.Religion among the Sominolos.
in August, Rev. 11. F. Ruckner baptised
eight .Seminole Indians. lie writes;
“Among those who camo forward for prayer
were many young Indian men of promise; be
sides the notorious Abram, the negro chief —•
who has so loug led these wild forest chil

Abram was well known in tho Florida war
as one of (!io most niisehievous’spirits ever en
countered by the whites during that prolong

Make Known Your Business,
The merchant who eschew:; advertising as
an unnecessary expense is ostensibly incapa
citated for his business. The oipeuise of mak
ing known whore you live, what you have to
sell, and the manner you propose to deal wilti
nil those who may patronise your, is quite in
significant in comparison to the benefit de
rived!
Farmers always consult the papers to find
out whore they, without a tirosouio search can
hud the exact articles they waul; and them*
foro those who nave tkoir “light hid under a
bushel ” are always hindmost in attaining the
great disideratum of every merchant—pecu
niary success!
Our readers will readily bear witness that
our leading men in every particular branch of
trade aro liberal patrionisors of tho press..
They with a perception and liberality worthy
ol imitation, avail themselves of the use of
printers’ ink and become wealthy in few years.
On the other hand, those who go on the “old
fogy” principle, soon find themselves with a
stoek of uld goods on hand, and fewer cus
tomers than they desire ; and in nine cases out
ten, they bccomo bankrupted.
Wo throw out these suggestions with no oth
er view than to boncfit those who still labor
nnder the strange infatuation that it is too ex
pensive to Rdvertiso.

Encouragement.
Wo are under many obligations to our friends
who manifest such a lively interest in our en

Although, Heretofore encouraged by tho hope
that the >Sfan would ultimately succod, we now
aro more than realizing our past anticipations,
lu tho language of another: “If it is not in
the power of mortals to command success we
shall deservo it.”

Death of Robert H. Dixon.
This gentleman who was well known in Geor
gia. died at Rockbridge, Alum Spring, Vu., on
the 2d instant, in the 57th yeav of his age.
He was for many years actively engaged iu the
politics of the country, and frequently repre
sented Talbot County in tlie State Legislature.
His strong native sense and sound judgment
made him a very efficient man in nli that he
undertook. His integrity commanded the re
spect of nfl who knew him—his candor, kind
ness and benevolence attached to him all with
whom he came in contact, lu him was ex
hibited one of those rare instances of a man
who was able so to temper ardor and firmness
with moderutiou utul kindness, as in the most
heated contest to conciliate his opponents with
out sacrificing his principles. Os all those
who knew him, and they were many, ue think
there is not one to whom the tidings of his
death will not bring a fooling (if sorrow and
regret. —Comer Stone.
Advertising.
A speculator in Liverpool has offered the
city authorities $5,000 per annum for the use
of the lamp-posts to post advertising bills on.
The offer was not accepted.
Daily papors are better mediums for the
purpose. We believe auy how the Sun's col
umns is a better place for advertising than the
post through which a dull gas light comes
forth!

Baptism of an African King.
Vepple. the ex-King of TTouny, i:i Western
Africa, who'hns recently been deposed by the
chiefs of bis State, because of his agreement
with the Fuglish Government to abolish the
slave trado in liis dominions, wns baptized
°n the 2d of October, at Christian Church,
Watuey street, London, byt he ltev. G. 11. Mo-
Udl, N. A., the incumbent, lie it a tall, intel
ligent looking negro, and was born in Auguet
1817.
An Ossified Man.
In a quiet little village on the Western Re
serve, in Ohio, says the Prescott Transcript,
there lives a man who, physiologically consid
ered, is certainly one of the wonders of the
world. His joints are completely ossified,
turned into bone, aud ho is not capable of mak
ing the slightest movement, except alternately
opening and shutting two fingers of his right
hand. Ilis body is as rigid as iron, and it could
not be bent without breaking some of his bones.
This singular process of ossification has been
going on in his system for more than twenty
years, lie is now about 4(j years old, and has
not had the use of liis limbs so that he could
walk since lie wfts nineteen. Ossification com
menced first in liis ankle joints, gradually ex
tending itself through his system until lie was
entirely helpless; since that time he has been
wholly under his mother’s care, aud she watch
es over him with an anxiety only a mother can
feel. When about 20 years old ho became en
tirely blind from some uuknown cause, and
has remained so ever since. At about 30 he
suffered greatly from tooth-ache, and finally
had them all extracted. A yuar or two after
wards his finger and toe nails came off, and
wore supplied by others growing out from liis
fingers and toes at right angles, and present
ing the appearance of horns. What is still
moru singular in regard to liis nails, if tlie eiid
of the nail is cut oil’ it will bleed freely. Such
is the condition of this renuikahle man at the
present time. He has been visited by a great
number of scientific men from nil parts of tho
world, but nil have failed to give any- plausible
reason of the cause of this transformation
from flesh to bone. Singular as it may appear,
although his jaw bone is firmly sot in his heud,
lie not only talks freely, but fluently converses
with liis friends and those who visit him, on
all ordinary topics of the day, and he shows
himself well informed and of good mind. He
is always cheerful, appears contented and hap
py, and it seems probable that he will live twen
ty years more.

