BILLS ON THE THIRD READING.
On motion by Mr. FRAZER, the House proceeded to the consideration of the bills on the third reading.

The bill passed by yeas, 74; nays, 7.
Mr. Messick's bill [H. R. 107], establishing a Superior Court in the County of Vanderburg was read the third time.
The bill passed--yeas, 80; nays, 0.
Mr. Skinner's bill [H. R. 59], authorizing the cenveyance and sale of certain lands belonging to the State of Indiana (one-half section of land in Porter County) being read the third time--
Mr. SKINNER said it was a tract of land purchased by the State about eighteen years ago. It has never been used. The section is close to Lake Michigan, a locality settled by Swedes, who wish to purchase the land. He thought it a wise step to take, as the land was of no use to the State and would sell for more than its real value.
The bill passed--yeas, 79; nays, 2.
