A PEACEFUL GRAvE.-She was a
remarkably sensible young lady who
made the request of her friends that
after her decease she should not be
buried by the side of a brook, where
babbling lovers would wake her from
her dreams; nor in any grand ceme-
terry, where sight-seers, coming over
epitaphs, might disturb her; but be
laid away to her last sleep under the
counter of the merchant who did not
advertise in the newspapers. There,
she said, was to be found peace sur
passing all understandings depth of
quiet slumber, on which neither the
sound of the buoyant foot of youth
nor the weary shuttle of old age

our readers, involving as it does a
claim adjoining our neighboring town
of Gladstone, has just been decided
by the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. We refer to the case of

conducted before the Hon. Commis-
