E. B. i entirely satisfied with his rights si a set tler to the lands to which he made claim, procured from Jaques Yaux, a float title to lots one and two, section 9, which was; the Receiver's receipt issued June 1834, under the pre-emption act of 1834, and on tbe 25th of July) 1838, procured its assignment to Gordon S. Hubbard. At the sane time, he also obtained from Lewis Yaux, a float open lot 6, section 9, on the south side of tho river, and on the 25th of July 1838, procured its assignment to Gordon 3.

llubbard. In the winter of 183S and 1838, the city of Racine was laid out ia lota and blocks. Subsequently, Congress passed the pre emption bill, bv the terms of which, no right of pre-emption was granted to actual settlers upon lands within the location of any incorporated town, or to any portion of lands which had been actually selected as sites for cities or towns, or especially occupied or reserved for town lots. The float title to the village was conse quently-decided to be invalid. by an act of Congress, approved May 2Cth, 1824, tbe right had been granted to coun ties, of pre-emption to quarter sections of land for seats of justice within the same.

The seat of justice of Racine county had been, in 1836, located at Racine, and so on the 2nd day of January, 1838 an act was passed by the Territorial Legislature authorising the county commissioners to sell and convey the right and title of tbe county, under the act of 1824, in and to the east fractional half of section 9 to Gilbert Knapp, his heirs and assigns, up on his paying to the board, within two years from the date of conveyance, at the rate of ten dollars per acre therefor, with ten per cent, interest; and providing further, that the county commissioners should immediately enter upon and secure the preemption to which the county was entitled and the money arising from the sale by the county to Captain Knapp, to be disposed of in the erection of county build ings, for the county of llacine, according to said act or Congress. The county officers refused to carry this law literally into effect, and tbe title re mained uncertain until the winter of 1838 and 1839 when an arrangement was made between the original proprietors and the county officers, by which the former should erect or procure to be erected, county buildings, consisting of court house and jail, and building for county offices, and the latter should release and convey their interest in the lands to tbe first claim ants. On the Cth day of February, 1839, Samuel Hale, and John Bullen, as county commissioners, procured a dupli cate of lot east factional half of section 9, under pre-emption act of 1834, which, on toe lltu day or zebruary, 183, was assigned to Captain Knapp. On the same day, Captain Knapp gavo to tbe commis sioncrs bis mortgage on tbe property, con ditioned for the performance of the agreement that had been entered into. Tbe county relinquished all of its interest in lots 1, 2, and 6, in section 9, and the eon tract for tbe construction of the county buildings was assigned to Roswell Morris and Wm.

II. Waterman, who, in 1839, built your present court bouse. The jai was built in 1841, in connection with and as pari of the fog jail built in 1837, and the brick building now occupied by the Clerk and Register was constructed in 1842. Thus, after adversities and sacrifices the proprietor of the original plat secured to themselves the rights which they originally supposed tbey had acquir ed by virtue of settlement and possession, and the county of Racine secured the eon strnotion of county buildings, which it is high time were tore down, to give place to more commodious and modern struc tures. In consequence of legislation by Con gross, whioh I have already alluded to, Mr.

Campbell, who had settled on the har bor addition, found himself dispossessed of the rights which he supposed he had acquired by virtue of original settlement Tho Tillage of Racine, by M. B. Mead, iu President, on the 17th of October, 1843, obtained tho title to this property, but made arrangements with Mr. Campbell by means of which he retained a quarter interest, the village securing a three quarter interest. This three-quarters interest was disposed of by tbe village, and the proceeds were expended on the harbor, whioh fact gave this tract of land Its name as the harbor addition.

Joel Sage, in retaining his claim and title to tbe 107 acres, upon which he lo cated, was spared the trials and troubles which Congressional legislation had brought to other settlers. But he had long and discouraging conflict with fraud ulent float holders, who sought, by al means that were not honest, to oust him of his possessions. lie journeyed to Green Bay, and there resisted their pretences he went to Chicago and employed lawyers to assist him in his warfare, and with, a just conception of the first great right and duty -of an actual settler, he took good cam to maintain the actual possession bf the lands upon which he bad located. IKs theory was that his cabin was his castle that possession was nine points in the law, and adhering with courageous per tinacity to his floats and bogus titles could not prevail against him, and his rights culminated in actual title in 1838, by virtue of pre-emption To Mr. Long well, one of the substantial farmers of Racine county, is hereby ten dered our sincere tbanke for a fine lot of cherries.

