FROM THE ONEONTA PRESS, N.

Oneonta, New York, Jan. 6tn, 1881.
EARLY last summer Messrs, b. ]. Kendall \ Co,
of Enosburgh Falls. VT. made o contract with the
publishers OF the Press for Q halfcolumn ADVERTISE
ment for one year setting forth the merits OF Ken.
dall's SPAWN Cure. At the same time we secured
from the firm a quantity Of books, entitled DR.,
Kendail's Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases,
which we are giving to advance paying subscribers
to the Press as q premium
About the time the advertisement first appeared
in this paper M. p. g.. Schermerhorn, who resides
near Golfers had a spawned horse. He read the
advertisement and concluded to test the efficacy OF
the remedy, although his friends laughed at his
credulity. He bought q bottle OF Kendalis spawn
Cure and commenced using 1t on the horse in
accordance with the directions, and he informed
us this week that 1t affected such q complete cure
that an expert horseman, who examined the animal
recently could ind no trace OF the SPAWN or the
place whore it had been located, Mr.. schermer'
horn has since secured a copy OF kendail's
Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases, which ne
prizes very highly and would be 10th to part with
Il at any price, provided he could not ooiain
another copy. So much for Advertising reiiaoie

poly. In these localities where the
great body of land is productive of the
necesSaries of life, the intended result
has been experienced. In the dry and
mountainous country the contrary ef-
feet has been produced, and under the
operations of the homestead and pre-
emption laws the greatest land mono
poly exists and of the most objection
character. Locations are made which
embraces a spring or extends along a
stream, and the surrounding lands are
valuleSs to any one but the locators of
the water. Hence the man who locates
100 acres, enjoys the usufruct of a vast
trct, without cost, and without paying
any tax to support the government. A
cattle company or an individual may,
by0wning a few acres, have the occu-
pancy of tract as large as some of the
states In the Union. If existing prac-
rices are permitted to continue, it will
not be long before the cattle business
of the southwest will be in the hands
of few, the government furnishes the
lands gratiously. AS the government
recognizes the equal rights of all citl-
zens to the public domain there is no
boundary established by right or law
between ranchmen, and disorders and
disputes can only be settled by agree
ment among the parties. or by force.
Oman average it requires at least ten
acres per head to sustain cattle, horses
and mules, hence considerable tracts
are necessary in the stock business. He
suggests that it would be wise to change
the laws, applicable to this mountain
region, so that persons may acquire
considerable tracts, varying in size, ac-
cording to circumstances. The lands
Will then be made to contribute tow
ards the support of local government
and of schools. Boundaries will be
established by law, and the danger of
disorder removed.
In conclusion he recommends that
congress make provision for the APP
pointment Of an additional Judge of
the supreme court, IN order that the
overcrowded docket may be relieved.
and in cases of appeal the Judge who
tried the case primarily could be ex-
cuded from the bench.

Bob Burdette on Church Pic
MICS.

This being the season of picnics, the
following realistic picture of one drawn
by r. j. Burdette will be generally ap-
preciated:
"a day in the woods" A realistic
sketch in black and white. 1t is u glad
picnic party The Sunday school has
gone out into the leafy forest. The
dark object in the heavens 800 miles
wide and 1000 miles long is a cloud. 1t
got to the woods about as soon as the
picnic, and it is there yet. Under the.
great oak you can see the dinner. The
large waterproof mound in the middle
of the table sullenly laughing is a fruit
cake. The teacher of. the infant class
made it herself for the little ones. But
the storm saved them. See, the lightn-
ing struck the cake. 1t will never
strike anything else. There stands the
dent, and under the table, shattered and
blighted, lies the thunderbot. Under
the cedar tree there is dying dog. He
got in the way and the superintendent
felled him TO the earth with one blow
of biscuit. The tall figure wrapped
in the ghostly drapery of water-soak-
ed linen duster, leading the way to the
cars, Is the teacher of the young ladies'
Bible class. His influence in the class
has gone forever The young ladies
will never be able to look at him again
without thinking how he looked on this
occasion. Up in hickory tree you see
agrief-stricken face peeping down. It
IS the superintendent. He climbed up
there to fix the swing, and before they
could throw him rope the storm came
up and the picnic adjourned sine die
and sine mora. And he is waiting for
the last straggler to disappear before
he comes down. He has officiated at
Sunday school picnics often enough to
know better than slide down she'll
bark hickory before an audience. The
man with the umbrella under his arm
is the treasurer. He is getting drnech-
cd, but he does not raise his umbrella.
lie knows there is "a name painted OH
the inside of it, but tor the life of him
he cannot remember whose name it is.
He is watching his chance to give the
to a stranger.

The court of inquiry appointed to in
vestigate the circumstances OF the loss
of the Jeannette has just finished its re-
port. The court came to the conclusion
that the ship left San Francisco IN
good condition; that Capt. belongs
attempt to reach Wrangel Land was
iustifiable and commendable; that the
provisions made and plans adopted by
the boats crews after the destruction of
the steamer were judicious; and that
everything possible was done for the re-
lief of the survivors. The report con-
cludes by saying that the conduct of
every officer and man was such that the
court can End no cause to impose CEN
sure on any member of the party, but
in view of the disadvantages under
which they labored, and the constancy
and endurance with which they met
hardships and danger, they are entitled
to great praise.-N. o. Times Democrat.
