A correspondent, in reply to the inquiry Of
Frank" concerning the cost of small farms eli
eby located this city, states that in Eastern
Connecticut, farms of so to IS acres, with good
house, barn and other Out-buildiDgs within 25 miles
of three or four cities, and within two miles Of vii
lagos with schools churches, pOst-otficesr stores,
&c, and in good community, may be bought for
$1,000 to $500. These farms are Of course hard
and rocky but their soil, if well cultivated, is pro-
ductive We presume farms as cheap may be OBJ
tanned in central Long Island, and parts of New
Jersey, and in the vicinity of the Delaware River
almost any where above the Water Gap. Bat farms
to be obtained so cheaply are generally in bad
dition and almost Away devoid of Fruit, small,
scraggy Apple orchard and chance Pear, Cherry
or Plum tree excepted. A good orchard Of choice
Fruit, no matter of what kind, is worth from 800
to $500 per acre anywhere within half days ride
of this city.

In allusion to the Interchange Of opinions between
the lawyers employed in the Street Commissioner
cases. not to the character of their clients or TO
the facts and points of law in dispute-sut as to
each other, the Times observes that "things went
50 far on Thursday last that even Mr. O'Conor, the
most peacable of meo, anticipated day of reckon
ing" OF course be does, and 80 do all the other
counsel in the case, and fearful day of reckoning

not law the harmony of the universe do not take
part in such a catter-walliDg quartette without
being paid for it. Of course when Mr.. OConor
spoke of the "dsy Of reckoning" he must have been
thinking Of biz fee. With such fee in prospect
who would not be able to preserve his equinimity
and keep bis temperi 1t was an excellent idea in
Mr.. O'Conor to throw out that suggestion by way

The excitement, heat and disturbance to tho
public peace growing out Of Mayor Woods attempt
to seize by force, for one Of his partisans, tho
Street Commissioners office, has risen to such
hight as to reach even the lawyers employed in the
thousand and one njunctions, certioraris, habeas
corpuses and other legal proceedings to which this
contest has given occasisn. Generally those gen.
tlemen Of the long-robe are perfect nOn'couduc-
tors. Not only can they touch pitch without being
defled-a most valuable accomplishment consider
ing the clients that some of them have-they can
handle the red hot enbers Of controversy without
the slightest symptom Of feeling their own fingers
burn. But this Street Commissioners case seems
likely to prove an exception. There are strong
symptoms that the counsel, trusting no further to
the wisdom of the bench, may settle matters BY a
bout Of isticuffs among themselves. Nor are we
BY any means certain that this resort to the Old
trial by battle would not be the best that crcum.

In this computation, we have given to the Slave
Democracy not only all the Members they have
choeen but all they claim to have chosen, within the
limits of the proposed State of Minnesota, and two
more than can establish any legal right to seats,
even concedng the unsupported and questionable
claims of The Pioneer with regard to Armstrong

that they have never had on the ground anything
like quorum, and that they seeded with about
forty Members present from full quorum (54)
