Tue Hien Cost or Livinc.—Everything that we eat, drink, or wear, is going
up. .Flour_ has almost doubled in price-—
Coffee and tea, sugar and molasses, butter’
and tebaeceo, and» thogsand articles of
fancy and luxury sre enormously bigb.—
Some ef these articles are bigh in consequence of ‘the war, but many of them we
ean do without. Others have been made so
by speculators. In this State the essential!
articles are angmented im price in consequence of the unfavorable seasdn for agri.
culture. The crops will undoubtedly be
small, but there is a large surplus of grain
from the hafvest of Inst year “still in the
State, and were it.not for speculators ¢!
cost of living would not be so enormous
But labor is scarce. Almost in every part
‘of the State the papers speak of the scarcity of laborege, . Wegee are high, aud real
estate, houses and lands, low. This State of
things will, in & great measure, compensate
for the high price of everything. Economy
should be..practiced more by our people.—
Since the bégmoing of the war extravagence
has increased. There never waa a time.in
