when passing turnpikss and high roads,

return for killing and manning ninety-one
persons.

There are now about 43O American women

best bullocks were sold to cash-paying
oue,onor, at price, only equal to ten cents

nine cents, and middlng ones for eight,
with avery dull market, and Of course all

guessing at ths weights. There were
2lS2 fresh bceves in market yesterday, be-
side another hundred from those left over
last week. Our reports show that upward
Of ten thousand bullocks have b en- recov

"Her countenance is expressive of the
bitterest agony of soul, and her whole frame
trembes and totters from the ravages
which her sufsrings have worked. Her
costume,-and in all Rachel's. characters
her exquisite and truly classic costume is
enc great charm,-is modelled with perfect
taste after the graceful drapings of ancient
statuary and when she stands motionless
you might believe her block of marble
hswn with the marvellous skill Of the old
sculptors. Her acting is beyond all de-
scriplon. have never seen anything so
terribly truthful as Rachers portrayal Of
intense mental snd bodily suffering we
know il to be art but can hardly believe it !;
we seem to see an actual dying woman
before us. She is not only Gar above every
actress that preceded her, but she is to-
tally diflercn, from them ALL she discards
all stersotyP"d postures, gestures, and
looks, and does nothing but what she knows
TO be natural and true"
