to an aggregate Of more than forty
millions Of dollars, The meat of the
bullocks and the sheep was sold chiefly

To this enormous amount is 10 be add
ed the supply furnished from the
smaller abattoirs in the upper part Of
the city, and from the private slaugh-
tering-houses which are owned by
butchers in n small way of business.
A proposition is now before the Board
Of Health for the concentration Of all
the slaughtering process carried on in
this city into one immense establish
ment on the North river, between
Thirty-ninth and Forty-first streets; ;
the chief argument in its favor being
the apprehension that all the slaugh-
terers will be driven out Of the city, to
the injury Of local interests and to adj
vantage Of New Jersey. If this class
Of public nuisances is welcome to Jcr-
seymen, let them enjoy the full benefit,
New York can get on without such
aids to its local enterprise

Well, we are to have a journalistic
rifle match at Creedmoor. Press din
ners, press excursions, press free fayors

settle. The eye that has been fixed
intent on one Of these objects all the
while, cannot descend to an ordinary
buIl's-eye. Then in what order shall
the contestants step up TO the line
But all these details confuse the mind.
We respectfully ask the National Rife
Association for further information
