vance to establish. order; but, oh shame!
they beheld the head of Mussulman
lying next to that of Jew. "The Is
raelite dogs have committed this sacri-
lege. Down with the cursed race!''
resounded on all sides. In a moment
they rushed into the Jews houses, and
commenced burning and pallaging all
they were enabled to lay hold Of; but
their vengeance increased to still
greater degree, when on examining
the head they recognized it to be that
of their favorite aga. Their rage now
knew no bounds. and several bodies of
the same corps arriving to join their
comrades, formidable revolt menaced
the whole city, when the tumult at
length reached the ears Of the Sultan.
His grand vizier and principal officers
were Immediately dispatched to the
spot, and upon the Jannlssaries being
promised in his name that justice
should be rendered to them, they were
in much difficulty persuaded to retire
to their quarters.
At the first news of the tumult, the
Sultan OWNED It's cause, and dispatch
&c the tailor's guide, whowas no other
than faithful slave, to inquire Of Hus-
sein what he had done with the head
that he had borne to his house the pre-
ceding night. The tailor Immediately
related how his wife had taken it to
the baker. The slave then applied to
the latter, where he learnt the manner
he had passed it on to the barber; and
the latter, in his turn, owned the way
he had disposed of ii; and lastly, the
Greek recounted how he had placed it
by the side of the Jews head.
Upon the report of the slave, the
Sultan wished to know the different
parts of the story related to him per-
sonally by those who had been actors
therein. The tailor and his wife, the
baker and his son, the barber and the
Greek, were all summoned into his
presence, and after each had given his
relation, were, with the exception of
the Greek, dismissed with rich presents
in testimony of his satisfaction at their
ingenuity. The unfortunate Greek
was sewn up in sack and thrown in
to this Bosphorus, to punish him for his
audacity in placing the head of a Mus
sulman near that of a Jew.
AS to the head of the aga,i had been
struck off by the order Of the sultan, in
consequence ofthe great influence this
officer exercised over the Jannissaries.
Many times had the order been given
to that effect without being executed;
and this time, to make sure of obedi-
ence, he had commanded the head of
the aga tobe brought into his presence,
and to prevent the discovery of his de-
capitation, Hussein had been thus con-
Quoted by night to the sultan, and the
head OF the aga placed in the packet
delivered to the former. Fate ordained
the rest

To the Business Men of philadelphia

The practice OF advertising in country news
papers, by the business men of cities, is begin.
ming TO attract, pretty generally, the notice OF
,hose interested. 1t is practice which canno,
fail, in our opinion, TO be of great advantage TO
them. By inserting their advertisement in a
country newspaper, their names and business
become at once known TO large number of
persons, who would probably otherwise never
have known of their existence. For years past,
our country merchants generally confined their
purchases to few old stands in the ciiy-sim-
ply because they were unknown and had no di.
seeion TO others. We are prepared 10 say.
that thousands of dollars have been taken TO
Philadelphia, from this distric, of country, and
expended where they would not have been, If
our merchants had only known Of the wherea-
bouts Of the places Of business Of others who
dealt in the same articles. This at glance,
proves The importance of country advertising
In Monroe and Pike counties there are many
storekeepers and traders, who deal nearly, if
moi quite, altogether in Philadelphia The re-
sources and wealth of the counties are great,
and The population is rapidly increasing--as a
matter of course, the business must increase in
an equal proportion. To draw the entire trade
10 Philadelphia, her business men have but to
make known the superior advantages our mer-
chants will enjoy by doing business with them.
This can be done in no way SO effectually as
by advertising in one of our newspapers. And
Tor that purpose We recommend the Jefersonian
Republican. II circulales extensively, and is
seen and read by all the business men of Mon.
roe and Pike counties. Our terms are very
reasonable--and for the purpose Of a6ording
