rents Of the lagoons still keep Bagdad inundated,
and the inhabitants aresuppHed with crabs and fsh
at their very doors The abundance Of crabs in
the streets and along the beach is truly wonde er-
fuI. They do not have to be caught-only picked
up with the hand as you might pick up chips. OF
course many people feed upon them, and the
wooden sidewalks Of Bagdad are as badly Uttered
up with crab-claws as the sidewalks Of New Or

guber-shells.
Coming up the Rio Grande, Isaw that splendid
corn crop was being harvested, and a second crop
being put in. We can have green corn ali the year
round, if we want it. The report is that the crops
have come out with unusual luxuriance all over
Mexico.

ALABAMA LoTTERY.-0ur readers must remem-
Der that they have only four days left to buy tick
cts in this lottery, as the next drawing comes off
next Monday. Mr., Howard, agent for this city
at No. 40 Camp street. can supply all and any de-
mand which may be made upon him for tickets.
This lottery is an enterprise which deserves sup
port from the people Of the South, as the proceeds
are to be devoted towards building up an insti-
tuition of learning in a sister State. Mr.. Howard,
the agent for this city, being the enterprsing and
public spirited citizen to whom is mainly to be
attributed the idea of making lotteries contribute
to the support of our charitable institutions, by
charging license upon all tickets sold in the
State, should be literally supported by the public
as lotteries for which he acts are always fai
schemes and literally administered. Our reader
will find in another column the advertisement o
the Alabama lottery to which the attention of al
who are interested is called.
