cording'to the published statement,

copy of Circular signed by the

down their arms for the present, and
giving as arreason for the, abandon

Europe and 1869.

European affairs during the past
year have been singularly interesting
and not little instructive. We have
had already to talk of the ending of
the Cuban difficulty, Of the Sucz Ca.
nal, of the Ecumcnical Council, of the
Irish Church, Of Fren'h reforms, of
the Alabama claims, of the deaths of
great men-such men, for example,
as Earl Derby and others of the same
or cqnal standing in almost all lands,
and to-day we present the situation
as it existed in England, Ireland, Ger
many, France, Russia and Turkey to-
wards the latest days of December.
The year that is gone has been a
big year for Europe and the world.
On this Continent we can boast of
much. But no one can deny that the
"ld World has made big and glorious
strides toward the great future. Two
things command attcntion-the Suez
Canal and the Ecnmenical Council.
We do not despise French and En-
glish reforms; but we cannot refuse
to admit that the Suez Canal and tho
grcat Catholic Council have been the
events of the year.
Tho Suez Canal Is only partial sue
CESS and the Ecumenical Council
promises to be big failure. The ca
pal isin harmony with the spirit of
the age. 1t helps us ON in our grand
world efforts. The Council is alto
gether question of the doubtful f1-
ture. This, however, must be said
the Old World marches on and success
gives her hope. The hope is not the
less all on the side of the peoples.
More and more does Europe initiate
America, and the universal impression
is that the people are winning as
aggainstSthe privileged classes. So far
as the last year is concerned the gain
has been on the side of the peoplo
and in favor Of general justice. "A
coup detot after the fashion of that of
lS48 is less possible than ever. The
world must march on until we arrive
at the time when the thinking sons s. Of
men shall be able TO boast Of q grand r.
federation. Herald. III i'>'

AN OLD WHEAT GRowER's


AN OLD WHEAT GRowER's Ex.
.rER1ENcE.-Major Philip says in the
Manoc Farmer.
"For the first eight or ten years
that [ farmed it myself, Twas much
pcrplcXed by wheat being smutty,
and tried the various remedies then
in use, but with 10 success. took
some six bushels, which was quite
smutty, and went to a neighboring
town to mill. There I saw one of
the most successful wheat growers
in Franklin County, and he gave
me the following remedy: s.Take
large tub, sufficient to holdsthe
amount wanted to be used put ii
the wheat and wash clcan; then
drain off tic water, and fill again
with clean water, SO as to cover the
wheat. Then dissplyeftwo ounces
of pure vitrol toeeach bushel, and
turn into the tub;: stirs altogether
and let the same stand twenty-four
hours, and then SOW the seed"
Gin following out the directions
given above, I the first year prepar-
ed six bushels to SOW a certain
piece Of ground, and there was not
enough by aboat one peck. Invent
and got that, washed it and sowed
the same, but without being soaked
in the preparation of vitriol. The
result was, the last sowed grew at
least one-fourth smut; while that
prepared with vitrol grew not one
head or kernel OF smut, that could
be found. I have followed the
foregoing rule myself for the last
thirty years, and have induced many
others to do the same, and always
with thea same result.

$780, 0O-$650, 600 being the products of
the Colony. The exports of coal amount

The revenue for the last few years has
averaged about 5000, 600, naturally causing

this goes toward paying the high salaries

A settler wishing to purchase with
money, must make affidavit that he has
been on the land, and made some improve
ment, and by paying $500 fees, in the
land office, can have certificate OF pre-
emption, and at the end of six months,
can prove up" as tits called, that is prove
by two witnesses that he has lived on such
land for six months, and has made i'm
provements thereon, when he can pay Tor
it, and take deed, or full title. All lands
within these grants are held at 81 per
acre. To take homestead, it is necessa-
ry to make an application in writing, ac'
companied by an oath, or affidavit, that IL
is for settlement and cultivation, when oy
paving S14 fees, at land office, the appll-
can't will get receipt, show ing that he can
have title, when he fulfills the require
ments of homestead law, which are, that
he must live on it five years, and improve
the same. After making application, he
must get on the land and begin improve
ments within six months, and must not
abandon it, or be off from it, for more than
six months, at one time, during the five
wears. At the end of five years he can
prove up, and get full title. Any man
who is a citizen Of United States, who has
filed his intention to become such, and is
twenty one years old, or any widow, or
any unmarried woman, twenty-one years
old, can secure homestead. Within the
grant eighty acres is full homestead, and
outside one hundred and sixty acres 10
any persons, wishing homesteads, who
cannot 90 to the land Office, the United
States will grant homestead, upon bis ap-
plication and his taking the proper oath
before the Clerk of the Court. in the coun-
ty in which such applicant resides, and
forwarding the same to the Register of the
Land Office with the fees, Sl4. Any one
can do this, by employing some person to
make the selection, and then he can insert,
in his application, thenumbers and the de-
scription of the land selected, and then
within six months go on the land, and be
gin to improve. There are men in these
counties, who win attend to all such bust
ness on reasonable terms, and make selec-
ton as good as can be had there, and any
one intending to 60 west, or into north.
western Iowa within six months, would do
better to make his selection this spring,
for if emigration should be as strong this
season, into that part of iowa, as it was
last year, these lands will all be taken by
the first day of July next. would advise
ALL who intend to take homesteads, to
make out their application, and take the
oath, before the Clerk of the Court, and
| forwardethem to some friend, or agent, and
have the selection and entry made imme.
diately, and if they are not anxious to get
timber, they will all be well pleased with
the land There is some nice timber
along Little Sioux river, in Clay and
Obrien counties, but all taken up. There
is another railroad surveyed, and in course
of construction, from st. Paul in Minneso-
ia, to Sioux City, which passes through
this part of Iowa, that will bring lumber
for building and fencing as cheap as it is
in Wisconsin. D.

Board of Supervisors.

It makes very little difference now
whether the people wished a change in the
system of county government or not; the
legislature in its wisdom has thought prop
er to again try the old system of chairmen
of town boards composing the county
board of supervisors, and the Governor
has signed the law and it is now in force.
Besides the chairman Of each town board,
there is to be member from each incor-
porated village and from each ward OF
city; the board in this county will conse-
quently consist of sixteen members. 1t is
very probable that at the next session OF
the legislature, if the law is not again re-
pealed, bill will be passed charging the
duties Of the board and giving them
charge of most of the local legislation. 1T
most certainly should be done, as they are
much more capable of Judging Of the needs
Of their particular locality than the State
legislature, and it would tend greatly to
shorten the legislative sessions, as most of
the time is occupied on local matters,
which could much better be attended to in
the counties interested.
I'VE urge upon the republicans of the
several towns in the county to attend to
this matter and see that .heir best men
are elected to fill the more than. ever i'm
portant office of chairman of the board Of
supervisors.
