Leesburgh has a cariosity for Bar nura. It a chicken, one week old, without eyes. A panther was killed recently near Leesburgh measuring nine and a half feet in length. South Florida is indeed building j up. Quite a number of new residen ces are being erected iu Tampa. The Key .West people are fond of irish potatoes. Twelve hundred bar-' rels are consumed there nut’uaSiy. A painter by the name of Thomp son is swindling hotel keepers in Flor- j ida. Ho was iu Lake City when last i heard from. The President has ordered the ex penditure of the SIO,OOO appropriat ed to Cedar Keys harbor, by the last' River and Harbor bill. Fernandina thinks that palm trees ought to grow within its incorporat ed limits as well as in the East. An experiment is being made. Cotton growing in some localities I is profitable. In Jackson county a planter made sixty bales of cotton with two mules hist seqsou. A deaf mute of the colored persua sion was recently indicted fur the 1 murder of a negro iu Marion county. He was allowed bail in tho sum ol j SI,OOO. Barnes & Leverett’s sign is still among the missing links of the sign board fraternity. Harness and shoe : making still their business.

Over $5,000 has been subscribed. SIO,OOO will suffice. C. A. Rideout, a colored lawyer of Mouticello, attempted an elopement iu “high life,” taking off the colored Senator’s daughter with him, (Mench am’s) to a neighbor’s bouse. The parson declined to tie the nuptial knot, and the “ gal” scampered back to the “sweet” embrace of papa. And so runneth the “ nigger.” Andrew Fell, a negro, who was re cently convicted in the Circuit Court for Jefferson county, sworo that he would resist to tho bitter end all ef forts tojtfhu him serve in tho chain gang, being one day Hast week, made good his threat, and forced the sheriff to try the persuasive power of a stick, which brought the claret from the li ning membrane covering his thick skull. He yielded to the vigorous treatment, and went immediately to grasping a Leo handle. So much for Radicals teaching that a negro should not be punished for crime. Tho “ chain-gang,” which has to some extent lost its terrors with the negroes ini Georgia, is very much dreaded in Florida. In Monticello last week, when tho prisoners were led from jail to a colored blacksmith’s shop, there to bo manacled, a howl of indignation rent tho air, and the col ored women made threats that may cause them to be in tho same fix soon er or later. This is what comes of Radicals upholding crime, and not punishing tbe negroes when deserv ing it. In fact, negroes do not wish to be punished, but they like exceed ingly well to steal and pilfer, For tlio Quitman Reporter. EA. xuuurui i. Of all t,hc incidents in a seaman's life there aro nouo which appal the j mind equal to a ship in flames on the | broad expanse of ocean, or tho watch ing of a vessel iu the distance which is beaiing down upon him with nil | speed, her square rig and raking j masts and suspicious movements un mistakably proclaiming her occupa tion and intention, and it requires not tho display of the death’s head and cross-bones to impress upon the mind that she is a pirate. In either case first impressions are agreeable, but as the danger increases and th# doom ap pears to be inevitable, tho agony of mind depicted upon every countenance denotes the silent working of the soul within, and the heart-rending cry of despair which escapes from feminine lips, which are ever imploring help where help cannot come —when, how-1 ever stoical a man may be, he views his own case while looking upon that of others, and the brave and proud soul melts, not from tho heated ele- j meet nor from tho contemplation of his own prospective doom, but tlio agonizing scene which surrounds it. Wo will in tho first place turn our attention to the lurid scene which a vessel on fire at sea presents (in too ut%y instances in reality ) to tho im agination at a distance, and we sec a noble ship careering under a mighty pressure of snowy canvas, cleaving her way on the briny element, hasten ing back to the port she had first left freighted with the rich productions! of Asiatic climes, and a living throng of Eve’s descendants, who, banished long from kindred and the homes of their ancestors—from duty or neces sity—are returning to erabraeo tho joys which, during a tedious separa tion, had been heaped in store for the expected wanderers. The sun in low latitudes generally j displays himself iu unwearied spleu-! dor, and tho well regulated trades i create a feeling of security which is j indulged iu not only by tho expo- j riouced seaman, but even the inox-! perionced voyager feels its influence, i which gives rise to and encotuagesl bright hopes of a speedy and joyous ; return to long absent friends and tbe j home of their nativity. It is these thoughts, aided by the glory of the I •surrounding and over changing scene j that helps to destroy the monotony I of a long sea voyage, when occupation J is wanted to keep away the ennui which time unemployed inevitably j produces. Thus it is with the passenger at sea; I each day brings its anxiety, its ennui | and the earnest desire lev a safe and j speedy passage, but tbo ship, un-! wearied by the pressure of the grate- j ful breeze, pursues her onward course,! nor fuels nor heeds the smouldering j heat which combustion, partially sti fled for tbe want of air, labors slowly but surely until ignition is produced, and the dread element, subtle in its work as it is destructive in its power, attains irresistible sway ero its pres ence is manifested to its terror and awe stricken victims, who, lulled into security by tho tameness and beauty ! of equatorial skies and rcr.o, tbe healthy influence of a balmy