DEPRECIATION OF FARMING LANDS. - The

said to have deprecated fully one-third In
price since the panic Lands that were sold at
SIS per acre In Washington county, Pa or Bel
mont county, Ohio, are now selling at about
$50, and at forced sales have gone as low as $40
The lower-pr1ced landS-thOse that formerly
sold at $5o-have deprecated still more, and
have been sold at SIS. Rough land, formerly
worth $50, has not been salable at any price,

measure OF land value, viz: cheap transporta-

foul play are entertained. He left
this city on October 6, with a through

amount of money. Two days later

Interested themselves in the matter,

and in no way resembling Blake, called
for the money. Suspicious We're
aroused and the man was arrested.
He finally acknowledged that he was
an impostor. President Porter has
telegraphed to various leading points
on the line to San Francisco, but has
