parish las yonr brother can testify deaths from
starvation have become so numerous, that they
have ceased TO be recorded, and coroner's in.
quests, which were at first resorted TO, are now
seldom held, on account Of the frequency of the
cases that call for them.
There are, on a moderate computation four
thousand persons in this parish utterly destitute
in fact, three iour,hs Of the population know not
what il is to eat regular meal once in the twen-
tv four hours. and many are forty'e'sht hours
without tasting food-and this, not only amongst
the class whom we once considered paupeTs, but
the small farmers and even the respectable house.

terday that horse OF his having died from dis,
ease last week the people came In crowds beg
ging for the flesh and though he tried to issuade
them from using such food, they persisted in car

although We suppose members OF Congress were
not generally aware of the fact. The law ena
bles publishers 10 contract with the mail carriers
10 carry papers outside Of the mail. which is all
that the city papers cared for. The consequence
is, that city papers carried free of postage to
all large places throughout the U. States, where
there is rail road communication, while country
papers must, in many instances, pay full postage
for few miles. because they have not the same
facilities We feel satisfied that Congress will
restore the law as il was, in relation 10 carry.
ing papers free under 30 miles at its next session,
when they see the gross injustice done to the
country Press especially as the alteration can
be Of no beneht to the Treasury. .....
