THE HORSE IN THE UNIrED STATES.
The Boston Transcript says:
The first horses brought into the part of
the territory at present embraced in the
United States, were landed in Florida by
Cadeca be VEGA, in 1927 ,forty-twoin num-
Der, all of which persisted or were 9TH
erwise killed. The next imported was
also brought to Florida by De Soto, in
1929. In 1903 the French introduced
the horse into Canada. In 1903 the En-
giish landed at Jamestown, in Virginia,
having seven horses with them. In
1929 Frances Higginson imported horses
and other domestic animals in the colony
of Massachusetts, Bay. In 1926 the
DutchCempany imported horses intoNew
York. In 1860 the French of Illinois
were in possession of considerable num-
Der of horses.
According to the census returns of
1850 there were 1885, 1853 horses in the
United States, exclusive of those cities
which were not returned. The four and
a half million of those animals in the
United constitute proportion of one to
five of the inhabitonts. New York has
one horse to seven persons, Pennsylva-
MIA one to six and six-tenths ; Ohio one
to four, Kentucky one to three free in
habitants. In Ohio and the other new
States of the Northwest, the increase of
horses has kept pace with that of the
population.
The number of horses in the United
States is more than three times as large
as that in great Britain. A recent re-
port in France shows that there are in
that country 100000 horses.

OF The St Louis Intelhgencer Of the 18th,
states that not night has passed in that city
since the recent riots, without the commission
of burglary and murder and the editor affirms
that there are certain localities in the city--not
distant either from crowded thoroughfares--
where respectable citizen cannot go after
nightfall unless at the risk oflife and property.
OF The drought in Northern New Hamp-
shire and Vermont has proved to be so severe
and protracted as to threaten utter destruction
to all standing crops. There has been no rain
for five or six weeks, and grain grass and po-
tatoes are suffering heavily, especially the let
ter, which crop is afflicted with the rot in some
sections and rust in the others.
or fhc New York Times affirms that the
Slave Trade is actually carried on between
that city and the Coast of Africa and that New
York merchants are constantly sending vessels
to Africa to bring cargoes of slaves to Cuba.
