IMMIGRATIoH.-The "leading" papers
Of the State california are all bowling
for more liberal immigration. They all
seem to think that the great panacea for
all the wantsof California is to be found
in larger immigration. But the most
careless observer must be aware that CAL
ifornia and especially San Francisco is
now full of unemployed persons. We do
not need an increased immigration of per-
sons in quest of employment, the worse it
is for that very large portion Of our own
population who are vainly seeking for
work which they can do on such terms
as will enable them to make decent
living. The undisguised and undisguis-
able fact is, that under the existing con-
difion Of things California has quite as
large a population of men who expect 70
earn living by. work as she needs. Ihere
does not in truth seem to be enough hon
est work to do for the honest WORKERS

The Bounty Lands.

AS there are quite number of citi-
zens of this county who have served as
soldiers, at various times, under the u. S.
Government, who will be glad of any in
formation touching their rights to bounty
land, bounty money, etc., we take the
earliest opportunity to give all the iu-
formation on the subject which we have
at hand. B. +. Dowell, Esq, of the
Sentinel, who is now in Washington City,
writes to his paper that "there has been
no change of the law of March 8, 1855 /;
that act applies to soldiers who have
served and been paid by the United
States prior to the passage of the act,
which was March 3, 1850" The. article
further recites:
Under this law the volunteers who served un-
der Captain Walker and Captain Oluey in 1854,
although the service rendered prior to the act,
nasmuch appropriation was made for their
payment prior to the Sd of March, 1855, are not
entitled to land warrants for such service under
the existing laws, although by The recent act Of
Congress they are entitled to pay for their serv-
ices.
By the act of July Is, 1870, the right 10 homo
Stead 16o acres of the government reserved lands
along the railway lines Is secured to every soldier
who served under the United States government
for ninety days more during the rebellion.
The provision of the homestead law in regard to
settlement and cultivation apply the same to these
as to any other homesteads. There land
warrants for such services, the parties avaiing
themselves Of the provisions of the act, acquiring
their titles in the same manner as other home
stead settlers. A
By act approved Feb. IA, 1877, any one of
the old revolutionary soldiers, who served 90 days
in the war of 1872, which ended December a.
1914, and has not yet received pension, is enti-
tied to So per month. IF they are already in re-
cept of pension only much will make up
the SS per month in all will be allowed Tho
widows of such who married to them prior to
December "a. 1914, and have not since re-mar-
ried, entitled TO the same benefits theis hus
bands would be if living. Where soldiers enlisted
during the rebellion for three years during the
war, and only served two full years and portion
over, and have received 500 bounty, they are not
entitled to any more.
These are all the laws and provisions of laws
that apply to cases within our knowledge in this
country.

THE QUEEN or .-gueen
Augusta is known by her most Ultimate
associates, to be most amoitioas woman.
She Is not wanting in any clement of true
womanhood. Her devotion as wife and
mother is appreciated by her family,
while her deeds of kindness and charity,
render her deservedly beloved and popu-
lar. But with these sterling home quail
tiles che combines large knowledee of
men and politics, and takes deep iatcr-
est in all that relates to literature apdart.
Her Majesty is daughter Of the famous
Duke, who was q munifcent friend and
patron Of Goethe, and in her youth came
much in contact with the illustrous au-
thor; and her character, in noislight de-
gree, was influenced, if not modelled, by
him. With. these antecedcnts and quali-
fications, she could hardly fail to take q
deep interest in the great events of which
her cause has been for SO many years the
centre.

We recollcct that he is a member of that

As he got large majority in his own

to act as Post master at little way-side

tor at that time. The Democracy. Of
Umatilla have queer notions, one OF
which is, that man requires more abili-
ty to act as Postmaster in their county,
than he does to be State Senator.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC JUDGE ON A
RELIGIous QuEsT1oN.-Thc San Fran
cisco Chronicles London correspondent
recites the following particulars Of case
recently brought before Catholic Judge
Lord Chancellor o. Hagan, which created
considerable comment in the s.old coun-
try" The points in the case and the
Judges decision are thus given:
In September, 1859, r. W. Meade, Protestant,
married Catholic lady, with the understanding
both before and at the time of the marriage. that
if daughters were born they should be educated as
Roman Catholics. Two girls were born, ono in
1850, another in 1861, ana were brought up in the
religion agreed upon until the death of their
mother, which took place in October, 1867. The
sister of Mrs. Meade then took charge of the chill
dren, residing in the house, and everything went
on before until March, 1870, when Mr.. Meade,
then about to contract second marriage, and ig-
nor.ng altogether the solemn promise made to the
mother Of his oUkdren, declared his intention of
having them educated Protestants. Two day >
after this avowal the children were placed under
the charge of Portestant, their aunt engagin g
to interfere while she remained in the house.
This went on until the end Of the year, when the
Lord Chancellor applied to by the aunt, and
the allegation made that the children were at
heart Roman Catholics, and properly ought to be
again placed with the petitioner, who was ready to
provide for tht m in mapner befittng their sta
tion. The question to be settled was, whether or
not, the children being Roman Catholics, it was
the duty of the Court to prevent their being in
fuenced by their father, he being of different
religion. 1t was also alleged that they had only
complied '.outwardly' with the desire of their
father relative to their instruction in Protestant
ism, curing the months they were not under the
charge Of their aunt. The children were exam
| ined, notw outstanding their extreme youth, to
what their own ideas might be on the subject OF
religion, and the claest declared she uld not at
ma k<e III v 81 Wu. uDB1
ut the same time, remarking that her faith in
Catholicism was somewhat shaken. 1t must have
been rather amusing to hear girl of ten years
holding forth after this fashion, and reminds one
of the good child in the Sabbath school books,
who always died young and went straight to
Heaven. This precious little girl, moreover, said
she would not object to continue to to the Prot
estant church, was it against her conscience to
| attend the school, Her sister agreed with her,
and after some discussion other points the PEE
tition dismissed.

SroRM.-The Lewisburg Chror'cle
condenses the account of the storm along
the West Branch on Sabbath a week, as
follows:
From the Slasdard and Muncy La-
mixary we gather the following particu
lars 10 regard to the hail storm, of Sun
day afternoon last: During the storm the
electric fluid played actively, to the terror
of the inhabitants. The dwelling of John
Du Bois. in Willamsport, was struck
and a branch of the same current sever
ed the lightning rod from the cupola of the
Washington School House. The resi-
dences of VIM. Ieechman and W. S.
Allen were slightly injured, and few
surrounding dwellings were Influenced.
Gottfried Marks house received bolt
from the eide, which, running along the
floor, prostrated a man named John
Smith, who it was for some time feared
was seriously hurt, but found to De not
so badly injured. Other houses were
scraped and riven at different places. In
some localities the window panes were
demolished by Who'll sale. At Montours-
vile, and from that locality to Muncy,
the storm was destructive beyond pre-
cedent-a fearful tornado. The people
in and adjoining Montoursville. estimate
their loss at $50 600. At Muncy and
vicinity the destruction of window glass
was quite heavy, and fruit Of all kinds,
particularly the grapes.) and the corn
and garden vegetables suffered terribly.
The tomato vines and other vegetables
will scarcely recover the damage sus-
tanned. The corn and oats, in the track
of the storm, were literally torn to pieces
and cannot recover from the effects of
the injury received. Below Muncy
Hills the storm was still more severe
than at mnncy, many of the hail stones
being half the size of hens egg. The
roofs of houses and barns were cut
through, corn was cut off close to the
ground, and the oats utterly destroyed
