C ALIroRSIA DRESS.
"The dress Of Spaniard of tolerable
means consists Of fine velvet Oh deer-skin
Jacket, generally of green color, with
numerous rows Of gold Or silver plated but
tons upon It, with pair If pantaloons Of
velvet or deer-skin, open from the knee
down, and with row Of silver buttons on
each side Of the opening, confined at the
waist by red silk sash. Over all is thrown
the Serappo, gaily-colored blanket, all
stripes and figures, with ahole. in the CEN
tre for the head. This, when placed over
the shoulders, hangs to the ankle on either
side; under the pantaloons are pair Of We
ry wide and loose drawers, and over them,
when riding, are wrapped the boias, square
pieces Of leather reaching to the knee to
protect the lower part of the legs from chat
ing.-They ride very fast, squirting their
horses to madness, exhibit their horseman-
ship, and the ease with which they retain
their seats, whenthe horse is rearing, and
pitching and kicking, is really astonishing
The Mexican saddle, though awkward in
appearance, is much superior to ours for RI
ding. They have high peaks, before and
behind the one in front is arranged SO that
an end OF the lasso can be attached to it,
after the bullock is shared. The spurs are
the most savage and uncivilized looking in
struments that can be well imagined, about
two inches long, with small bells or pieces
Of steel attached, which jingle at every step.
The stirrups are made Of wood, generally
Egnum rita, and weighing from two to three
pounds.

MODE OF CATCHING WILD HORSES AND
CATTLE. ...t# ii

Imagine drove Of fifteen hundred or
two thousand cattle rowing the plain. The
boccmia or lasso-thrower on horse trained
for the purpose, rides into the midst Of them,
se'ects fine fat bullock, steers for him
through the crowd, driving the cattle right
and left before him; the doomed animal
may turn and turn as he may, but the Doc
caria when within twenty yards Of him,
commencest to swing his lasso Ga long strip
Of hide with moose at the end around his
head, and presently it whizzes through the
air and the animal selected is noosedas GER
tainly as the lasso is thrown. The moment
the well trained horse Of the boccaria hears
the lasso whiz he stops perfectly still and
bracing himself sideways waits for the shock.
The other end OF the iasso being fastened
TO the front peak Of the saddle the bullock
is brought up suddenly and tumbles TO the
ground The horse being perfectly prepar-
ed, his equilibrium is not disturbed The
animal is either killed on the spot, CATER
two more ldssos are attached 10 his feet to
prevent his rising) orled to the coral Cen
closure for cattle surrounded with high

the same way. The horses that are caught

Knowlesvile, N. Y, March 20, says: A
young woman of this place named Spen-
Ger was taken slightly i'll, few evenings
since. She went 10 bed, and in the morn
ing was found insensible and supposed to
be dead. Her funeral took place yesterday
in the presence of large number of the
neighbors. Shortly after the conclusion
of The funeral sermon, and before the cOf-
fin had been moved for the purpose of car
rying it to the grave, 1t was discovered
that life was not extinct. She was once
more placed on the bed and the work OF
resuscitation commenced. Iii is, however,
still doubtful whether she will recover or
not.
