MAHGvvRns ABOUT Mat. Our readers are already
we'll aware that meat markets contain some very
bad butchers-that is, butchers whose conduct s
ry bad-they bIow meat. lhsy stuff meat, and they
plate meat; and the common council have passed an
ordinance ferbiddng the butchers to do this and
ry properly too, under penalty Of very heavy fne
But some will ask what is bloaoiag meat plating
meat, and stuDgng meat? Let US explain. When
butcher kills an animal which looks very fiat scant
or sunken in its internal arrangements be introduces
quill under certain parts Of the skin, and blows his
own nasty breath into the eice until the animal as
sames plump and fine appearance; this is called
boacing and is mostly practiced upon veal and lamb
10 stuff meat is to take the superfiuous fat OF one
very fat ANIMAL and thrust it in behind the kidneys,
and other parts of lean ANIMAL until the latter looks
like rich fat meat To plate meat is to take the CALI
or other portions of the fat of fat beast, and dress
over, plate lean one by splicing the fat dexter
ously upon different parts of the latter, and thus de-
ceiving the buyers in regard 10 the quality ofth meat
they purchase The fat of animal generally be-
ing found sufficient plate three lean ones. All this
is iniquitous and ought to be punished most severey
and we are happy to find that the meat inspectors,
Capt. trigger and Mr.. Vonck have laldlnformatons
against and cxacted fines from, several regular butch
ers, for violating the ordinances in these cases made
and provided. These two gentlemen were old butch
ers, and their appointment was greatly desired by
what are called Irregular butchers )" and it is sin
guar fact that since they have been in office, they
have fined more regular butchers than others. One
of Their first acts to fine seven butchers, all OF
row, in Washington Market, including one of their
successors; and the other day they brought up one of
the assistant aldermen for stufng meat contrary to
the ordnance and to decency. We waited on Mr..
Blunt the corporation Attorney to get the adermans
name
Is it not Nash? We have been told so-but can't
get sight of the complaint.
Mr.. Bhnt-I can't say; there have been great
many butchers brought up and made to pay the fine
for svffing meat but l feel delicacy in saying who
are complained Of because they may be innocent.
Very good, M. Blunt but Justice John Bloodgood
says, and we believe he knows, and we believe he
tells the truth-that the reason why SO seldom
hear Of the regular butchers being complained Of and
convicted for these vainous PRACTICES is that they
kno the superintendent or inspectors cannot be
deceived and therefore the instant that they COM
planned of they up to the Office of the corpora
ton attorney and pay their fine.
"Vcry rue-but it's heavy job for them," says
Mr.. Blunt.
And SO it ought TO be. And we pray yoy, Mr..
Blunt as you value our good opinion, which is worth
much, TO handle all these fellows without gloves
give us lght-tell us the names of all the butchers,
including aldermen that stuff meat-and if they are
proved innocent, we will make it known and vica
versa. Let us have the list Of names, Mr.. Blunt.
The community require it, and we will have it. Give
US light, Alderman Nash.

canst thou to damnation add and adds himself that
we should not gid refined gold, paint the lily
Bearing this in mind, 1t may be thought superfuous
to attempt add any thing the rdicule already OBJ
taineaby the Highland Society; but one fact that
occurred on Monday is too good to escape being re-
corded; they took piper with them from this city to
keep them in countenance and impel them to deeds
of daring not drunkenness and eats of bravery not
folly Whilst in the midst of the appropriate air

baiff sat down beside him, touched him on the
top.knot, and arrested him for S32. The society
sheled out to the "utermos farhng, but could not
raise enough to release him. SO they left him 'aone
