The premises were afterwards burned

Why Southern crops are Short.

A South Carolina correspondent of the
New York Times explains the causes of the
short crops in the South in this way
In regard to the hours of labor, the re-
constructed freedmen wanted decided i'm
provement upon the eight hour system for
which the working men of the North are
clamoring. They were willing enough to
take their places in the field at sunsise, as
formerly but they absolutely refused to re-
fused to remain at work later than eleven
o'clock in the morning, at which time they
would complain that the sun was getting too
hot for them to work, and Systematically
drop off to their quarters. Bes ides this,
none of them could be induced, under any
circumstances, to work on Saturdays, and
not few took holiday every Friday, also.
The male field hands at first would not allow
their wives to work, but after few months
their uxorious gallantry gave way to the hard
argument of necessity, when they found that
their own earnings were inadequate to the
support of their families. Another great
drawback to the efficiency of the hands was
their unwilhngness to work the plantation
as whole, as they used to under the old
system. Then each gang Of hands, wheth-

DAN RICE'S ELEPHANT ON A RAID. The
Utica O5Se7-rer says

DAN RICE's ELEPHANT ON RAID.-The
Utica O5serrer says:
The big elephant attached to Dan Rice S
Circus, that exhibited at Utica last Saturday,
concluded to go on raid last night. His
keeper confined him in the tent, on the COM
mons, back Of the reservoir, for the night,
and then thinking his charge would behave,
went to his hotel In the middle of the
night the police at the station-house were
aroused by man rushing in so excited that
he could hardly speak. He declared that
the wild beasts had broken loose, and that,
headed by the elephant, they had made an
attack on Corn Hill and that the citizens
of that locality were fleeing wildly for their
lives, and that he had barely escaped to tell
the tale
The driver ofhis elephantship was aroused,
and, on proceeding to the scene of action,
the elephant was found in garden, corner
of Steuben and Eagle streets, quietly MUNICH
ing cabbage, turnips, and other garden
sass" Somebody who watched his motions
says fences were no protection at all. He
would quietly pick up length of fence and
lay it one side, and then clay into the
coveted cabbages. In a short time the con-
tents Of three gareens had been disposed of,
and he was looking about for more provi-
sions, when the keeper arrived and relieved
the anxiety of the inhabitants OF that local

new building erected by John B. Pursel, a

can't say that the Office is an improvement
'on the one just vacated; but we endorse the
removal for several reasons, viz: 1t is more
convenient to oar Office; not at place where
noisy crowds are likely to congregate; and
more, the Office is now held by Conserva-

THE REBUILDING OF PORTLAND has
been estimated that it would take eight hun
dred million feet Of lumber to rebuild the
burnt district in Portland, Maine, or two
years production from the woods in the
State. The Bangor Courier says that a
practical lumberman estimated that, taking
one building with another, such as will prob
ably be built in Portland, upon liberal cal
culation, about twenty-five thousand feet will
be an average for each. So that eight hun
dred millions of lumber would be a supply
for thirty-two thousand houses or other
buildings. The number burned in Portland
was about seventeen hundred, so that less
than fifty millions, or about one-fourth of
the annual survey of Bangor alone, will be
sufficient
