LIGHTNING RODS!

In connection with the above business, the
subscriber has opened in Yazoo City,
A LIG HTNING ROD DEPOT,
where he will keep constantly on hand full sup
ply of superior Iron and Copper Lightning Rods,
Trimmings, &C.. the very best manufactured. He
is supplied with the latest and most approved
fixtures and appliances, and prepared to PITT UP
any description of Lightning Rod, in proper and
substantial manner, whenever and wherever de-
sired The materials he will use are warranted
genuine and inferior to none which art and sci
ence have produced. The Iron Rods are made of
carbonized annealed iron, with zin1 protectors,
combined with electro-positive elements in the
manufacture, making them equal to copper as
conductors. All the Rods are in ten feet lengths,
with accurately fitted brass screws, connecting
joints mounted with solid copper points, plated
with gold and silver, and surrounded at the base
with angular negative magnets, which possess the
power, to an extraordinary extent, of dschafging
the opposite elements of the most fearful thunder
storm. The fastenings and insulators are the
most ingenious and complete ever manufactured.
Taken as n whole, these Rods are far superior to
any yet introduced into this market, and the
most perfect silent conductors ever presented to
the public.
All orders in this, and the foregoing branch of
business promptly attended to, and satisfaction
guaranteed.

pn- 1t seems that Ben. NJ. Samuels,
the Democratic candidate for Congress
in this District, after attending the
burial of the dismembered remains of the
Democratic party at Baltimore, went to
Boston and made speech there. That
was all well enough, but it seems that he
laid aside that urbane manner that so
we'll becomes him, and INDUCED in "vul-
gar personalities. If Ben. cared not for
himself or his idol, Mr.. Douglas, he
should have remembered that the repu-
tation Of Iowa, or at least of Iowa Democ-
.acy was at stake. The Boston Post,
Democratic says:
at is a matter OF surprise to many,
that Mr. Samuels, Of Iowa, should have
descended to indulge in vulgar persoual-
tiles, and attempts at offensive With
cisms, in his speech here on Friday
night. Had the distinguished gentle
man he assailed been present to retort,
we are inclined to the belief Mr.. Samues
would have found consolation in the dis
covery Of hole in the Cushion of his
