SCARCITY OF VEGETABLEs.--The Leonard

known such general cutlery in that section
about scarcity of vegetables as there is at this
time. Hardly one person out Of dozen has a

family, and as for that favorite winter esculent,
parsnips, there is not a single bushel in the
whole neighborhood. This scarcity Of vegeta-
bes is owing to the excessive drought Of the

of many in England
Others hope that in the double emigration

and come out before the world among the most

Mr.. B0RLAND said he should now, as on a

to the list Of opportunities for imposition. The
Congressional binding at the last session. also, had
been miserably executed--books were so wretch.
eddy bound that they would scarcely hold to.
gether long enough to last senator's home.
Mr.. BRADBURY thought that such books as
were to be placed in the library, should be bound.

$4,000 at least, and the binding good for
nothing at that. ltwould cost large sum merely

when the Government may deem it necessary
for the maintenance Of public order. In such
case the President will appoint the Commandans

that such step would not add to the despotic
power he at present exercises.
