Singular Account of the Apalaohiss9
Iudiaua. 4.

The history of the West Indies, by Roche
fort. in 1851, contains an interesting, but Inn
probable account of the Florida IndiansTof
that day. They are represented as dressing
with a degree of barbaric tastei living in
houses of stakes, rooted with reeds and the
ifbpervious gum of a tree, and hoored with
cement; sleeping on rude bedsteads, with
beds of skins and sacks stuffed with down,
and laid over with ornamented peltries; and
eating with a splinter of bone, used as q
fork. Their food was vegetables - never
flesh until the Europeans came--and their
drink water. kind Of beer, and beverage
made with honey. They were remarkably
industrious, having all their lands in COM
mon, and working under their Chiefs in
bataiions. They had various musical instru-
ments in which they were skilful, and were
addicted to singing, and of amiable and
teaehable disposition. They traded among
! themselves, and had currency of different
colored grains. ', g,aU.-.l
were always among relatives, any other being
considered disreputable. They only fought
for elfdefense, using bows, war-clubs, slings,
| and iayelins. They spared all who asked
| mercy in war, and only scalped the slain.
Their priests were also physicians, and they
worshipped the sun, to which they offered
songs and prayers, every morning ana even
ing. They had great religious celebration
four times q year, when they burn incense,
had songs and dances, and let fly sacred
birds. They believed in, the Immortality Of
the soul, and had traditions Of the deluge.
Tbe bodies of the dead were 'embaimed be-
fore burial. In the morning they. used TO
cut eff some of their hair, but on the death
of the king shaved the whole crown, ana
kept il bare three years, during which time
the royal corpse remained unburied, There
were still few of these Indians left in l75S

try where it might be destined to rule; but
he was absolutely aOithott the qsedns necessary
for the Journeys He was residing at Amor
bach, a small town in Germany, and from
there wrote to his relations and friends IN

Extraordinary Double BIopemcnt Two

The Holmes County (ohio) Farmer relates
an amusing incident in this very singular
style:
On Tuesday Of last week, while standing
on the platform of the depot-building at
Crestline, waiting for the train to start east
ward, a train arrived from the East. The
first persons we recognized getting from the
train were w. X. Scott and the wife Of Levi.

They readily recognized us, cameup to where
we were, and after theLusual salutations in
quired when train would leave for. Belle

each other, and without uttering word
"pitched inton one of the liveliest free fights
we have ever been called upon to witness.
The way the ribbons, bonnetsr collars and
fancy fxings few was refreshing to milliners
and mantau-makers. This excited Scott and
Johnson, and they were 50 sorely grieved at
each other for running away with their re-
spective wives that they went into pugilistic
exercise with hearty good will. The claret
flew delightfully."-, the store clothes were ruff
| fed and the swearing went on in line style.
| A great many persons were gathered around
but no one caring much which of the parties
| whipped, they encouraged the hgnt and
laughed at the sport. While the fights were
progressing Constable Smith stopped the

Mayor, and his honor fined each Of them So
and cost for breaking the peace. 10.

Mrs. Scott, as did Joseph those of Potipher's
wife, had also planned an elopenient to be

Romantic Love Affair in Havana-A Fa-
vorfte Slave Girl Commits Suicide 20
Avoid Punishment. 5''i ti a 't-
The Havte correspondent ofthe New York
Times writes on the 18th Instant
| mentioned in my last letter, dated the
18th inst, that mulatto girl fssvoritee
slave Of the Count of Villa Nueva, who had
committed some serious fault for which she
had been threatened TO be hogged and to be
sent TO the sugar-e estate to work in the field,
had few days previously thrown herself
from the balcony Of the residence OF the
Count, and had thus committed suicide. My
research into this matter has led to the dis
covery Of as pretty q piece OF gossip or
scandal as have heard in many a day.
During the past summer, or previously, in
the country, q young, poor and respectable
man was introduced to the family Of the
Count, by whom he was received with the
customary and we'll known courtesy and
kindness of that family. The Countess has
a daugbter--the Count being her second
husband. For this young lady, the young
gentleman before alluded to formed sim
cere attachment, which was reciprocated by
the young lady. g!i 5I. .JI
Her father-in-law and her mother having
refused their consent to the marriage OF the
young people, application was made by the
gentleman to the Captain General, to inter-
pose his authority, for according to Spanish
law, o lady having arrived at the years of
maturity has a right to demand certain
portion of the property of her parents as her
| dowry,, and to marry whom she pleases. q
His Excellency, the Captain-G General sent
an eseribulo (notary public to the residence
| of the Count to make the necessary inquiries
into the subject. The Count referred him to
the young lady's motheE, saying she was moi
his child. The Countess wisely referred the
'escribuno to the younglady herself, who said
by esln There was no power on earth thai
i could prevent her, and she would marry the
4 man to whom she had given her hearts at
i fections. With this information the escribunt
returned TO His Excellency, the Captain
General, and thus the matter. stood. Th'
unfortunate slave girl who destroyed he
life was the lady S maid of the young. lady
and it being supposed she had lent her al
to the young people in their courtship, sh
was threatened as above stated by her mas
ter. Thinking it probable in bis anger tina
the threat might be carried into execution
the poor slave preferred death TO such crue
treatment for an offense of which3sh ha
never been guilty. }isl " ,liI oa- "
