ing, in substance, "that there are only

That the danger in this practice, is the

following considerations: There is with

in relation to the superior nutritious
qualities of most of four vegetable articles

while even potatoes possess more than
one, half as much nutriment as pork, or
even beef, and yet their is generally not
one-fourth as much: whereas, in the heat

potatoes furnish nearly twice the amount
as that of butchers meat. And asto the

wide difference in favor of a farinaceous

The scale to which reference is here
made, is based on the experiments of

stand, doubtless at the head of the class
of analytical chemists.

a YOUNG BRIGHAM.-Jesse G.. Roy

ken to State prison at Fort Madison to
serve three years for having three living
wives, has been discovered to have two
more at Springfield, Mo. Thus this
youthful Brigham Young has five wives

Jesse were at large, the colored betroth-

BoUNT1Es.-Claim agents have been
sending out their handbills and circu'
lars, representing that soldiers who ell
listed prior to the time of high bounties
are entitled to additional bounties. These
representations are false, and only made
for the purpose Of securing business, on
the expectation that Congress will pass
n law equalizing bounties. Such Il law
is before Congress but has not passed
either house. The probabilities are, that
it will not pass. The soldiers, generally,
are not asking its passage. The claim
agents of Washington appear to be the
most anxious class in it's favor. Soldiers
who did not volunteer merely for pay do
not ask that our already enormous debt
shall be increased five or six hundred
millions.
