THE SITUATION.

With great anxiety all eyes are still
turned towards the States OF Florida,
South Carolina, and Louisiana, where
the counting of the votes cast at the
late election is to determine who Is to
be President The evidence is accu
mulating daily to prove that, in all the
above-named States, the grossest frauds
were committed by the Democrats. In
some instances they took possession OF
the polls and prevented any Republl
cans from voting. In others, after the
vote was cast, they took possession OF
the ballot-boXes and refused to surren
der them to the canvassers until they
had stuffed them to their satisfaction
with Democratic tickets. But in spite
of these frauds, enough is known tt
prove conclusively that the Republl
cans have carried South Carolina ant
Florida by fair majorities. OF Louisl

The Preservation Of Timber.

The United States House committee
on public lands have before them the bill
of Representative Dunnell for the ap-
pointment of Ia commissioner for inquiry
into the destruction of forests, and into
the measures necessary for the preserva-
ton of timber, it being asserted that the
supply of timber within the United
States is rapidly diminishing, and that
great public injury must result from its
continued waste unless adequate means
are taken for it's preservation and pro-
duction. 1t is proposed to appoint q
man of approved attainments, who is
practically well acquainted with the
methods of statistical inquiry, and who
has evinced an intimate acquaintance
with questions relating to the national
wants in regard to timber, and with the
measures that may be best calculated to
meet these wants as they arrive, to be
commissioner of forestry. 1t is made
the duty of the commissioner, under the
direction of the secretary of the interior,
to prosecute investigations and inquiries
with the view of ascertaining the annual
amount of consumption, importation,
and expectation of timber and other
forest products, the probable supply for
future wants, the means best adaptedfor
their preservation and renewal, the in
fluences of forests upon the climate, and
the measures that have been successful
ly applied in foreign countries, or that
may be deemed applicable in this coun-
try for the preservation and restoration
or the planting of forests, and to report
upon the same to the secretary of the
interior, to. be by him transmitted to
Congress. 81

Another Chance to Subscribe,

A suit has been commenced against
the city of New York by the heirs of
John or Johannes Vermilya, an old
Dutch settler, for the recovery of the
whole of that porto of Manhattan
island bounded by the North and Har-
lem rivers, and extending from seventy
fourth street upward. The heirs of Mr..
Vermilya found their claims to the prop
erty in question on two patents, one of
which was given by the British governor,
Nichols, in 1867, and the other by Gov.
Thomas Dongan in 1856, to John Yer
milya and four other patentees, for SER
vices rendered the British government
in settling and improving theupper por-
ton of Manhattan island. The prop
erty is estimated to be worth at this
time about two hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars. Up to the present date
312 heirs of Mr.. Vermilya have register
ed their claims, but it is believed that
a great many more will be found, as the
name is comparatively common.

Railroads and the Centennial.

We hear, says an exchange, of great
preparations for carrying passengers,
both across the country and ocean, dur
ing this, the centennial year. As stated
in Congress-, it is generally admitted
that the travel will be immense. One of
the lowest estimates for the travel from
California is 10000 people, and from
this up to 100000 The same figures
have been handed us for the to and fro
travel from Europe. for first-class pas
sengers. On the trunk and other lines,
to and from New York and Philadelphia,
it is impossible as yet to make up the
estimate, but it counts into the millions,
and the twenty five per cent. proposed
reduction can we'll be made, In every
way it ought to be good year for bust
ness, not in the excess, extravaganza or
abundance of the olden time. but in a
constant buying and selling of goods. as
well as in constant locomotion over the
country. Much depends upon the spirit
in which the year is entered upon bv
the people. While there should be no
foolish schemes, there ought to be no
lack of public spirit and reasonable con-
fidence. The railroads, at least, are
likely to have enough to do, and the
people will look for reservation Of sus-
pended dividends before the close of the
year.

Sad Incidents.

An Indianapolis paper says: A daugh-
ter of Mr.. William Loucks, seventeen
years old, was taken i'll, and quite early
in the morning she awoke her father
and expressed wish to be taken up in
his arms and held to his heart as he used
to hold her when a little girl. The
father raised his daughter and sat down
by the stove, but hardly had he taken
his seat before her head dropped on his
shoulder and she was dead.
The Troy Wing says that the melan-
choly spectacle Of the funeral of three
children of one family, at the same hour,
was witnessed at Harris Falls. Three
children of Moses Wells died within
twenty-four hours, and were all buried
in the same grave. The remaining child
and Mrs. Wells, who are suffering from
the same disease, are better, and hopes
are entertained Of their recovery.

Unpleasant Passengers.

A French journal states that mer-
chant vessel arrived at Marseilles lately,
laden with sugar, from Batavia. While
I'm the act of unloading the workmen
suddenly left their task, and, rushing up
to the deck, gasped out inarticulate
words. Among the hampers they had
found three immense boa constructors.
These reptiles seemed to wake from a
state of lethargy, and advanced toward
the terrified men, who had ouly just time
to hoist themselves on deck and close
the matches. The captain was, of course,
obliged to suspend the operation of un.
Loading and to look for the means of
ting rid of these strange passengers.
Two pigeons were poisoned with strych-
nine and dropped into the hold. They
were devoured at once, but only two Of
the serpents died. The third reptile has
not been seen again, and it is with the
greatest trouble that the captain can
get men to assist him in unloading.

GATHERING WILD HAY.-The wild hay
gathered from strips of soil on the Alps
is very valuable from its excellent quality
and delicious aroma. This harvest en-
dangers life and limb. The lawmakers
are shod with iron and secured by ropes.
One man can secure a hundred weight
of hay in day, climbing thousands of
feet and bringing it down in net slung
to the shoulder. The hay of the valleys
is insufficient for the maintenance of Al

therefore the herdsman perils his own
