DESCRIPTION OF GREAT SEAL OF WYOMING.

A mountain with locomotive and train of cars crossing over its summit Near the summit a spring of water, from which flow[s] two streams, one to the east, and one to the west. In foreground, at base of the mountain, a shovel and pick-ax, shepherd's crook and a plow, grouped; all engraved on a shield running from left to right. On each side and underneath the shield, the motto, "Let us have Peace." Over the mountain the figures "1868.” Crest, an elk's head surmounting fasces. The whole surrounded by a double circle, with the words, "Wyoming Territory," "Great Seal."

Ordered, That the above be the great seal of Wyoming Territory, until another is adopted by the legislature.

ERRATA.

Errors, typographical, grammatical and editorial are simply unavoidable in a work of this character. For the first, the printers-for the second, the Legislature-for the third, the compilers, are responsible. The first two classes of errors, it is hoped, the intelligence of the reader will enable him to correct without difficulty.

In the two Appropriation Acts where reference is made to "Chapter 30," it should now be (since the change in the numbering of the chapters by the compilers) "Chapter 79." For the same reason "Chapter twenty-three" in Sec. 17 of Chapter 4, should be "Chapter 113."

In the second line of Sec. 20, "Cheyenne Charter," the word "twenty" should be "two," though it is twenty in the Laws of 1869.

In Chapter 24, sections 4 and 6 were repeated by Act of Congress, approved July 1, 1870. By the same Act, all of Title I of Chapter 34, after Section 48, was repealed.
