A Paper from Florida.

Jay Dwiggins sends us the first two numbers of the Mavatar Ii f r Atlraccie, a new paper just establisheil at Braidentown, Florida. The paper is a rather scraggy affair though newsy withal, and as good, v itliout doubt, as the town will support. We notice by its advertising columns that -Jay is now a full grown merchaiityyand proprietor of a store in which he sells groceries, hay and grain, cigars Ac. By the news columns of the second number* dated April Ist, we learn that "Mr. and Mrs, Henry, of Indiana, who have been spending the winter with Mr. and Mrs. Dwiggins” left on the 21th inst. for home. Also we see it announced that “Rev. R. S. Dwiggins will preach at the ...chapel at Fogarty ville, on Sunday, April 4th, at 10:80 a. m. Subject: Signs of Times, or the ‘Sick -Man of Turkey’. - All are cordially invited.” The Sunday previous Mr. Dwiggins preached at the same place and the correspondent from that village gives him tho following notice: Mr. Dwiggins preached in the Union Chapel on last Sunday-, MftVeh- 2-?, -in the-merning to a good audience. His subject “I'hoSigns of the Times” was most ably handled. by the eloquent gentleman, and showed conclusively, that he was perfectly at home (as the saying is) on this subject. While the writer would differ very materially With Mr. Dwiggins, as to many of his conclusions, he, the writer, was most agreeably interested in the discourse. Next Sunday Mr. .Dwiggbm will |>re-ach-on ihe same subject, let everybody hear him. Here are a few items redolent of the soil and clime, gathered at random from the local items and correspondence-o£'the paper: _ Thermometer at noon, Tuesday 83 deg.. The marketJs glutted with venison. A big crop’of oranges is antich pated. 3 The razor backs are out in full force again. Keep up your fences. Parson Reives brought in a 12 pound cabbage, and others that I would average 10 lbs. Upon our return Friday, we were the recipients of -a box of strawberries grown at the Royal Palm Nurseries, by Mr. P. W. Reasoner. Many thanks. The raising of chickens. this year, seems to be an uphill feusij ness. Hawks, skunks, foxes, coons, i possums, seem to be giving for | them. Several persons in this ' region have lost from twenty-five --toilfty each. Vegetables are loeknhg fine and if wejmn have plenty - of rail! there will b<J'a good crop.
