Revised Statute® of 1852.

4 Cof»*«r«»c" of Ken I £*tnte.| By the reused law Ion this subject, real estate fn#y bo conveyed by and »o any bona fide resi deal of the Unii&l Stales, though en alien. l!n tier the old law it was necessary that the alien should declare hi* intention of becoming a citizen

By the law of T844, Indian# could only convey lands to Indians, except they obtained the consent of the Legislature. In the new law, this disability fa remored.

Jn other respects the new law conform*, in all essential particular#, lo the old, except that it embodies the provisions 3f a bill introduced by Mr. Owen in January last, in which validity was given to certain abort forms of deeds and mortgages and by which that provision of law, which requires a .married woman to acknowledge the deed in any form other than that required ofunmarriod persona was abolished.

Though we have already published a speech of Mr. Owen, containing these forma, yet as it was then but a proposal, uncertain to be adopted, and many may have pas*ed it over as such, we again copy them, and proceed to state the effect given to them by the law now under consideration.

The forms given are. of course not imperative Any one may still use the old forms if he sees fit. Hut if. aa we think likely, the recording of deeds will hereafter be paid for, at so much lor each hundred words, few will probably choose to retain and pay for the antiquated surplusage.

The warrnnty deed, it. form given below, or oth* er forma substantially the same, is declared to be a good and sufliiont conveyance in fee simple, wiih tho five usual covenants, lo wit of seizin, right to convey, freedom from Incumbrance, quiet possession. and general waraniy-against all lawful claim* JI a grantor desire to omit any of theae covenants, ns that of seizin, or of freedom from incumbrance, ho can take the old form and make tho desired omission.

The quitclaim doed conveys the entire right of the grantor, but without any waranty either general or special. A special waramy may, of course, bo added, if desired'as thus 'John Doe quit-claims and warrants against the just claims of nil persons claiming through him unlit Richard Hoe. &c.'

Th© word 'warrant* in the form of mortgage has the same meaning as in the waranty deed. The prvoiVion of the old in regard to the acknowledgement of deeds by married women, requiring the Judge or Ju*tlo© to send the husband out of the room before Itls wife acknowledges,— a provbon which has long been ridiculous or an offensive nullity, a mere temptation to false certificates,»is repealed and it is provided, that, 'it shall not be necessary for a married woman to aoknowedge her deed in any form other than that required by unmarried persons.' It is provided, however that if any grantor of a dec signs the same with his or her murk, or if tho officer taking the acknowledgement has good cause to believe, that the purport of the deed is riot known to the grantor, it shall be |ho duty of such officer, before fully to make known to stich grantor the contents and purport of the dead, which he or she is about to sign. -S1®-

We now proceed to give the new forms premising. that (where the description of the premises is as brief as that selected hare.) while the form of and acknowledgement heretofore usually employed contained about four hundred and fifty wards, the new form of both .contains about eighty, The old form of acknowledgement a hue, with its jealous provision! about an examination separate and apart, contained twice as many words as the new form, deed, acknowledgement and alt.

The following are the forms Teferred to which our subscribers would do-well to preserve or copy: for thus, in mauy oases, they may snvo the necessity and expense of procuring a magistrate or lawyer to draff a deed, every time they may desire to mako, a conveyance of land to & neighborJ iff

'Hie price usually paid, at this time to a lawyer or justice, for drawing a deed is more frequently a dollar than seventyfive cents. 'But let us put it at seventy-five cents only then the coat pf. fitty thousand deeds would be thirty*seven thousand five hundred dollars.— Suppose, under the new law, that one half draw their own deeds, and the other half pay fifty cents each for drawing, them then the cost would be twelve thousand five hundred dollars, and we have an annual saving of twenty five thousand dollars.

(General Conference, M. E. Chnrch. We copy the following from the Indiana State Journal. The correspondent, who writes from Boston, is doubtless Rev. W. II. Goode, Presiding Elder of Indianapolis District, Northern

Conference: J?TSIfiJ*M The ordination of the Bishops elect took place in open Conference, this morning, at 11 o'clock.— They were solemnly consecrated by the imposition of the hands of Bishops Waugh, Morris, and Janes, with the services prescribed in the discipline. The large Conference room was crowded with spectators and the services were deeply im* pressive.

