SUGAR AND MoLAssEs BY THE ACRE
We understand that there is now stored on
the Boston wharf, South Boston, in bond,
over six acres of these two articles. There
are also large quantities in other localities
What is to become of it all? There is a
similarly large stock in all the principal cities
in the U. States, showing clearly that it was
not scarcity of these articles, now become a
necessary of life, that has run up the price
more than double within year.
There is now in Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, more than three times
the stock there was year since.
We learn that large wholesale dealer
here, who supplies many retailers, reports
that he has not sold tenth part of the
amount of these articles this year, compared
with his former sales. Very few families use
acid fruits this year or put up preserves, and
every family purchases pound or two, in
stead of their usual barrel or half barrel
Brown sugars at ii and white at Is cents
per pound, and New Orleans Molasses at rs
cents per gallon is too high for consumption.
Within year or two, New Orleans molasses
has been purchased there at l29 cents pei

A YOUNG LADY WORTH HAvING.--The
Fall River Star relates the following:
A horse that had been left by his owner
standing in the rear of the market, feeling
thirsty, started for the pump for drink, but
his check-rein would not permit him to bend
his neck to the trough. A young lady whom
we recollect to have seen before, passing at
the moment, and observing his difficulty,
promptly stepped forward, unhitched the
rein, and passed on, as she supposed, unseen.
We will wager a years subscription to the
Star, that that young lady makes some
happy fellow good wife. A deed of kind
ness is always commendable, even though
