TTNHTS is the common neghborhood designation
of a tract of land lying in the Western part OF
Hillsboro' county, Florida 1t consists OF about
1900 ACRES,
of as rich land as can be found in any country; and
with moderate expense of ditching would make a
Sugar farm yielding yearly revenue that would be
an independent fortune. As agent for parties con-
cerned am authorized to offer this land at the very
low price of
ONE DOLLAR PER ACRE.
1t has natural outlet through which it may be
drained, and sufficient fall to dry it and render it fit
for cultivation In addition to its intrinsic value
from its natural fertility it has the advantage OF
lying conveniently near to good navigation on lam
pa Bay.
Will not some one or more persons take the offer
made? Any communication asking further infor-
nation addressed to Rev. JOSEPH BRowN, Clear
Water Harbor, Hillsboro' county, Florida will re-
ceive prompt attention. There are other smaller
tracts of these lands which it may be would suit
persons of smaller capital These can sell at the
same rate.

Fossil, ElephanIs En Alaska.

1t has been generally supposed by
scientific men that the fossil elephant OF
Siberia had no representative in the same
latitude on this continent Recent ex-
sminatious on the Yukon river in Alaska,
however, have established the fact that
the remains are even more plentiful on
the west than on the east side of the
North Pacific. Enormous quantities Of
bones are found, and a supply Of ivory
sufficient to last the world for centuries.
The valleys Of all the streams and all
the low grounds are filed with bones and
,usks, SO that every vessel now arriving
from these remote possessions has part OF
its cargo made up Of these new found
remains. The elephant. whose range
was formerly almost universal, is now
confined to a small portion of Africa and
Asia, aud it would seem as if the species
was in process Of slow extinction
Neither Europe nor America, which
once swarmed with them, has now either
a climate or vegetation fitted to their ex
isteuce. Their remains, however, are
likely TO give Alaska a value not pre-
vieusly suspected.

The winters Lesson.

At length we hear from Texas that
our long, cold winter has been hard on
her vast herds as well as those farther
north. The season has been dry as well
as cold; the prairies are bare of grass;
and the cattle are dying by tens of thou
sands. Whoever would buy hides cheap
will doubtless find them IN Texas about
these days. We estimate the total loss
at one million, while those that survive
will be gaunt aud feeble, with their call
yes barely able to stand up.
Henry Bergh is needed in all our
great Western pasture ground. This
covering the land with herds that are
never fed, letting them take their chance
of living or dying whenever feed Is
short, is at once wasteful and cruel
Any great cattle grower might have
fenced (by ditchiug, if not othorwise) a
few hundred acres a year ago, moved
and stacked the wild bay, and saved
herewith thousands of the cattle thai
have since starved 10 death. Now tha
the steed is stolen, shall there not be a
last bolt on the stable door ?-N. !
