the winner, having % faith in lotteries,
proposed to throw dice for it, at twenty

aud Won the the ticket. A few days af-
terwards the Havana steamer arrived,
and lol the ticket had drawn s25 900.
The original oEner, who had thus
thrown away fortune, on hearing the
news, was taken with an attack of brain

As great anxiety is doubtless felt, every

we give it briefly, with the reasons of the

demurrer must be sustained, because it
did not appear by what authority the suit
had been instituted and then stated that
it could not be brought except by au-

from the petition it did appear that the

were insolvent: that from the pleadings it
appeared that the purchasers were one of
the parties defendant to the suit that by
the act of 1857 the franchises passed to

Interesting Information Relative to
= Bounty Land Warrants.

Bounty Land Warrants.
- The following is copy of an impor-
tafft decision which has just emanated
from the General Land Office:
: Sir. Inreply to the questions propound-
red in your letter of the 23d inst, have
to state:
l. That the bounty land warrants is
sued by the United States are declared,
by the act of Congress approved June 3,
1858, to be personal property.
z. That such warrant cannot be sold by
an administrator of the estate OF the de-
ceased warrantee for the payment of debts
contracted by such warrantee.
3. That such warrants, when issued dur
ing the lifetime of such warrantee, and
not disposed of by him, become, if he die
intestate, the property Of his heirs at law, in
accordance with the law of Domicil, and
cdnnot be attached and sold for his debts.
If he die intestste, see fifth paragraph
following.
4. Warrants issued after the death of
warrantee, but upon proof filed during
his lifetime, become the property of the
widow, if there be one, and if no widow,
then the property of his heirs at law, with
out regard to their age.
S. The proceeds of the sale of war
rant, 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 prac-
tice of this Office has been to recognize
assignments properly made by the admin
istrator for distribution of the proceeds
among the heirs at law, after payment of
the funeral and proper court expenses
attorneys and administrators fees, not
taxed by the Court, are not regarded as
proper Court expcnses.)
q. The rules of this Office require. in all
cases when warrant has been sold by an
executor, that duly certified copy of the
will, with letters testamentary, shall be
attached to the warrant; and, in cases
where sale is made by an administrator
or guardian, the certified copies of the let
ters of administration or 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.

Mr.. Buchanan and the Charleston
Convention.

>ohNOhthOhs
The Washington correspondent of the
U. S. Gazette thus speculates upon the
designs of the Presidents:
On Monday week the Union will ap-
pear under its new auspices. Whatever
may be professed or protested, it is per-
fectly understood here that the selection
of Cen Bowman as its conductor is de-
signed specially to advance the interest
of Mr. Buchanan as candidate before
the Charleston Convention. That idea is
fixed, and cannot be removed. The pc
'culiar and personal relations existing be-
tween the parties would settle misgiving,
if any existed. But taken in connection
with the declai ations which have been
freely made since the office-holders' con-
venton at Harrisburg, no reasonable
doubt can be entertained on this subject.
The President is now fairly in the field,
and gentlemen who have directed their
preferences elsewhere, upon the assurance
that his name would not be used, will
doubtless rejoice at the opportunity Of
turning to their first love. 1t is easy to
imagine what rush there will be from
the custom houses, land offices, post off
ces, and other patriotic institutions, when
the public announcement shall reach
them, though it may have been preceded
by some gentle admonitions, which were
nearly as impressive.
"Veritas," the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette upon the same subject
says:
Arrangements for the transfer of the
Union to Bowman, was made by the
President, personally. Wendell offered
to give the paper, and contribute 81 ,000 a
month to its support, and something to
the struggling Administration prints in
Pennsylvania, in consideration of recev-
ing the printing of the Post Office blanks
and other work in the Executive depart
ment. The negotiation progressed sew
cral weeks, and was finally concluded
few days ago.

Description OF A YouNG DEvIL.-Noth-
ing can be more instructive toa thinker
than the manner in which the devil is
personified to some good people, who
seem to have rather too good knowledge
of him for their comfort. A worthy farm
er at country meeting for the relation
of the religious experience of its men,
bers, said he had been severely tried by
young devil. Said he: "He come last
night and sot down on the side of my bed,
and grinned at me as | was sayin' my
prayers; he wa'ant the old devil, dear
brethren, but little young one that
would weigh about forty pounds; he sot
down on the side of the bed, and / could
jest see his tail and huffs stickin' out
under his cloak; it was terrible cold that
night, and he looked as tho they tuck
good care on him to hum. | had good
chance to look at him, but | went on
prayin'; he didn't frighten me a bit; I'd
seen his daddy before; so | looked out
of corner of my eye, and could see
his leetle horns; they was jest beginnin'
to start, like little bull-calf, they wasn't
more than two inches long, but they look
ed as tho they might git to be terrible
pokerish some day.-N. Y. iScalpcl.
