Newburg, n. Y, July 0.-About a
year ago Liss Ida Deyo, of the town of
Gardner, Ulster County, white girl
of respectable family, quaweled with
a negro named John Wesley Sampson,
to whom she had been secretly mar
ried. The event caused much excite
ment at the time as the girls relatives
were wealthy and held high position
in society, she being an adopted
daughter of Mr.. John Deyo, of Gard
ner. The fact that the young lady
was beautiful and accomplished made
her conduct all the more astonishing
to her friends and associates. The
poor girl has bitterly experienced the
folly of her act and is now an inmate
of the Sullivan County Poor House.

Dover Briefly Mentioned.

Last Saturday, a DEMOCRAT re
 porter took passage on Mir. k. H
 Cioman's popular hack line for Do.
 yer, leaving this place at l0:45 a. m.
 and arriving at destination at D. m.,
 without particular incident or mis
 hap. Along the road between the
 two places there is evidence that tue
 farmers made abundant crops of corn
 and cotton, but much of the latter is
 still in the field unpicked. Dover
 is improving and the general air of
 thrift that prevails gives the county
 seat an ar of business activity.
 Several new and substantial houses have been built in the past year, and many of the old ones repaired and repainted. A large steam mill is in operation on the north side of tue town, running day and night, so crowded is it with business. Tins mill grinds wheat and corn, gins cotton, and runs planer and shin. gle machine, and is splendid mon ument to the enterprise and energy of its owner. The merchants of Do
 yer have their storehouses supplied with large stocks of goods and arc doing fine business. Circuit court was in session and q peep within its precincts revealed the fact that Judge Cunningham is dispatchino business with vim and dealing out justice with an impartial hand, while prosecuting attorney Wallace is at his post zealously guarding and closely watching the interests of the $ Late. While Tn Dover our reporter was the guest of MT. H. Kirchhoff. whose pleasant hoRe IS indeed a place of rest for the weary traveller. and to him and his charming grand Misss Hallie Rankin,i is the DEMOCRAT representative indebted Tor special and courteous attentions: and he tenders his thanks to Capt. D. c. Brown, Dr. c. L.Kirkscey, Mir. w. E. Rollow, and other good citi. .ens of Dover for courtesies shown jim. Monday mornIng oa. "scout" 'eturned home over Cloman's fast inc, pleased with his visit and 1 # the opinion that Dover is a pleas | mt town and it's citizens among the | test in the county. May success in Il departments of life attend them.

 We then should foster this study. Science and Religion, twin sisters, come from God and elevate whomso- ever they touch. For some time we have had course of scientific lee lures in progress at the school build ing. We have been addressed by as learned and talented a lecturer as ever addressed an audience. We have had the opportunity to listen to language, laws and thoughts, free of charge, for which other communi- ties pay large prices and that glad ly. We have had an opportunity to throw round our school, our homes, our society and town the elevating mantle of the highest thought. We have had the nectar of Gods eter- nal truth as taught in his eternal laws presented in golden bowl to our lips. We have had the richly gemmed doors of Gods triumphant ly splendid Creation thrown wide open, revealing Creations God more wonderful, more august, more pow erful and more sublime than word can picture or thought conceive. = Have we profited from this labor? Have we appreciated this work Have we fostered the growth of our school by our interest in this ad- junct? Were we there once, Were we there at all?
 Men of thought are proud of Rus scllville. Men of action must lend their time more and yet more to fos- ter and sustain that pride. The pub lie institutions of town are it's genius and support Private thrift cannot go on long when these are neglected. Then with long pull let us head for our object -atogeth. CT and united--and make these ad. Iiuncts what they ought to be--the interest and pride of tue whole neighborhood. Let every patron come out Wednesday night or send some one in hls place to show that he is FEN RAPPORT.

Land Decisions.

The following important decisions were recently rendered by the secre. tary os the interior and the general land commissioner, respectively:
 Acting Secretary of the Interior Joslyn decided that the statutes restrict a contest against a prior tim er-culture entry to one who seeks to enter 1t under the homestead or timbered-culture laws, and in the ab- sence of application there is no right of contest"
 The acting secretary of the interi- or holds that contest for land ti- tie instituted by parent cannot be transferred or inherited by child, even though it shall appear that the contest was instituted for the child benefit.
 Commissioner Mcfarland, in a recent decision. declares that where q person has failed to make entry to q tract of land through being misin- formed of his rights by local land officers, when otherwise entitled to make the entry, he will be protected hy the department and lose nothing unless required to do SO by the actu al demands of law.

Railroad Lands.

The following is the reply of Col. T. M. Gibson to a query propounded by Hon. John Carnall, of Fort Smith
 DARDANELLE, Oct. 2S. 1882.
 Hon. John Carnall, Fort Smith, rk.;
 Dear. Sir: In answer to yours of recent date asking if I would permit homestead or pre- -emption entnes to be made upon lands sold to citizens by the railroad company, the said company supposing that they would obtain title from the United States thereto, 1 have the honor to inform you that 1 am informed by the rail- road company that they have sold no lands except those which were regu- larly selected as railroad lands. and which appear upon the records of our office as railroad selections. We have repeatedly refused to allow apph- cants to homestead or pre- empt rail road selections, because it would, in my opinion, be unlawful so to do. The railroad is now trying, as I am creditably informed, to get those persons to whom they have sold land and for which they now believe they will not obtain title to, to pre- -empt the lands sold to them, they paying all the expenses incidental to ohtaln- ing title from the United States, or to refund them the money paid by them. This is all they can do; and if the purchasers will not do this, l will (when l obtain authority so to dol accept applications for the lands, and give the preference right to those settling upon the said lands. I can. not, however, accept such applications until the selection by the railroad are cancelled, or relinquishment to the said lands made by the said rail. road company. Very respectfully,
 T. M. GIBSON, Register.

There is now about thirty feet of water in the we'll, and last week Mir. Berry placed the pump in position on wooden beam we'll pitched with tar in the we'll, just above the water, and is now ready to supply the hand some 5000 gallon tank built by Mir.

 At present there are twelve opera. tives in the Mill, who are all busily engaged in placing and putting UT the machinery. It looks like busi ness already. What will 1t be when everything is running? Mir. Haney reports the machinery all in good shape and will commence grinding the first section ot cards about the 20th inst, after which time he will run day and night until everything is complete, and all the orders arc filled, which have been received.- The orders up to date number five some of which run as high as 1000 coils of rope and 100000 pounds oI twine.
