Hard Times at the East.

Or. Ray, Of the Galena J.fsrsonian, on
his way from New York, stopped in at the
s,nctum of the Chicago Tribune. whereuPon
its editor says
"Dr. Raw informs US that the accounts
which have previously reached US. and 10
which we have given publicity, concerning
the stringepey ofmoney affairs IN New YORK
city, and the distress existing there among
the mechanics and laborers OF ths city, have
not been at all exaggerated. So far indeed
from this, the half has not been told. There
are sow at least five thousand able bodied,
industrious, and skillful mechanics in that
city, out of employment, and without the
means ofexistenee. Very many OF them DO
not know from whence they are to procure
their next meal. Many of them have fam-
lies, and cannot leave them to starve, while
they themselves 90 in search of work at 9TH
er places. They have no money to get
away, and are fastened down to certain mis-
cry subsistng on the proceeds of their houe-
hold ocds, sold piece by piece to the pawn
broker. The destitutien, misery, want and
poverty wh;h everywhere meet the eye, is
actually siekening.
THE stringsncy Of money matters. which
has caused all this distress, extends to 9
great or less degree Throughout, the State o.
New York. Ithas had depressing effec'
upon the prices OF grain and provisions, nnt
had the effect of somewhat reducing the
cost of living east"
