Slaughter Your Own Meats.

We are paying twice as much for
meats as we ought. Less than half of
all we pay goes to the producer of the
cattle. Enough to make this up to
full half and trifie more, very proper
ly goes to the butcher. If honest, he is
fairly entitled to so much. What be-
comes of the other half of all we are
paying for fresh meats?
The honest butcher and the fair
drover are getting, as a general rule, no
more than a Just compensation for the
labor and hardships they take upon
themselves in supplying the public ne
cessities, at all season and in all wealth
ers. So many of them as are not unrea-
sonably grasping, and will not stoop to
fraudulent practices in their weight,
should be paid the amount of their bills
promptly and cheerfully. But nearly
half of what we pay for our meats is yet
unaccOunted for. Who gets it .? An
swer-the big spectators in cattle of
all kinds, men with large means already
accumulated in this business, and others
with slender means of their own but
but with large bank accommodations,
who can run out from the large mar
kets 500, 1000, or !, 800 miles, and buy
large cities, and hold them back till they
can sell at their own prices. This is one
of many sharp practices by which the
great mass of the American people are
forced to pay twice as much as they
ought for an important article of living
No law exists, andperhaps none could
be made strong enough, to correct, or
even to keep these spectators within
bounds; and We see not but that the
professional men and merchants, me-
chanics, and all the laboring classes
must make up their minds to swallow
the imposition as best they can, in de-
spair of the great wrong ever being
righted.
But with the farmers 1--WE have in
mind those who live near cities) the
case is different. Redress, in part. is in
their own hands. They are under no
necessity of selling all their fattened
animals to the drover, and then repur-
chasing so much of the meat as will sup
ply their own families, at a great adj
vance on their selling prices. They
can slaughter their fattened animals at
home, to the extent of supplying their
own families with fresh meats. In
many cases when a large animal is
slaughtered, they can advantageously
turn over the surplus above their own
wants, in The payment of merchants
and mechanics bills; and it not unfre-
quently happens that the farm laborer
who works for them would be glad to
take home to his family piece of fresh
meat at reasonable price, instead OF so
much cash. The farmer and his man
could so arrange the matter as to favor
the interests of both parties. We close
with these few suggestions, thinking
that some of our readers may be so stu
ated as to profit by them.

New YORK, September Pan immense
crowd of people, estimated as high as 80
600, went to Brooklyn to-day to sec the
imitation of the balloon. Many roofs of the
high buildings in this city were covered
with people with glasses to view its pro-
missed ascension.
The process of imitation commenced this
morning and continued steadily during the
day and afternoon. Many believed there
would be Il bona .tide ascension, but others
were skeptica'.
At ten minutes past the balloon
sway ed to the north, ripped halfway around,
with great tearing sound, and fell fiat upon
the ground. An immense volume of Sas
which had been pumped into it-nearly
900 fcrt-escaped, nearly suftocatiny
