There is no longer any doubt as to
the intention of Miss Jennie Smith
making this place her permanent
home. Thursday of last week she
spent here, arranging for the recep-
ton and comfort of a family she was
expecting to sojourn with her. The
same day, however, by train No. 10,
a few moments after the departure of
Miss Jennie East by way of Accom-
mediation train, there arrived here
her brother in-law Mr.. A. Howell,
lis wife, their two children and a
young lady. On Saturday Messrs.
James and Daniel Smith, brothers of
Miss Jennie also arrived bringing
with them household goods and stock,
including among them horse, wag-
on, carriage and an Attorney COW
and calf. The freight bill on the same
amounted to 5000. They all with one
accord express themselves as highly
pleased with the mountain surround
ings. They have been reading THE
REPUBLICAN, and with it are highly
pleased as to size ard contents.

American Newspapers in 1883.

From the new edition of Messrs.
Geo. P. Rowell & Co.'s American
Newspaper Directory, which is now
in press, it appears that the news
papers and periodicals of all kinds
issued in the United States and Ter
ritories now reach the imposing total
of 1876. This is an increase of $50
in twelve months. Taking the States
one by one, the newspaper growth in
some is very considerable. The pres
ent total in New York State, for in
stance, is 1,999--.a gain of so in the
past year. The increase in Pennsyl-
vania is 4S, the existing number be-
Ing 943. Nebraska's total grew from
IT'S to POI, and illinois, from 800 to 9O4.

HELPING THE ENGLISH BARRIER.
 The land question is not as pressing ir England as it is in Ireland, but still it is suf. fciently urgent. The English farmer is charged g high rent. and for the last few years has not been at all prosperous. The weather has been bad for him. American competition has injured him. As result of his misfortunes he has become so poor as to be unable to pay his rents according to con- tract His poverty has made him discon- tented and he has discovered that his land lord has had much the best of the bargain
 The grumblings of the English farme, have been heard, and an attempt has. been mads4a plaeste hiR -hafors he becamas stiE more distressed and dissatisfied. What i. called the Agricultural Holdings bill has been passed by the House of Commons. This measure has been described by it's op. ponents as 8 plan to enrich tenants by mak ing landlords poorer. But there is nothing in the bill which is unjust to the landlords. It is not very radical bill anyway; and its provisions appear to be perfs stly reasonable. It provides simply that tenant on quit. ting his farm shall have 8 reasonable com pensation for the improvements which he has made with his own money, The tenant. who stays receives no compensation, and the outgoing tenant re. ceives back only what he has expended, say on under drainage, in building fences, in lev cling land, in removing stones. or in paint ing his cottage. He will not be paid for all improvements, but only for such as make the holding more valuable to the next tenant. He is paid only for specific improve ments his compensation will not exceed the amount which he has expended. The number of tenants affected by this bill seems to be about 225, GOO, and the average size of each farm is about no acres. .
 What the House of Lords will do with this apparently equitable measure remains to be seen. Most of the lords are great landhold- CTS and very deeply interested in the matter. They have already had heavy losses owing to the inability of tenants to pay their rents. But they have to face the probability that unless something is done to relieve the farm CTS their losses will be still greater than they have been. Then, too, refusal to pass the bill would greatly increase the discontent, which they cannot afford to have increased. Probably they will be wise enough to pass the bill, which, after all, does not confer a very stupendous boon upon the suffering English farmer.
