The census enumeration in this county
is being retaken. 1t is believed that the
present enumeration will reach from
5000 to 5000 more than the first enumer-
alton. This, including the slice that was
taken from Marion and given to Levy,
which contains population of 1900 or
more, will show as healthy an increase for
Marion as any county in the State, with
the exception of Orange, which has more
than doubled its population.-Ocala Ban

Arnold Brimer, colored farmer re-
siding about one and half miles west of
the town, exhibited some sugar-cane on
last Saturday with forty well-matured
joints. This cane was produced near
Crosby lake, and we don't believe it can
be beat anywhere in the State. Brimer
is considered good farmer and has owned
his present farm since 1868. He has
plenty of farm stock and makes from
three to four bales Of long cotton year,
besides abundant provision crops, all the
result of honest labor.-Stdrke telegraph.
DIR. w. A. D'Alemberte informs us
that he yesterday met an old Floridian
who had tried bis fortunes in the Lone
Star State, had sickened of his bargain
and returned again to the Land of Flow
ers, where he proposes to rest for the re-
mainder of his days. He is now pros
pecting, and as soon as located will com
municate with other families who are
also anxious to return to this land of milk
and honey. The Texas like the California
fever is fast dying out, and people are
realizing that when once established there
is no place like home Pensacola Id

The following notice, signed by the
President of the Board of Health and
Mayor of the town, has been handed to
the undertakes and grave-diggers of St.
Augustine: cit having become known
that in one, or perhaps all the cemeteries
of this city, the remains of the dead are
frequently exhumed, and the people are
exposed to contagion and death as con-
sequence, even in cases where the dead
expired from common diseases; but we
are now in greater danger from the large
number in our grave-yards of those who
died of yellow. fever; therefore, the Board
of Health issue to you this notice of warn
ing, that especial care should be exercised
by those whose duties lie in this direc-
ton, to carefully guard against opening
any grave, or moving the earth at all
near any grave, containing the remains
of any one who has died of that disease,
for a single hair could open upon us at
any time that fell destroyer and depopu-
late our city"
On the afternoon of Tuesday Deputy

went over to LaVilla from Jacksonville
to make an arrest of Sharper Mitchell,
George Green, Straph Yong and Frank
Bowie, negroes, on warrant sworn out
by Ben. Aston, charging them with riot
ing, fighting and assault. Before the
arrests could be made mob Of negroes
gathered about the place where the parties
were, and when McCallum attempted to
arrest Bowie, the mob closed in on him,
handling both him and White roughly
and releasing the prisoner. The officers
rushed off after Bowie, who ran of, and
were followed by the mob who knocked
down McCallum with a club, kicking his
face violently. The chase continued,
