4 CHANGE Pi.orOssD II ruE riasEc LAW

Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, has
introduced a bill in the L. S. Senate
which materially modifies tho timber
planting law now in force. 1t provides
that any person, who is a citizen of the
United States, or who has declared his
intention to become one, planting thirty
acres shall be entitled to $50 acres at the
end of eight years-ins:eai of forty &C.
res and ten years, As It is under the pres
ent law. Fifteen acres must be broken
the first year, and the other fifteen by
the end of the ssconi year; and fifteen
acres mus. be planted by the end of the
second year, and the other fifteen by the
end Of the third year. The trees must
be taken care Of eight years, anl three
years are allowed to prove up. Tie
proposed &C: also provides that legal sui
divisions of less ,haa l60 acres may be
planted, the trees not to cover less than
three sixtecnths. In al! planting the
trees must not be more than twelve feet
apart. Homestead entries are lett as
under the present act" These points
we get from the Lawrence Journal. This
timber question is OF much more impor-
lance 10 Kansas people than any other
which is Liable to be considered by Con-
gross, and il the members understood
b
fully its importance they would, meyer
rest until the timber law was perfect in
all respects and contained the most mag
naninaaHs provisions. Every cncour-
asem@t they can give TO the settlers
upon the almost treciess plains is de-
manded, and part Of our public do
main may thus be made to yield wealth
which it does not at present possess.
Many Of the soi,l.Is have avail
cd themselves of Tie provisions already
made ty the presen, law, but many moro
will take advantage Of it il it is
modified as proposed. Ii is ono OF the
paramount, duties, Of each member Of
our present congrcssioaa, delegation, as
we'll rs all future dele. atoms, TO work
hard and earnestly for securing that
which will rosul; in helping Kansas oat
on the tree question, and the nam tina,

poor, and when the President found that
Nellie, who, in point Of self will is really a
chip off the old block would not take no for
an answer, it was decided that when married
they should reside in this country The
death of an elder Brother however changed
matters by leaving Algernon the sole heir to
property yielding an income Of 100000 a
year, and necessity that he should reside in
England. 1t was then thought to forego the
match, but Nellie proved true to her faith
and on Thursday last the happy pair were
made one within the walls of the White
House. On Saturday they left in the Steam

land Mr.. Sartoris is said to be very
sensible young man, and is the nephew of
Fannie Kemble Butler, once celebrated in
histrionic circles and more recently as the
wife of the late eccentric Prince Butler of
Philadelphia The best wishes of our whole
people follow Nellie to her new home We
might fill our columns with jenkinsisms
touching the affair, but such is neither our
forte nor desire.

1t was announced that the Crane
Lodge of the United States would NEE
in Philadelphia in 1876, the Centen nia
year, when it was resolved to have /;
general parade of the order. A resolu
ton was adopted recommending the sub
ordinate lodges to levy tax to create ;
fund for the erection of grand templ'
of the order, which is to be on Broac
street. This matter has been talked o
for several years, but no definite plan
have as yet been adopted. The temple
tax recommended by the Grand Lodge il
two cents week upon each member
which, small as it seems, would soor
make considerable sum, enough to pa,
for the lot in a year or SO.
The next annual session Of the Crane
Lodge will be held at Williamsport.

BEAR KILLED--On Sunday afternoon the

in the woods of Simon Myers, in Smithfeld
township. His appearance was the signal
for general uprising of the citizens who
Immediately started in hot pursuit of his

implements of war After an exciting chase
of several miles he was finally overtaken on
the farm of David Nye, where he was rem

When dressed he weighed nearly 300 pounds

The fashionable world has been set all
agap by the marriage of Miss Nellie w.
Grant to Mr.. Algernon Charles Frederick
Sartoris. The event has not been unexpec-
ted for some months, but nevertheless it fell
like thunder clap even where it was most
expected We believe it is the first time
within the history of the White House that
a son or daughter of the President has
been married within its walls, and for this if
for nothing else, it marks an epoch in the
passage of times and seasons. For another
reason too it is worthy of note. 1t is a real,
genuine love match, if not a genuine case of
love at first sight Nellie never saw her
lord, nor he her, until on her last passage
from Europe home. 1t was then that the
tickle God touched two susceptible hearts and
soon made them beat as one, and so harmon
iously did they beat together that the conyen-
tionally "cruel parents" could not find it in
their hearts to say nay to what was evidently
fore-ordained. At the time of their engage

been determined to plant living rose bush
on each deceased soldiers grave 1t is moi
too late to do this here even this season.
Rose bushes generally are full of thrifty slip:
which grow readily if properly transplanted

our deceased soldiers. They fought, bled,
and died for the preservation Of the glorious

AS SO many of our young ladies are ambi

and as they are some times doubtless at loss
to know just what the fashions really are,
We append the following for their benefit.

AMONG the records of crime and crimes
rewarded, we find the fact mentioned that on
the 2lst inst, at Seymour, Indiana two men
named Fleetwood brothers, were convicted
of the murder of little German boy, year
ago, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for
life From the evidence it appeared that
they enticed the child into field, beat out
his brains with clubs, cut his throat and
threw his body into creek. The object OF
the murder was the robbing of the child Of
the paltry sum of t,oo dollars. On general
principles we are opposed to capital punish
ment, but for such crime as this we sec nc
use of bothering the Court. The most ap.
proved plan of torture invented by Indian
ingenuity, would be the best possible reward
for such diaboical criminals.

THE Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company,

night at all their pudding furnaces, rolling

of tons of rails and other products of their
works, for which they cannot find sale.
