Cal I and test the article. A (IRt'CLÂK Tl.EKM. Curry, Jackson, Josephine, Lane, Doug las and Benton counties has been re ceived at the Roseburg Land Office : To Registers and Receivers of (J. S. Land Offices— G entlemen : I have to cult your attention to the act of Con gress approved March 3, 1877, enti tled “An act to aim nd section twenty two hundred and ninety-one of the re vised statutes, in relation to proof re quired in homestead entries.” The act provides a method of mak ing the final proof in homestead en tries, dispensing with the necessity that the party shall attend at the dis trict land office, as required in official regulations given on page 5, subdivis ion 17, circular of May 18, 1876. The party desiring to avail himself thereof must appear with his witnesses before the Judge of a court of record of the county and State, or district and Territory, in which the land is sit uated, and there make the final ¡»roof I required by law, according to pre scribed forms, which proof is required to he transmitted by the judge, or clerk of the court, to you, together with the fee and charges allowed by law. The judge being absent in any case, the proof may be made belore the clerk cf the proper court. The fact of the absence of the judge must be cer tified in the papers uy the clerk acting in his place. If the laud in any case is situated in an unorganized county, tae statute I provides that the party uiay proceed to make proof in the manner indicated in any adjacent county in the State or Territory. The tact that the county In which the land lies is unorganized, and that the county in which the prool is made is adjacent thereto, must be certified by the officer. In any case where the final proof shall be transmitted to you, as contem plated in this act, and the full amount of money due shall be paid, you will carefully examine the piooi, and if no objection appears, proceed to issue the receipt and certificate in the case, and make proper returns to this office as a basis of a patent or complete title tor the homestead, pursuant to existing laws. If any oijectiou appears you will promptly notify the parly aud ad vise him of his rights iu the matter. Your attention is further directed to an act approved the same day, entitled “An act fi»r the relief ot settlers on the public lands under the pre-emp tion laws.” Under this statute a party desiring to change his claim under a pre-emp lion tiling to that of a homestead entry should be required, on making the change, to appear at the proper land I office, with his witnesses, and show fuii compliance with the pre-emption law to date of such change as has heretofore been required in transmu tation cases, proof of such compliance to be forwarded wilh the entry papers to this otlice. When the party applies to make final proof he must show con tinued residence and cultivation as re- quired by the homestead law. In case an adverse claim has at- tached to the laud, due notice, iu ac- cordance wilh the rules of practice, must be given all parties in interest ot the time and place of submitting proof in support ot the application to make such change. The adverse claimants will be entitled to the privilege of cross questioning the applicant’s witnesses and of offering counter proof. Very respectfully, J. A. W illiamson , Com’r.

The sparrow can fly at the rate 0Í 92 miles an hour. The falcon can fly at the rate of 73 miles an hour.

Some are so remote that their light, traveling at the rate of 200,000 miles a second, cannot arrive at our little planet in less than 14,000 years. The different species of birds are esti mated at 6,000. The different species of fishes will probably reach 10,000. The different species of reptiles will probably reach 2,000.

Art of printing from movable type in 1440. T here are many persons who do not know how to stop a newspaper. They are more awkward about it than a boy stealing his first kiss. The way to do it with satisfaction to both partiesis to address the publisher by letter, if you do not live near enough to call at his office. It is no way to notify the postmaster, or some one else. Three postmasters in four will fail to notify the office of publication. They look upon it as your business more than theirs. The right way is as genteel and pleasant as the other is suspicious and shabby. If you are for a few wepks or month over the time, tender the amount due. It is a little thing, but it will be a great satisfaction to jour con science, as every one is presumed to have one of some kind. Stop your paper like a man, and your own self-re spect and the esteem of the publisher is maintained. Then you can look him in the eye or take him by the hand, and he will feel proud to think you were once one of his most gentle manly patrons, and wish you would subscribe again.

During the winter sea son, owing to the prevalence of severe storms, the line is prostrated from time to time, and the work ©f repair ing is at times attended with great difficulty and exposure. One line has been found entirely inadequate to the purpose. Private commercial dis patches take the precedence, and the press dispatches are often delayed. By toe construction of the new line the company w'll be able to receive dispatches on one line and transmit on the oilier, thus facilitating business to a great degree.

W ashington , May 4th.— The Cabi net was in session nearly three hours to-day, and it was decided to postpone . the extra session of Congress until the 15th of October next. This change of the original programme was made upon careful consideration of the gen eral interests of the country with almost a unanimity of desire, on the part of the business community, as well as of members of Congress them selves as far as they could he consult ed, that there should lie no session of C ingress this Summer; and, upon much inquiry into ill the circumstan ces of the case, it was found that with out any immediate appropriation of money the army would lie clothed and supplied with all its necessities, and that until the 15th of October that only one regular pay day has to bo passed. It was also considered that if Congress meets in October it may re main in continued session and finish its business before next Summer, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the hot season next year as well as this, and the proclamation calling an extra ses sion on October 15th is to lie issued without delay.
