A celebrated Indian iloelrcf. anil fortune-teller lifts 1 icate-t in .Tachson ville. A slight frost was observed in the vicinity of Jacksonville, by early users, on the 11th instant. One planter in Jackson county had forty bales of cotton blown out of the bolls by tho recent storm. Jackson county will havo r. fair on the lotli of November, and or.c of its features will be a baby show. The town council of Gainesville lias levied a special tax of $25 on ev ery business bouse in that town. A merchant at Drifton, Jefforsoi county, shipped recently four hundred chickens to Jacksonville at one time. Several intending settlors, residing, in other States, have lately purchased large tracts of land hi 1 iillsborougb county; The prisoners were transferred from the old to the new yiil in Madison Inst week. It is said to lie a safe building. It is reported that $5,000 worth o f land iu Alachua county was disposed of to new settlers in one week dirriiv {lie past liionth. The Treasurer of the municipal government in Montie 110 the ot ! pr day scooped in S2O from 'two helligi r ant colored individuals. The Circuit, Court for Madit-oi county was in session last week; an 1 a good number of civil and criminal cases were disposed of. A bull Manatee, ten feet long and weighing 1500 pounds, arrived at Jacksonville Thursday. It was caught on Indian river in a net. Tho Florid iah publishes an accom. of the financial status of Leon c< unty, and finds that the debts outstanding October 1, ainouut to $24,5 >4.22. A gin house, with eight bales o* cotton and a quantity of cotton seed, ! was burned last week in Leon county’. i It was the work of an incendiary. Tho Rev. E. M. M.

The fort in St. Augustin: is now the principal place of a Fraction f>r strangers visiting that city. T' ; In dian school there is said to be doing Very well. During tho month of September there wore shipped from the depot a 1 MadiSou 3R4 bales of cotton, against 528 halos tho same limn last year, and 382 in 1875. The Court llouso at Brooksville, Hernando county, with all the county records, was destroyed by lire one night last week. It w&s the work > f in incendiary. Tho gale was severe at Coday lvoys —washing away portions of the wharves, wrecking Hovei'id I mats, and washing down some of the concrete buildings being put lip. Tho St. Press says “a good season is anticipated this win ter. Letters of inquiry are already being orpfffsCly received by hotel and boarding-house keepers.” ThAgrowth of Sanford has been so rapid this year that the citizens deem it necessary to incorporate it, which will bo d'ono on the 29th in ;fc., by the election of the proper officers. Tho people of Middle Florida' are talking about having a Fair at Talla hassee. Tho press of that section j favors the move, and wo do not see ; why they should not consolidate the middle counties and get up a rousing . F air. The War. At least, if to-day’s telegrams ' ins j Ijo relied on, we have a;i ei in thi j dreary Russo-Tnrkish war. Tb l!u> 1 sinus have surprised them lvr- u: and the world by a display of mmr stra. - | ogie resources. Muhktar Rish-i's. a i my has been well nigh d-slrow and, and, apparently, Asia Miucfr is left nut ! stantiully without defe so. j The details of this important ovei 1 are given with considerable amplitude | and circumstantiality, in the dispatch es to-day, to which we refer lh. read er. A flanking column had been sent out to assail Muhktar Pasha’s position in the rear, and on Monday a general assault was begun in front. Every position of his army was carried raid ,hi.; army itself split in hro and utt- r !' ly routed. The left and centre was ! pursued with great slaughter into j Ears, while the right was forced to I capitulate, and surrmdered lnrg stores of military supplit; -thirty-two car non and seven Pashas or general officers. This, for a time, leaves Asia Minor pretty nigh defenseless: The remnant of Muhktar Pasha’s army is shut up iu Kars, and its fate depends appar ently on the amount of supplies they find there. Unless they have a large quantity, they are at the mercy of the Russians. Meanwhile, the necessity of provid ing anew army to confront tho victo rious Russians in Asia Minor creates an untimely strain . n their r. sources, and may weaken their line of defense south of the Danube. Perhaps this may bo die beginning of determinate events in this so far insignificant war fare.—Macon Telegraph. Wilcox, Irwin and Montgomery counties will vote for Millfedgeville as the capital solidly, and Dooly, the ban ner county of the Third Congress ional district, will roll up a rousing majority for the old city. Pulaski, too, with hut a few dissenting votes, will help toswell the majority. Tlies. are facts and may be relied on. •hr people of that section may be counted ou as almost unanimously for the “Halls of Our Father.” It may be a sentiment, but somehow or oi : ■ r peo ple generally vote their sentiments when the opportunity is nreseuted. Tho Marianna (Fa. J U mrier says: “On Thdrsday night jest Mr. tiullei I Curl, living fifteen miles west 4 this j place, and one of our largest and most I successful planters, suspected hive 4- | ton was being ] inked at nig!4 from his fields, and en the night •>■ v. and, ] came across ft nr negroes in hi; i ! cst and best cotton, nicking will all their might.

