on The authority of some OF the maps. Humbolt has
ascrbed To the vicnage I the very sput where they
were found. The Indians Of the present day know
nothing of them except that. according To tradition
they were once inhabited by people which came
from The North that Mun,ezuma was the Govern
ar ot this people and that alter living here for
period, they dispersed-some easiwardly towards
the Rio Grande and others souihwardly towards the
city of Mexico.

some instances as much as two acres in extent

walls, four stories i'm height and containing MS many

exterior, are very nearly tree feet thick at base
and retreat on the inner side by series Of small

gradually from the bottom upwards.
Another object of interestdscovered was rock OF

RICE IN MissouR1.--We have on our desk, q
sample CT Rice raised in this county, by one Of
our enterpllsiue and intelligent farmers. Having
seen statements that Rice could be raised with
out irrigation he attempted it. He sowed his
crop early in the Spring, say last of March or
first of April the yields all that he could desire.
The experiment has been made on small scale,
but 1t has been fairly tested. and in the opinion
OF the entiFator, conclusively proves that this
can be made as valuable crop to the grain
grower as many Others which are now cultivated.
Thegrain is hot 50 white as that grown in the
South in taste, it is peculiar; and TO Ia rather
more pleasant. Il is full, plump. and entirely
developed. 1t has been suggested and is GER
tainly worthy Reconsideration and experiment,

tween that OF the South and the Wild Rice Of the
North, which may prove ominer,ly productive
