Extraordinary Real Estate Operations

For the purpose OF aiding the construc-
ton of rhe Burlington and Missouri rail
road, Congress many years ago donated to
the eompaay every alternate section OF pub
lie land living for ten miles on each side OF
the line When the company came to make
its choice of land it was discovered that the
Burlington and Missouri road through the
State of Nebraska Tapped SO close upon the
Union Pacifc that a selection could not be
made without trespassing on the domain OF
the latter corporation. The matter was
laid before Harlan, then Secretary Of the
Interior, and that pious gentleman directed
the Burlington and Missouri to select
enough land anywhere else il the State Of
Nebraska to make up the deficiency. They
accordingly made their surveys for mil
lion acres and Harlan issued patents for
the same.
Some time after this proceeding Harlan
was succeeded as Secretary OF the Interior
by General Cox, of Ouio, who, On learning
Of his predecessors extraordinary gen
erosity. promptly revoked the patents for
the million acres; and from thatsperiod un-
til a recent date the BurGn gton and Mis-
souri people have been laboring TO get
back the land. and finally, few weeks
ago, Secretary Delano issued the patents to
them This act Of the secretary has
aroused great indignation in Nebraska,
and to-day Congressman Pratt, OF Iowa,
introduced bill in the House for res
roretion Of the lands. entitled "A bill to
protect the interests Of the United States
in certain public lands The land which
Secretary DelaIo proposes 10 give away TO
the Burlington and Missouri railroad is
worth at a low estimate $1,000, ,00e.-St

Through gentleman from the hills. we
learn that a man by the name of Crawford
was assassinsted one day last week. The
facts. as near as we can get them. are as
follows: 1t appears thu the deceased and
a man by the name of Alex Tillery were
engaged in making a crop together, but
finding they could not agree, Tillery sold
his interest to Crawford. with the view of
going to Texas. Bad blood had existed be-
tween them for some time on account of an
intimacy that Tillery supposed to exist be-
tween Crawford and his family, but
whether the grounds for suspicion were
good we have not been able to learn, but
understand that Til!ery was frequently
heard TO remark that when he got ready to
leave the country he would have satisfac-
ton. So one day last week Tillery took his
gun and went in the direction of the field
where Crawford was at work, and where
he was afterwa"d found dead. Upon exam
ination it was found that Crawford had
been shot twice, and the supposition is that
Tillery is the murderer, as he has not been
seen in the neighborhood since. 1t is to be
hoped the cowardly assassin may yet he
ov vertaken and brought to justice.-Lake

Loss of the Ship st. Paul, of New York

Loss of the Ship st. Paul, of New York.
Captain Isaac Call, late master of the
ship St. Paul, arrived in this city yesterday
from the mouth of the Tobasco river,
Mexico, and makes the following report:
On the morning Of the twentysecond OF
May, while changing his anchorage, he
was struck aback by heavy squall, which
lasted for several hours, blowing directly
on shore, obliging him to let 60 both an
chors Before the gale had reached its
height the ship Parted both chains and
went high and dry upon the beach.
There being no communication within
reasonable length OF time between that
point and New York, and no possibility Of
getting the ship off, she was sold to the
highest bidder for the benefit of all con
cerned.
The St. Paul was a ship of 1900 tons
measurement, thirteen years old, and val
ued at $4,000. She was owned in New
York by Messrs. Benner & Pinckney. She
was from Liverpool, bound 70 New Orleans,
via Key West from which port che was or
derec to Tobasco river to load with mahog-
any for Europe.
As there has been no previous report OF
this loss, and Captain Call not hearing from
the owners of his ship. proves most conclu-
sively that his dispatches, which were
promptly sent, have never been received.

Speeches were made by Messrs. Smith, of
New York, chairman of the committee for
the majority; Sypher, of Louisiana, for
Piuchback, and Sheridan for himself. The
latter is a short, thick-set, fiorid yeung IL an
with an immense lingual capacity, and used

self. and will not be admitted when the

Departure Of the Rev. MIR. Deere.

The Rev. George H. Deere, having re-
signed the pastorate Of the Church OF the
Messiah, the first and only Unitarian
society in New Orleans, leaves this morn
ing on a steamship for New York.
For nearly three years Mr.. Deere has
labored zealously, faithfully and ably in
his high calling, setting forth Sunday at
ter Sunday in impressive and elegant dis
courses the lofty views OF Gods provi-
dence and Christ's teac hings held by the
denomination to which he belongs, and on
week days attending to those pastoral du-

quite as efectually as the best preaching.
During this period he has made many
warm personal friends, not only among
members of his congregation, but outside
of it, all of whom regret his departure
His amiable wife has likewise done her
share toward promoting the welfare of the
society by every means in her power, but
especially by her untiring devotion to the
Sunday school, that nursery OF the
church. To both We say good-by.
