Economy.

--The difficulty of procuring leather makes shoes for servants very high, and from present indications the prices are not likely to fall off before winter acts in. The cheapest shoes we have seen, for farm use, are shoes with wooden bottoms. These bottoms are made in Hanover county in large numbers, and are sold at moderate figures. Indeed, every former can have them made on his own plantation at trading cost. He has then only to purchase the upper leathers and have them out and fitted to the bottoms, and then have them tacked on. When properly made, they are said to be warmer and dryer than these with leather soles, and wear much longer.
