Another Charge Against Him.
Jno. Howard, the man who was ar
rested at Magnolia, last Wednesday
night, charged with the murder of Joe
Daniels, a full account of which appear
ed in the Review, robbed a gentleman
just a few hours before his arrest. He
hail been working with Mr. Tim Math
is, a few miles from the town, and en
tered the house during Mr. M's. ab
sence and stole a twenty-dollar gold
piece which was in his bed room. How
ard was seen to chauge the gold piece
on the evening of his arrest, and when
taken into custody had $18.74 and a
railroad ticket for this city. He was
visited at the jail by Justice Carroll, on
Friday, and was told that Mr. Mathis
had come for his money. Howard ran
his hand in his pocket and gave the
money up. '

Our friend in this instance 4 stood fire"
long enough to sell a machiue, but when
the first installment was due and he

opened her vocabulary battery upon
him and talked him clear out of breath.
She commenced upon him on entering
and gave it to him so vigorously that
he soon, hat in hand, made his way out
to the front steps, where he was fol
lowed. He then retreated to the front
gate still under a shower of words, and
at last he ventured to get up in his wag

Our Health.
It is
feared that the recent heavy
. . t will conducive
of much sickness. A gentleman, who
is a farmer and manufacturer near this
city, comes here every night to sleep, as
he thinks it is much healthier here than
in the country. He is a gentleman of
much intelligence and keeps well posted
on statistics, etc., and declares that Wil
mington is the healthiest city in the
United States. Our mortuary statistics
will certainly bear him out in his asser
sion. Week before last there was not
a single death recorded in the city.
The Heroes of Caintnck.
A couple of young jrentlemen employ
ed at Caintuck, on the floating saw
mill, left the mill Saturday evening to
come to tho city, and visit their dulci
neas. They walked to the Carolina
Central Kail read to take the train, but
arrived at the station just in time to see
the end of the train disappearing around
a curve. They then started across the
country to the W. C. & A. R. R., and
SAW r.hfi train dash thundering by. Not
to bo outdone, they took down the rail
road track, and walked into the city, a
distance of thirty-five miles. They were
determined not to let Strauss, or even a
Hill, stand in their way of getting here
in time for church services on Sunday
morning
t The Sharpless Reunion
The reunion of the descendants of
John Sharpless was attended by over
2.500 persons. Those present were de
scendants from Florida, Kansas, Mis
souri, North Carolina, South Carolina,
New Jersey. Mississippi, Pennsylvania
xrr Vrtrlr and Ohio. Miss Sallie
jpj v. mm wmm mm.
Swsnn. of this citv. and her brother,
Mr. Sam'l Swann, of Florida; and Bish
od Green, of Mississippi, were the only
names which we recognized on the reg
ister of the decendants. The reunion
took place on tho banks of Ridley Creek,
In Waterville, Delaware county, Fenn-
svlvania. Many relics of the family
were on exhibition and much valuable
data as to the family was gathered by
thnsfi who have the keeping of the
genealogical tree in charge. The deed
from William Penn to John Sharpless,
for the old homestead, as well as the
Sharpless coat of arms, was on exhibi
tion The old house in whion tne pro
genitor lived was opened to the inspec
tion of his descendants. The day was
spent pleasantly, and many new ties of
friendship were formed, which we trust
will be cemented with closer intimacy
and kindred feeling, as time moves on.
There are about two hundred and fifty
descendants of John Sharpless in this
oity . It is only of late years that any of
the descendants hare become pumio
men. They have usually been occupieu
m farmers, manufacturers, and mer
chants, but now the family includes
olergyraen, governors, generals, judges,
lawyers and civil engineers, ana is
ourious illustration of the workings of
time that Bishop Green, of the pisco
pal church, should prove to be a direct
descendant of John Sharpless, the Qua
ker who left England that he might en
joy, unchallenged, his own religious
opinions.

For the Review. i
Bice Culture.
(concluded).
For the benefit of those who have not
read the several articles on this indus
try that have appeared in the Review,
since the 12th inst., 1 submit the fol
lowing synopsis of the facts that have
been submitted:
First, The history of this culture
shows that from 1720 to 1729 the av
erage annual export of rice was 10,000,
000 pounds ; the aggregate product we
have not been able to ascertain.
Second, From 1791 to 1830 the av
erage annual export was about 65,000,
000 pounds ; the amount of production
unknown.
Third, From 1840 to 1860 there was
produced or grown in the United States
about an average of 161,107,184 pounds
annually; that is, in 1840, 80,841,422
pounds; in 1850, 215,313,097, and in
1860, 187,167,032 pounds.
There was exported during the same
period an annual average of 68,123,000
lbs. and the home consumption was
126,317,517 lbs. annual average. But
to show the increase of home consump
tion in 1840 it was only 19,845,422 lbs. ;
in 1850 it was 147,313,097 lbs. ; in 1860
111,794,032 lbs.
The above shows the progress made
during the first period of the rice cul
ture to 1860.
Fourth. From 1861 to 1866 the average
annual importation of rice into the
U. S., was 58,000,000 lbs., which seems
to have boon the beginning of tho im
portation of rice. The production of
domestic rice was, for 1865 and 1866,
(the onlv years we have any account of)
about 12,000,000 lbs. This closes the
second period.
In 1864, when the supply was entirely
of imported riee, the prices rose to $12
and $17 per 100 8s; showtng the ef
fect of destroying the home production,
and allowing foreign rice to monopo
lize the American markets. .
Fifth. During the third period of the
rice industry, from 1866 to 1881. Tho an
nual domestic production grew up from
11,500,000 pounds in 1866 to 117,766,000
in 1881, and the consumption from 63,
300,000 pounds in 1866 to 175,500,000
pounds in 1881, while the amount of
imported rice has remained about the
same, in each year of the sixteen cover
ed by this statement. In sixteen years
tho increased consumption reached the
extraordiary quantity of 112,000,000
pounds !
Here is food for reflection, for the
"Commission" as for Congress. Re
fuse to encourage domestic production
and the prices will rise to the extent of
the ability of the consumer to purchase.
The benefit to accrue to the foreign pro
ducer. Help the American producer by the
small import duty as it now exists and
he will be able to reclaim his swamp
lands and thus Increase the productive
area of the country, and the increase
in production will keep pace with the
increase in consumption ; prices will be
remunerative and reasonable, but will
never reach the exhorbitant figures of
1864 $17 per 100 Ss. when the supply
was entirely at the control of the for
eign producer. Planter.
