RHVHL, ftILY &

We look with the most rinful anxiety to the ap-
proach of winter, which can bring us nothing but
misery ; fir,, if things do not •speedily alter, we have
tio dread the severest famine. There already preialls
here a most oppressive scarcity in the immediate ne-
Cessariesof life. A pound of-bad rock salt colts from
12 to 14 copecks, and even at thi; price is scarcely to
be had—a bottle of very bad wine sells for tiro 'rots:
bles--coffee is at two roubles per pound, stiksre-ane
rouble and a half, common beer 15 copecl4 bolt-
tle, and rye-meal 10 per pound. The • silver rouble
has risen from 105 to 208 copecks. In Esthonie-, se-
veral boors have been found dead in the Adds. Thiy
had been eating bay and carrion. • •-7 `.
