To tlte Honorable, the House of
Representatives of the Leyislature
of Oregon . '
In answer to your Ilesolution
Xo. . making inouirv as to tho
' J. mj
amount of land remaining on hand
of the 500,000 acres granted to the
State of Oregon by act of Con
gress of 1S41, and how mncli of
said land has been disposed of
if any and for what sum ot sums
of money, and what disposition
if any has been made of the pro
ceeds of such sale or sales, and
also any other information, etc.,
I have the honor to say that the
entire amount of 500,000 acres of
said grant has been selected by the
State, that of this amount, 431,
57G 42-100 acres have been ap
proved by the General Land Of
fice, as follows :

t i i
25-100
131,700 14-100
Total 431,570 42-100
Of this amount, there have been
sold 10,520 82-100 acres for the
sum of $15,002 30. There re
mains on hand of the 500,000 acres,
the amount of 489,480 18-100
acres.
As to tho proceeds of the sales
which have been made, one-third
only of the amount of said total of
&15,002 30 has been paid down,
amounting to $5,000 76, which is
said to be in the hands of the
Treasurer of Union county, as lo
cal agent of the Board of Commis
sioners for the sale of School and
University lands, or loaned out by
him as such agent, with the excep
tion of small sums, which have
been paid to the State Treasurer
ami to the agent of the Board, at
the seat of Government; and as
to the balance of 10,001 52, the
same remains unpaid by the pur
chase of said land, but is secured
by note and mortgage as the law
directs.
It is not apprehended that any
of this fund lias been directly used
for any purpose; but by Act of the
Legislative Assembly, approved
October 27, 1808, entitled "an Act
to improve the State lands of Un
ion county," authority was given
to "improve and drain the Univer
sity lands, school lands, and State
lands in Grande lionde valley, in
Union county," and for such 'pur
pose the Secretary of State was di
rected to draw warrants to pay
the contractors for the work "out
of the proceeds of the sale of the
lands granted to the State of Ore
gon for the purpose of internal im
provements, by Act of Congress
passed September 4, 1841 ; pro
vided, that said warrants shall not
he drawn for a greater sum than
hfteen thousand dollars."
The fourth section of said Act
of the Legislature appropriates fif
teen thousand dollars for said pur
pose out of lands created by the
sale of these lands and in case
there should not be funds arising
from such sales in the hands of the
Treasurer at the time of the draw
ing of said warrants, the Treas
urer shall indorse his acceptance
thereon, and the same shall be paid
in gold coin out . of the first mon
eys secured for lands' above men
tioned. Warrants have been drawn
upon this fund on account of the
authority above referred to,
amounting to $14,302 14, which
have been accepted, and arc now
unpaid, and still outstanding.
The information herewith trans
mitted, excepting the reference
made to the Act of October 27,
18G8, is derived from information
given by Hon. S. E. May, late
Secretary of State, and Hon. J. .
Moorcs,"late agent of the Board of
Commissioners for the disposal of
school and University lands, the
reports of those officers not being
yet available.

A rrian has been convicted of
murder in Missouri, hting, and af
terwards brought to life by a gal
vanized battery, on purely circum
stancial evidence. The wadding
used in the gun, which was found
near the murdered man, was a
piece ot German paper, and a
piece of the same paper was found
in the murderer's pocket, which
exactly matched the wadding.
Another strong circumstance
against the man was that he con
fessed the murder.
A Eiil to Prevent frauds at Elections.

