MlLS-The statistics of agriculture show that the

Voo cows, yielding, on nn average, four quarts of
milk day, or in the aggregate, 10000 quarts. OF

HORRIBLE INCIDENT OF THE PARAGuAYAN WAR
The Buenos Avres Standard says that the war IN Para
guay is, according to the opinion of some drawing to
close it is utterly impossible to surround or TO ef-
fectually attack Lopezs position in the mountains.
Attempts do so have utterly failed 1t says that
recently, Gen. Mena Baretto, who made such a sue
cessfnl raid into the enemy's country, beratng some
twelve thousand women and children, attacked
while defling through difficult pass in the mountains
twenty-one miles long most desperate fight ensued
The Brazlians formed well the defle would ad-
nit, but the Paraguayans had battery mounted on
an eminence which raked the pass, and the rear OF
the Brazlians was completely cut off. Hundreds OF
the unfortunate families pershed being between two
fires, and the two cavalry regiments which wound up
the rear were completely cut off. All the Brazilian
cavalry, with the exception of about fifty men, es-
capped back by night, and joined the bulk Of the forces
under the command of Gen. Baretto; but from the
many accounts received, the engagement was one Of
the most sanguinary and desperate fights since this
memorable war began. N~l@&4
