SoARoIrY.-Owing to the crevasse overfows
and sickness among the market gardeners, there
IS an unparalleled scarcity of vegetables in the
New Orleans markets. For instance, runty heads
Of cabbage sell at forty and fifty cents each, and
other esculents in proportion. The alarm, too,
in reference to the black tongue, has advanced
the price of poultry, so that chickens range as
high as dollar piece, and eggs are selling at
half dollar dozen.
IApvKRrIsEMENT.] The sale of that remarka.
Die and truly valuable preparation, Perry Davis
Pain Killer, is constantly and rapidly increasing
During the past year the demand for this great
remedy has been altogether unprecedented
Scarcely week passes by during which we do
not hear of some remarkable cure having been
performed, within the circle of our acquaintance,
by the use of the Pain Kller.-Prov. Gen. Ad-
vertiser.
A German importing house at New York
lately received an invoice of real Havana cigars,
which were appraised at the custom house at
three dollars thousand. The importers thought
this too high, and under their oath the cigars

tered into the composition of said cigars, but
that they were wholly composed of oak and 9th
Or leaves, soaked in strong tobacco ley.

.iary. and the owner OF the negro sued Jones for

The Washington Union is a remarkable neus
paper. In its issue of Saturday it abuses the A
nerican party of New York for uniting with the
Republicans, and absurd congratulates the Dem.
Dcrats on the contamination of the coalition,
when twenty-four hours previous to the appear
ance of the article, the telegraph had announced
that the attempts at union had failed, chiefly
through the determination of the American Con-
vention in refusing to join with the Republicans
in condemning the bred Scott decision OF the
Supreme Court.
THE SKRPs OF THE CzAR.-The Ozar of Russia,
BY ukase dated July I'd, has emancipated the
,erfs which belonged to private estates Of the
imperial family. BY their emancipation, in adj
vance of the general emancipation Of the serfs,
the Gar has shown his sincerity and earnestness
In the great undertaking which is to distinguish
his reign. This ukase endows the serts of the
imperial family with all the civil rights of free
men. The plans for the general emancipation
are expected to be completed by the mobiles du-
ring the present autumn, and the government
will act upon their reports by the next spring.
The GRAssHoppERs continue their ravages
throughout this and the neighboring Counties
The extent of the injury caused by them is in
creasing every day, and nothing that has yet &C.
Cured seems to retard their progress. 1t was
hoped that the cool weather and the hail storms,
two weeks ago, would have destroyed them In
some measure, but they still exist in countless
numbers. Fine fields of clover have been utter
ly cut down in few days, and corn stripped Of
its ears, blades and tsssels with destructive CO.
lerity. There will be no abatement of the plague,
we presume, until the coming of frosty nights,

ting solemn pledges in reference to Kansas, OF
