! UNPATESrED LANps.-Among the general
! laws passed by the last Legislature and apprev
| ed by the Governor, says the State Journal, ia
| the following, which is of Importance to all
| owners of unpatented lands.
We understand that efforts we're made to
modify its provisions, but without success,
! from which it is evident that it is the policy
OF the State to have this long unsettled bust
ness closed up as speedily possible, and this
! is coumendable since not only the inter ests of
! the State, but the security of purchasers of
real estate, whose titles may be affected there
! by, requires it:
| Be it enacted, &c, That the board of proper
ty shall have full and discretionary power as to
the time of entering suits, and the number
| thereof, TO be brought for the collection of
| liens against unpatented lands, and the Attor-
ney General shall proceed under the seventh
| section of the said act, to which this is fur
! ther supplement-, when authorized to do so by
the said board Provided, That no interest shall
! be charged on patent or other fees.
To RAILROAD TRAvELERs.-The following
rules OF the road" are based upon legal decis-
| ions. and ought to be universally known The

! gers are bound to observe decorum in the cars,
| and ara obliged to comply with all reasonable

and any article left in the seat lille the owner

Music GIVEN AwAY.-Popular songs follow
| one another closely. While the sweet strains
| of Put Ne In My Little Bedr are being heard
1 in mansion and cottage all over the land its
| authors send forth ''SdUe the Boyr' which will
! probably become equally popular. 1t is pub
| contains the beautiful new Cherry irdVGltz,"

all of this music, the FOLIO contains fine full
