A friend has furnished us! with a copy
of theJacksonviile Oiton,containing full
particulars of the death of Mr. Hew
lett J formerly of this city, but ever
since the close of the war a resident
of Jacksonville. Mr. Hewlett was a
na! ivc of this section, and learned his
trade, if we are not very much mistak
en, in the W. & W. R. R. shops at this
place. He ran the first engine that
was ever run on the Florida R. R.

clip from the Union, will show the high
esteem in which Mr, Hewlett was held
in his adopted home :
No tenderer, truer man fever lived
than Henry Hewlett. Along the quiet
nathwav of his life glisten many chan
ties and s weet deeds of kindness that
would be widely heralded -in men more
widely known than he. The poor will
miss him. and the children crow serious
when they hear that he is dead ; and
after all. this is his best epitaph, and no
rman could have a better.

How to Cook Rice.
Ricejis becoming a much more popu
lar article of lood than heretofore. It
is frequently substituted for potatoes at
the chief meal of the day, being j more
nutritious and much more readily di-
gested. At its present cost, it is rela-
tively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal
or gram-grits of any land. In prepar-
ing it only just, enough cold water
should be poured on to prevent the rice
from burning at the bottom of the : pot,
which should have a close fitting cover,
and with a moderate fire the rice is
steamed rather than boiled until it is
nearly done ; then the cover is taken off,
the surplus steam and moisture allowed
to escape, and the rice turns out a mass
of snow-white kernels, each separate
from the other, and as much superior
to the usual soggy mass as a fine mealy
ptato is superior to the water-soaked
article.
