' Fa? the past tw weeks the Missouri
riv?r has been nearly bank full, holding
a big stage of water longer than we have
ver know it to before. Last Friday
and Saturday it waj rising slowly. On
Friday, ws learn, it cut a channel thro'
the slough which bornJs McKissock's
Island on the west, and the main channel
is now through it. By this caprice of
the Big Muddy rirer trarel is shortened
at least twenty miles.
Several fine farms, we are informed,
are "wiped out" by this move, and we
are told that Saturday evening late some
of cur citizens saw a large dwelling
house and barn floating doWh the river,
supposed to be Irom Maj. Denmau's
farm, destroyed by the rise.
For the Advertiser.
ProL nayden's Letter,
Mr. Editor: I wish to say a few words
to those who are earnestly searching for
Coal in this State
Much prospecting and boring has al
ready been done and much money spent
jq that way ; but the information secur
ed is of such doubtful character that it
throws but little light on the Geological
structure of the country. . Whenever a
boring is made, or a shaft sunk, each
layer or stratum passed through should
be carefully noted in its order of super
position, and - a careful memorandum
made of the thickness, color, etc., of
each, the written record should be pre
served with great care as the memory
cannot be trusted to any extent in mat
ters of science. Specimens cf each bed
passed through should also be preserved
and numbered in theirorder, and if any
organic remains are found they should
be preserved with the utmost care, as
these are the safest guides in determin
ing the age cf rocks, A great deal of
money is squandered in making several
borings ia tha vicinity cf tach other;
one careful boring made, or one shaft
c u&k to a proper depth, will generally
settle the question as to the existence or
non-existence .cf a workable bed cf coal
within acce&bibie distance of the surface
of the whole country around. - The strata
being generally so nearly horizontal that
if a workable bed cf coal should be found
at a rccjcnable depth at Brownville the
'same bed would be reached at not far
from the same depth frcrn the surface cf
any fam cf the surrounding country,
making allowance fcr its elevation above
the commencement cf the borinrr.
The excellent b)ricg made by Mr.
Croxtoa, cf Nebraska City, if continued
400 cr 600 feet farther down anl etch
bed recorded with ecrcpnlous care, with
what is known cf the beds abort the
hcrizca ia the hills near there, would un
doubtedly settle . the qnesticn for the
whole county at least, arid, perhaps, for
a greater area.
I would alo say that much libor and
money would be saved by commencing
the shaft or boring as nearly on a level
with the bed of the Missouri as possible,
for if a workabled bed exists above that
horizon the fact can bo determined from
the outcrop?, or in their absence by
stripping the looae material from the
slopes of the hills
Many persons in the Slate on seejng
an outcrop of black shale along the baiA'
drift in, under the impression that it will
change gradually into a bed of coal cr if
the seam is four or six inches in thick
ness at the outcrcp that it will become
thicker as they drift farther into the bank
I would say that all experience shows
that the chances are very much against
them and their labor and money will be
almost continualy thrown away. A ted
of coal thculd be near thirty inches in
thickneRi to be worked by drifting with
profit, end it is of 'very little use to fol
low the four cr six inch seams which
are not uncommon along the Missouri
River. I would again ask the people o
Nebraska to preserve with great care al
Geological ALineralogical or fassil speci
mens. Dome or tne organic remains
may be of very delicate texture. Let
them be wrapped with great care in
cottcn or soft paper and be placed where
they will not be handled or pricked at by
the curicu?. Every specimen should have
a label with it showing locality and i
possible the character of the bed from
which it was taken and the finders name
All specimens of Peat, Ores, Clays, Lime
stones, etc., xre very much desired and
a statement cf their extent debth etc.
Much valuable information has already
been obtained from the intelligent ob
servations of various gentlemen ia the
State, and if these observations are con
tinned with care, they will prove f great
aid in making out the final report.

About Homesteads.
The following interesting facts abou
Homesteads is from a letter written by
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office in reply to. a letter of inquryfrora
a settler in Dakota Territory. The re
ply is published in ihe Dakotian :
First. That any person, male or fe-
male , who is the head of a family, or has
arrived at the age of twenty-one years,
and is a citizen or the United States, or
has declard his intention to'become such,
is entitled to make a homestead entry
under the provisions of the act of May
2U,ibU2.
Second After making an entry at the
District Olhoe, the party must j roceed
with dilligence to build his house, and
get upon the land with his family, and
commence the culuvauoa and improve
inent of the same
iiira ine nnn section cl ine act
makes the abandonment cf the land, or
exchange of reside nceor more than six
months at any one time, a cause of for
feiture under the clause of the law. You
state that many persons claim the right
to go upon the land ones evry 6 months.
remain there for a day or two, and leave
it agsin. That interpretation of the law
to be supported by this Office Those
parlies could not shdw in the final proof
their actual residence and home had been
upon their homestead entries. But, on
the contrary the evidence would indicate
that land had been only a temporary
abode. Hence such quasi settlers could
have no cause fcr grievance if, upon
presentation of the facts their entries
could be declared invalid. Ia brief, tha
ihe acts of the settler must be as to show
an intention fully to comply in good faith
with the requirements of the law and
make the land what the law intends it
to be his actual residence with such im
provements and cultivation for the soil
as his means and strength will allow.
An exception to this requirement of res
idence is made where the entry is for an
adjoining farm or homestead. In such
cases the party is not required to build
and reside upon the adjacent homestead
entry.But he must prove residence upon
the orginal farm to which tha homestead
tract adjoins, and al?oI cultivation and
improvements oftthe adjoining tract