The Lake City R.portr*' says: “From what we could glean from om country friends, the recent heavy rains have damaged the cotton crop of tin:- county, as near as.can.be ascertained between five and eight thousand dol lars. Only a small portion of the cotton was gathered before' the • rain, and nearly every one has suffered I more or less. For several days the I wind blew with great force, blowing; down trees and fences, and playing the mischief generally. The rains are al so reported as havmg and me great in jury to the crops and overflowing branches and roads, making travel difiicult.” The Midland Railway, of England, in which tho recently reported frauds he,ve occurred, is ue of the greatest English railways, its stocks and bonds amounting to $250,000,000. Tin latest rep >rts shows that t' o frauds are not by any means so’ serious as at first reported, and are not of a char acter to affect either its stock or bond issues or its financial stability. The colored people of Arkansas, ac cording to one of their number, have got the Liberia emigration into th ir heads so strongly that they firmly be lievo the national government will aid those who have not money eolmgh to pay their expenses to Africa. Lively Times.—Tho World of Fri day has been interviewing tiie leading merchants of New York, and heads two columns of reprint with this de claration: “Speculations dead and a cautious, legitimate business growing to a great, size. That is all right. The membefs of Christ Obiii'c’i, Boston, tho oldest church building ir the city, still use th'e Bible, pray book and si'lVervVar. which ware presented by King George 111. iu 1733. General Loring, now Luring Pasha of the Egyptian army, is expected to meet with his old Confederate regi ment, the First Tennessee, at Nash ville on the 25th instant. The Elkton (Maryland) papers re cord a miraculous shower of salt near North East, in Cecil e unity last week. Forty years ago not a missionary was allowed upon the Fi;i island:;; now 40,000'young Fijians attend t-jun day school. i he New York Sun thinks that if the Iroops of tho regular army on tho Rio (Irando, and in Montana, and in L’onn ! sylvftnia, mi l in California, and in all the frontier forts, an 1 on the Atlnti i ‘ic sea board, had been recalled last ■week and concentrated at command ing position in the State of Ohio, it would have been easy for Haves to v, i'ii the people there ef the dangers b voting oil tho wrong side. Tlietv ■re many shrewd Republicans in Washington, who lay the blame o! their defeat to -T. Sherman. It is quite probable, and is the talk of the quid nuncs that when the term of Stanley Mathews expires iu the Senate Slrer mav will be succeeded by him as Sec retary ■ f the Treasury. Th Postmaster Central has r.- e.flivetl a letter from an ex-1 uited | States District Attorney', of Michigan, j charging that Portar, just dismissed from tho second position in t.l e Post ! Office in Washiiigt.m under Edmunds, j wa ..lobbyist and eorrit] tionist of the | w rst sort. Th<writer ef tho letter ! offers to pr:.V6 that Porter received 1 818,000 for hit elf and his friends : f r securing the passage of the Por -1 erngo canal bill. Ho ofHrs to jirove, further, that Porter was a tool for men who app, ante 1 and kept him in power, and “divided” with one very prom inent, politician not named. The writer refers to Senators■ Christianity and David Davis as sponsors for his character. The political complexion of the South Carolina Senate, in which the | Republicans had a small majority last ■spring, has been so far changed by ! the resignation of Senators against ! whom corruption has recently been | proved that when tho Legislature • reassembles next month more than [ two-thirds of tho Senators will be i Democrats. A Columbia, dispatch i says: “Should Patterson he expelled j Governor Hampton will probably be j chosen to succeed him iu United States i Senate.” Judging from our telegrams tho democrats in the senate having things their own way so far as the confirma tion of Mr. Havas’ nominations are concerned,and tho situation is alluded to as a curiously' complicated one. However this may bo, the Gauntry can endure the complications if the dem ocrats have it in their power to control tl e nominations so as to compel the appeiutiuout to office of satisfactory persons. Fifteen States have yet to hold elec tions this fall. Louisiana, Massachu setts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebras ka, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, ; Pennsylvania. South Carolina, Ten nessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin ; vote on tho sixth of November, and i reorgia on the fifth of December. In addition, Illinois elects county officers 1 on November sixth.

We feel so good over the Ohio elec ! fion that we ean.’t muster up spitefnl j i ess enough to abuse Sherman dr tell j Hiij to go for Blaine. The beat, thing \ wo could do, and wo did it with'vim, i was to give a square rebel veil for the union and the constitution.—Chatta nooga Times. Senator Ivarna’.i, who never knew i how it feels to be enthusiastic over ■ anything, predicted in his Utica peech recently that New York will j elect a Democratic Legislature and the Dorn icratic State ticket by over 50j000 m tj irity. Eighty-three Ohio counties give Bishop, for governor, 24,(>81 majority. Three of the reuraining five counties are republicans, and will reduce his majority so as to leave it but a fraction over 23,000. Hayes will surely tied soft places for some of the disappointed Repub licans of Ohio. Ohio hasn’t had her share yet of the plunder. A St. Louis paper tells a story of a disconsolate widower, who, on seeing the remains of his late wife lowered in the grave, exclaimed, with tcai's in his eyes, “Well, I’ve lost umbrellas—* yes, even cows and horses; hut I nev er—-no never—had anything, to' cut me like this.” In Greece yon can always tell a mar ried woman by the way she dresses her hair.- Elmira Advertiser.
