IERKiBLR ACCIDENT on THE V. & 7. Il.

shocking and fatal accident as follows: The

the Virginia and Truckee Railroad passing
here, occurred about ii A. NJ tod ~, at Main

morning train for Carson. cons lstIng Of a loco

cars, with the passenger Car bringing W the
rear, came along, bound up 20 Viz mia. Some
little boys, among them Herman Mau son OF
Albert Mdu of EHgluia. aged about 7 Years,
with his brother were standing up Il the plat

speed round the curve, and within a few
inches If the ttge OF the platform. With
view Of getting ride to Virginia. pro0a-
bly,, little Herman sprang forward upon one
OF the hat cars following the locomotive, and
losing us bdlauce, from the onward motion
al the train, he staggered and fell, dropping
Gown between that and the car folio ing
Horrible to late, he fell across one Of

railroad company have repeatedly warned,

RE-APPORTIONMENT OF
MEMBERS.

The bill for the re apportionment of
members of Congress for the several
States, passed the House of Represen-
tatives on Monday, and provides that
after March Sd, 1871, the House shall
be composed of 275 members. Mem
bers from the new States coming in
shall be additional to this number
Any State whose representation shall
be decreased by the new apportionment
shall not be affected thereby in the
Forty second Congress: Any State en-,
titled to additional representation shall
send them as Members at Large to the
Forty-second Congress. Afterwards,
the number is to be cut down to 275
by leaving out the surplus of members
from States not entitled to additional
representation under the new appor-
tionment.
The bill was strongly opposed by
Eastern members and warmly advocated
BY those from the West. By its pas
sage the representation from the cas-
tern States is considerably cut down,
and that of the west increased, which
accounts for the determined opposition
displayed BY the Eastern men against
the bill.

THE BEEF SUPPLY.

The prospects OF cheap and album
dant supply of beef are not very prom
Using. The latest statistics at hand
indicate that the stock Of beef cattle
throughout the country has not in.
creased in a ratio proFortionate to the
increase Of population; and those
thoroughly acquainted with the subject
say that the stock supposed to exist in
Texas has been largely over-estimated
In 1865 the number Of cattle in that
State was estimated at 3, l11,475 head :;
but the latest estimate, for the Spring
of 1869, gave only 1857, 1888 head
a decrease of 425, l37. The meat cat
tie in 1860, with a population of about
thirty one aud half millions, number
ed 20, 640,337 at the present time
the estimated number, with a popula
ton ofabout forty millions, is only 81
636, 059 bead, a decrease OF 4, 100000,
when to preserve the ratio to population
there should have been an increase of
7,000,0 600 Another important fact in
this connection is that with decrease
of meat cattle there has been an in
crease Of mich COWS to the number Of
100000 La 1860 milch cows were
81 per cent Of all he cattle of the
country, now they are - per cent an
increase attributable to the extension
Of dairy farming. Since 1860 the bust
ness of cheese manufacture has changed
largely and numerous factories have
spring up in the principal dairying dis
tricts. This has tended to increase the
stock of cows and prevent the decline
noted with other classes of cattle
