A telegram from New York says some months ago two Mormon elders were sent upon a proselytising mission to Florida, and settled in the district of Vernon, At first they attracted little public attention, but they made a number of converts, especially among the younger women. Arrangements had been made by the elders to start with a dozen of their fair converts for Utah, but the male relatives of the latter resolved to prevent the immigration. On the 12th May, just as the party were about to start, the men appeared, thrashed the elders in an unmerciful manner, and drove them into the swamps. The girls were then compelled to strip their backs and flagellate each other with switches as a warning to all other southern women to have nothing to do with Mormon missionaries. The two elders were unable to extricate themselves from the swamps, and they perished of exhaustion and exposure. CAUTION. If’ you want correct time and a watch' which in event of accident, can he cheaply and efficiently repaired, AVOID the cheap, trashy Swiss burglar-baits sometimes sold to the unwary as timekeepers. Consult public opinion l in the matter —not the interests of some pettifogging dealer, who only _ too eagerly foists upon you a useless, rubbishy, and worthless article, for the sake of gaining a little extra profit, and who cares lit tie for your execrations which will surely be showered on his head in the near future. If you consult public opinion you will beyond a shadow of a doubt BUY A WATBRBURY, the testimony in favour of which as a reliable and accurate timekeeper is overwhelming, and which moreover in event of injury can be efficiently repaired at low cost by taking or sending it to any of the company’s repair agencies, established in various centres of the colonies. The Waterbury may be obtained from any leading or respectable storekeeper, price (series B) 13s 6d, series (J or L) 20a. 6]
