Hild Riee-We are indebted to Col. Stambaugh Indian Agent at Green Bay, for the following notice ofthis singular vegetable. Col Stambaugh las left with the ditor small quantity of this Rice, which will be distributed toIeIsons who may desire to make an experiment on it's culture Would it not grow on the margin ofthe Delaware and Chesapeake Canall

 It is found in nearly all the streams and marshes north ofthe forty-secohd parallel of north latitude. have not asceraned that it is peculiar to any parteu

 lar kind of soil but grows most luxurlanty Tn still sluggish streams, with bottoms having proportion of sand and oam. Those who are best acquainted with its history, Green Bay, believe it to be a biennial plant, requiring the period of two years from the fall of the seed to bring 1t to maturity-but the ITslians pronounce it 10 be annual plant-the old chiefs, who now with me, are finn in this belief and have doubt of the eoet tness of their opin- ion. That it grows from the seed and not from the root all appear to be perfectly satisfied The stalk is from four to fifteen feet it length depending upon the depth of the water, to which clement believe,

 its growth is exclusively confined; the shortest stalks, it is said, generally yield the most grain. l have it in great abundance, in water from three to ten feet deep. The Indians harvest their rice on Fox river and it's tributary streams about the middle of September, and further north proportionaby earl- erin the 47th degree of north latitude 1t is ripe, when it is but shooting into heads at Green Bay, about two and half degrees south of that point

 The mode pursued by the Indians in gathering their Riceis quite diverting. Two three Of them take canoe, and paddles it through the Rice, the others hem the stalks into the and beat off the grain with small sticks; in this way they collect their load in few minutes It grows so luxuriantly in Fox rver near the portage of the Ousccnsn Il at it is sometimes difficult to find the channel for small boats, although it s fine navigabe stream. The portage between the Fox and Ouisconsin rivers is only about mile and a quarter. Yet believe there is not stalk of Rire to he fonnd in the Ousconsin have not heard this circumstance satisfactorily ac- counted for; the Fox river. you know, flows into the Lake, and the Ouisconsin into the Mississippi