atmos- j phere, and the bright hopes of the ; future, have sought nature’s sweet! restorer in the quiet and solitude of their berths, for the shades of night have succeeded to the unveiled light of a cloudless day. But whilst the physical portion of humanity retrieves exhausted power from refreshing sleep, that immortal part, the mind—which never tires nor stoops to rest—is threading its elec tric way o’er scenes familiar to its occupant, iu which it gloried in time past; or it is reveling with imaginary objects like itself—though embodied in form and in speech most natural—■ anticipating matter, which awake, dwelt upon tho subject that gives subsistence to tlie apparently disem bodied part and furnishes action for its energies, which causo pleasure or I disquietude according to the scene presented to tho unconscious dupe of his own imagination, for such ho is who dreameth. But hark ! Surely this is not a dream, though ’tis tlie dreamy hour of night. A shudder passes through the frames cf those who lately slept, as the cry of “Fire! the ship’s on tire!” is heard, and man and woman and child in the moment of alarm forgetful of their denuded state, rush with terror to tho deck to ascertain tho extent of danger, as also the probabilities attached to their fate, , which too soon, alas, they discover; and hope, Which suctaineth all things unto tho end, is unable to alleviate I the despair and agony which hangs i upon every countenance ore tho ex tent of the danger is fully developed, for as yet tho flames had not burst forth. But tho suiell of fire proeced | iug from the ship’s Hold is too un mistakable to admit a doubt of the fact. Tlie braces are manned, the balm put down and the ship is hove to; the head pumps are rigged and hose at tached, which were extended to the fore hatch, as the fire seemed forward of that, the scent being strongest in tbe top-gallant forc-castle. Every thing being prepared for action, the hatch is unbattened, the tarpaulins torn off, and the fore hatch is jerked from the combings, when smoke and flame hitherto pent up together, rushed with impetuous force to the aperture, as if to escape and act in dependently of each other. The crew fell back from heat and suffocation, the pumps played their part iu the exciting drama, and bucket after bucket \Vi*a brought into requisition that they might aid in checking and subduing the flames, which had gain ed too much headway ere it was dis covered, and which now bade defiance to the opposing element. Exertions almost superhuman are made by crew and passengers, the officers devising and bringing to bear j every ingenuity that human skill or | thought can suggest to quench the dread element, which is now exerting j itself to accomplish its work of de- j struetion. Each cheek is paled with fear, the sweat of exertion and also of j agony is standing on every brow, and despair gives energy to hopeful but fruitless labor, for the subtle element is gaining upon them. Still, it is necessary the flame should bo kept in check while prepa ration is going on to leave the ship, which '.b.tty devolves upen tho pas sengers, aided by a few of tho crew. The ladies had been requested to , attend to their toilet and to be pre ! pared for any emergency. One has fainted, another is parlysed with fear, while another obeyed instructions as best she could while trying to alle viate tho sufferings of those less ] nerved for the task which fato had set before them. [to de continued.] Col. IV. J. Ltnvlon. The following reference to anew | but valued citizeu of Jacksonville is from the Atlanta Georgia Grange: We were rejoiced to meet Colonel W. J. Lawton, who has been in the State but one year. He has a home on the banks of tho St. Johns, only four miles from the city, but is en gaged in business in Jacksonville. He lias always been a persevering, ener getic and enterprising man, and will, no doubt, do good service in bis newly adopted State. His impress can bo seen in many portions of Georgia. The building of tho railroad from Americus to Albany is largely due to tho work of his head and hands.. Macon owes much to his enterprise, and especially iu tho erection of that magnificent main building, “Mercer University.” His whole soul, mind and body was devoted to that build ing, from tho very foundation stone : ■ to the spire which kisses tho clouds. It stands there to-day, and will cou- I tinue, perhaps, for a century to come, I as an enduring monument to his un selfish devotion to the cause of edu cation, for he worked for more than a year without one dollar of remu neration. These aro flush tines for the build ing trade at Jerusalem. A corres pondent of tbe London Tunes says that the new blocks meet the eye everywhere; along the Jaffa road, and and on both the north and west sides Of the city, extensive buildings are in course oi erection; and even within tho walls, near to the reputed tomb of David, another large group of ten ements is being built. These .new buildings are designed for Jews of different nations, and are erected by societies to be lot or sold in tenements of two rooms each. The pool- are to be provided with homes for a given time rent free, and those who are able to bo permitted to purchase their ! habitations by periodical payments on ! principle similar to those of English building societies. Until a recent date the Jews in Jerusalem had then quarter, as iu many Continental cities: but they have now tho utmost freedom ! to purchase property wherever they ! can obtain sites, within or outside the ; city walls, and to locate themselves i wherever they can liud residences. ! This freedom is causing a great in ! eroaso to the Jewish population c! the ! humbler class. - ' Frudbiiici: fl.