Dr. Scott is fifty years of age, a native of Delaware, and has been in the ministry about twentyfive years. His last four years have been spent in the agency of the Book Concern at New York. Professor Baker is a nalivo of New Hampshire, forty years of age has been inthe travelling ministry about fourteen years, and for some years past tins been in connection with the Biblical institute,, at Concord, N. H. Dr. Simpson and Rev. E. Ames, are well known in the west. The newly ordained Bishops have taken their seats.

The report uf tho committee-: upon Lay Delegation was aho presented and acted upon this morning. it is known to the public that two several Conventions have within a lew months past, been held iu Philadelphia that one composed of the ad* vooates for the proposed change, and the other of those opposed to it. Hitherto the question has been one between the laymen themselves. Both Conventions have been represented here, and have had a patient and respectful hearing before the committee of the General Conference, consisting of one delegate from each Annual Conferenco.-— Tho committee report that the proposed change is sought by a small minority, while the v«rry grefat majority of the laymen themselves approve the economy of the church, as it is. and are adverse to innovation. For this and other reasons, they report against the alteration. The vole was concurred in by a vote of 1G8 ayes, 3 nays.

The Indiana and Notth Indiana Conferences have both been divided, and four Conferences constituted wholly within the bounds of the State.-— The old names are retained by two of the Conference*. Indiana Conference will embrace the Southwestern quarter of the State North Indiana Conference, tho Northeastern qnarter. Southeast Indiana Conferenco and Northwest Indiana Conference will include the territory indicated by their names respectively. Tho city of Indianapolis is divided equally among the four Conferences, by the intersection of Market and Meridian streets, giving one church and congregation to each. An adjournment will probably take place about the 1st ul June. G-

"i ^Republic* not ntway* Ungrateful. C. Stewnrt, Charmnn ofCommitttue on Private Land Claims, made a report week before last in the Texas Legislature, of whioh the following are extracts. 'Your Committee on Private Land Claims to whom was referred the petition of Mrs. Susan J. Dooiey, wifaof Little John Dooley of Rusk county, have Voolep considered the same. 'Petitioner states that she has been twice married, that by her first husband s»he had seven chil* dren, and by iter last husband a good many. Recently, says her petition, abe has been made the mother of three fine children at one birth. 'Mrs. Dooley prays for aaecftion of land for each of her children, but your eosnmmiite believe that a half section of land for each of them would be sufficient inducement to similar exertions on the part of other ladies who love their bosom lords as well.' 'Committee, therefore, report a bill granting to the children of Mrs. Dooley a hall section, 320 acres oi land each, and recommend it to the moat favorable consideration of the Hooae^, -.

Jenny Lind's Farewell.

Castle Garden. New ^York, on the occasion of the farewell concert of Jenny Lind Goldschmidt, contained one of the largest audiences ever assem bled within its walls. It. is estimated that over ^even thousand persons were present. The programme Was the same as that whioh introduced the fair songstress to our shores, with the exception that Bayard Taylor's not over successful Greeting was exchanged for Mr. C. P. Cranch's pretty fare well Song, which was set to music of a simple and pensive character, by Mr. Goldschmidt. The excitement at the close of the song was intense, but when she responded to the call which brought her out after the song was finished, the whole house rose, and pronounced its farqwell in one wild outburst ot passionate enthusiasm. The words of the song are as follows:". 'w $ Young land of hope^^r ^M&Vn^&r 'feSS

SATIS YALE'S HABBIAGE OS IiOVE AJTD LUXURY.

*'$lf ever I marry.* Katie Yale used Ho say, half in jest, half in earnest—*If ever I marry, the happy man—or the unhappy one, if you please—ha! -shall be a person possessing ihes« three quai-

W»ti©os:

1 do hot know tio'w mubh of this sentiment cante from Kaiie's heart. She undoubtedly indulged lofty ideas of station and style—'for her education in the duties $nd -aims of life had been deftoiept, or rather erroneous but that she was capable of deeper, better feelings, none doubted, who had ever obtsined even a partial glimpse of her true woman's nature. Mr

And the tjme arrived, at length, when Katie was to take that ail-important step ot which she had often spoken so lightly when she was to demonstrate to her frtends how much of her heart Was in tho words we have quoted!

