Mr.. EDITOR A Surgeon, an acquain-

extract of his letter. If you think prop

life, to maintain government that pro-

when We left New York, we supposed
that fruit was in abundance; but to our
sorrow, we see it not. What little we
have, commands such enormous prices that
it does not relish. For example, the
price of a small and poor water melon, is
at the modest price of $3.50. Apples,
none Tomatoes 50cents per dozen. Small
chickens $3.50 per pair. In fact the can
fruit, and fowls put up at the North, is far
