IMPORTANT LAND Orrrcn DEc1s1o,

-- IHpoRTANy LAND -OErrcE DECISION.
In every case whore two or more ap-
plicaLions are made for the location Of
the same tract Of land, and the sale Is
made at auction to one Of the applicants,
it is held BY the Commissioned Of the
Land Office that in all such cases a land
warrant cannot be used, money be-
ing required before patent can be
issued. The law required that whore
more than one application is made for
tho same tract of land, the register shall
settle the contest by putting the land at
auction, and the highest bid takes the
land. A very large quantity of lands
thus disposed OF has been satisfied by
the location Of land warrants and the
excess over sl,e5 per acre paid in mon
ey. All such locations are to be can
celled under the decision cf tia Com-
missioner, and money required to be
paid. Revolutionary Virgins script
will be received in such cases st 81, ,o5
per acre. instead of money, whenever it
is offered. This decision makes scrip
much more valuable than heretofore,
and viii doubtless be in good demand.

JACKSONVILLE.

A votary of Christianity was once
tauntingly asked by skeptic, what he
had to say for his religion i? He replied,
"Christisnity spoke for itself"
So we think about Jacksonville. To
all who have seen the losely spot, whence
we hail, there would be no need of o
portrait; but there are but part off
our readers who have been thus favor
ed, and we will venture brief sketch,
with a promise Of moro anon:
jacksonville is Situate on the best land
route from Dubuque to St. Paul, ITO
miles from tie former place. The
great, direct thoroughfare from Milwau-
kee, on the Lake, 70 Clear Lake west,
crosses the former road in the Public
Sqauro--two of the most impor:ant roads
in northern Iowa. There are ssog cigA.
county roads running through the town
--an tadsr Of roads for the future.
Last May, the ,frst house was COM
menced IN the place, on the villa prairie
sod. There is now respectable popu-
lation in the place, and aome ten new
houses in progress Of building, and
some, 90 or 50 more contemplated for
the season. Two stores, and two more
expected soon, and two good Hotels one
physician, several carpenters, wagon
maker, and blacksmith shop. But 7iese
towns, in any country, but one year old,
can boast a press and weekly paper in
it. Indeed Jacksonville would have
had press aud paper, only sir naoa.As
after its survey, had not solemn con-
tract boen violated.
Jacksonville is on the natural and
most feasible route for the two great
Rail Roads in which the people in North
srn Iowa are SO deeply interested-from
Dubuque to St. Paul, and from Milwau-
kee to Clear Lake. The South fork of
Turkey river, commonly qallad Crane
geek, runs one milo east aud north of
town, and affords an amount OF water
commensurate with any reasonable de-
mana for water power. ....
Additional to all the above facilities
connecting with the place, more pictu-
resque, lovely, desirable, healthy and
.nlposing location for town and future
city, is very hard to End in the interior
OF Hawkeyedom. If we were Of the
gassy type, we could certainly boast,
also, OF the high-toned moral, christian
and literary tsst Of the Is,ple in town
and country yicinago. AS an evidence
of the fact, large district school house
will go up this Summer, and a high lite
rary institution, based on the principles
of practical utility and general improve
ment in the system of educational in
struct;on, is contemplated as soon as
practicable - Ch;cE. Rep.

"a youth aged ls, belonging to res

Real Estate Operations.

We, understand that the proprietors
of town property in st. Charles have
sold building lots to the amount of over
$1,000 within tho past three weeks
In majority of cases the purchasers
havo stipulated to build dwelling hous-
tes upon tho lots within specified
time. eh .s<.'ss g. .z'i = s.' ''-'' @..'
1--WE also learn that ono. firm in town
Gland agents sold real estate last week
Ito the amount of over twenty thousand
dollars. Other dealers in real estate
hero, are also doing a brisk business,
but of the amount sold by them we are
not informed. An explanation of this
activity in land sales is had in the fact
of our beautiful and advantageous loca-
ton, and the low prices at which our
town property and farming lands are
held, as compared with similar property
of other localities possessing far less
advantages. The. impression appears
to have prevailed, to some extent, that
real estate in St. Charles is held at n
high figure, and many have been in
duced to pass by us on that account /;
but after making Investigations else
where, they have finally returned and
made purchases here. 1t lis pleasing
consolation to know tha, "gassing" and
and an inflatedvaluation of lands are not
commodities Of the st. Charles market.

A MELANCHOLY BUT DESERVING SELL.
Two men were run over by a train of
cars on the Harrisburgh and Lancaster
railroad, near Highspire, Pa, on the Sd
inst, ard both killed. A large amount
of bank notes were found on their per-
sons, and they were supposed by the
people Of Highspire to be men OF prop
erty, and they went to considerable ex.
pense in getting handsome Collins, &c.
The bank bills found upon their persons
proved to be all counterfeits, and it has
since been discovered thatth deceased
were the leaders Of gang of counter.

committed robbery in Middleton the

A Snake Removed from wonen's
Stomach. >Ha ~ a.' a#A"
DR.. A. Myers, of this city, has ac-
quired some celebrity as the inventor
ola trap for the removal oftape worms.
He has recently performed cure that
is worthy Of more then ordinary men
ton, as similar one, we believe, has
| not occurred in this section. "'f
Mrs. L. Ryan, of Fort Wayne, about
22 years ofage, had been severely af-
hicted for four years with a sensation in
the stomach as though there was some
reptile moviug'in it. During thattirne
she was treated for various diseases by
numerous physicians of skill, ard by
several for tape worm. Hearing Of DE-.
Myers aew process for the removal Of
| Parasite from the human stomach, Mrs.
r. came to this city and placed herself
under his charge. Within two weeks
DR.. NJ. removed from her stomach a
snake aboIt three and a half f,et long
and one and half inches in diameter,
and relieved her Of all her suffering, in
stead of aggravating itas had been the
result Of previous treatment she had
received. The latter part Of her i'll
ness, she was unable to attend to the do
mestic affairs of her family, or even to
take care of herself. 1t required two
| hours to prepare for retiring st night /;
and after being assisted into bed, an
equal length of time transpired. b.foro
she could lie down, and often she was
deprived Of sleep for nights together.
Frequently she would walk the floor un-
til exhausted, BECAUSE unable to lay
down without the most oxcruciating
pain. Mrs. Ryau's own words are that
"hcr sutcrings were such that she often
prayed for death to relieve Them"
Mrs R. supposed she swallowed the
snake, which was apparently Of the
water species, while drinking from
spring in the evening st her former
residence west of Fort Wayne. She
left the care OF Dr.. NJ. for home. feeling
as though she was saved from worse
than death. .#s t
