Cole, on trial at Ashtabula for poi
soning his wife, about a year since, has been
acquitted. The verdict astonishes every
body who heard the trial, or read the tes-
timony. The Cleveland Herald speaking
of this mockery of justice, says:
In this connection We may mention that
on Monday morning hurgler escaped
from the Ashlnbu!a County Jail. If he
broke Jail before trial he is fool for he had
better have stayed and taken lis chances.

HARD TINES AND GOLD IN KANSAS
By private letter received from Lawrence,
Kansas, under date of the 18th of Novem-
Der, We get the follwing:
Business has been growing duller and
duller, and congratulate myself that ma!-
tiers turned so as TO keep me out of perma-
nent business. Money is very tight, and it
is absolutely impossible TO realize on real
estate, except, at ruinous sacrifices, The
gold excitement RACES. 1t is sound tn
stitution, believe. Eight members of the
Lawrence Company which went out last
Spring, have returned within the last two
days, in addition to ''BiIly Parsons" George
Smith and their companions, who got in
about two weeks ago. l have talked q
great deal with the boys. They all expect
to return next Spring, They all bring
specimens of the gold, and its average is
% carrots. They appear candid and reliable,
but are very enthusiastic; and their reports
are generally accredited in Lawrence
There is Il good deal of excitement; the
gold question is the topic of conversation
everywhere. '.Caleb s. Pratt" has got out

Almost everybody here expects to go in
the Spring. g. w. Deitzler, Currier w.
Babcock, Walter Oakley, (and the Lord
only knows who doesnt,) talk ofgoing out.
Unless something now improbable operates
to throw damper on the enthusiasm, there
will be greater rush to that region next
Spring. than was ever witnessed in this or
any other country. 1t is impossible to
realiz'' or conf njciure what it may amount
to. There are now some 1900 persons
en- route for the mines. Many of them will
suffer great llardships, and perhaps send
back discouraging reports, but they were
very foolish to go out as late as they did.

The end Of the Atlantic cable was land.

on the 9Th of August, 1867, and the other
end from the same vessel on the 9th of

from the Val-nua by the Niagara last
year, still remains, and was to be splicrd

The Land Sales i'm Nebraska.

Next Monday, the 9th inst, the sale of
the public lands, unpre.empted, within the
bounds Of the Omaha, Nebraska City,
aud Brownville Land Districts, will take
place. This comprises all the land, north
of the Kansas line, to the southern line
of Burt County, and east from the Guide
Meridian, to the Missouri River u tract
averaging nearly 40 miles in width. This
tract Of land, is at present, and always
will be, the bes, and most valuable portion
Of Nebraska. While the land in the two
Districts south of the Platte, is as good,
agriculturally considered. as in the Oma.
ha District, yet there is moi that import
aimee attached to it, commercially. Sar-
py and Douglas Counties-the southern
part of the Omaha District, will always
hold the same relation to Nebraska, as
Philadelphia does to Pennsylvania. From
the commercial advantages Of this region.
it cannot be otherwise.
Much of this land proclaimed by the
President, has already been taken up by
pre-emptIon, and the remainder, doubtless
will be secured, when offered. The sales
will not last over two weeks, aud all
claims will be forfeited as soon as they
begin No private entry can be made
until the sales have closed.