. ‘ The Election in Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvanian of Wednesday says :•
“ In this locality the election yesterday partook
rather of the character of a great democratic
jubilee than a serious struggle. The great
victory in Pennsylvania in October virtually
decided the contest. The Fremont ranks,
thinned by’ disaffection and disgust, and weak
ened by dispair, ‘bad no Stomach for the light.’
That deep Rolling of nationality and love for
the Union which so nobly won for Pennsylva
nia flic proud title of Keystone of tho Fed
orl Arch burst forth iu a living flame of patri
otism, which utterly consumed the hopes and
prospects of black republicanism. Philadel
phia has covered herself with glory, prsudly
vindicating her position as a deadly foe to sec
tionalism, and proclaiming in thunder tones
her devotion to the Union and the Constitu
tion.”
Increased speed of Loeomotivos.
The Philadelphia Ledger cites the exhibi
tion in France of a locomotive weighing sixty
tons, with ton foet driving wheels, and stated
to be capable of attaining a speed of 150 miles
per hour. Its centre of gravity is placed so
low as to vender it safer than ordinary engines
at the usual speed So far as getting off the
track is concerned. It is doubted whether the
speed named can be reached without much
larger driving wheels ; but there is no doubt
of tho practicability of achieving it with larg
er ones, or that, by elevating the track so as
allow of a very low center of gravity, together
with widening the space between the rails and
avoiding common roads by bridges and tunnels,
railroad trains can move with ease and safety
150 miles per hour.
.Tail Delivery.
Last night about it o’clock, says the Nash
ville Patriot, eleven prisoners in the county
Jail escaped. They unlocked the large door by
some means and undermined the wall in tho
yard, making an aperture in the stone and
brick largo enough to crawl through. This
makes twenty-two prisoners that have escaped
within a mouth past.
Sebastopol.
Tlie Russian Government intend to make
Sebastopol a magnificent city. A letter from
Constantinople says the attempt made to get
up the fragments of the vessels sunk at the
mouth of the harbor appears likely to prove
successful.
A Living Letter.
It is related by the celebrated historian He
rodotus, that Histans, the Milesian, being de
tained a prisoner by Darius, aud all corres
pondence interdicted, lie shaved a man’s head,
wrote a dispatch upon it, and kept the man
out of sight till his hair was grown. The liv
ing letter was then sent, and the person to
whom he was addressed, upon shaving the
messenger’s head, found it there inscribed.

were tight, and arrivals from the interior were
delayed by want of labor.

A Great Invention.

Brevity.
A merchant, at the season of business de
pression, received from one of his customers
at a distance, in answer to a, previous dun, n
letter minting his difficulties and requesting
time. The merchant paced liis Counting room
with lowering brow, and stopping suddenly,
turned to his clerk, and said :
” Write to that man without delay.”
The paper was ready, and the pen filled with
ink, but not receiving any nies ago for some
.moments, the clerk uskedy
“ Whit shall 1 write
“ Something or nothing, and that very
quick.”
Hack to his desk wont tho clerk, and rapid
ly moved his fingers over the paper. The let
ter was scut to tho office, and by return of mail
came a letter from the customer, inclosing the
money in full. The merchant, with glistening
eyes read the letter arid hastening to his clerk”
ho said:
” What did you write to
” l wrote just what you told me, and kept a
cop\ of the letter.”
Going to his letter book, and opening it, he
found the following;
“ Dear sir; Something or nothing, and that

That letter brought the money.
COHN SONG.
nr j. o. wamnsfi.
Heap big'li tlit formers wintry board t
Heap high-the gotten corn !
No richer gift has Autumn poured
From nut her lavish horn !
Lot other lands, exulting, glean
The apple from tho tine.
Tho orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We butter love tho hardy gill
Our rugged vales hestow,
To eheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest Helds with snow.
Through vales of grass, and meads of flowers,
Our ploughs their furrows made,
While on the hills tho sun aud showers
Os changeful April played.
Wft dropped the Seed o’er hill aud plain,
Beneath the run of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
,U 1 through the long, bright days of June,
Its leaves grew bright and fair,
Aud waved in hot midsummer's noon,
It.- soft and yellow hair.
Am', now with Autumn’s moonlit eyes.
Its harvest time ha-, come.
Ue pluck away its frosted-leaves,
And bear the treasure home.
There, richer than the tabled gifts,
Apollo showered of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift,
Aud km-ad its meal of gold.
1s t vapid idlers 101 l in silk,
Around their costly board;
(live us Hie bowl of sump and milk,.
By homespun beauty poured,
IVhoro’er tho wild old kitchen hcarlh
Scuds up its smoky eurls,
Wiio will not thank the kindly earth,
And hlesß tin farmer gills;
Then shame on all the proud and vain.
Whose folly laughs to 8 corn
The blessings of our hardy grain,
Onv wealth of golden corn.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Lot mildew blight the ryo,
Give to the worm the orchard's fruit.
The wheat-iield to the fly.
Hut let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod ;
Still lot us, for the golden born,
b'end up our thanks to God.

Sam’s Afflictions.
Our American friends oft times visit our
