1--WE VESSELS SUPPOSED TO Be LOST.

Intelligence has been received at
Boston Of the supposed loss of the
brig j. w. Spencer, Of Boston,
which sailed from Nevassa Sept. IL,
bound to Charleston, South CARROLL
ma. Twenty-fOur hours after she
hailed, the terrific hurricane com
menced which caused so mucl,
damage, and it is feared that the
brig was lost, with all On board.
Her crew consisted of q ,pt. Joseph
Thomas, of Ellsworth, Maine; John
Albert DAw, fist mate, of Boston /;
Alfred b. Wilder, second mate, OF
Pembroke, Maine; j. Mannet Rode
quez, steward; WIN. Broone, Chas.
Broone, Peter Peterson, Jas. Perry
and A. Adams, seamen; all OF
whom shipped in New York. The
Spencer was good vessel, of 315
tons register, and owned in Boston,
valued at $4,000. When she sailed
she left at the island, the brig To
ronto, and the schOOners Moees
Patton and Nellie Chase, all OF
which put to sea during the hurri-
cane, and none of which have been
heari from, except the brig Toron-
to, which was seen drifting past
jamaica, dismasted and abandoned.
The schooner Wilmington sailed in
company with the Spencer, and it
is now nearly two months since the
three sailed. II is doubtful if either
of the five vessels or their crews
will ever be heard from.

GO TO WORK.

u Now that the election has been
held, aud the unprecedented poiti-
cal restrain and excitement OF the
season has passed away, the next
tlking of Importance to do is to the
people is IL little industrious work.

ITS Or repeated pledges to the peo-
rfH there will be no occasion for
complaint to any one. Let it have
IA fair tria!,and be judged ultimately
by the record it has made.
Meantime the matter OF first i'm
portance, to Republicans as well as
well as Democe ats, is to look after
their own personal welfare. Every
man Is the architect of his own pri-
vate fortune If he has an appor-
tunity to enjoy tQe proceeds of his
honest labor and lhe full protection
of the law ill all his rights, it is a
matter of little importance to him
which party controls the govern
ment.
just at this time there is great
demand for labor in the country.
The cotton fields are white with the
deecy staple. Already the State
has lost ut least five millions of the
years crop by the excitement that
has prryadrd the canvass. One.
fifth of our entire crop is gone. We
must go indust1iously to work to
save the balance. There are many
persons about Jackson no should

thereby greatly benefit themselves
as well as the whole people. Work.
work, work, is the watchwOrtl of to-
day. Go to the fields and earn big

bated are as follows:
1. Immersion is the act which
Christ commanded his apostles to
perform tor Christian baptism.
Four days-Baptists affirm, Meth
odist deny.
2. Infant baptism, as pracfised by
the Methodist church, South, is au-
thorized by the word of God.
Three days - Methodists affirm,
Baptists deny.
5. Christian baptism is pre- requi-
site 10 the Lords supper. Two
rays-Baptists affirm, Methodists
deny.
4. The Methodist Episcopal church
of Carrollton, Mo-, possesses the
Scriptural characteristics Of a
church of Christ, or - branch of the

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CENTENNIAL.

The Act of Congress which pro-
vided for celebrating the one hun
dreth Anniversary of American In
dependence, by holding an Interna-
tronal Exhibition of Arts, Manufac-
lures, and Products of the Soil and
Nine" authorized the creation of
the United States Centennial Com
mission, and entrusted to 1t the
management of the Exhibition. This
body is composed of two Commits
sioners from each State and Terri
tory, nominated bv the respective
Governors, aud commissioned by
the President of the United States.
The enterprise, therefore, is dis
tinctly a nOtIonal one. anu not, as
has been sometimes stated, the
work of private corporation.
The Exhibition will be opened on
May 10th, 1876, and remain open
every day, except Sunday, until
November 10th. There will be a
fixed price of fifty cents for ad-
mission to all the buildings and
grounds.
The Centennial grounds are stu
ated on the western bank of the
Schuylkill River, and within Fair
mount Park, the largest park in
proximity to a great city III the
world, and one of the most beauti-
ful IN the country. The park con
tains $50 acres, 400 acres of which
have been enclosed for the Exhibit
ton. Besides this tract, there will
be large yards near by for the ex-
.hibition Of stock, aud a farm of AZ
acres has already been suitably
planted for the tests of plows,
mowers, reapers, and other agri
cultural machinery.
The Exhibition buildings are APP
preached by eight lines OF street
cars, which connect with all the
other lines in the city, and By the
Pennsy lvania and Reading rail-
roads, over the tracks of which
trains will run from the North Penn
syIvania, and Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroads.
Thus, the Exhibition is in imme
diate connection with the entire
railroad system Of the couatry. and
any one within 90 miles of Philadel-
phia can visit at no greater cost
than that Of carriage hire at the
Paris or Vienna Exhibition.
