Observation-Disclosures by non resi-
dents is complained of in the st. Paul papers
as sad drawback on the prosperity of Min
nesota. In three counties lying along the
Mississippi river nineteen twentieths of the
land sold is said to be sold by Eastern spec
ulators, who will neither improve it them
selves nor sell to settlers at reasonable rates.
The counties are Sherburne, Morrison and
Benton. A plan to remedy this evil, how
ever. has been hit upon, and is already pro-
ducing its effects 1t is to tax this land
held by non-residents as much as the i'm
proved lands Of actual residents are assessed
at. In consequence of this, a contiderable
amount of land held by Eastern men has
been offered for sale. The cause of the
the large absorption of land by SPECTATORS
is said to be the fact that government at
first threw into market more land than was
needed by the progress of population. The
people of a new Territory or State have
always the means of remedying these
abuses, however, by means of taxation.

A COOP HIT.-A Methodist divine
of this city, on Sunday, administered
a most severe rebuke to common Gus
ION 10 these days, of reading adver-
tisement from the pulpit. A paper
was handed to him, giving notice that
the Introductory lecture of the annual
course would be delivered on Monday
night &c, at certain medical insti-
tuticr in this city. TIE preacher said
he had conscientious scruplcs against
cheating the printer, by making such
from the pulpit, that
he never heard such advertisements
read in church without reminding him
of the old deacon in Alexandria, who
on a certain accession, exhorted in most
earnest an vehement language the sin
ners IL his congregation to repent or
they would go to hell as sure as there
was foar for sale In Alexandra, and
be was sure there was -four there, for
he had received just she day before a
fine assortment. which he would sell as
cheap as any man in the city.

The Drunkards Death
What a spectacle is this What

What spectacle is this +! What a
lesson does it teach The destruction
of mans corporeal frame is not pleas
ant under any circumstances. The
taking down of his clay tabernacle,
even when he hopes to enter .build-
ing not made with hands, in the up
per skies, has something melancholy in
it. But when we see mortal stretch
ed upon his lying couch, whose life has
been spent in debauchery and revelry,
what is there connected with him or
his, either past or present, or future,
that it does not present the most hor-
rible and lorbidding aspect' Life Is
gone, property wasted, character blast
ed, wife and children beggared, there
he lies upen his bed of straw, with
parched lips, bloated countenance, and
blood-shot eyes, the very personi6ea>
ton Of ruin. Tossing upon his hard
and conf rlless couch, painting for
breath, and calling for help, all in vain.
Death marks him for his victim, and
now for while he is relieved from
frightltil ghosts and demons which HI
therto his disordered imagination, con-
science, the sleepless monitor, with re-
doubled vigor, assails his troubled soul,
and brings up before him every act of
his worthless life, to blast all hope, to
plunge him in deeper agony. and to
hurry his affl-ishted spirit into the pres
ence of his God. How loudly and bit
terly does he complain of himself, or
life, of friends, of God.
He prays, but it is the angry impre
cations of doomed spirit, demanding
of his Maker a speedier discharge.
The wild glare of his scorched eyes,
his restless tossing, his retching hic-
cough, ana his deep hollow groanns,
tell how hard it is for drunkard to
die. The very presence of once-loved
wife and children kindle in his bosom,
in advance, the very fires of hell The
soothing voice OF mercy and the plant.
i've prayer of the man of God kneeling
by his bedside, but add fuel to the al
ready raging fame. He calls for wa
ter, water, water, now, ere he takes up
his habita,ion, 'one drop will not be
allowed him, but ali, the cool drrugat
only adds force to the devouring fire.
Friends gather around to take last
farewell, and his tremulous hand is ex-
tended to bid them adieu; thoughts of
the past and of the future send their
whitening arrows, barbed with the poi
son of death, to his bursting heart. and
with one strong, agohlzing struggle,
his ruined soul staggers into the spirit
land to receive its sentence. Pity,
compassion, humanity, would let the
veil drop here, and cover up till the
great assize the doom of the deluded,
misguided wretch; but divine truth
has said, 'All drunkards shall have
their portion in the lake that burneth
with fire aud birthstone

The Sword of Ethan Allen.

at East Manville, on Grand River
some twenty miles below Grand Ra.
pids, Michigan, lives a family by the
name of Hopkins, and here, in the pos
session of an aged lady, niece of Gen.
Allen, is his sword.
Aware, says our informant. who saw
it two years since. that the leaders Of
the revolutionary struggle were often
selected for their weight and mettle,
as well as other military accomplish
ments, we were not surprised to find
their arms of similar kind. The
sword in question was without orna-
meht, and roight be hundred years
old by Its appearance very heavy,
with an iron hilt, on which is engraved
in rude characters, as if cut by jack
knife, the name of Ethan Allen , the
blade long, >traigt and single-edged,
in the style of Damascus steel.
Though the strong rust spots were
proof that a long term of peace is un-
congenial to weapons of war, this relic
of the olden time seemed to pos >ess, in
pent-up silence, all the fire that fash
ed from its surface when waving in
triumph over the gates of Ticonderoga
One of our company intimated to
the owner that if fifty dollars would be
any object, he would like to present
the sword to his father, who was an
intimate friend and adviser OF the Gen
eral, with the assurance that it should
descend as an heirloom of much value
through successive generations.
