New Bounty Bill.-A bounty bill has
been recently passed by Congress and ap-
proved by the President, the provisions of
which are as follows:
Every officer, soldier or marine, who
served in the war for period exceeding
ninety days, may, in settling upon the pub
lie lands, under the homestead laws, count
the period of his service as a part of the
five years residence required to obtain a
patent to one hundred and sixty acres. Six
months are allowed after the location of
the land, before the residence upon it must
commence. Persons discharged for wounds
or disability may have their whole period
of enlistment counted. In case of the
death of person who would be entitled to
the privileges of the act, his widow if un-
married, or minor children, if the widow
be married or dead, are entitled to its bene-
fits. Any person whom tho bill gives the
right to acquire land may have the same
entered and the required settlement and
residence made by an agent. This is the
most important feature of the bill, for a
comparatively small number of soldiers will
themselves become homestead settlers. The
right to transfer their privileges to an agent
will doubtless be of considerable value to
them.

Who Was Dolly vardens-This is ques.

Who Was Dolly VardeDs-This is ques-
tion which is now frequently asked. Dolly
Warden was one of the characters intro
duced by Dickens in "Barnaby Rudge."
She was represented as the daughter OF
Gabriel Warden a blacksmith, and is sought
in marriage by Sim Tappertit, vain ap-
prentice, and Joe Willett, a very exemplary
young gentleman indeed. Miss Dolly be-
comes Mrs Willett. She is described by
Dickens as possessing face lighted up by
the loveliest pair of sparkling eyes that
ever any lover looked upon; the face of a
pretty laughing girl; dimpled and fresh, and
healthful--the very impersonation of good
humor and blooming beauty. There has
been an unusual variety of articles named
after her, but we think the matter is now
oveidone, as while on recent visit to the
city we saw sign having on it "Dolly
Warden Whisky" and another promising
to supply "Dolly Warden Chewing tobacco" "

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE finds
some of its most nsidous and dangerous foes
in the many so-called "tonics'' and "appetiz-
ers,' made of cheap whisky and refuse liquors,
finished up to suit dcpraved appetites, under
the name of medicines. DR.. Walkers Calfor-
mia Vinegar Bitters are none of these. They
are not a beverage, but genuine medicine,
purely vegetable, prepared from California
herbs by regular physician. For all diseas-
es of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bladder, skin
and blood, they are an inialliabe and unrival-
led remedy. 1Sd At

Hunting Them Up.-The Lebanon Stan

Hunting Them Up.-The Lebanon Stan
dard says: GA United States detective
has been for few days past, in town pur
suing his calling with wonderful success.
He has given some places thorough
cleaning up, and what with sweeping down
cob webs and uprooting rubbish piles, has
succeeded in making some startling dis
closures. In the underground regions OF
Mr.. John Smead's brewery he unearthed a
whisky still, with capacity of ten gallons
day, which he Immediately ordered Mr..
Smead to carry to the Collectors office,
where it now lies. There is sufficient evil
dence to prove that the distilling of whis-
ky from malt and refuse beer has been car
riod on for some time, in an illicit way of
course. A few other violations Of the law
of our very intricate internal revenue sys-
tenn, mainly the results Of care!essn ess,
were corrected about town.

An Extraordinary Affair.-The Record
relates the following strange incident: On
the 10th inst, about the time the people in
attendance at the burial of William Walter,
at Parkersville, were separating, Thomas
Hannum, of Kennett, on going TO unite his
horses hitched ON the south side of the
Meeting House sheds, found that the grass
under their feet was on fire, and the wind
blowing fresh at the time; it had extended
several yards from the apparent place of
beginning; but the horses showed no sign
Of alarm. A careful examination into the
circumstances induced the belief that one
Of the horses, in paving, had struck a flint
stone with his steel toe, and spark from
that had set FIRE 10 the fine dry grass di-
rectIy under the edge Of the hoof. The
timely discovery and the extinguishment of
the fire was most favorable incident, as
the sheds were filed with horses and quite
"a number tied on tine side when the fire
originated.
