neys of Stutsman to prevent Mr.. Kelleher
from being admitted to the bar. Two reports
have just been made to the court at James-
town, one for and the other against his ad-
mission. Mr.. e. spent several days at Valley
City and Fargo this week. massing influence
to secure his admission. No objection is
made to his legal requirements, but his ma
tura oratory throws the others in the shade
and his Incorporating temperance zeal and
practice. Is rebuke to the customs of the
bar in that district. Mr.. z. cares only for
the honors of the profession, as he has great
wealth.
A statement Of this nature made upon less
accurate authority than chat of Maj. Quinn
of Bismarck, would be accepted with some
distrust: IA lady at Mandan died few days
ago and was buried. Five days later gen
tleman dug her up. whereupon she smiled q
sweet maidenly smile, and asked him II he
would kindly escort her to her home. They
call it suspended animation. but if she don't
have relapse before the robins nest again,
folks do say that wedding is just as liable

the growing demand, and it is said that since
the discovery of this lady, not less than
twenty graves have been opened by young
men in search of wife,
Uncle Mike Hileman, an old soldierssawho
spent fifteen months at Andersonville and
Libby. is notified that the commissioner has
found his land proof defective.as his soldier
discharge stated that he had served three
years in the army while the record at WASH
ingtOn indicates that he was discharged two
months and ten days before the completion
Of the three years. If there are no greater
frauds than this in proving claims there
should be no bubble over issuing patents.
The Salem Register insists that in case con-
gress does not open the door of the Union to
the state from Huron, the machine must be
oiled, the crank turned and the wheels put in
revolution. 1t says that the "people Of Da-
kora are only insisting upon constitutional
right, and should congress deny US this, we
must appeal to the supreme tribunal Of the
land-the people Of the United States-and
ask justice at their hands, thus making our
admission national ISSUE"
The Buffalo Sentinel says that many Of the
parties who visit their claims once q month
advertise their intention to make final proof
and then slip out of the territory, beating the
printer and letting the proof go by default,
in order to make persons believe they have
The editor proposes to hunt out such parties
and induce persons to jump their claims.
As an Illustration, James A. Haynes is
astonished to receive notice from the WASH
ington office that his proof made on a claim
in Buff a,o county last spring is rejected for
lack of good faith" He proved that he was
on it constantly for six mouths, and made
permanent improvements, and can't see any

the proposed railroad from La Moure to Abers
deem, by giving the right Of way and grade.
The Aberdeen committee states that one Of
the great trunk lines offer to give bond to
have the cars running from Aberdeen to La
Moure by Oct. l. 1856, if the people along the
line will grade the road bed. 1t is probable
that still better terms will be made.
The second final proof on q tree claim has
recently been made in the Grand Forks land
district. Parties who go through the country

q claim that has good growth of trees.

Congressman-elect T. D. Kanouse was
elected grand chief Of the temperance order
of Good Templars at the meeting of the grand
lodge at Woonsocket last week. He is sure

temperance and will have a good field for his
labors at Washington.
