Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
that the act of the. last Legislature of the
Territory, designating the, County Commis
sioners aa the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognised by the, Commissioner
of the Land Otliee.
It Is a question of doubt whether the .fudges
of Probate, or Ihe United States Judp-s, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court.''
As soon aa that doubt Is removed, notice wi.l
bo given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the art f the last Legislatnie
will be plared In the hands of the Commis
aioner, and, under the circumstances, the an
triea already made mav be confirmed.

Send in vour orders soon, as we expect our
list for 1857 will reach llKl.tMHI copies. The
best plan of subscribing is to send your money
direct to the publisher. Those who send
large amounts pad better aeud drafts, but
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro
cured. We think we can show hovy much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Iliree Dol
larsthan any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 3d articles,
the Lady's Book fi.
The Two "Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book 5ll.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 64 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 1(H).
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more "articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double tfc. I'lantity. The lowest club
price'of the Two Dollar Magazine is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,07, only
42 cents difference in the'price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half rents), you receive
twenty-six mie articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly certainly a very cheap three and a half
cents' worth. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the two magazines.

We take tins occasion to announce to Farm
ers throughout the country, that it is the in
tention, of the Editor and Proprietor of the
'"Gcrmantown Telegraph," not only to con
tinue as heretofore the Agricultural Depart
ment of hia paper, but sedulously to add to
its character aud value by all the means t
command. All necessary space shall be pro
vided for a ful irecord of Agricultural Detail
and a full development of every branch of thf
Farmer'a Pursuit. He will in future, as he
has alwaya heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be of real aud substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will contiwu
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly on
biassed by any other motives than those h
conceives to be promotive of the true interest
of Agriculture in its broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
fluence shall swerve him from the path of
right and duty.
Farmers, throughout the country, who de
sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equa1'
to any other family news and literary journal
published, which makes Agriculture a speci
ality, will find the "Germantown Telegraph""
to fulfill every condition, aud to render it en
tirely unnecessary for them to subscribe for.
