VEGETABLES VERSUS AGUE.-A friend
and practicing physician writing us from Cen
trail Illinois, gives his experience and testimo-
ny in favor of the free use of vegetables and
fruits as preventatives against ague and bill
ious disorders. He writes: J -
F" Last fall was very sickly with us, agues
and bilious fevers prevailing. In my own
vicinity are between twenty and thirty fami-
lies, of which there was not one except my
own, consisting Of persons but was more
orless afflicted with the diseases peculiar to
the country. The observation which my pro-
fessson has given confirms me in attributing
our exemption from the agues and fevers of
this region for the past two seasons to the
free use of vegetables upon our table, with
but little meat. Now am not a professed
vegetarian, though practically, in warm wea-
ther, am one from choice. A good garden
through the season supplies us with all the
meat we crave; while, as the season advances
a good yard of choice melons affords us drink.
Hence, scarcely any meat, aside from a little
game in the shape of prairie chickens, &C., is
used on our table. Especially is salt pork
and its kindred food, which elsewhere around
us Is tne staple dlet, eS-cneWcd Dy us. .,.
A good argument for urging more atten-
tion to the garden. We are well assured in
our minds that if people would give more at
tention to the cultivation Of culinary vegeta-
bles, with view of keeping up constant
and varied supply for their tables, they would
far better enjoy health, and, therefore, tho
good things of life. Would they 60 farther,
and multiply to abundance the many choice
summer and autumnal fruits that are so easily
and readily propagated, and then make free
use Of them while in their well rpened state,
we are sure they would enjoy far greater ex-
emption from disease, whilst the palate
would be tickled with many luscious morsel
There is more economy in the vegetable
and fruit gardens than is shown at first sight
upon the surface. -.tl-

by persons interested, touching the point
referred toin the following communication,
for copy of which we are indebted, to the
Hon. GEORGE w. PEcK-and we hasten to
lay the same before our readers.
Many bona .fde purchasers have been un-
able to get upon their land as soon as they
anticipated, and the circular instruction ofthe
22d of January required them to furnish
proof Of settlement within tUO months from
the issuing of the notice, which would work
severe hardships if strictly adhered to.
We are glad to learn that some lenity is
to be given to bona fde settlers:
General Land Office, March 18th, 1856.
Hon. G. w. Peck, House of Reps.
Sir:-In reference to your personal inqui-

which proof of settlement and cultivation"
is required to be produced, in case of entries
under the graduation law, the following is
presented =
lst. The circular instructions of 23d Jan
uary, 1856, were designed to hasten the
proof of settlement and cultivation" and
to place the entries, as far as practicable in a
condition for patenting.
2nd. Where the proof of settlement is
not produced within two months from the
date of notice, the Office reserves the right
to extend the time, and where bona fde pur-
chasers have been prevented, by fortuitous
circumstances, from perfecting their rights
under the law, upon submitting affidavits of
the facts, specifying the time (within reason
able limits) within which full proof of rights
will be furnished, the notice under the circu-
lar will not be served on them until after the
expiration of the time specied in the afiida-
