We are indebted to Gen. WAGNER, Of the
Cambridge Land Office for an interesting
exhibit of the business Of this Office during
the past two years.
The district was established by Act Of
Congress, March 2. lS49. and the local
Office located at Saltwater from that time
until the November IS, 1858, when it was
removed to Cambridge, the county seat Of
Isanti county, and reopentd for business at
its present location December Is. 1883.
1t is bounded on the north by the line d.
viding townships As and 46 on the south
and west by the Mississippi River, and the
line dividing ranges n and %. 4,h princi
pal meridian and on the east by the boun-
Diary line dividing the States Of Minnesota
and W isconsin.
The following tables exhibit the total
number Of acres Of the public lands disposed
Of during the years 1867 and 1858. and also
the number Of presumption declarations,

in the State. The laundering interests Of the
town are already Of great value, while the
country back is being fast settled up BY an
industrious population, mostly Sweles aud

There are fair prospects ahead that Chi

Dext election for admission into ihe Demo-
cratic fold, for the people have artsst woke
up to knowledge Of the fact that they have
lately been having too much Of good
thing In the course pursued by their legis.
iative representatives. A fine field opens up
here for tho preaching Of sound Democratic
Gospel. The harvest truly is great and
