those ntrusted by the testator with the direction of
the Academy have determined to make it a training
school in preparation for college. The course of
study will give thorough preparation in the classics,
mathematics and other studies necessary for admis-

town of Quincy will be admitted without charge;
for all Others the annual fee will be 800. The
Academy will be under the head-mastership of Prof
William Il. Dimmock, late of Williams College.
Those who are interested in photography will like
to know that Mr.. Adamss private library Will be
placed in the Academy; and we can give assurance,
from personal observation that this small but ex-
tremely curious collection is well worth visit to
Quincy TO examine. There is hardly one OF the
great early printers Of whose work it does not con-
tain good specimens covering period In
typographical history extending from the Al
buses down to Baskerville. All tho cele-
brated presses-the Italian, French, Venetian, En-
glish and ScOtch-are represented by fine editions
most of them in their original binding. There are
scores of books in this library which rarely met
with outside great collections and many of them
are enriched by Mr. Adams's autograph annOtations.
II is TO be hoped that the library which has been
somewhat neglected, will now be put in good order
that the books which need it will be carefully re-
paired and that an opportunity Will be given to
scholars under proper restrictions to examine the
collection with the aid of good catalogue.

EDITOR JOURNAL 1t is a singular
fact that not a single occupant Of agricul


tural land in this county has yet made
application at the Land Office at Shasta
to obtain an United States patent for the
land he holds by posscssory title only.
Nothing depreciates the value Of property
so much as an imperfect title. There are
in this county at least four townships Of
good farming land, for which United
States patents can be secured by paying
for the land at the rate of 81 % per acre.


1t is a well known and acknowledged
fact that Trinity is one of the richest
placer mining counties in the State, with
some good paying quartz mines partially
developed and mperfectly worked but
| the miners Of this section are the last to
move in the matter Of securing from the
Government perfect title to the land
they now hold by an uncertain tenure.
In all the other mining districts the min
ers are availing themselves Of the recent
act of Congress, and are rapidly buying
the mineral land in their respective local
tiles. This is as it should be, and miners
in Trinity county will do well to follow
this example, and the sooner the better.
The Government survey will soon en-
brace the whole of this county, and claim
owners will then be obliged to have their
surveys made in such shape that their
lines conform to Government lines, there
by compelling them to buy much useless
land or else leave out and lose portions OF
their claims which may be valuable.
This can be avoided by obtaining patents
before the Government surveys are made,
as in that case the miner can get his
claim just as he wants it-taking and
paying for that which is valuable, and
rejecting that which is OF no use to him.
AT the present time claims can be bought
at the rate per acre Of 81 so for placer,
and S. for quartz claims. If a claim own
er wishes to sell he can do so much more
readily, for capitalists will not ask or ex-
pect more valid title than a Govern
ment patent. If he wishes to hold his
claim for an indefinite period without
work he can do SO by paying taxes, and
leave it without fear Of its being Jump
ed" He stands in no danger Of cncroach-
ments from any source. If mine owners
study their own interest they will make
arrangements to secure their titles at
once. BY applying to me parties will re-
ceive the necessary information in re-
gard to the subject matter of this com
munication. Respectfully yours,

In introducing this BuRGLAR-PROOFS Safe
to tho American public, the Manufacturers
offer Safe, not burglar-proof merely in name,
but one which may be surely relied upon to
defy ali the efforts of the most ACCOMPLISHED
burglars for longer period of time than they
can ever have to operate on Il safe.


There is no other safe in the market which,
by means of the most approved appliances,
may not be opened by skilled burglars in from
SIX to ten hours OF uninterrupted attack.


Tho DREADNAUGHT SAFE, it is admit
ted by scientific and practical men, will resist
Tor al time tho uninterrupted attack of skilled
burglars, provided with the most modern an

equal power can be brought to bear in any
such place as to overcome the strength and

be introduced into it, WEDGES cannot be
employed to open it. The OXy-hydrogen Blow
pipe only opens the way to new and insur-
mountable difficulties before which the boldost
burglars would shrink in despair. Drills, even
though diamond pointed, cannot penetrate its
walls IL is impossible to drive in bolt so as
to max an aperture for introducing explosives
as no bolt in the safe passes entirely through
the walls, and no bolt penetrates through the
outer shell. The position of the bolts, their
construction, size, and the way they are in
serted, all combine to add to the difficulty
and perpleXlty of the burglar who attempts to
