the rain which fell early n morn

The Agricultural Department gave
the number Of cattle in Texas n 1856
as 3.III.475,. while the latest depart
mental estimatis, giving the number
in February, 1869, place it at 2,b9I ,33S
head. This is a decrease Of fl4,l3 IN
three wears. The census also shows
that not only Texas, but all the South
ern States and most of the Northern
States, contain a much smaller num-
Der of cattle than they did ten years
back.
