The latest news from thc seat OF war in Par
aguay not only shows the accounts of the
capture Of Humaita aud the occupation Of
Asuncion tQ be untrue, but leaves II doubtful
whether in the severe engagements before
Humata the Allies gained any advantage what
ever Their fleet shll remains at Curupaty,
and nothing is now said of any new position
having been gained. Ii this latest information
should be found TO be correct, the prospects of
Paraguay wOuld seem to be better than before.
The Argentine Republic and Uruguay are not
likely 10 remain much longer partners of the
unholy alliance and if Brazil was unable to
make headway against Paraguay while aided
by two republics, she must ut least find it more
difficult TO continue the war when left alone.
There is u growing dissatisfaction with the war
even in Brazil, and if new and greater sacri-
fees should be demanded from the people for
carrying Oh the war, the opposition may
become too strong for the Government.

THE BUTCHERS And THE BOARD OF
HEdLTH.

The very important question whether the
Board of Health has power to regulate the
driving and killing OF cattle in this City was
argued. last week before the Court OF Appeals,
whose decision will he final determination
of the matter We understand that both
parties to the controversy desire that the deci-
sion. whatever it may be, should be rendered
at an early day The matter thus far, has
been very unfortunate for the butchers. In
April of last year, they asked the gentlemen OF
the Board of Health to inform them, PRIOR to
May 1st ensuing, whether they would be COM
PEELED to remove their places of business, IN
order that they might have time to dispose OF the
premises they then occupied, and secure other
premises up town before the renting season ter
minated but, for some reason, the Board post
poned action until the middle OF May, when
they issued an order forbdding animals to be
slaughtered south Of Fortieth-st. In the mean
time, the butchers had taken their premises
for another year, but were compelled to quit
and remove up town, where they leased or
purchased property, in which they continued
until November last. when the Supreme Court
decided that the Board of Health had exceeded
its power, and the butchers were permitted TO
