The election results, 50 far as the same
have come to hand, are extremely graft
fyine 10 those satisfied to have the Coun-
ty Seat remain where it is at present To-
Gated. The people have now for the
third time pronounced an emphatic NO!
to the selfish and intriguing project of
of removal, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that our Board of Supervisors will here
after heed the voice of the people, so dis
tinctly understood on this question, and
lot the agitation thereon cease until the
people, rather than two or three individ-
uals, demand change, The result, as
near rs we can ascertain from unofficial
reports, is majority against For the re-
moval" of about eight hundred. We
shall publish the official statement next

The spirit of buying, selling and OK
change of lands is becoming thoroughly
aroused in various portions of our county.
In the eastern part, composed of the rich
est and best improved farms, from twen-
ty-five to sixty dollars per acre are being
realized, and several farms have recently
changed hands at these prices. Unimprov-
ed lands, in desirable locations, are offer
ed and taken at from ten to twelve dol
airs per acre. The present prospects favor
a larger migration TO our own and adj
joining counties this season than sfor sew
eral seasons past. The fact is becoming
rapidly and widely known that no coun-
try presents greater inducements to
those seeking desirable western homes,
than the northern counties of our own
State, and such knowledge is fast urging
on hardy pioneers from the Eastern and
Middle States to avail themselves of the
inducements so profered and the result
will be speedy development to an I'M
precedented degree of our vast agricultu-
raj and mineral rccources, both to the pub
bic and private advantage of parties in
terested.
