Northern Pacific Railroad,

Aho EtOekhciders OF the n Orthern
Paci4c. Railroad Company had q
most satisfactory surprise at their
recent meeting, in that, instead of
being confronted by directorial
scheme to raise money to build and
equip the company's branch to coal,
they were met with a resolution
adopted the day previous, that the
revenues Of the road had SO increas-
| ed, AID were SO increasing, as tc
suffice for the completion of the
branch, and to make resort to a
mortgage unnecessary.
Tie reorganized Northern Pacific
Railroad Company has astoniehing
life and promise. 1t has, within
four months, completed Ct rs7Ioe &C
road to an elcven-fest vein Of the
best bituninous coal, for which the
Pacific coast market is waiting,
ready to take all that can be mined.
Both divisions of the road earn 3
surplus; largely increased area Of
its lands have been put into ono. l
spring" wheat, and the promise of
traffic from this source this year is
great. The country on the line of
the road in Minnesota and Dakota
is rapidly settling with farmers.
The road and it's rolling stock are in
Grst-olass condition; it's transporta-
ton for account Of the military and

THE GREAT WHl> y TIRLD AND
IT'S PRoFITs. T. @. Henry
wheat field, in Dickinson county,
Kansas, on the line of the Kansas
Pacific Railway, embracing 1900
returned him a clear profit of $751;
97A.Oo.. The total yield was 26,-
$40 bushels, or an average of 223
bushels per acre, which he sold at
Sl.059 per acre. Seven hundred
acres CT this field was first ploughed
in the fall of 1874, and sowed in
winter wheat, together with five
hundred acres which were in wheat
the previous year. Mr.. Henry does
not profess to be practical farmer,
nor does he reside on his land. In
the months of May and June he had
the wild land ploughed or broken,
as it is usually termed. by contract,
and the planting, harvesting and
threshing also by contract, and the
foregoing is his own statement OF
the profits. Mr.. Henry, having now
learned the way to speedy fortune,
has put in this fall larger acreage
of wheat than heretofore, and all
the people around him are following
his example. The lands of this
Company are not surpassed any
where for wheat growing and other
small grains, and they e-aiy cost
so.OUo to 5000 per acre on long
credit terms.
. This year Mr. Henry has l,7oC
acres of wheat, instead Of 1900
acre and the prospects for a heavy
crop are unsurpassed.

Excitement I'm Nova Scotia.

TORONTO, February pa special
from Halifax says the question OF pre-,
cedence having arisen between certain
Queens counsel all affidavit was read in
tho Supreme Court Saturday, setting
forth that the seal attached to the com
mission OF the Queens counsel appointed
by the local government was not the
great seal tthe province, but the old seal
returned by the empiral gov
eminent in 1869, The Premier of the
local government admitted that the
government had been using the old
seal. The court expressed great astonish-
ment ut such contempt for Her Majesty's
authority, and expressed an opinion and
said all acts requiring the great seal,
done since 1860, we're totally void. This
state of affairs leaves Nova Scotia with.
out parliament and without govern
ment, with all grants of marriage license,
and consequently marriages, and ali COM
missions since 1869 are totally void.
Great excitement prevails in consequence.
The Chief Justice after intimsting That
it would require imperial legislation to
rectify the matter, adjourned court for
ten days for full inquiry.
