Notice.

Editor "Aebra4kG Adrertiser':
DEAR SIR: In looking over the last number of your
paper a notice attracted my attention signed by
Jerome Hoover, Esqs in which he states that certain
stories are in circulation that the undersigned claim
some interest in NemahaC City for the purpose of in
juring its prosperity. 1t may do quite well to cir
culate a report of that nature where the facts are
unknown, but to those knowing the facts such a
statement is merely foolish.
And for the purpose of giving a fair opportunity
to persons to ascertain the facts we hereby warn all
persons from purchasing any pretended claim or
interest in the said town of Nenaha City, from the
said jerome Hoover, as he has sold and received pay
for nine twelfths of said town, and suit is now pending
to place the undersigned in POSSESSION of the interest
by them purchased in the same; and they have not
authorized the said Hoover to sell or dispose Of any
portion Of their interest, but directed suit to be
broughtlOng since for its recovery.
Yours, &c,

SWAMP LANDS AND LANDS OVER
WHICH SHALLOW LAKES HAVE RECEDED.
There is no principle better settled
than that proprietors of contaminous
lands bordering on permanent bodies
of water W their creation as riparian
prOprietors. Interspersed, however,
over the public domain are multitudes
of shallow lakes or ponds, many of
which, in the early surveys, we're sup
posed to be permanentbodies Of water,
and meandered accordingly. But from
the changes of climate, and other nat
ural causes, many of these lakes are
disappearing, in whole or in part, and
have become dry and arabic land
This being fully established, the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
has decided that no lands of this class
fall under the swamp grant, nor-does
any right attach thereto under the ri
parian law, but in all cases, Of the kind,
the lines of the public surveys, under
this decision, are extended over the
former bodies of such lakes, and the
lands are disposed of as other public
domain. In all cases, however, where
settlers or other parties interested are
DESTROYS of securing titles to such lands
application should be made to the Sur
veyor General for the surveys to be
executed and the proper returns made
thereof to the District and General
Land Offices, whereupon the lands will
be liable to presumption, and, after
public proclamation and ordinary en-
try, to private sale. = Washingtuo
