RnINrY LAND MARRANTS.

The following is a copy Of an important
decision which has just cmanatod from the
General Land Office
l. That the bounty land warrants issued
by the United States are declared by the act
of Congress. approved June 3, 1858, to be
personal property.
3 That such warrant cannot be sold by an
administrator Of the estate Of the deceased
warrantec, for the payment Of debts contract
ed by such warrautoe.
B. That such warrants, when issued during
the lifetime of the warrantoe and not dispos-
ed of by him, become, if he die intcstate, the
property Of his hcirs-at-law, in accordance
with the law Of domicil, and cannot be at
tochcd and sold for the payment Of his debts.
If he dies intestate, see fifth paragraph fol-
lowing
a. Warrants issued after the death Of the
warranteo, but upon proof filed during his
lifetime, become the property of his widow,
if there be one and if no widow. then the
property of his hcirs-at-law, without regard
to their age.
>. The proceeds of the sale of a warrant
made by an administrator is the absolute
property of the widow herself. or legatees,
without regard to any debt contracted by the
warrantee but the practice Of this office has
been to recognize assignments properly made
by an administrator for distribution Of the
proceeds among the hcirs-at-law, after pay
mcnt of the funeral and proper court ex-
pcnses.
Attorneys and administrators fees, not
taxed by the court. are not regarded as prop
err court expenses.
6. The rules of this office require, in all
cases, when warrant has been sold by an
executor, that a duly certified copy of the
will, with letters testamentary, shall be at
tached to the warrant; and in cases where a
sale is made by an administrator or guardian,
that certified copies of the letters of admin
istrationsr guardianship shall be attached !;
and that the sale has been made for the use
of the heirs only must be shown either in the
assignment or in the papers submitted with
each case

the death Of one Us best and most useful cit.
zeus-thc Hon FERRtNp FAssErr MERRILL
lie bad brcn unwcll for time. but not sd
much so as to interrupt bis usual ayocations.
Indeed, on Monday morning he felt better
than he had done for some time, and went to
bill. office to enter upon the duties of the day
with new hopes. inspired by an arrangement
with gentleman who was, on that day, to
unite with him in professional business. Mr.
Merrill was there seized with a severe pain
in the region Of the heart, and Immediately
walked to his house and summoned physi-
clans DR.. Richardson was quickly at hand,
and was in the act OF administering relief,
when Mr. Merrill fell into his arms and in an
instant died
He was tho oldest son of the late Hon.
TIMOTHY MERRILL, and born in Montpelier
ON the 2ith day of October, 1914 Atavery
carly age he established firm religious char
actor that was maintained through life and
with this were united manliness beyond his
years, and modosty rare in persons Of equal
accomplishments He was prudent nay cau-
tious almost to a fault, as respected others,
bnt not for himself, lie was also made ia-
miliar in boyhood with public duties, as an
assistant to bis father in his professional bus
mess, and as Clerk of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes and Secretary of State Thus was
he prepared before the ordinary time for the
responsibilities of active life, and Providence
had ordained for him an early entrance upon
them. lie was Immediately the successor Of
his father IN the family, in his profession, and
in aIl his high places AZ the age of p, the
bWdcn,ot hls father business fell upon him,
being the oldest son at "a, he was elected
Clerk of the House Of Representatives, to
which office he received eleven successive e.
lecnons' until the year 1919. when he was
elected Secretary Of State and that office he
held nnih 1853. In these Offices and as
Register Of Probate, States Attorney and
Representative of the town, there has hardly
