Forest Planting.

Congress at It's late session improved

provides that if any person shall plant

the trees thereon not being more than eight
feet apart each way, in any quarter section
Of any Of the public lands Of The United
States, he shall be entitled to patent for
the whole Of said quarter section. The
necessary regulations for eatry upon such
land are provided, and for securing its res.

also provides that any settler under the
homestead act, who at the end Of the third
year Of his residence, shall have had under
cultivation for two years. one acre Of trees

would be equal to one.tenth Of a quarter

homestead This is deduction Of two

The purposes Of this act are certainly
most excellent, and as a subsidy the regua.

doing; but as many would fail of seeing the

this extra inducement may in thousands Of

chance to acquire more than quarter

For The Watehm-n
Railroad Meeting at Irasburgh.

At a moss meeting Of those interested 81 IN

Troy ria Black River Valley, held az lrasburgh,
March 9oth, Hon E. r. C1Lrov. Of lrlsbureh,
vas elected chairman, and B. + PAINE. Of Low
ell, chosen Secretary
Mr. Cotton opened the meeting with brief
speech, showing the Importance Of this enter
prise to the people ol Northern ani Ceu,ral
Vermont, and advocated prompt and generous
action in the matter, which was all that was
needed to insure to them the early consumma-
tion OF this enterprise. Gen Thomas, from
Montpelier, being called upon, alluded to the
projected lines from Montpelier. and showed to
the meeting the Importance u this central link,
r'd Black River Valley, forming almost an air
line from Quebec to New York. Ills remarks
were listened to with close attention, and gave
evident satisfaction. Others along the line
followed with enthusiastic speeches, and pledg.
ed the hearty co operation Of their people in
aid OF the proposed rOad
resolution was offered by j. f. Dow, Of
Albany, as follows
Rcsolred, that when this contemplated rail
road shall be built, it shall be no other than
the standard gauge, that is north Of the Port
land Ogdensburgh Railroad.
Considerable discussion 70 lowed, an it see1-
cd to be tho purpose of the Hardwick and
Craltsbury delegations to force this resolution
to vote, before any investigation or discus.
sion could be had.
Mr.. Thompson, of lrasburgh, made square
and manly speech in favor Of laying the reso-
luton upon the table, saying that, 10 his opin-
ion, the resolution was premature and uncau.
ed for at that time, as the people were not in.
formed fully as to the respective merits of the
two systems, and isasmuch as Montpelier
was not represented by any of its capitalists
in the meeting it was not fair or just to them
and Others along the line to press this matter
without further reflection.
The resolution was, however, adopted by
small majority, after which il was voted to in
struct the commissioners to call convention
oil Orleans County, to get the sentiment Of
that section, as to which route should be adopt

1t will probably be new to many of
our readers that Michigan and New York
have "limited divorce" laws. The New
York statute says that separation from
bed and board forever or for limited pc.
riod, may be decreel by the Supreme Court
on the complaint Of married woman" As
an illustration Of the working Of this act, it
is state ! that certain wel-1nown Judge,
in divorce su ,, made decree that the
husband and wife sloud live separate for
two years, the wife to have the custody of
their only child in the meantime. lie adj.
vised them to consider the matter, and see
II they could live together again as hus.
band and wife. He thought separation
during two years would satisfy the husband
the best thing he could do would be to
treat his wife kindly and properly, and not
cruelty and inhumaply, Before the end Of
the two years the old love revived they
iorgave each other, and are now living hap.
PLY together. The same judge relates that,
while praetieing law, he obtained an abso.
lute divorce for wife from her husband
tut that they remarked each other within
ninety days FROM the time the wife obtain.
cd her divorce, and thereafter lived happily
as husband and wife many years, until tn
wife died.

Back Pay.

The Albany Journal, IN connection with
the remarkable retroactive salary steal per-
petrated by the last Congress, recalls a
somewhat similar affair in lS45. The
regular session lasted up to and including
the Cd of March. On the 4tb, IN accord.
ance with custom, the President called an
extra executive session Of the Senate. The
Senators claimed that as ono session had
expired and another commenced they were
presumed by the law to have returned to
their homes between the two, though 1t hal
been in reality impossible for them to do So
The Vice President declared the point we'll
tlken, and the Senators we're therefore lc.
gally entitled to draw mileage for a journey
they had not taken. The journal tells the
result:
"What ought the Senators to do? The qucs.
ton was raised then as now. IL was proposed
that they should enter into nm agreement among
themselves not to take this constructive mile
nge rhirty-sx Senators-eightec Democrats,
under the lead Of Tom Benton, and eighteen

II is needless to say that Senator Dix, Of New
York, was one of the first to suggest and one oil
tie first 10 join the movement. Four years
later in 1919, when, at the end Of his term, he
came 10 settle his accounts with the Sergeant

wish to draw his mileage for the extra session
