To-day is the time when tradition

were black birds. Now you can listen

A Thief Shot At.
Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock.
a man was discovered by the police
coming stealthily out of an alley run
mng through from Iront to Second
streets, between Market and Princess.
He carried on his shoulder a bundle.
and when ordered by he police to stop,
gave leg bail. He was chased as far as
the wharf, and was there lost sight of.
One of the police fired at the man, who
was undoubtedly a thief, but it is sup
posed that the shot did not take effect.
The Rain It Ral net h .
The rains of yesterday were cop:3us
and of long duration. Market street
was a sheet of water and boxes and
barrels were carried by the tailing wa
ter in the gutters to the turbid waters of
the Cape Fear. Farmers say that we
are getting a little too much rain, but
then "it is an ill wind which blows no
body any jrood," and we can console
ourselves with the knowledge of the
fact that the filth on the streets was
washed off and carried by the tide from
in front of our residences and places of
business.
At Pino Grove.
About one hundred and fifty persons
were at Pine Grove, Wrightville Sound,
on Wednesday evening. The young
people indulged in a dance in the pavil
ion and enjoyed themseles as only
young people can who dote on the giddy
dance. Captain Manning, as usual.
made his guests feel at home by giving
them a hearty welcome and so to speak,
the keys to the city." In this connec
tion we will state that captain Man
ning will cheerfully give the use of his
pavilion to any of his guests or their
friends wjio desire to spend an evening
on the sound and indulge in the dance.
He has a fine string band at his house
which can be employed at reasonable
rates.

Fire at Smithville.
Yesterday morning, between 1 and 2
o'clock, the store and stock of Captain
Fred Small, at Smithville, was totally
destroyed by fire. The fire was fiist
discovered bursting through the roof of
the building, and when persons arrived
at the scene of the conflagration, it was
found that the interior of the store was
in a sheet of flame. An effort was made
to save the books and papers of the
establishment, but the volunteer firemen
were driven back by the intense heat.
Capt. Small estimates his stock at from
$800 to $1,000 on which there was only
a oonion of insurance. The building
was the property of his father-in-law,
Capt. W. J. Potter, and was not insur
ed. No one can surmise the origin of
tbe fire. The store was closed about
the usual hour, by the clerk, and at that
time there was no evidence of the de
stroying element.
A Confession That Was Not a
Confession.
The woman, Mary Eliza Green, who
was placed in jail sometime ago for the
larceny of jewelry, clothing, etc., from
a residence in this city and who. about
three weeks ago, swore out a warrant
against Daniel riowara, me .iaiior,
charging him with a serious crime, was
taken into court yesterday, upon her
own request, to make a confession. She
stated that a woman named Mary
Borden had instigated the charge
against the jailor, and she consented to
sue out the warrant and swear that
the assault was made upon her.
She was ordered off the stand by His
Honor, Judge M cares, who stated that
he did not believe a word she uttered.
Before she went into Court, she stated,
in tbe presence of several witnesses, that
a man, whose name she gave, was the
cause ot her taking out the warrant and
perjuring herself, but when she got on
the stand she changed her mind, and
laid the instigation at the door of Mary
Borden.
James Brown, a verdant colored j vicinity. The city is accessible to it
man from Cheraw, S. C, was robbed
on Water, between Chestnut and Mul
berry streets, on Wednesday last, about
3 o'clock. He was walking up the
wharf when he was accosted by a white
woman, answering to the name of Car
rie Hill. The woman placed her left
hand on the shoulder of the man, and
while asking him for a drink picked his
pocket. He felt the woman's hand in
his pocket and pulled it out, the woman
taking his pocketbook along with it.
He saw his purse in her hand and told
her to give it back to him. The wo
man ran in a house and the man, who
says he did not know exactly what to
do because he did not know the law
mentioned the matter to some one who
was passing. He was advised to
take out a warrant against the
woman and did so. He went
with the officer to identify the wo
man, but could not find her in the
house in which she ran alter pick
ing his pockets. The woman, who
proved to be Carrie Hill, a notori
ous character, was found in a dance
house near by. She was arrested and
placed in jail. Rrown claims to have
lost $72. He seems very much worried
over his loss, and cannot speak ol it
without crying. None of the money
has been recovered. We were cogni
zant of this robbery in a very short time
.alter it occurred, but upon the request
of the officer and magistrate, who .were
making every effort to recover the mon
ey, we did not publish it yesterday.
Brown says he never saw the woman
before she robbed him, and that he pur
sued the course he did because he was
a stranger, and was afraid of getting in
to trouble.

LitfM ning's Freaks.
A very severe thunder storm passed
over this city yesterday afternoon. The
peels of thunder and flashes of light
ning were4 perhaps, the most terrible
and awe-inspiring during the summer.
The telephone bells rung, and the wires
popped, and in many places balls of fire
ran over the wires and were carried off
by the ground connections of the instru
ments. Ye local was seated at his desk
writing up his news, when he was start
led by the snapping of wires over our
head and the balls of fire running down
their narrow track into the ground.
We were not hurt but were a least
bit "scared!" However, we suddenly
remembered that we had some business
to attend to out in the rain, and, with
coat in hand, left the telephone and
electric fluid to take care of them
selves. We drifted into the City
Hall, and found that the lightning had
played the wild with the telephone in
the court room. The wires were snap
ped in two and the window facing,
down which they ran, was badly scorch
ed.
The officers in the building say that
balls of fire were flying around exten
sively and that the report made by the i
lightning was as loud as a cannon. It j
was first thought the end of the court j
room had been punched oat. The smell '

No. 2. - i,
From the year 1773 down to 1791, a
period mainly covered by the Revo
lutionary War, there are no statistics
of production or of exportation, but in
the latter year there was exported troni
the United States 96,980 tierces of 600
pounds each or 58,368,000 pounds. The
following year, 1792, the exports sprung
up to 141,762 tierces or 85,057,200
pounds.
The following table shows the export
ot rice from the United States from
1791 to 1830 in decades:
1791 58,368,000 pounds.
1800 67,233,600 pounds.
1810 78,804,600 pounds.
1820 42,997,800 pounds.
1830 78.418,200 pounds.
Beginning with 1840, the statistics, un
tjl then wanting in positive data as to
production, become more instructive as
they become more complete. The fol
lowing table exhibits the production,
export, and home consumption in the
decades staled.

1860, 187,167,082, 75,373,000, 111,794,032
In the first of these years the export
. in.
was 75 per cent. ; in tne second 6i per
cent. ; in the third 40 per cent, ol the
production. In 1860 ended the first pe
riod of the American rice industry,
which was distinctive in the absence of
the importation of foreign rice, in max
imum home production, in low prices
and in exportation, which controlled
the markets of foreign countries, and
made them large contributors to Amer
ican prosperity and wealth.
The second period begun in 1861 and
ended in 1866. In 1800, there Was no im
portation of foreign rice, aLsd the export
of domestic rice reached 75,373.000 lbs.
In 1861, the first year of the Civil
War, there was imported 148.550 lbs.,
and there were exported only 39,683,000
tbs.
The blockade of Southern ports was
commenced in 1861, and the Govern
ment's record of domestic rice couid
have been but partial only.
