three hundred OF the men had their tbroats cut
or were shot The excitement is very great I'm

as they had this season; hut IL is all gone Most
OF the country on this mighty river is perfectly
beautiful and would produce any thing
A shot distance from the city You can see thou
sands and tens and hundreds Of thousands OF
cattle, feeding. Their wealth consists In cattle
and horses, which are driven to the slaughter
houses, near the city, where they are killed bv
thousands, daily; the meat Is jerked, cut of n
long slips, and hung up to dry in the sun; the
SIX ms are sent to the United States and England
the bones burned FOR manure and the horns used
for combs and buttons. Hides are very dear at
this time, and many failures have occurred In the
city, from the failures In England. There is a
great deal Of wealth In some families. One gen.
LEHMAN has an Income Of over a million year; he
- now engaged In killing cattle up the river
Wrathy gentleman was compelled to sell
.ne Iight OF killing cattle on his estate for four
