circular to Begistere and Beceivers:
Beferr og to circular of April lth 1879,

officer before whom the proof is to be made.
Yon will also request each claimant to name
POUB of his neighbors who may be able to
testify aa to hi compliance with the law,
any two of whom will be competent witnesses
when proof is made. Such a course will
prerent much incooTenienee and delay. The
DceUSce address of the witnesses shoold be
given in all casts. Jt is not sufficient to
give the county only. Yoa will see that the
foregoing requirement are incorporated In
Form No. 2, (Noiice for Publication) so that
such notices will hereafer be substanitally
in the following form, t!i:
"Notice is hereby given that the following
named settler has filed noiice of bis intention
to make final proaf in support of his claim
and secure final entry thereon, aid that said
proof will be made before the clerk of the
court or Beed county, at the county seat, on

Register.
The object of the law requirirg eochTio
tice is to give to parties having adverse
claims or filing, rr to those having knowl
edge that the claimant ha not complied
with the requirements of the statutes, full
notice of the time srd place cf presenting
proof in order tbat opportunity may be given
them to Iw heard prior to the perfection of
an entry.
Thb New York Evening Post is the au
tborilv for the statement that "the present
activity in real-estate circles is so great that
experienced dealer do not hesitate to declare
that it has never before been f qoaled. Gcod
judges assert that since last October there
has been an average general increase of 30
per cent in the value of city property. The
healthy character of this revival in real estate
is shown by the fact that in most recent
transfer the whole price has been pud in
cash, and that second mortgage have ic
corae practically obsolete."
Many little farm well tilled, with many
industrious, sober farmers to till them, con
stitute th highest d-gree of agricultural
prosperity. The greater number of persons
who own land in any community, the more
interest will they lake in its toiprotement.
People who rent land as a rule care noth
ing for the soil they work, further thin
what it will yield tbem; but a tnsn who
owns land wants to see it-s fertility and pro
ductive capacity kept up, not alone fcr his
own, but for his children's benefit, who will
inherit it after him.
TnE enterprising broinew men of a (own
can readily be picked out by their adver

the columns of their home paper) to make
their baineM known to the public. Money

H. W. WlIJ.Il US, of Taiboro, North
Carolint, is emulating the wheelbarrow

In two days five hundred Union soldiers

One of the men whose misfortune it was
to be impaneled on the jury before which the
Tilton-Beecher case was tried was a grocer,
doing a small business in the city ol Brook'
lyn. During his enforced absence at the
courr, which extended over several months
the grocery business went to rack and ruin,
The amount paid in witness fee proved
quite an inadequate compensation for the
loss involved, and after struggling for some
time against the inevitable, the grocer gave
it up, and thankfully accepted a position aa
night watchman. The pay to be received
was small, the family to be supported wss
luge, snd the man bas just died in extreme
poverty. The story la as pitiful a it is pe
culiar.
The coal-miners' strike is getting to be a
serious affair in Pennsylvania, and a coal
famine la imminent. It extends all thrcutb
th region of th Moooaahela and Mahon
ing Valleys, and along the line of the Pan
Handl. Baltimore ;Obio, and Penstyl
vinia Railroads, and is felt to be particularly
severe in Pittsburg and vicinity. A few
weeks ago there were millions of bushels
of coal in tbat city awaiting shipment, but
now it is so scarce that price hav advanced
from 10 to 14 cen's a bush. The iron
mills that are crowd-d with orders, and hav
been running night and day, will soon be
obliged to suspend operatior son acrount nt
the lack of fuel. Borne of the mill art
closed already.
Oveb 20O,f 00 carloads of live and dress

eggs annually.

Bob Fet, of the Sprareville News, ha

to the one given ty Jsy Gould on behalf of
of the K. P. road, for the benefit of tbe suf
ferers on that road. Bob would like to dis
burse 55,000, and probably the sickly News
would receive a share o' the donation. O,
conscience, what cheek ram people have!

THE opinion of Old settlers is that th
cjmirg season will be a wet one. In March
there will likely be wet snow storms, fal
lowed by copious rains during the summer
months. The opinion is based upon prece
dent. A mild dry winter is followed by a
wet spring and summer. In fad, taking
preceding season as example, it is stated
that the rammer will be unusually rainy.
This opinion is given by tbos who hav
resided on ihe plains for twenty year pearl.
