Expensive CRrMINALs.--DAizy Breese's
trial cost Alexander county in the neigh,
borhood of two thousand dollars. Thil
sum added to what it will cost to try
Diltz, Gupton, Parks and Black, all OF
whom have taken their cases out of the
Alexander county circuit court by change
of venue, will swell the bill to not less
than five thousand dollars, to say nothing
of the expenses OF the fifty petty Grimm
ais tried in the county within the year
1t Is safe TO say that the expendi.
lures on account of criminals will for
this year amount to not less than
eight thousand dollars - or one.hali
or all tho county taxes collected.
When 1t is taken into account that not
moro than one out of ten Of all the
criminals tried in our courts are residents
of Alexander county, it will not be won
dered at that our people are borne down
by an unjust and burdensome taxation.
But, the question is, how can the matter
be remediod? If any one knows, let him
speak out. Thieves have to BIO punishsd,
and if an undue proportion Of them fall

How TO Cook RICE.-The
following is the method recon-
mended by the French Acade-
my for cooking rice, during the
siege of Paris. Put ore cup
full of rice and one-fourth of
water-in~a saucepan, cover and
place it over a good fire; after
an hour the water becomes evap-
Grated, and the rice cooked
tender, and with grains dis
tinct, not in a paste. Suffi-
cient salt should be added in
the first place, and care should
be taken not to disturb the rice
while cooking. BY adding a
little butter, and allowing the
rice to dry a little more over a
gentle fire, a more delicate dish
is prepared.

BELLS AND DoGs.-A farmer of
Broome county, New York, writes
20 the New York Times 81 put
bells on sheep to keep dogs off. l
have tried it thirty years, and
cever lost one. My neighbors all
around me lost sheep frequently.
They did not use bells. l use one
tell for ten sheep. l have SO
lnu b faith in bells that think
the law should not pay man for
his sheep if he had no bells on
them" This is correct. Bells
on a few wethers will keep off
dogs, and even wild animals.