We shall always remember and cberries-h his liberality with pleasant cago, 111., has just issued very valuable history of the late War between Germany and France, from tho pen of one of oar most popular writers, Mr. Jambs D. Mo-Cabb, Ja. In a largo volume of 800 octavo pages, tho author tells a wonderful story all tho stranger because of its truth. He tells of battles which have Europe to its centre, and the consequences of which, oven wo of tho Western World must fool; of patriotism, heroism, military skill and statesmanship, never surpassed in historj.

Tho author writes with tho weight and force of truth, and tho great merits of his book are its reliability and strict impartiality. r'V: Tho booh Is complete in every partic ular. It describes the causes of tho war, and the events which preceded it; the opening campaign, and the jirst reverses of tho -French; the effect of these reverses upon the French people; the frantic ef fort to rescue the beaten army, and the terrible disaster of aedan; the capture or the Emperor Napoleon, and an entire army; the Revolution in Paris; tho rise and formation of the Republic; the flight of the Empress from Paris; the siege and surrender of Strasbourg and the frontier fortresses of France; the triumphal advance of tbe German armies to Paris; the efforts of Baxaine to escape from Metz, and the final surrender of his arm the investment an 1 siege of Paris; the detailed history of this great siege; its plans, sorties, battles, successes and failures; the course of events in the belea-gured city, given in the form of a full diary of the events of the siege; tho campaigns on the Loire, and in other portions of Frarce; the peace negotiations, the surrender of Paris, and the treaty; the naval history of the war; the diplomatic history on both the German ana French sides; tho history of the formation of the great German Empire; the proclaiming of King William Emperor, and the realisation of German unity; the events of the civil war and second siege of Paris, its terrible scenes of bloodshed and vandalism, with a minuteness, graphicness and brilliancy, which leaves nothing to be desired. No intelligent person can afford to bo uninformed as to theso events which have left so deep an impression on the world's history, and few will fail to read this splendid work; or, having read it, to endorse it as the Standard American History of tho War. In this age of sensational literature, we cannot too highly commend this brilliant and thoughtful narrative to our readers The book is handsomely bound, and illus rated with 150 maps, portraits, battle scenes, and views of the principal locali ties connected with the war.

No expense has been spared by the publishers to make it worthy of the support of the publio and we predict for it an immense sale, especially as its low price brings it within reach of all. It is published in both En-shsh and German, sold by subscription only, and the publishers want agents in every country. A Female A few days ago a German woman, wife of John Hoffman, a fisherman, died at her home, situated in tbe North part of tbe city, in the district formerly attached to Mt. Pleasant. Some ladies of the Samaritan nature, who are ever ready to lend a helping hand in case of distress, sickness, qr death, went to the house to prepare the corpse for a christian burial.

In the house everything bore the imprint of the most abject squalor. In a cradle, covered an old piece of oil-cloth, laid the corpse of a babe but two months old, on whose body, which was a mass of filth, maggots were found crawling. On the bed, composed of a pile of rags, was the dead mother, her hands fiercely clutched, as if she bad died in great agony. Upon making prepara tions for laying out the body, the hands, by dint of hard work, were opened or un clasped, when a $5 greenback and ten cent piece, postal currency were found therein, to the surprise of all present, en the deceased woman's husband; nor was that all, for upon commencing to re move her garments, upon almost every portion of her body small amounts of money was found, even to a $1 bill lying on her abdomen. About the bed were found different- amounts of money, rolled up in rags, some of which most have been hoarded for years, as bills on old State banks were found, one of which was so mutilated and obliterated that it could not be discovered what bank had issued it.

About $300 was discovered; how much more is hid about the bouse in out-of-the- way places, is not known, if any. But the supposition is that more will be yet discovered.

Wo tako pleasure in announcing to our readers, this week, th iiitroductioo of a new enterprise in Racine, which will undoubtedly prove, in tilno, a great acquisition to our city and ti it manufacturing interest s.i Wo refer to ho cotton batting and wadding factory juM built by Mr. Wm. Itauniun, on the Side, near his grocery, on St. Clair street. The building is two stories in height, an I 50x75 feet, with a commodious engino room in addition.

It is in-tended that the- building and. facilities for manufacturing will bo greatly enlarged and increased 'ere many months have pAiKcd. In addition to the articles above stated, the manufacture of twines, cotton yirns, Sic, will bo largely entered into. Vitb the eiwption of three in Chicago, we believo this is the only institution of that kind in the west. Cotton, for making will be procured at Memphin, conveyed the entire distance to llacine by water, by which means of transportation low freights can be obtained.

