for | cannot believe that Gov. Ferry, who
is good lawyer, and man of known fair
ness and ability, would, after due consider
alton, have approved an act so little. SO
sectional, so unfair, and so opposed to
the comfy that should exist between even
foreign countries, letting alone that true
comfy that ought to exist between and
among the several parts of the same nation.

is with pleasure we record the presentation
of beautiful gold-headed, ebony cane es-
pecially made by Van Beurden of Portland,
and written address splendidly mounted
in walnut and gold frame, by the students
of Holy Angels College, to the genial, good
Father Schram. Such an act deserves more
than passing mention, but as the truly
praisewortty proceedings passed off only a
few hours ago, and we have not the full
particulars we shall have to postpone any
further notice until next issue, our columns
being already filed.

EARNED LANDs.-The n. p r. R. Co

acres of the northeast corner of Clarke

airy of the county, crosses this line, but this
is unsurveyed and is mountainous and prac-
tically inaccessible.
