pgW We visited the. Sabbath School at
this place on last Sabbath, and were
pleased to find large, interesting
and orderly school. The Secretary
announced the number in attendance
to be sirty-Sir, and we are informed
that this is the usual number. The
Library contains about 200 vols, be-
sides asupply of Testaments, Bibles,
Hymns, questions, &c. For this we
understand they are indebted to the
efforts of Jonas Griffith and Mrs.
Blair Of Perrysville, Ind ,---sent last

BLACK JACK.

With pleasure, Mr.. Black Jack,
The pre-emption law of 184l, re-
qdires that every 10Th and 32d sec
tions, shall be reserved for educational
purposes. There is no provision
made for people who have claimed
those sections prior to survey, The
law don't treat on the subject We
are Of the opinion, however, that
settlers occupying these sectionswill
be compelled to vacate them. Squat
ters, too impatient to wait for Uncle
Sam to mark out farms for them,
must run their own risk, if they
chance to trespass on his premises.
The old, follow, though, may be len
ientato his eager sons, and by taxing
them q little for their rashness, may
possibly succeed in adjusting the mat
ter satisfactorily to all concerned,
For the satisfaction Of Black Jack
and ourSelf, we have addressed q line