Kourc Joint Eesolution
The following resolution war? In
troduced in tbe lower house last
Saturday, by Mr. Amis of Lane.
W'hereasi The Legislative As
sembly of the State of Oregon, by
an act entitled "An Act for the re
lief of the Commissioned Officers
and Enlisted Men of the Oregon
Volunteers . in the service of the
United Stales," approved October
24, 18G4,and by an act amendatory
thereof, approved December 11),
1805, and by an act entitled "An
Act in relation to bounties of Vol
unteers," approved Decmber 19,
18G5, authorized the loaning of the
cred it of the State, and the creation
of debts, and liabilities in excess of
the sum of fifty thousand dollars,
and to an amount exceeding the
sum of two hundred and thirty
thousand (230,000) dollars, and at a
time when the State of Oregon was
not engaged in vrar, and was not
invaded, nor. in danger of invasion,
and when then; was no insurrec
tion within its borders ; and
Wlureas, The loaning of such
credit, and the creation of such
debt and liabilities, were palpable
violations of the Constitution of
this State, Sec. 7, Art. XI; and
WThereas,It is claimed that there
exists by reason of said illegal acts,
a large indebtedness, amounting to
about the sum of $100,933 ; now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, The Senate concurring,
that the question shall be submit
ted to the qualified voters of this
State, whether the illegal indebted
ness created in pursuance of said
acts of the Legislative Assembly
shall be paid, or not.
And the judges of election
throughout this State are required
to propound to each voter the
question, "are you in favor of pay
ing any indebtedness created by
the acts approved October 24,
1804, and the. amendment thereto,
of Dcember 10, 1805, and the act
of December 19, 1805, entitled "An
Act in relation to Bounties to Vol
unteers" and the answer thereto
shall be recorded, certilied, and re
turned as other election returns,
and upon columns to be made upon
the poll books by the County
Clerks of the respective counties of
this State. And until such elec
tion, and the meeting of the next
General Assembly, the Treasurer
shall not pay either the principal
or interest of The bonds issued
under such enactments.
The Orchard.
The heavily laden branches of
all fruit trees should be relieved
of a portion of their burden by
thinning the fruit and removing ail
that is defective. Fruits as they
ripen should be gathered immedi
ately. Pears should be picked be
fore thev become thoroughly ripe
and placed on a dark shelf in a
dark closet where they will ripen
thoroughly and preserve their full
ilavor. This precaution is partic
ularly necessary in the case of Jar
gonelles and Bartletts, which, if
allowed to ripen on the tree, will
be found to be rotten at the core,
llemovc careAilly all suckers, pinch
the ends of too luxuriant shoots,
and in case the tree is growing out
of shape, prune moderately.'
Ivccp strawberries free from run
ners, except those which are
wanted to make new beds.- Cut
away the old cane of raspberry
bushes, leaving but four or five
shoots to each stool. Xow is the
time to catch the borers before
they lay their eggs in the bark
near the ground. It is said that
a little guano strewn close to the
base of the tree, will prevent them
from entering the ground to lay
their eggs, and others reccomend
as a preventive, to wrap the stem
of the tree with brown paper to
the height of a foot from the
ground. Worms, borers, bugs and
aphides of every kind, which prey
upon fruit trees, should now be
pursued and exterminated. A few
hours spent in waging this war
now, will insure healthy trees and
good fruit next year. It is rcc
commended to wash the stems of
apple trees, in dry weather, with
ashes and water or brine, to pro
tect them against the borer.
A pretty face soon loses its

On tiic 12th, instant, at the resi
dence of -. in Sevier county, by
William Pickens, Esq., BillUoger
to widow Xancy E. Baiely.
"This," says the correspondent
who sends us the announcement,
"was one of the most extraordi-0
nary exhibitions of fortitude and
determination, on the. part f tho
two persons interested, ever exhib
ited in East Tennesse. Mrs.
Bailey was a widow of twoy
month's mourning. She was fair
beyond the usual fairness of her
associates. Bill Kogcrs was, him
self, a comely rough country youth
of 19 years of age. A week be
fore the marriage, the widow.
Xancy visited the residence of
Bill's maternal parent, and luckily
found her in the field and Bill ii
the house. Xancy is to all intents
a practical business-woman, and
went to work at once. Drawing"
a stool to Bill's -t, says she

for Sevierviile, for the license. But
alas! Bill luuFnt the necessary
sum, when he reached the clerk's
office, to procure the license. So
he tramped home again, enter!
his house before his family, and
without saying a word, took from
his rack, his rifle-gun, and placing
it on his shoulder, again left. Xo
one seems to know any further
particulars. It is known that Bill
got the license, but he brought no
gun back with him.- ..At twelve
o'clock at night, Esq. Pickens was-
called lor, most imploringly to per
form the marriage ceremonies, and
he did it in the most imposing
form, before the brilliant pine-knot;
fire that blazed on the heartr?, and
the presence of the select audience
who had assembled.
After the vows had been made
and the record rendered that they
were man and wife,- Bill's first
ejaculation was, "Xance, we've

of the towns of Arkansas, a man
had been drinking until a late hour
at night. When he started for
home honest men were in bed, and
the houses were all shut and dajrk.
The liquor he had taken was tod
much for him and he did not know
where to go. He at last staggered
into an empty wagon-shed and fell
upon the ground. For a long time
he lay in the unconsciousness of ;i
drunkeii sleep, and would have
frozen (for the snow on the ground
showed the night to be very cold)
had not others less insensible than
himself been around him. This
shed was a favorite rendezvous jf
the hogs ; they rushed out when
the new comer arrived, but soon
returned to their bed. In the
greatest kindness, and with

and others answering the place of
a quilt. Their warmth prevented,
him from being injured by the ex

Finding himself comfortable and
in blissful ignorance of his where

in company with other gentlemen.

Fanny Fern tells the following,
of her hrst meeting with Horace
Greely. He had agreed to take
tea at her house and Mr. Parton
gave her special injunction to have
some stale bread on the table, as
Mr. Greely said he. never touched
hot biscuit. This was accordingly
done, and when the great editor sat
down to supper, a large supply of
dry bread was placed close to his
plate. He, however, was not con
tent with this; but peering across
the table in his near-sighted way
at the biscuit opposite, he stretched
out his arm and proceeded to help
himslf, and actually made a meal
of them. Mrs. Parton expressed O
her surprise at this, and said :
"Why, Mr. Greely, I read the
Tribune for so long a time that I
thought you abominated hot
bread." "Fanny," replied the sage
Horace, helping himself to another
biscuit, "do you always practice
