man is bound to leave on bis grounds as many

plant another in its place. Hence, in Jeddo,
the forest city, some groves covered acres, and
were in The most perfect state Of nature, while

Prospective Famine among the Trai-

LOTSB
A Charleieton correspondent Of The Boston
Post writes under date of April 10:
''The greatest fear now is that the supply of
provisions viii be so small as to raise the price
to a degree hard to be borne by those who
have so long been suffering in their business.
The markets are very poorly supplied The
fishermen are not allowed to go outside the
bar, and if they were would be afraid to do So
as they are mostly negroes, and are not partial
to the neighborhood of powder AMI shot
Hence there is Il great scarcity of fish, which
IS usually il abundance. The flesh market is
somewhat better supplied, but prices rule high.
There is hardly any game, as those who shoot
it have for weeks and months been doing mill
tary duly. The troops stationed here will re-
quire large supplies, and the back country
must send them, or we shall be reduced to poor
fare at famine prices.
