Lost Cattle.
A cattlesdrover who was bringing a
herd of the horny headed to this market,
lost thirty head, aboutj forty miles from
jthis city. He had stopped at a farm
'house on the route for the night and had
penned his cattle up. They broke down
the fence and escaped. They were bought
in different w localities and at different
times and the drover has no hopes of
recovering them, i J

Dealers in Pine straw.!
The pine straw business in this city
seems to be at a stand still now. There
are two presses here but neither is now
at work. The proprietors claim that
there is "too little margin between the
costs and the receipts and that they can
not make anything out of the business as
it is. They threaten to ;Btop work alto
gether unless they can get more from the
manufacturers in New York, They are
onfca"strike"now and are making an effort
lor increased prices, and we trust
thut they may prove successful.
captured at Last. i
Officers H. E. Schriver and C. H.
i i i
Strode succeeded last night in making
the capture of Randall Jordan, colored, in
Cape Fear township. He was brought
to this city and committed to jail to await
his trial. It will be remembered that this
man escaped from officer Schriver on the
19th of July last, he being then in'' custos
dy charged with au assault and battery,
and that in an attempt to recapture him,
the officer accidentally shot and killed
Willliam Jones, who had been summoned
to assist in making the arrest.) Since that
time Jordan has eluded pursuit and cap
ture until bis arrest yesterday.-
Monday's Regatta.
?he regatta which is to be sailed on
Monday next bids fair to be one of unu
sual interest, as it s to be the last of the!
season. The Eestless now wears the cham
pion flag and the other yachts of the squad
ron will endeavor to take it from her. The
boats are being well "groomed," and
each commander is confident of his,yacht's
success, if the wind and tide is in the riglt
direc ion. The following have entered :

, The Rice Crop.
We are pleased to learn that at this
time the prospects of the rice crop on the
Cape Fear are very promising. The crop
was injured very little by the storm and
the birds, those delicious little pests, are
scarcer than usu al this season. As to the
quality of the rice it will be impossible
to tell that fully until it is harvested. j
We have been endeavoring, for several
days past, u obtain a close estimate as
to the size of the crop this year in, this
section and havo ascertained that it! will
probably reach as high as 30,000 or 35,
000 bushels, as against 10,000 to 12,000
bushels last year. We could not get the
exact figures. j
j The large increase of the crop, this year,
over that from last year, augurs very
favorably for a revival of ' this branch vf
industry in this section. Yq understand,
too, that aa increase has been marked of
late in the value of the rice lands and that
there has been considerable, enquiry for
them recently.They are splendid lands and
ate . absolutely inexhaustible in fertility.
Previous to the war the rice crops on the
Cape Fear averaged some 250,000 bushels
yearly and a few favorable seasons, with
good prices, would donbtleas soon increase
the production beyond those figures.
The base-baU star is iu the ascendant.
T
Only Thirty Days.
Mike Peden, the vagrant little scamp
spoken of iu yesterday's issue j as having
been arrested and locked up, was this
morning ordered! by the Mayor to be kept
in durance vile for thirty days, which is
the full extent of the law. Mike certainly
could expect no more than the law allows,
and consequently ought to be satisfied.
His board and lodging will be furnished
lree of cost.
I Utile Straws.
We are not a prominent success as a
critic aud yet sometimes we find little
things in our exchanges which will pro
voke a wondering smile. For 'instance,
Maj. Creecy, of the Elizabeth City Eoon
omiStt who is au accemplished writer,'
speaks in his last issue of 'an elegaut
bottle of syrup," which made us wonder if
syrup is ever really put up in elegant
bottles, and yesterday 's Index Appeal,
which is generally so correct, uses the
word "gainsayed" for "gainsaid.'' These
are mere straws:aud we notice them as
much in our own extenuation as for any
thing Use, and they go to show that even
the most accomplished writers; will some
times be guilty of very peculiar blunders

The BevlYal in the Second I Baptist
Church
We are pleased to learjn that the revival
of religion in the Second Baptist Church
in this city, which has already produced
such good results, is still in progress.
Rev. J. P. KiDg, jthe Pastor, has labored
for six week past entirely unassisted and
as he is-nearly exhausted by the continued
strain upon his powers, he has telegraph
ed to his brothe.,Rev. J, E.1 King, who is
Pastor of the Baptist Church in
Monroe, to come to his assistance.
That gentleman has responded and is ex-
pected here to-morrow. He will preach
on Sunday morning and evening and will
also labor here throughout the ensuing
weefe. Thus far, ' during this revival,
there have been some eighty conversion?,
including twenty whom Mr. King ex
pects to baptize in j the river at the foot
of Queen street, on Sunday attern on,
between 3 and 4 o'clock.
The Barksdales.
James Barksdale, the' man who killed
Dixon at Yazoo City, is la graduate of
Trinity College, in this State. A frie d
of ours, who was at the College with
him, showed us a photograph of him a
day or two ago. He is quite a young
man and comes from a family renowned
for pluck and good looks. It is1 related of
an uncle of his, a Major Barksdale, that
as he was lying murtally wounded on a
battle-field in Virginia, a Federal
officer appeared to him and Masonic signs
were exchanged between the two. The
Federal then produced a canteen of water
and held it to the lips of the 1 dying man
who, a'though consumed with thirst, re
fused to drink from it, and died reviling
and abusing the other, although, , as he
himself said, he knew that he was a fellow
Mason. ,
How to Care for Canary Birds.
- Miss A. M. sends Rural Life these
selected "Rules forjCare of Canary Birds."
They are seasonable, and apparently
worthy of heediug by those who keep
that popular pet, the canary:
1. During the summer season you
should have both a dir inking cup aud a
bathing dish in the cage, and should wash
them! twice a day, and fill with fresh
water: The seed cup1 should be filled
every morning. 1 I
2. The room in which the bird is kept
should never be warmer than seventy de
grees. :
3. Feed plain food. Now and then a
lump of sugar does no harm, but as , a
general rule avoid sweets. Keep the
cuttle-fish dry and clean, and jfeed only
fresh and dry seed.
4. Never place a cage where a draught
can strike the bird.
5. Never smoke in a room where your
bird is kept, as the odor of a cigar is ftil
to canaries, ! . j .
6, As a general ruW, toever keep the
bird in a painted cage; for the birds will
peck at the wrires,) and it will lead to
disease.
7. When your bird is shedding feath
ers, which is ;enera!ly styled moultiak
avoid draughts of air. j
By obeying these simple direction,
yon can keep birds in excellent health
foryears .... j .
. The schooner Btssie E. Dickinson,
Standish, cleared at Philadelphia on the
3rd insL for this port, i ,
Plaid ceckties are likely to be popular
this season. ...
With the approach of th theatrical
season: bonnets, of course, grow larger.

The business ol hie is to go forward;

Affections, uke spring flowers, break
through the frozen ground at last, and
the heart, which ! seeljs but for another
heart to make it happy, will never seek
in; vain.
Important to the Afflicted.
We would advise all who may need the

Is it Possible I
That a remedy made of such common,
simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake,
Dandelion, &c, make so many and such
raarvelons and' wonderful cures, as nop
Bitters do ? It jmustbe, for when old and
young, rich and 'poor, Pastor and Doctor,
Lawyer and Editor, al testify to havng
been cured by them, we must believe and
doubt no longer. See other column.
