Tie Annua, display of shsw Beef

The annual Display of shaw Beef
The melancholy days of the year have come
for animals of the bovine species, aud the cattle
on thousand hills, who for the past few months
have been eating their Ill to the satisfaction Of
their stonlachs and the glory of George WASH
ington, are now being sacrificed to the memory
OF that gentleman.
among the many other Englishy tastes of the
Father of our Country, he had u weakness for
fat beef and hence at each recurrence of the ati-
Divcrsary of his firth, the latest cattle of the
lund are slaughtered In honor Of his memory,
and from all the tfying-pans and bake-ovcns in
America, there goes up Incense 10 his name.
The quantity of intentionally fat beef an
nually consumed about this time of year through
out this country is ont OF the most touching and
convincing evidences ever offered in relutation of
the ancient saying, that Republics are always
ungrateful."
The Twenty-seeond of February (Washius-
toms blrthdny.) falling on Monday this year, the
butchers made their annual display of Show
Beef on Friday evening aud Saturday morning.
The display wps even finer than usual, both rs to
quantity and quality, hut we have not space to
give II more than very brici notice.
