Report of the Commissioners of
the General Land Office.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE an
nual report of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office has been handed to
the Secretary of the Interior, and shows
that during the fiscal year ending June
so, last. 1888, ,353 acres OF public lands
were disposed of, and 9,4S4,995 acres
were surveyed in addition to the 7S4,-
SOL ,236 acres previously surveyed. The
total number of acres OF the public do
main still unsurveyed is about l,0Sl,-
100000 acres. The disposals were mainly
as follows: Homestead entries, $780,
Ill acres; timber culture entries, >, ,766.-
574 acres; cash entries, 522 40 acres, in
Guiding los, 1916 acres entered under the
desert land law; grants to railroads
27S,334 acres; swamp lands patented to
States, 75,3SS acres; other grants TO
States, lS6. .392 acres. The amount OF
land surveyed the last fiscal year ex-
ceeds 4l4,769 acres the total area sur
veyed in the preceding twelve months,
and while the report shows a falling of
of $4,000 acres in cash sales, State
selections, scrip locations and lands
patented for railroad grants, the in
crease in the area taken up by set
tiers under the homestead and tim
Der culture laws has been sufficient
not only to counterbalance this falling
oil, but TO make the aggregate disposals
for the year greater by 647,2Oi acres
than the total for the previous year;
the increase in homestead entries S4l,-
766 acres, aud in timber culture entries
S96, l39 acres, owing to the existing
laws for the disposal of public lands for
homestead and timber culture. Ii is
shown that during the last fiscal year,
with the large disposal of land, there
were received from all sources 81, ,SSi,l lib,
less bv SlS9,4 ,4lS than the amount re-
ceived during the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1878.

A CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
aroused on Fishing Creek, few miles
back from the river, by the simultan-
eous disappearance OF John Herrigan
and Lizzie Waters-both married. They
have been suspected of being too init.

THE line of the S. V. X. r. to Fishers

town, Jefferson county, and connecting
with roads at Hagerstown, Md. The
track has been laid to within less than
a mile of Riverton, and it is expected to
have the bridge up and cross the river
at that point within three or four weeks.
LAST week, as Congressman kenna
was riding along New river, on his way
to Mercer county, he discovered two
colored men fording the stream with an
ancient mule and more antique horse
attached to an alleged wagon. Suddenly
the wagon-bOx tioated off with one of the
passengers, the other having mounted
the horse, which, after desperate efforts,
succeeded in reaching the shore, pulling
the mules and wagon wheels after him.
The box foated down stream with
the other negro, on his knees praying
for dear life, but making no attempt TO
save himself. Seeing that he was likely
to be drowned, Mr.. Kenna plunged in
and pulled the box and frightened occu-
pant ashore. The darkey dropped on
his knees and said "Oh, good Massa
Kenna, what can do for your" "Noth-

ance of your life" Fore God" replied
the happy darkey, "I'll do it shuah, and
