Troubles of Homestead settlers.

Adiutant General Baker, of Iowa,
writes to Commissioner Burdett, of the
General Land Office, representing that
there is great suffering among the home
stead settlers, in the northern counties OF
the State, owing to the visitation OF the
grasShoppers, and setting forth the hard
ships of requiring the settlers to go some
times so and sometimes 200 miles 10
make the final proof of occupancy ofthcr
farms at the land offices. He suggests
that hereafter local land officers be- re-
quired to visit the county seats on GER
tain days, to take dispositions in order to
save settlers the expense they can i'll AZ
ford. Commissioner Burdctt is disposed
to grant the rcliefAskcd for and is inclined
to rule in this particular case, that the
settlers be allowed, il they prefer 1t, to
make their deposition before the clerk OF
the Court of Records, at the county seat.
