Scarcity of beef. --The butchers at the First Market last Saturday morning had but a small allowance of fresh beef on sale, if we except the Messrs. Lindsay, who are selling at sixty and seventy-five cents per pound, regardless of what others demand. These gentlemen appear to have no favorites for choice cuts, but with an industry and an energy that does credit to their humanity, seem to be striving to furnish all who call upon them. That beef is becoming scarce in the country no one will deny, and that our people will be compelled to use but little meat is equally true. The army needs and must have meat for food, and to supply them the people will have to deny themselves and become vegetarians. In France and other European countries the people use but little meat, and are only the more healthy for it. We can give up old customs for the sake of our independence and be none the worse off for so doing.
