ers for the County of Cnmberland.

To the Honorable the COunty Commission
crs for the County of Cumberland.
FEVHE undersigned, citizens of Cumberland county,
IL respectfully represent that the Indexes of the
Records in the Cumberland Registry of Deeds are
very unsatisfactory in their arrangement and general
conditions that they are erroneous in the matter of
entries; of the books much worn and soled,
requiring immediate rewriting while others very
obscurey written and liable to lead to error and the
method of indexing formerly in is entirely made
quate to the demands of extensive records, thus
making the work of searching extremely laborious
and unreasonably inconvenient
We further represent that Mr.. E. Leach has UNDER
taken and partially completed strictly Alphabet
cal Index to the whole series of Records from the
date of the incorporation of the county in 1760 to the
present time; and that said Index when completed,
is calculated to much labor and expense in the
consultation of the records to expedite the transac
ton of business and to add greatly to Inconvenience
of the public. ea sl-1t
We therefore respectfully request the Commission
ers to examine the work of Mr. Leach, and to ascer
tain his price for the same and if satisfied of the in
creased advantages possessed by MI. Leach's index
to purchase the same if it be obtained for
sonable sum- and to it to be completed for the
use of the public
We also request you to name place and an early
time for a hearing of your petitioners.

Of 2O5 persons. They have been studying to
effect the greatest possible economy in all
domestic arrangements for twenty-five
years. Everything is done by machinery
as far as possible, and all who have visited
them agree that their cooking is exquisite.
A maryelously small outlay of hand labor
does the washing, ironing, and all the
heavy work Of the household. The
result is that the members have time for
study and improvement and rational enjoy
ment. Several thousand visitors have been
at the association during the past year,
some of them distinguished strangers from
Europe. All express their wonder and adj
miration at the progress which the COM
,nunity has made. They have done SO
much by using labor-saving machinery and
cooperation inwork. They have just beer

COLONIZATION OF THE cot OkED
POPULATION.

The Enquire Of yesterday replies very
sensibly and appropriately to the Norfolk
Journal:
The Norfolk Journal makes Il curious argu-
ment In favor of negro emigration TO Africa, up
on the occasion of a ship load leaving New York
Tor Liberia, when ii says 1t Is not unnatural
that there should be q yearning in the hearts OF
these people, as there has always been and al
ways win be, in the hearts of every people, TO
live and die in the natal land of their fathers"
The same argument might apply to every
white man in America. We can only speak Tor
ourselves, and certainly we feel no inclination to
return 10 the natal land OF our fathers 10
die, Our own native land is good enough for us
either to live OF die in, and we suspect our fel-
low-countrynen of African descent are not very
different from us in feeling. We think it about
time This nonsense about colonizing Africa was
stopped We can't afford to lose labor of any
Kind until we Lave o better prospect of getting
a better quality to replace It, All going out and