Ai the enchanting age of eighteen s)ie had many suitors but as she never gave a serious though to more th#n two, we will follow her example, and discarding all except those favored ones, consider their relative claims.'

If this were any otherihan a truestofy,I should certainly use an artist's privilege, and aim to produce an effect by making a strongcontrast between tlfese two favored individuals. If 1 could havo my way, one should be a poor genius, and somewhat of a hero, the other a wealthy fool, and somewhat of a knave.

But the truth is—t Ybl- Li4 Our poor genius was not much of a genius, nor very poor, either. He was, by profession, a teacher of music, and he could live very comfortably in exercise thereof—without the most distant hope, however ot attaining to wealth. Moreovor, Francis .\finot possessed excellent qualities, which entitled him to be called by discreet elderly people a 'fine character by his companions a 'noble good fellow,' and by the iadies generally, a *darling.%

Katie could not help loving Mr. Frank, and he knew it. He was certain she preferred his society even to that of Mr. Wellington, whom he alone saw fit to honor with the appellation of rival.

This Mr. Wellington (his companions called him the 'duke,') was no idiot or hump-back, as»l could have wished him to be, in Order to make a good story. On the contrary, he was a man of sense, education, good looks, and fine manners and there was nothing of the knave about him, as I oould ever ascertain,-?^ mlgj

Besides this, his inctfriid'WM sufficient to fcnahlo him to live superbly. Also, he was considered two or three degrees handsomer than Mr. F. Mtnot. £& t»*

i, tmi'

Therefore the only thing on which Frank had to depend, was the power he possessed over Katie's sympathies and affection. The 'duke'—although just the man for hCr in every other sense, being blessed with a fortune, good looks, and common sense—had never been able to draw theae out and the amiable conceited Mr. Frank was not willing to believe that she would suffer more worldly considerations to control the aspiration of her heart. ,A

However she said to him, one day, when he pressed her to decide his fate—and she said to him with a sigh— •Oh, Frank! I am sorry that wc ever met!' 'Sorry?' *. W? 'Yes—for we must part now—' 'Parti' repeated Frank turning pale.

It was evident he had not expected this. 'Yes-*—yes,' said Katie, casting down her eyes with another piteous eigh.

Frank sat by her side he placed his arm around her wai*t, without heeding her feeble resistance he lowered his voice, and talked to her until she the proud Katie—wept—wept bitterly. 'Katie,* said he, then with a burst of paaslofJ, know you love *neh But you are proud—ambitious—selfish! Now if you would have me leave you. say the word—and I go!' •Go!' murmered Katie very feebly—1'go!*, 'You Have decided/' whispered Frank. •I have!' 'Then, love, farewell?' .j

He took her hand, gaced a moment tenderly, and sorrowfully upon her beautiful, tearful face then clasped her to his bosom.

She permitted the embrace. She even gave way to the impulse of the instant, and twined her arms •boot bis neck. But in a moment her resolution came to her aid, and she pushed him from her with a sigh. 'Shall I got* he articulated. feeble ye# fell from her quivering lips.

And an instant later, she was lying upon the so* fa, sobbing and weeping patwionately—alone. To tear the tenacious root of love out of her heart, had cost her more than she could have anticipated and the certainty of a goldeo life of luxury proved kut a poor consolation, tt seemed for the sacrifice she had made.

She lay long upon the sofa. I say, sobbing ana weeping passionately. Gradually her grief appeared to exheust itself. Her breathing became more regular and calm. Her tears ceased to flow, and at length her eyes and cheeks were dry. Her head was piUowed on her arm, and her face was bidden in a flood of beautiful carls.

The struggle was over. The agony was pitflKd She saw Mr. Wellington enter, and arose ch«*rfully M| receive bira. His manners pleased bor his station and fortune fascinated her more. He offered her his hand. She accepted it. A kiss sealed the engagement, but not such a kiss as Franlt had given her, and she could net suppress a aigh.

Her friends were numerous her husband tender, kind, and loving but all the attentions and affections she enjoyed could not fill her heart.

