Bulls HEAD.-Ner- York Cattle Market, Tuesday,
Sept l0.-There is an overwhelming supply of cattle
on the market this week From all that we can gather
to-day of the number that will be reported think
it will not fall below $780, which is larger stock
han we have had in any week this year. and the mass
of this great number are good fair quality for grass
fed steers and agood many fulfed heavy buloeks
of cwt. TO 10 cwt. average upon whole droves. The
number at the great place u Fortyourth street.
to-day including 500 600 sold yesterday is not far
from 1900 probably little over Say 1000 on sale
to-day and the price from to lc. cent pound net
lower than i was week ago, the top price being S0
&C. b. and none but few extras ne &c. ID for the
net weight Of beef the seller sinking Oihl and have
no doubt that great many cwt. Steers that would
have sold Last week at $50 each, will average below
$50 this week. There is very large stock OF this
State Cattle on the market, the owners OF some OF
which, no doubt, wish that they had them safe at
home again. Some OF this Glass; light thin Steers, and
Hefers, and Dry Cows are reported selling at less
tan cents net y 10. IL was great error TO crowd
this class upon the market at this tme IL has had
thetenect to PROSTATE it, though not as low as might
have reasonably been expected by such an over sup
ply. That IL has not broken down any worse, proves
what we stated last week. and confirms us IN the opn-
ion that all State farmers who have rsclass bull
locks their farms, may count upon cents net q 10
in almost any market this Fall. Such cattle have
sOkl at that to-day. One drove estimated by the
at not 10 cwt each upon an average ON 81
head, sold all through at estimate Of cents b,
and averaged $Si SO head Some large droyers OF
good Illinois Steers will average cents v ID, and
this we think indicates bae kbone TO the market
when crowded with near 5000 head Of bulocks Tor
weeks supply for which 100 would be snhceht'
Allowing Che greatest decline claimed by any owners
or their brokers, to be a cent " h., and tneh
Il is not so great as that we have already eaPe
rienced considering the greater over-suppiy OF 1;
and although some mean ones arc Teporeeu no Z, p
at rates only equal to 81 96 cents net pouno,
no lower than such have already been feP0sI.ce sDi
We therefore repeat advice OF last Week iof n
snIl faith that the lowest point Is passed-that more
prosperous times are easily seen approaching IN

rIRTs IN Lw.RocHELIE.-Witbin the past two
months four res have occurred in the little village Of
New-Rochelle under circumstances which would seem
to indicate an organized plan to njure individuals by
destroying property. The first the place of Mr..
Prime; the second on that Of Philip Underhill, by
which two valuable hones were burned; the third
destroyed the barns Of John Hunter, and the fourth,
which broke out on Monday night, about o'clock,
consumed the large horse-ebeds belonging TO the new
Presbyterian church. In this latter case the inten-
ton Of the ncendary had evidently been TO have the
fire communicate with the ffame-house adjoining, and
thence sweep through TO the corner. Fortunately,
however, the little wind that there was, blew in a
contrary direction, and the flames confined to the
sheds themselves. The new Hook and Ladder Com
pany of the village was promptly on the spot, and
worked with such will that the dwelng-houses and
fences by were saved from destruction. Strange
to say 10 efforts whatever have yet been made to
ferret out these incendares, although property in
the neighborhood can be deemed safe until they
discovered and punished

How Bomb. smells nr, Made,

The manufacture Of bomb. shells is very in
terosting. The shell Is first filled with old
fashioned round leaden bullets melted sulphur
Is then poured in TO 6ll up the interstces, and
bind tho bullets in one tOlid mass tho shell IL
then put up into kind Of lathe, and a cylin-
dricll hole u tho exact sizs Of tho oriico Of the
shell Is bored through the bul'ois and sulphur.
Tho cavity Is flled with powder even with
tho intsior edge Of the Ortcc, a six-inch shell
Of the kind here described holding abeut half a
pound. The fuse ftted into tho orilice Is q re-
cent BelPiln invention, made Of pewter, and TO-
ssmbles the screw.cap mlde for t.e patent fruit
cans An examination of this pewter cap
shows, however, that II Is male Of two hollow
discs Of metal screwed together, and filled with
meal powder.
humber OF fine holes are drilled in tho
lower disc, while the outSr disc is entire and
marked with figures in tho cir1ls, /, 2, 3, 4. In
this state the shell is water proof. When taken
for use the gunner, by means OF small steel
instrument, scoops out portion OF the outer
soft metal surface, and lays baro the charge of
onposition powder below It..
II the shell is desired 10 explode in one second
after leaving the gun, tho sccoping IA made on
tho figure one; if in two seconds on the figure
two, and 40 on; the idea being that tho shells
Of this description shall fst strike tho object
aimed at and do oI,cutiOu ~ a ball. and then
explode, sending tho bullets forward as If from
another cannon, located at the point where the
fight Of tho shell Is arrested.
Largo shells Of eight Cr ten inches arc illed
with powder only, and uting, do execution
by means Of Their fragments. These lsrSe
shells are generally fired by mesns of fuso Il

screwed into tho mouth Of the shell. In both
