The NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE.-Accordng to Pliny,
fire was long time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptians; ard when Exodus (he celebrated astrono-
mer showed it to them, they absolutely in rap

other nations acknowledged that their ancestors were
once without the of fire. and the Chinese confess
the same of their progentors. Pompanion Mola,
Putarch and other ancents speak of nations who at
the time they wrote knew the use of fire. or had
just learned it. Facts of the kind are also at
tested by several modern nations. The inhabitants Of
the Marian Islands, which were discovered in 1851,
had no idea Of fire. Never was astonshment greater

Remarkable maTCiaEe---B e-
IrOxhed 80 three Brothers.

We have been given the particulars
of a case i'm this county. in which the
bride was betrothed 10 three brothers,
and married two of them. which is
rather remarkable:
On the 9th of August. 1866, young
man came 10 Americas and procured
license to marry an estimable young
lady residing several miles from this
city; went home. and was married in
the afternoon of that day. lie was
attacked by congestive chill, which
terminated in his death the following
Saturday-the stricken bride follow
ing his remains TO their last resting
place. clothed in the same suit in which
her heart had been made glad by be-
coming his bride.
On the following August. (lSG7) the
second brother of the same family,
came to Americas, for the same pur-
pose which had brought the deceased
one year previous. On his way home

making the worthy widow of his los.
brother his own bride--he was caught
in heavy rain. and arrived at home
with his clothing thoroughly Satur-
ated-from which he was taken with
q Congestive chill the same evening.
and died the evening previous to their
marriage, which was TO have taken
place the following Sabbath. Again.
instead of listening TO the merry ring

The Summit Times states that
it lis becoming known to the
"farmers that Mr.. Charles Viii.
" liams,of Jackson,mak the best
'plows of any manufacturer in the
country" The superiority of the
Williams plows over those OF
foreign manufacture, is so we'll
established am ong the farmers of
his vicinity, that the latter are
scarcely ever in requisition. Be
sides, it is sold at exceedingly
moderate rates.
When once trial is made OF
the Williams manufacture, it in
variably superce1es the use OF
Others. There can be no better
evidence of its value.
The New York World quotes
and approves the following clause
from the Confederate Constitu-
ton:
1.-THE principal officers in each OF
| the executive departments. and all
persons connected with the diplomatic
! service. may be removed from once
at the pleasure of the President. All
other civil officers of the executive
departments may be removed at any
| time by the President or other APP
pointing power when their services
are unnecessary. or for dishonesty
incapacity. inefficiency. misconduct
or neglect of duty; and when so re.
moved. the removal shall be reported
to the Senate together with the reason:
therefor"
1t would be glad to see thii
provision transplanted into the
Federal Constitution, and does
not doubt that it and the ineligi
bility of the President for a sec
ond term, would remedy tn
abuses of the Government patron
age which threaten to subvert GU
MS titutions.

The Trying Season.

The searching winds, the cold. driZ-

sional warm and moist days Of MAJ CHI,
render il, upon the whole, the most
unhealthy month of the year. Its de-
pressing influences are especially I'M
favorable to invalids, and thousands
of persons with feeble constitutions,
who have borne the winter bravely,
break down in the first month OF

ttre and cold east winds are q serious

NEW YORK, March rs, 1863.
Dear Clarion Having been at some
pains to ascertain the best mode of
shipping from this city to Mississippi,
! am compelled to pronounce in favor
of the Virginia and Tennessee Air
Line. | made the acquaintance, to-
day, of Mr.. c. f. Evans, the General
Eastern Agent of this Line, and found
him to be the right man in the right
place" Freights, by this Line, go by
steamers to Norfolk, and thence, by
rail, to almost any point South. The
rates to Jackson, for instance, are as
follows, for each one hundred pounds:
lst class-$l 9s; ID clasS-$l IS; 81
class-$1 46; 4th class--$l 20. This
line has an arrangement with the Mis-
sissippi Central and the New Orleans
and Jackson Roads, but thus far Nj.
Evans has not been able to effect an
arrangement with points on the Vicks-
burg and Meridian Road. 1t is to be
hoped that such "A thing can be accom-
plished, as it would greatly reduce the
present through rates, in having Il
more direct line with a large portion
of our State. As matters now stand,
4 merchant at Forest will get his goods
to Jackson at the rates above named,
whereas, in getting them to his store,
he is required to pay the local rates
on the Vicksburg Road. This is a

ACCIDENTALLY kILLED.-Henry
Hemingway, a colored man, well

classes Of our citizens, disappeared
from this city on the night of W ednes
dav. 2ith ult. His non-appearance at
his home. however, did not create an
alarm for two or three days, for he
frequently absented himself for days
alta time when he would be on spree.
Oh sunday, however. it was supposed
he had been lost, when search was
made for him without success. Yes
terday morning his body was found
In the creek. some thirty feet below
the railroad bridge. a coroners jury
was summoned, the body taken out
and examined by DIR. Carter, City
Physician, when dreadful cash was
discovered upon the back of the head,
which the Surgeon pronounced to
have been caused by the conclusion of
the "pilot" Of a locomotive, evil
IDENTIFY on the Southern Railroad.
The only solution arrived at Is, that
he being stupid with drink, and cross
ing the railroad bridge on his way
home, lit was proven that he crossed
at that point more frequently than at
any other,) the train was approaching
and ne tried to save himself by getting
down on the sleepers under the bridge,
but did not succeed. The jury render
ed verdict in accordance with the
above facts. As before stated, Henry
was highly esteemed by all who knew
him, he having been a resident Of this
city for twenty-five or thirty years,
was well known To all our citi-
zens. AT the election in June last, he
showed his appreciation of the people
with whom he had been associated
from boyhood, by adhering to the
democratic party.
