MAMMOTH CAIILE.-George Ayrdu1t, at a y.
rault- place, Lagrange, Duchess County, N. Y,
has fattened four steers that said TO weigh
more than any other four cattle in the world
the weight of the largest pair exceeding by
more than 800 pounds the recorded avoirdupois
Of any pair ever fattened in this country or
Europe.
The smallest weighs 5000 pounds, and the
largest probably from 300 to 400 pounds more
They are six years old, seven Fights Durham,
of fine proportions, most generous build, and as
they stand in their mammoth stalls, or recline
on the Astounding sawdust, they look like
mountains of flesh.
They have had meal most of the time Tor the
past three years, and of course all the other
food which they needed. Their general diet
has been from eight to twelve quarts day with
a dessert of beets, which their owner considers
indispensable to good health.
The theory of the owner to give them
good bone before commencing the fattenng
! process, and hence, up TO three years, he SIM
| ply kept them growing, not fattening. Atthat
| age he commenced his heavy feed, the first
| winter about peck of corn N cal and wheat
| shorts or at-meal combined, two feeds day.
| The second, ten quarts, at two feeds as before.
The third and last (the PRESENT. twelve quarts,
| at three feeds, instead of two
| The aggregate gain of the four the past year
has been about 1900 pounds the most rapid
| gain was in the case of one ofthem, 1875 pounds
| in six weeks.
They have cost the owner up to the time of
| their removal from the neighborhood Of Pough-
| keepsie to New York $500 each, and were sold
to William Lalor, of Central Market, for $500.
1t is the opinion of their owner that, except
for the fancy of making cattle that beat the
world and then selling at price which under
| ordinary circumstances no butcher would pay,
| it is not profitable or advisable to feed for the
| length of time that has been required to bring
these animals to their present enormous pro
portions aud weight.
They are on exhibition for few days, and
after being slaughtered, their skins are to be
stuffed and placed on exhibition in Central
| Park.
Mr.. Ayrault's herd is among the finest in the
country. He has some spayed heifers that arc
models in build, and of very large size, togeth-
er with some steers which if fed as long and as
we'll as the mammoth four, will equal ifnot ex-
coed them in size and weight.-He@rth ana

Congress has passed resolutions declaring the
ratification of the 18th amendment and taking
measures to have its provisions executed. The
resolutions were referred to the committee on
Judiciary.
Mr.. Chandler offered resolution on the Hst
instant, requesting the President to furnish the
House with any papers relative to the Fitz John
Porter case, as they are about to reopen that
much mooied question. We really can see no
sensible reason for entering again into rehash
of this thread-bare subject. When the music of
the camp, the tramp of moving columns, the roar
Of the bloody conflict, the groans of the wounded
and the signs of the dying have passed away and
leave but their history to mark the bloody foot
prints of their existence, we fail utterly to see
what profit can come to the country or Congress
by fighting the battle over again. The whole
affair has been once thoroughly aired in the
halls of Congress, why consume the time
belonging to the constituency of Representatives
and to the Republic, in repeating these tedious
Investigations of the military genius of one gen.
eral or the miserable bunder of another The
people and the country have had their surfeit o.
such things, and are wretchedly tired OF having
the personal pique of Representatives or that o.
their relatives gratifed by paradng the career Of
those against whom they entertain luminosity Of
whose success may have engendered ill feeling II

DANvILLE, Oct. 27.--The weather was at
first misty this morning, but cleared off in
good season for the tournament. The at
tendance was large, probably reaching five
thousand. The twenty cavaliers were adj
dressed by Il. W. Peatross, Esq, who also
made the presentations in very handsome
and appropriate manner. There were
three rings to be taken in each run, and
three runs made. The knight of the
"Haunted Stream" Mr.. Harry Wooding,
won the first honors, and received fine
gold watch. The knight of "Shady
Grove" Mr.. Robert Hodritt, won the Sc.
cond honors, and was presented with dia-
| mond ring. The knight of Cumberland"
DR.. Robinson, won the third, receiving a
handsome gold chain. The fourth knight
was Mr.. Nicholas Harston, who won the
