The RIoE HARVEST. The Times.
OF Georgetown, 5. g., Of the 4rh,
says: 1.-The rice harvest is being
pushed IA rapidly along as the
supply of labor will permit. The
weather has been. glorious, and
from the commencement Of the
harvest to the time We write there
have been but three days wien
rice could not sately be handled.
Ii the crops turn ont be short,
(and we fear they willy it must be
attributed to the caterpiller, the
salts, the rice birds and the thicvs,
and not TO ah nnpr"pitions harvest
From the small quantity Of rice
being brongh, to town by the ne
groes TINS tar, we are inclined "a
believe tha, the stea'ge has been
less this year than in the last three
or four years"
