tbs "Wood Subject. The . JSWnurer says the
City Council of Richmond, Va., has done well in
crteriug the distribution of one thousand cords
of wood, during the coining 'fwinter, to tha indi
gent poor of thatcity. Few have any idea of the
Bufferings which will be thus, alleviated, for few
are aware of the wide-spread destitution existing
in our community, owing to the dearth employ
ment, and the high prices of provisions, clothing
and wood. Never did there exist a greater ne
cessity for the active co-operation of public anil
private characters, and we are pleased to see both
our authorities and our citizens are awakening
(o the magnitude of the task before them.
Some such provision for the destitute must be
made in our own city. The price of fire-wood is
already outrageously high, and as it is daily be
ing bought up . and 5 stored ' by " speculators, we
shall beyond doubt, see a much greater increase
in price in a short time. Hundreds of our poor,
both white and black, have even this early in the
Reason, been forced to pick tip chips and rubbish
to cook their meals, not dreaming of the luxury
of a fire to sit "by. We heard of a case yesterday,
where a white lady, in former days of indepen
dent means, came to one of pur citizens whose
philanthropic Sentiments are well known, to sup
plicate the' Diivilecre oi picking nn th wt

1 ' '; Homicide. ; .it'iy
In this city yesterday morning, between six
and seTen o'clock, an unfortunate dispute arose
between Nicholas Carr and Willie T. Keith, who
reside on Sixth, between Hanover and Brunswick
streets, which resulted in the death of Willie T.
Keith,f at the hands of Cafr. ' '
The circumstances as in evidence are as follows:
-Keith and' Carr live on "adjoining lots.' On
yesterday Keith went oq, axe in hand, to knock
down the fence separating the lots. . Carr then
appeared and ) ordered him to ' desist J Keith
replied that the fence , was on his own
property, and that he wou)d do ; as he
pleased with his own. . Carr then denounced
him i with a curse and went into his house
and returned with I a pistol , in his ' hand
presented. He approached Keith, when abrothl
er t the deceased, Israel F. Keith, -fearing that
there would be bloodshed, , threw himself in be
tween them: Carr then snapped his pistol at
Keith, and in return Keith struck him ; in the
face with the axe which he had lifted into a po
sition of self-defense as Carr approached, Carr
then continued, Isreal T. Keith being between
him and the deceased," to make efforts to get a
shot by shifting his ' posidoh. The wife - of
Willie T. Keith came out and endeavored to
reach Carr, who was still presenting his pistol
and saw the fatal fchot; fired. Keith was killed
instantly. Wilmington JHspdck. X

'- The Case of the ReV. mr. Williams. '
The melancholy and ' distressing , case of this
gentleman is discussed by the New York Veiqaat
length, and the evidence against him summed np
substantially as follows : . "
1st ; The relative position of Mr. Williams and
Mrs. Moore in the omnibus make it next to im-i
possible that he could have cut her dress and ex
tracted the purse.'1. 1 i ,
2d. ! The knife found on his person was so ex
ceedingly dull that the operatioii could not have
been performed by it, even in the most dexterous
hand." LL; V- 1 ' ( . ' - . '
3d. Whoever cat the nockefc
and practiced member of the swell mob. -It adds
ow,, the character of Mr. Williams is above
all suspicion. Not only is he a clergyman of a
most respeotable church, but is a clergyman of
conspicuous probity and piety. His past life is
not only without reproach, but has been signali
ized by a modesty, decorum, devotion in the dis
charge of his sacred duties, Beciusion from the
ways of the world, and incorruptible integrity
which we rarely find exemplified in the charae-
This is attested by a multitude of ' persons who
have known him from his boyhood, and in all the
passages of his life. It is not denied by the pros ecution.
The gentleman whose hospitality he
has enjoyed since his sojourn in the city testifies
to the punctuality and piety of his demeanor. Is
it not utterly incredible that such a one should
have committed the crime for which he is ar
raigned?? We take it to be a moral impossibil
lty. " .
The New Orleans Times gives a very gloomy
statement in regard to the amount of cotton
which has been made in Iiouisiana and' Missis
sippi this season. It bases its remarks upon
the observations of Gen. F. G. Herron, who has
recently been travelling through those States.

