Scarcity OF Poultry,

The Richmond Dispatch, Of yesterday,
SAYS We nave scarcely known tie time,

especially good chickens were as scarce IN

try people have paid less attention to rearing
poultry this Spring than usual, or they ere

than our citizens can afford. II some enter
prisug man, with moderate capital, would
visit tic cOuntry "ong the Central Railroad,
buy ~ chickens, eggs and butter, and bring
them to our markets, he could realize
handsome per cent. on his investment, and
soon build up business that would lead to
fortune"
Perhaps the scarcity to which ths Dispatch
a!!uies is partly, if not mainly, attributable
to the high rates Of freight imposed by the
railroad companies, Oh i've poultry" VIC
