Bulls HEAD.-The state Of the Cattle Market
this week will not probably show any material differ
cree, in numbers offered aud prices obtained, from
our report of last week, though We think the l,wer
grades will not generally cell as well, for the city -
quite overlooked with that grade Of bulocks-such
as are selling this week at rates only equal to Go &C.
ret g pound. Cattle of FIST rate quality are ex-
tremely scarce this week, and it will be very rare 70
see anything selling over lOc. pound, which was
about the top asking price of the best Of the 3,io0
in the Thirty fourth street yards yesterday OF tho
$50 cold on Monday at Bergen, We do not hear Of
any over Ole and very small portion indeed, at
that. The greatest number sold at aSc., and some
not over &c. The general opinion Of the cattle
brokers in Eortyourh street yesterday was that tho
market was dull one-ths. il was almost impossible
to sell cattle at the rates quoted last week and get tho
estimate of weights put upon the stock BY the owners
and that if the same feeling should prevail through
to-day, the reports will necessarily show decline
upon all the lower grades below the quotations of last
week or if not there would be actual decline in
the price per head. There appeared to be very
general disposition yesterday on the part of the
wholesale butchers to buy Light and if the same feel
ing prevails through the market it will be very hard
to close out all the stock ysried. We hear o. sons
small lots to in this morning. to add still moro to
| an over-suppy.

Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over large part of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm
of vegetable decay. This eXhaation is evolved
by the action of solar heat on wet soil and rises
with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earths surface, and the virus is taken with it
through the lungs into the blood There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal visccra
and cxcrcting organs of the body. The liver he
comes torpid and fails TO secrcte not only This
virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both
the virus and the bile accumulate in the circul-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
