New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1861-08-28

Bonneville, the druggist at the corner of Camp
and Poydras streets, yesterday received from Vir-
gnia pill of unusual size and strengthen fact,
sufficient to dose several men, if not mOre.' It
is conlcal rifle ball, captured from the Hessians
at Manassas, and can be seen in one of his show
windows
The FREE MARKEr.-The portals of this institu-
ton was again thown open yesterday morning,
and provisions were dispensed to llG0 families.
An idea as to the quantity of eatibles given out
may be formed from the fact that the following
lots were wholly disposed Of: 80 bb1s. meal, 10
bbs. rice, 10 bbIs. sugar, l bbl. peas, 2 bbls
beans, l Dbl. grits, bbIs beef, 5 bbs. molasses,
10 bbIs. onions, 3 bbls. dried apples and peaches,
5 bbls. -four, baked into bread, beeves, 400 lbs.
of fish, 30 hams, 81 sacks sweet potatoes, and an
immense quantity of green vegetables. If this is
not doing business on large scale we do not
| know what is. There is miserable Yankee
soup-house business in it. Every person relieved
gets enough to last her family until the next
market day, and no niggardly measuring either.
! The next market day will be on Friday next, by
which time we hope our country friends will for
ward to the committee another supply of Veget-
| ables.
