The snow is going, going going, and the rills
commence flowing, as the melting icy chrys-
tails weeps, whilst the balmy south. wind wind
whistles now the sleigh bells scarcely jingle,
and cold north-winds cease to Jingle, the hills
are gray the virgin snow is only seen in wales
below the streets and walks are wet, the pol
ished boot TO longer jet, and winter king no
longer reigns, for spring is breaking, fast bis
chains--the myrthful laugh and merry glee OF
boys and girls so bite and free, as on the snow
with painting steed, they hurried with a falcons
spsed--is no more heard, but moist and dowing,
the snow is going, going, going!

We see that S. NJ. Smith has announced
himself as a can ldate for the above nam a
office, declaring that he stands aloof from all
"cliqu's ard tin-pans;" yet at the same
time We see that his name is used in counec-
ton with the late Republican meeting held
IN this city, being required to act as one OF
the vigilance committee for the ensuing year

Land Office.

GLOW much progress Viii be made in the bus
mess OF the Office Land Office, al the rate Of
twenty enteries per day, any one can understand
when Ne state that there are about 220 town
ships in the district, and that less than 80 have
been reached in regular osder since the IS OF
December, when the euteries were commenced
IN the southeast part OF the district
We doubt very much whether this is state
of things to be desired None are beneittsJ by
it bat The land agents, while its direc. tendency
is to increase the cost OF the public lands to the
actual sett.egs''-Chronotype OF Feb. 2Uth.
Now we look upon the above extracts as an
effort at buncolnb making by The iand agent -
How will the present progress of making en-
tries at the land Office enhance the cost of the
pablo lands TO the actual settler?
The actual settler By laying the foundation
for dwelling house, can preempt one hundred
and sixty acres and have one year to complete his
improvements, and pay for his land at 81 p per
acre, and no SPECTATOR can bid against him -
he can also prove up his preemp'ion right and
pay for his land at any time within the year
hence IL makes no difference to the actual settler
whether he sales progress rapidly or not, so far
as his own land is Concerned. Il does, however,
make greet difference with him whether the
land is catered by the actual settler or by the
non resident Spectator. 1t is for the interest
of The actual settler 10 have the lands entered by
actual settlers-their Improvements enhances
the value of his lands-they help him to build
school houses-thsy help him to make roads
and brdgc>-they build mills and improve and
deyelope the resources of the country; while the
nonresident specuator holds on to his land I'M
til 1t IS made valuable by the Improvements
made in the country by the actual settler Hur-
rah, say we, for the actual settler Buncomb
articles written by land agents, can't effect the
reputation of the land officers, nor induce the
actual settlers to Join them in their howl against
them.
Let us figure little. Twenty enteries per
day, averaging 120 acres each, for 300 days,
would make 720 600 acres, which would amount
to 100000 at 20 per acre, being one fifth of
the average yearly amt received in the WHOLE
UNITED STATES from 1897 to the close of 1853.
Let US see how the case would stand If the en-
tries were being made at the rate which they
were being made prior to the 20 Dec. last At
that time the average enterieS at the Office in
this city was over AZ per day, averaging 100
acres each. The aggregate no. of acres for 800
days would be 1872 900 which would cover
every acre OF vacant land in this land district,
which would be worth entering. Not more
than one-twentieth of the land being entered at
this time IS being entered for the actual sitter.
What friend to Western Iowa desires to see nine
teen twentieths of the land in the hands of non
resident spectators? Again we say, hurrall
for the actual settler!

I Tne E8t0A AME1y ~ NOUH0SA"
The fatal rencoantre between Mr.. X. p.
Snow and Jesse VIM, occurred on Friday
the 5th inst, ut Ell Horn City, some distance
below Foaesns.le, in Nebraska, -
1t appears that Mr.. Shows claim to a
house, and some property, was disputed by
Mr.. VIM, who, with several of his friends,
went to take possession. Mr.. Snow forbade
his entrance and ordered him out. Winn
went out, obtained Bowie knife; returned,
swearing he would kill Snow, who tried to
keep him away with club or stick. Mr..
Vim succeeded in cutting Mr.. Snow very
seriously and then retreaisd; but was fired
upon and shot by some one in or near the
house.
MIR. Taber Father in-law to Mr.. Snow
was arrested in this city, on Monday, charged
with murder, and was taken before Just
ices court for examination; but was soon
released on writ of Habeus Corpus and
discharged from custody, by Judge Riddle,
for want of jurisdiction.
Mr.. I. has sbsented himself from the
place and Mr.. Snow is slowly recovering
from his wodads, which we're quite severe;
one in the breast and another Ia the thick
portion of the high. All the parties con-
cerned in this unfortunate affair were respect.
able men and ordinarily unexceptionably
quiet citizens.
Mr.. VIM was stirring business man,
without family, who, by his industry, had
accumulated I considerable amount of prop
erty. lie had no relatives in this region.
His remains we're buried in this city on Mon
day.
We learn that in the examination of Mr..
Tabor, no direct evidence appeared against
him.
