called rather worse than yesterday; In fact, II
Is haZarding but little to assert that about
two-lhirds of all the horses actively EMPLOYED
In the city are disabled. The deserted appear

fact. Broadway reminds one Of the conscrip.
ton riots of 1863, when the omnibuses stopped
running aud the railway cars made their
trips only at rare Intervals. Occasionally an
animals holding down their heads and ftoth-
ing at the mouth. The owners say they
might as we'll work them as not, as long as
their strength lasts, as they are sure to die
anyhow. People who talk in this way are, or
ought to be, subjects for Mr.. Bergh. The
various railways are doing the best they
can 10 maintain travel, but the number Of
cars ls hourly diminishing, and on the Third,
Fourth and Ninth aVenne lines, ever now,

no easy matter to procure transportation for
their goods from place to place; the express

ment. A change Of weather, 1t Is hoped, will
bring with IL q mitigation Of the disease.
There Ia a loud cry from all sides for dummy
engines; the CRY is In vain, as no dummies are
to be had. Commodore Vanderbilt has a large
number on had, but he says they are needed
to pull his freight cars TO the uptown depot,
and he has none to spare.
