| Mr.. Rowland Hills plan Of a penny,
postage has been partially tried as an ex
pertinent in Worcestershire. The post
age from Straud to Nailsworth, which
was formerly 4d, has been reduced to Id,

A CoNvERsIoN.-Mr Joseph Vince
lock keeper of the Columbian. House,
Mendon, Mass. professor of religion,
who has long been trying to show to the
world that good man may sell rum, If
ne does it IN right nag, has at length
become convinced that there is no right
aoag about it. and has banished the poison
from his premises. Whenever people can
learn to steal, rob, or murder, in a right
way, then, and not till then, may rum
selling become business which good
man may pursue with a peaceful con-
science. Tenn Ado.
MIssIssIPPI-A very able writer in
the Pine Woods Planter states the inter-
est on banking capital paid by the people
of Mississippi at SIC, 128, 900 per annum.
His enumeration of the various classes of
inhabitants is singular. He says there
are in the State thirty-fve thousand free
white male citizens over 81 years OF age
of this number he estimates that one
thousand are engaged in mining liquor,
seven hundred and fifty in making paper
money, about one thousand in the laudible
occupation of pleading l0v, expounding
the scriptures, manufacturing pills, and
teaching the young idea how to shoot
the aggregate number of idlers is esimat-
ed at three thousand six hundred and
: forty, leaving thirty-one thousand three
hundred and sixty persons engaged IN ag-
riculture, and commerce and the mechan-
c arts
J A New ENGLAND CoUNTy.-The
q county of Bristol, in Massachusetts, con.
tanned in 1880. 40, 474 inhabitants. 1t is

= ever left UNPUBLISHED, through the conniv'
ance of the public officers, or the inf1u
: ence of a false public sentiment. Viii
i our Southern readers then ponder the fol
r lowing paragraph, now going the rounds
e of the papers2-EmGncipatO'.
$, Sentence of death was on Thursday
e last pronounced by Chief Justice Shaw