The Hillsboro Recorder gives an kecount ot "an
Unfortunate accident in that place & few nights
since, at the residence of Mr. C C. Tinnen. He
was aroused by a great noise in - his kitchen
about midnight, and went 'ouV'gun in hand, to
ascertain the , cause. He , knocked at ; the door,
which was not opened until t he threatened to
break it open. '' After entering, ' to 1 frfghteh the

On Friday evening last, petween six and seven

his wife's wearincf apparel stolen. The theft was-
discovered a few minutes past 7 o'clock,' shortly
after:' Mr. Summerell came home' from work.
His wife had occasion to enter the bed room from
whence the articles were stolen, "and observing
the disorder in which the room was left by-the

the morning until four in the evening gave them
daily lesson in reading, writing " and ciphering.

vln my last I brought yoii up the Rhine as fair
as fair Bingen," which is in the midst of what
is called the Rhine-gun. or1, Rhine districtJwhere
the most famous Rhenish'Wines are madej The
vineyards on the river strike one with great- isur- ;
prise on makey accounts. 1. After they fairly bo- .

Incapable of culture are cohered with vinesi jIn,
many cases the soil has been carried up by hand, - -and.
in some cases, it has been put j in baskets, ;
and these baskets set in th j crevices of the rocks,
and vines grow- in them. In other cases ter;
races have been made by walls from five to ten -',
feet high,' where the hills were too steep to re- '
tain any soil, and in some cases more than twenty ,
terraces can be counted on a single hilh - Indeed,
some of the hills are nearly one ;thousand .feet ,
high, and yet planted with tinea to the vey sum
mit The vineyards, in some instances,-- are in ;
such brecipitous ' localities that the culture is
Carried on'at great peril, for a misstep might cost
the vine-dresser's life. Th labor that it must
requirer to keep up and dress these vineyards is '
tucunceiTauie. sou, in many cases, is so -poor
and shallow that it needs constant renewal ,
by fertilizers, and, in most kses, these have ' to 1
be carried up on the hills i4 baskets.' i : ;f. i !f '
There is something verjr remarkable in the
growth of the vine." A disfance of a 'few rods '
will make a great difference !in the grape, so- that !
the value of the wine will jbe Changed, Thus, i
at the castle of Johannisbej-g, where" this " cele--'
brated wine is made, the vines around the house a
produce the best quality of jgrapes, and they are
so precious- that - every ;one -that falls to the
ground is picked up with a , fork prepared for the 1 1
purpose. " Tbe wine produced from these have
brought prices that are almost fabulous ; a single
cask of it haying sold oncei for about $7,500 in-;
gold. ' TheJ ground around the castle is so valua-
ble. for vine-growing purpofie'g that no trees are
on it at all, and you can readily, see that it must rj
be so when I tell you that the seven tv acres used
for yines net Prince Metternich nearly as many
thousand dollars in our moneyjyearly, or nearly t j
a thousand dollars per acre. The vines are not '
allowed to grow more than three or, four feet ,
high, and, being tied to sticks in the ground,;
look, at a distance, ndf unlike a flourishing pea
patch, and need an unceasing attention through -the
whole year. Indeed, it ijs in the labor and
care, bestowed upon it at every 6tage of its growth
and manufacture that the secret of vine, culture
depends--quite as much as on soil and climate. "
We have just as good climate and far better soil '
than those of the Rhine, nd if we had tha i '
skilled industry and the arrangements, could
have just as good wine as is produced there. f -,
It must be remembered that the wine culture
of the Rhine, in all its careful and unceasing
manipulations, from the vineUiip to the bottled i
liquid, is the slow growth of many -generations.
and it must take years for a new country like
ours, where labor is so scared and dear: to Arfih- K
lish a system of culture that demands i so much 1
toil, care and experience: bun I think it mlr?ht be
done. And, as it seems that men wil drink .
