We take this occasion to announce to Farm
trs throughout the country, that it is the in-
tendon of ihe Editor and Proprietor of the
"Gcrmantown Telegraph," not only to con
tinuc as heretofore the Agricultural Depart
mcnt or his paper, but srdulo.aU to add to
its character and value by all me means at
command. All necessary'space shall be pro
vided for a ful ireeord of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of the
Farmer's Pursuit. He will in future, as he
hat always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be of real and substantial advantage
to husbandry. His course, also, will continue
to be thoroughly independent, and wholly un
biassed 1 y a iy other motives than those he
conceives to be promotive of th true interest
of Aenculture in itt broadest meaning:. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other in
lluer.e.e shall swerve him from the path of
riirht anil duty.

sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equal
to any other family newt and literary journal
published, which makes Agriculture a speci
ality, will find the "Gennantown Telegraph"
to fulfill every condition, and to render it en
tirely unnecessary for them to subtcribe for a
periodical exclusively agricultural.
Practical Horticulture, Pomology and Gar
dening, generally, will Uiect with particular
attention.
As a Literary and News Journal it shall
not be surpassed by any in the country
Neatly prin'cd on good paper, of the laritst
class, it shall continue to be one of ths hand
somest newspapers of the day.
Lvery taunlv. in town or country, whether
they take other papers or not, will find the
"Germantown Telegraph" to be worth, in lit
eral beneiit, tw Ice the amount of subscription.

not paid within the year, $2.!H). Mail sub
scribers will have the cash postage deducted
when not exceeding 25 cts. per annum, pro
vided the subscription be paid strictly in ad
vance, rosin ge stamps to tri is amount' will

one time, with the cash, will be entitled to the
paper for one year.

Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
hat the act of the laat Leeiilatnre of the
Territory, designating the County Commit
toners as tne proper pertont to enter lows.
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Ind Office. ..
It is a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court."
As soon as that douht is removed, notice wi.i
be given. In the mean time no entering f
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act or the last Legislature
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and. under the circumstances, the en
tries already made iat be confirmed. '