It will be eome yet before the factory wilt be in active operation, at which time we hall giv further It will be under the supervision of Mr. Bauman's father, who baa had great experience in tbe business both in Germany and this country; in the former place Mr. B. own ed and operated one of the largest establishments of that kind in the country. We iblnk the citizens of llacine will join with os in wishing tbe new enterprise every success.

Svicioi. Last Sunday afternoon coa-iderable excitement was created in tbe vicinity of tbe harbor by a suicide case. Jaf, Hampton, a Scotchman, aged fifty-five years, and steward of tho schr. Minnie Mueller, of Chicago, killed himself, about on o'clock P. M.

of that day, by cutting bis throat, while, apparently, Jying in bis bunk, in the cabin. The sailors were mostly, or all, aboard, at the time of the occurrence Between two and threa o'clock, becoming anxious for dinner, one of tbt men peered into tbe cabin and noticed the cook lying on the floor in the main room, and, upon further in veatiga-tion, discovered the floor to bt covered with blood. Ho called tbe mate's attention to tho fact; upon an examination, tbe man was discovered to be etona Officers were immediately summoned, who took charge of the body and proceeded to make proper investigations. Jt appeared that the suicide bad committed the deed while lying in his bunk, where the instrument he used for that purpose a razor was found by Sheriff Lawrence. The bed-clothes were completely saturated with blood; he afterwards got up and staggered into tbe main room, a distanco of eight or ten feet, where he full and expired, and was found, as above stated, lying in a pool of blood.

Tho body was then oonveyed to a shed or tore bouse near the WvU. R. Depot, An inquest instituted, and continued Monday, when a verdict of suicide was returned. Tho body presented a ghastlj ppearanco when brought out, and was a horrible spectacle to behold. Tbe deceased was a married man, and resided at Sheboygan, or Sheboygan Falls.

His wife, a young woman, arrived here Wednesday morning to taka obargo of the body. No reason for the oommWion of the rash act has been ascertained, he leaving no cxpla nation or word. Some have ascribed the cause to family troubles, owing to remarks be had made the past few weeks, and others to whisky, a bottle of which was found nsar hi berth, after he had made way with himself. ly mentioned in the Aacus, the perpetrator is also one of the female sex; shj did not, however, escape as easily as did the first one, for she was brought before the church of which 6he is a member, severely reprimanded, and ordered to replace what she removed, which, doubtless, she has done 'ere this. i Soxs of TemteTiascx.

This is no slight testimonial ot re spect. More such men are needed. bold. t.nst luesuay noon, as some gentlemen were wending their way home ward, for dinner, one of them discovered a fruit basket floating in tho river. Over the top of the basket a piece of cloth as very securely fastened.

From the delic ious odor arising from tbe article, it was at5 onco decided that something dead was contained in that basket, and it was forthwith fished out, and an investigation made. A baby; it was confidently expected, would be found therein, for, as one gentleman remarked, "no one would take so much pains to secure the cloth over the top cf the basket in so stronga manner, unless it concained something it had not ought to." The covering once off, not one, but tevtral corpses were discovered in fact no less than a dozen kittens and puppies had met with an untimely end by being sewed up in that basket and dumped into the river. It was not long before the object of so much curiosity was restored to tho bosom of the majestic Root. New Sewing Machine. Mr.

Francis Underbill; of this city, has taken the agency for tbe Improved American But ton Hole, Over Seaming and Sewing which, if it performs one-half what is claimed for it, places it at the head of all such inventions. It is simple and perfect in construction, and noiseless while in operation. The manufacturers and agents warrant it to execute, with perfection, all kinds of Sewing, Hemming, Felling, Braiding, Gathering and Sewing on, Quilting, ic, that can be done by any other machine; in the over-seaming stitch, embroidering on the edge, button hole and eyelet holo making in all kinds of fabrics, as well as leather, it undoubtedly stands without a rival. We would advise all in want of a Sewing Machine to call on Mr. Underbill before making a purchase.

He can bo found at 06, Main Reichert's Boot and Shoe store, where the machine can be seen in full operation. The Coleece Merccrt says "the new dining hall, which is to be erected shortly, at an expense jpf nearly $7,000, will occupy part of the empty space between Park and Kemper Halls, and indeed will bo joined to Kemper Hall. This is an improvement of which the College has long stood in need, and the accommodations which it will supply are becoming every day more necessary. The present dining hall is totally inadequate to meet the pressing requisites of coming years. We are unable to give accurately the dimensions of the building, but they will probably be 32x100, and the main hall, we understand, will be 28 feet in bight.

Mr. Miller is the architect; the same who drew up the plan of Taylor Hall, and the Cbapel.
