Somc S a very worthy young colored man lost a watch and chain, a pistol, ami some lclt in his room money which he had wheu he went to his work in the morning. He returned in the evening and his room looked pretty much as he had left it; the doors and window- seeming not to have been dis- turbed during his abseoce. He first mused his watch and chain from a watch pocket on the wall in which he kept it. and iu looking about found that the other articles which we have named, had been also taken off. He examined the ta&tenings to his windows inings to his windows . he letl them, and he ; ; and they were as was uuable to account for his loss or how the thief could have gotten in the room. lutuiry failed to throw any light on the matter and he was with out a suspicion or clue as to the real thief. Matters went on in that way for some time, and he was about dismissing all hope irom his mind of ever recovering his stolen property, when he happened to stumble over bis pistol in a store in the Northern part of the city. He claimed the pistol and proved property, nnd was told by the store keeper that it had been left with him for sale by one Fred. Hill, who has several aliases. The loser of the prop erty then spoke of his watch and was told by the store keeper that the re doubtable Fred had a watch answering to the description which he gave. The man repaired immediately to "Squire McQuigg's offi'-e, where he stated the case as he had heard it. A warrant was issued for Hill, but it was decided to leave the pistol at the store in order not to give Hill the slightest hint that he was suspected. Arrangements were made with the storekeeper to de tain Hill, when he came for the money, by some device, until a messenger could . be sent down town for an officer to ar rest him. He has been dodging the constables for the past month, and has been seen several times moving off whenever any of them would happen to be beading his way. They did not give chase, as they knew their man was fleet of foot, and full of artful dodges. They had been playing hide-and-seek with him for the past two weeks, and finally after a consultation, agreed that it was best to deputize a special officer to ar rest bim. John Clsyborn Smith was deputized to make the arrest. Armed with a warrant, Smith has been ou the lookout for Hill, aud succeeded1 in nab bing him on the corner of Seventh and Chestnut streets on last Tuesday afternoon. Hill came on down the street with Smith very quietly until he reached the corner of Fifth and Chest nut when he jerked away from the officer and ran through Mr. H. H Bloom's store and into the back yard Smith mrabbed him again. Mr, Bloom, not knowing that Smith was an ofliceror that Hill was a thief, and sup wwinir thov vra fisfhtins. caught hold of Smith and ordered them on nis premises, telling them they could not fight there. Hill ma4c his escape over the fence, notwithstanding thc fact that he was surrounded by an officer, a bull dog and bees. He was tried and con victed sometime ago ot larceny, out was Ittk, oil' oil the payment of cost at the aolkUaiion of his father who paid the , ! money and tried to make him do bet i tar.

Changes and Improvements in M,tnr unilu. t ne opera House. ( From Mr. Dyer, the manager of the I Opera House, we learn that a regular : scale of prices will be adopted for the season, and that other improvements and changes will be made before the opening performance, which will be by Mr. C. B. Bishop, in "Strictly Busi ness," on the 16th proximo. The prices for the sason, except for rare auracuons uy very large com pa- nics, will Ijc 20 cents for the gallery, 50 ... . i cents for the dress circle and 75 cents ! for tfle orchestra chairs aud benches, with no extra charge lor reserved seats-; AU of lhe firet floor of the Opera House j wiU hcld 75 ts a seat. The) benches now in the parquette will be upholstered and made comfortable, and the railing and gateway which has here tofore divided the parquette from the orchestra chairs, will be taken down. A person wishing to have a dress circle or fifty cent seat can have it reserved. The dress circle will be for the use of families and persons whs wish to wit ness the many attractions of the coming season, but who feel themselves unable to pay a higher price by taking an orches tra chair. Smoking in tho reception room and vestibule of the Opera House, we are pleased to know, will be most positively prohibited, and the ladies of the city can feel assured that they will no longer be blinded with a cloud of tobacco smoke, when they enter the building. House policemen are to be on duty at every performance, one be ing stationed on each floor of the house to preserve order and quietness. Mr. Dyer is going to make a strenuous ef fort to suppress anything like rowdy ism or undue applause, and also the shrill whistling which has so often annoyed and disgusted a greater portion of the audience. He will inaugurate another system : that of selling seats for the sea sou, which will bo a great convenience to habitual theatre-goers. It is his in tention to manage thc business more after the plans used in conducting the largest and most attractive places of amusement St the North, and the changes which are to be made will be but an entering wedge fbr still further improvements. Bice Culture, No. 8. (Continued from Issue of 22nt ) Since the emancipation of the slaves, the cost of agricultural labor in the South has increased more than 100 per cent. In the rice districts of the Caro linas and Georgia, females obtain from fifty to seventy-five cents. Males from sixty cents to one dollar and a quarter per diem this without the efficiency to be expected from free labor. These laborers in some localities often refuse to undertake tasks, easy under a sterner system, and essential to rice cultivation, A day's labor is often reduced to six hours instead of ten. For such reasons great waste attends the harvests, which Irom the peculiar conditions required in curing this grain, do not as yet, de spite the efforts ol invention, admit the horse reaper, and are still conducted with the sickle. The consequences of these embarrassments are, reduced pro duction and commonly minimum crops. Added to these are the disastrous storms whieh sweep over the tidal del tas on which the most extensive and most productive plantations are found.
