Oysters, 4c.-Never was this delicious salt
water luxury more abundant than at the present
time. At the commencement OF the season
an effort was made to put a heavy tariff on
those disposed to indulge in the luxury, but
it failed, owing to the magnanimity OF certain
large dsalers Talking Of oysters naturally
reminds one Of fish. The most enticlng OF the
finney tribe is confessedly shad. Though
very soon in the season, we saw number OF
very fine ones at the old market few morn
inys since, ON the stalls Of Messrs. Peasley a.
Jones' We learned, on inquiry, that they
were captured in York river. Ia this region
the regular shsd season won't come for some
months.
