TIE OLD RICE FIELDs.-The North
Carolina rice fields, comprising the rich
est lands in the State, capable OF pro-
ducing from 100000 to 100000 bush
els of grain year are all covered with
reads and bushes, their bitches filled
with mud, their dikes rptted away, and
rice is no longer productor or an arti-
Gle of export. Thirty years ago the
rice fields of the Cape Fear river pro-
duced a crop of 100000 bushels, the
most of which was shipped to Northern
cities, where it was cleaned and prepared
for the market. Fifteen years later,
just before the breaking out of the war,
the yield of the same region had increas-
ed to 100000 bushels, and at that time
there were several mills in Wilmington
in which the rice was cleaned before it
was sent coastwise to New York or
Baltimore, or shipped directly to foreign
ports. In 1871, rice was planted on
only one of two farms, and the entire
crop was only 10000 bushels-less than
the amount consumed in the State
and this year three planters only have
ventured to put in crop of rice; and,
although the yield to the acre will be
the greatest remembered by the oldest
rice planter around Wilmigton,the crop
will not exceed 5000 or $4,000 bushels.

SUICIDE or RECLUsB.-Colonel Ii
tus Rice, who years ago was promi-
nent citizen of Richmond, and colonel
of the 10th Virginia Militia Regiment,
committed suicide at Fortress Monroe
on Friday night, by shooting himself
through tho head with a rifle. For
many years before the war the colonel
became a cripple from rheumatism, and
bankrupt in business, selling out to
the late John McKiel. He remained
about Richmond until the breaking out
OF the war, when he went to Fortress
Monroe, and engaged his services to the
Federal fleet as a pilot on James river,
which duty he was fully competent to
do from his long familiarity with the
liver He had been living since the
war in an old barge at Fortress Monroe,
and was regarded as an eccentric, lie
was native of Connecticut, and seven
ty years old.

When John Smith writes long letter
to John Brown, and does not put two
or three stamps on it, John Brown,
though not himself guilty OF no neglect,
must not only pay the amount of pos
tage which John Smith ought to have
paid, but must pay small fine in expia-
ton of the ottcnse of Smith-this law is

A MODEL COLONIAL NOTE.

The Avis's correspondents whose name
is legion, which, when it suits my clients,
is equal to a few free %scribblers, count
among their number one whose distinctive
appeIIation is Enron. I regret to say that he
is more than q match for me. Wrlthing
under his %satirical lash, [ have repeatedly
implored him to depart from his sarcastic
style, which annoys me and embitters my
life. | have written note upon note until
in my last I had to give myself the lie
for the 1Ittth time. | have abused
him. although he never condescends to
handy abuse. [ have told him that [
am not inconsistent, although there is no
more consistency in me than in any
average weather-cock.' [ have told him
that / decry the parsimony of the Crucians,
who are so dull as not to comprehend what
q wiseacre I am. Poor people! They cam
not see that there is a medium 10 all things.
They cannot see how parsimoniuos they are.
They are only required to spend $4,000 on
their Vicegoyernor, which is exactly what
we pay for onr Head ditto. They are a
very dull people, aud very parsimonious,
and Enron is far from being free from that

rangement afording only an apparent show
of the peoples partaking in the legislature,
but devoid of any real practical utility,
chiefly owing to this circumstance that men
of sufficient independence and knowledge
cannot be found in this so very small COM
munity to- fill adequately the place of
representatives, so that the Body, as such,
ultimately sinks down to become a tool in
the hands of those in command, or of those
having their own plans and interests to
forward. This is the reason why, compar-
atively speaking, no good has come out of
the institution during the 7 years it has
existed and doubtlessly, nothing will ever
come out of it. People have a dread of
re-introducing the former Government
System [ am no advocate of it myself
but [ say far better do away with all farci-
cal shows of things that do not exist, or of
things that work perniciously, and let us
have something real, something to the
purpose. Votes taken in the Council now
a-days have no more worth as representing
sensible views and the desires of the plu-
rality of the inhabitants, than. II shan't
say what.-For instance, now | hear of a

of loan to himself, that had been partly
declined on a former occasion. The insti-
tuition is at least a nuisance from end to end.
In proof of this [ want to cite this one in
stance among many, that on such days
when the learned Council is preaching
wisdom, or listening to some anti demago-
gicaI philippe of one of our Excellencies,
not a cart or carriage can pass that whole
portion of the Kings Street from the
Danish Church to the Wharf, SO that not
a parcel Of merchandise can be brought to
or from one of the many stores situ@ted
Just in that very blockaded line, and Just
on some of our few busy days not q
conveyance can drive past, even to bring a
sick to his home in the blockaded line :
there the Policemen sit, vigitant enough in
this their duty, where some Of their Supe-
riors can be mindful of them, otherwise
sorry hands enough at order-keeping in
town.
[ say, if we must have this ~"confusion
something" at all, and if the members can
not hear each other without a street block
AIDE, let the Council Hall be removed for
quiet sake to one of the back-rooms Of the
Government House. The space will be
ample, as far as I can judge from outside,
and you need not calculate on any audi
ence, for I have very seldom seen any lis
teners going up now, although plenty of
wisdom is said to grow up spontaneously
in that hall.

the other fresh and young, both in

HENRY CLAY never liked 10 see
dumb animals abused or worried.
When he was in Washington, very
large, and somewhat noted billy goat
roamed the streets, and the newspa-
per boys, boot-blscks, and street.
imps generally, made common cause
against him. On one occasion,
while the statesman was passing
down the avenue, large crowd Of
these mischievious urchIns were at
their usual sport. Mr.. Clay, with
his walking stick, drove them away,
giving them sound lecture in the
meantime. As they scampered on
and scattered in all directions, Billy,
seeing no one within reach but Mr..
Clay, made a charge on him. Mr..
Clay dropped his cane and caught
his goatship by the horns The goat
would rear up, being nearly as high

he latter would pull him down

came tiresome, and he could conceive

THE NIAGARA EXTORTIONISTS

Ten hack drivers st Niagara Falls
have formed sn association and pur-
chased the hacking privilege of the
Catsract House, paying therefore the
reported sum of SO, 500 for the COM
ing season. 1t sounds like an un-
profitable investment to pay such an
amo u t 20. tie mere carriage moDop
oily of any one hotel, and yet look
into 1t will afford convincing proof of
the shrewd Judgment Of the origina-
tors OF the combination. The com
pany pays 800 a month, which Is
about 50 35 per day for each hack
-supposing the organization confined
to ten--snd their oh ,rges are two
dollars per hour. As there are no
drivers to pay, the commissions on
the sale of fancy goods which are
usually retained by them will nearly
if not quite balance the loss sustained
by dull davs and unfavorable weather
Then to this considerable income can
be added tie bonuses paid by The
Museum, Lundys Line, Whirlpool
Rapids, ETC., and the extra receipts Of
many days when the apeciliec number
of cnrrisges will be inadequate for
the demand. Three thousand five
hundred dollars for the carriage mo-
nopoly is pretty good evidence OF the
