armed and mounted, fell upon those who were
promenadiug there, taking away nearly every
thing they had on and about their persons. Four
or five horses also were taken from those who
were on hOrseback. They even stopped the
coaches, robbing the ladies of their finger rings
and other Jewels, watches &c

In Sonora, some of the pueblOs have been en-.

Taking as base the data Of the two past years,
the result is consumption daily IN the City Of
Mexico, on an average, ga head OF cattle, 4551
sheep and 1871 hogs.
The number Of wild animals that are not taxed,
as also kids pigs and lambs, the daily cons1mp
ton is estimated az % rabbits, ~ mares ana Il
kids.
Of the pigs and lambs, which only abound at
certain periods it is calculated not less than 1000
of each are consumed In year.
The value of the annual consumption, selling
the meat and all the minor parts Of the animals
at the slaughter houses, and in the retail shops, it
is believed the average price of an OK OF large
size would be SIC, middle size sl2, small $40,

Without guaranteeing that these prices are exact,
as il is difficult to obtain correct data, the InsPec'