She had once felt its chords of sympathy moved by a skillful touch she had known the heavenly charm of their deep, delicious harmony and now they were silent—motionless—muffled, so to speak, In silks and satins. These chords still and sound less, her heart was dead now the less so because it had been killed by a golden abaft. Having known and felt tho life of sympathy in love, she Could not but mourn for it, and sigh for it, un Consoled by the life of luxury. In short, Katie, in time became magnificently miserable, splendidly

those whose gayety might lead him to forget the sorrows and dispair of his soul. This shallow joy was unsatisfactory, however, and impelled by pow erfu) longings for love, he went astray to warm his heart by a strange fire.

Katie saw herself riow fn lhe midst of a gorgeous desolation, ourning wnh a thirst unquenchable by golden streams that flowed around her panting with a hunger not all the food of flattery and aInitiation could appoase.

She reproached her husband for deserting her thus and he answered with angry and desperate taunts, of deception, and a total lack of love whioh emote her conscience heavily. v•You do no* care for me,' he cried—'then why do you complain that I bestow else he re th 0a tionsyou have mtt with coldness?* 'But it is wrong—sinful,' Katie remonstrated.* •Yes 1 know it?'said her husband fiercely. 'It i« the evil fruit of an evil seed. And who sowed that seed I Who gave me a baud without a heart —who became a sharer of my fortune, but gave me no share in sympathy—who devoted me to the fate of a loving, unloved husband? Nay, do not weep, and clasp your hands and sigh and sob with such desperation of impatience—lor I say nothing you do not deserve to hear.' •Very well.'said Kalie, calming herself 'I will hot complain. 1 will uot say your reproaches are undeserved. But granting that I am the cold, deceitful thing you call me—you know this state of things cannot continue.'

We will be froo,' 'Butthe worlilf'shrieked Katie, trembling. •The world will admire you the samo—and what more do you desire?-? asked her husband, bitterly. •This marriage of hands und not of hearts, is mockery. We have played the farce long enough. Few know the convenient meaning of the term husband and wife but do you know what it should mean? Do you feel that tho only true union is that of love and sympathy? Then enough of this mummery! Farewellf 1 go to consult friends about the terms of a separation. 'Nay, do not tremble, and ory, and cling to me now—for I shall be liberal to you. .A* much of my fortune shall be yours ns you desire.'

He pushed her from him. She fell upon the sofa,- From a heart torn with anguish, she shrieked aloud— •Frank. Frank! why did I send you from me!— Why did I sacrifice love and happiness to such a fate as this? Why was I blind until sight brought me misery?'

Singular Snake Story.

Extraordinary as it may seem, the truth of the following story has been vouched for to lis, Uy a gentleman of veracity, who sa^s he was acquainted with the last and youngest viotiin. It occurred mil Pennsylvania, about twenty years ago.-{£rfs. 'U. |l

A farmer was so slightly bit through the boot by a rattlesnake, aa he was walking to view his ripening corn fields, that the pain was thought by him to have been from tho scratch of a thorn, not having seen or heard tho reptile. Upon his return home, he felt on a sudden, violently sick at the stomach, vomited with great pain and died in a few hour.*. Twelve months after this, the eldest son, who hail taken his father's boots, put them on, went to church at some distance, on hi* going to bed that night whilst drawing off his boots, he felt slightly soratohed on the leg. but merely mentioned it to his wifo and rubbed the place with his hand. Inn few hours, however, he was awakened by violent pains, complained of general giddinoss, fainted frequently, and expired before any succor could be applied with success the cause of his illness also bring quite a mystery. In the courso of time his effects were sold, and a second brother, through filial affection, purchased the boots, and, if I remember rightly, put them on about two years after. As hn drew them off he felt a scratch, and complained of it, when his widowed sister being present, recolleoted that the same pain had been felt by her husband on the like occasion. The youth went^ to bed, suffered and died in tho same way that his father aud brother had done before him.

These repeated and singular deaths being rumored in the country, a medical gentleman called upon the friends of the deceased to inquire into the particulars, and at once pronounocd their deaths to have been occasioned by venom. Tho boo^ that had been tho causo of oomplaint \voro brought to him, when he out one of them open with caro, and discovered tho extreme point of the fang of tho rattlesnake issuing from the leather, and assurod the people that this had dono all tho mischief. To prove this satisfactorily, ho scratched with it tho nose of a dog, and the dog diod in a few hours from the poisonous ellVot it was still able to convey.
