The contemplate practice Of

still too prevalent in CHS country
One took placs in an adjoining town
last week, in which the 'horners got
the worst Of it. A lady, W o had

to a gentleman residing some dis

He gave her.a plentiful. dose Of ipe.

The night of the Wedding came,
and with it the tin pan serenaders
The marriage ceremony bad scarcely

bride and bridegroom we're saluted
with mos: hideous sounds from with

Burning Of a Slave in Alabama.

We find. the following account of
the burning. Of a slave at Abbe vile,
Ala, in, the, Eufaula Native The
crime for which he was burned Was
the murder Of his master: 49, - sgs
A. large ooncourse of people was
assembled at -Abbeyille, numbering
from 1000 to 5000. The negro
was taken f ON the jail by the guard;
no opposition was offered by. the
Sheriff. The place was arranged
before, the negro arrived. A green
pine stake was set in the ground
firmly, aud around that a pile Of fat
pine was arranged; in diameter about
six feet and about four feet high. He
was bound head and feet to the pole
and before fire was placed to the pole
the wretch made the following con-
fession, "that he had murdered bis
master, but would not have done it
had it not have been for. two white
men," He made some other con-
fessionss duplicating a white man, and
another negro, in the affair. re-
Our inform ant says, that when he
left the fire had already consumed
his head, legs and feet, and that they
were piling on more wood TO finish the
body.

The PuzzleS Answered.
PETERSBURG, Feb. Is, 1857.


Mr.. EDIroR-Sir:: | send the an.
swers TO the Puzzles in your paper,
with a rule for finding the first one.
In dividing any number of things in
the manner the Sheep were divided, a
remainder will always be lift. BY
adding l to that remainder, it will give
the last share or the number in the
last share. By multiplying the last
share by 2, it will give the share pre-
ceding it; by 4, the next preceding
share; by 8 the next, and by 16 the
next. and 50 on by doubling the null
tipller you can get all of the shares.
Or by multiplying the first share by
2, and the share thus obtained by 2,
will give the next preceding, and 50
on by multiplying the shares as they
are found by 2 will always give the
preceding share The first share is
always twice as great as the share Inn
mediately following it, and SO Of all
the other shares. All the shares ex-
Icept the last, are always an even num-
Der, and tie last may be even or not,
according to the number divided
By adding the shares, with the re.
Emainder, together, they will give the
number divided. The man after d.
viding his Sheep had twelve remain
ing. Now add l to II it makes Is,
this multiplied by 2 makes rs, this
again multiplied by 2 or Is by 4
makes 81. The first man, then, got
I52 Sheep, the second &c, and the
third -. Now add these shares with
the II that were left. and they make
i103, the number of Sheep the man at
first had. This can be proved by re-
tracing the steps, commencing at l03,
and dividing it by 2 and adding Ito
the product, will give the first mans
share; subtract this share from the
number of Sheep, il03, and it viii
leave 81, which dividing by 2 and add
ing J again to the product, will give
the second mans share; subtract this
share from 81, and it will leave %,
which divided bv 2 with added to
the product, will make Ii, the last
mans share; subtaact this from %,
and it gives Il, the number remaining.
The whiskey was divided by first
filling the 5 gallon key from the s
gallon keg, then filling the 8 gallon
key from the 5 gallon keg, and then
emptying the 8 gallon keg into the s
gallon keg. There are now 2 gallons
in the 5 gallon keg,, and 6 gallons in
the s gallon keg. Now empty the 2
gallons from the 5 gallon keg into the
5 gallon keg. Eli the . gallon keg
from the s gallon keg; this leaves l
gallon in the 5 gallon keg. Then fill
the 8 gallon keg, already with 2 gal
Ions in it, from the five gallon key.
This leaves 4 gallons in the 8 gallon
key, 3 gallons in the 3 gallon keg,
and gallon in the s gallon key. Emp
| ty the 3 gallon keg into the s gallon
keg, and you have 4 gallons in the 5
gallon key, and 4 gallons in the Sgal-
lon key. w. lis.

HON. GEO. W..JONES.

The ShelbyyiIle Constitutionalistr
says the Hon. GeosW w. Jones viii be
a candidate for reelection to Congress.
S.5staad outofths way ye democrats
who are aspiring to tho succession
Two years ago, Mr. Jones declined
on account Of bad health to run; but
finally consented, to prevent breach
in the party ranks. Theeompensatien
! of members of Congress has since
been increased to only about eighteen
dollars 9 day. Possibly the honor
able member from the Lincoln dis
trict. has not Yet laid up any treasure;
but desir's to have a chance at the
increased rations for that purpose
NashriNe Patriot. ! II
! 10 the above the Coastitutionalist
very Justly Observes
!. We thought that the Patriot had
more courtesy than to make charge
fof dishonesty against as high toned
a gantlem an as ever graced the Halls
of Congress-. Has the Patriot any
foundation upon which it attributes
such base and mercenary motives to a
man of high honor, integrity and vir-
tue?
"Oh shrine where is thy blushl"
II we are not in error, the Hon.
Geo. w. Jones was an opponent to
the. Increase Of pay to members of
Congress. and recorded his vote
against it. Was It hatred to Democ-
racy as whole. or to Lincoln Democ-
racy in particular that led our neigh
Dor to make a charge of dishonesty
against the Hon. G.. W. Jones. We
hope, that they will, upon reflection
withdraw the charge and do full
justice to the Representative from
this Congressional District. Th'.re
is no me mber in Congress that has
watched with such an eagle eye over
public interests, aud has wared and
battled corruption of every grade and
character, as has done G.. w. Jones.
Though saddler he has more liz
Aqenee than ali the New England
!, members, says a writer, and by his
Watchfulness and promptness to resist
any eneroachment upon the public
treasury, says another, he has obtain
ed for himself the sou5nqaet--"the
watch, gdog of the Treasury" And
yet the Patriot has been lost to the
acts OF. this guardian of the people S
interests, and ignorant of his acts in
battling corruption of every species,
also, OF having voted against the
very measure upon which the Patriot
attributes to him m 'rcenary motives,
