For The Cecil WI
DONATION PARTY.

Rev. Chas. P. Mallory, Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Chesapeake City,
Nd, was recently the recipient of SUI
prise donation on the eve of his departure
for short trip to the Valley of Virginia.
The members Of his congregation in
goodly numbers brought many of the deli
cacies and necessaries of life, such as vege-
tables, poultry, hams, eggs, butter, lard,
tea, coffee, sugar, cakes confectionery, a
beautiful bronze mounted lamp, kindhng
wood, &c, &c.
AL these Mr.. Mallery proposes to put to
good account for, although a bachelor, he
Paul-like possesses facilities for house
keeping, and enjoys undisturbed the occu-
pancy Of CHS own hired house,
His neat and convenient dwelling was
temporarily taken possession of by the
visitors, who scattered themselves into the
halls, parlor. sitting room and study; some
of them penetrating even to the kitchen
and cellar making the whole house ring
with their merry music and laughter, until
all were summoned to participate in the
interesting ceremony Of presenting to their
Pastor a roll of money of no mean dimen-
sions.
Elder f. L. Hlppie, IN behalf OF the con-
gragation congratulated Mr.. Mallery upon
the success that had attended his efforts in
building up prosperous and influential
church, assured him of the hold be had
upon the affections of his people and ex-
pressed confidence for the future.
In closing. Mr. Nipple faeetiously re-
marked, taat if he might be permitted to
SUCCESS so his Pastor what disposition
coaid DO made of the money just present
ed, ne would recommend that the time
honored custom of giving at least one half
to the minister's wife, might prevail in
this case.
Dir. Mallery, in few appropriate re-
marks, accepted the kind gift as an express
sion of his peoples continued atfectionate
regard and assured them that if he should
discover Mrs. Mallory during his absence
he would pro5ajly act on the above sugges.
ton. But as i'll exercises of that character
he was so inexperienced, and as he had
hitherto been sebject to considerable mis-
givings as t.. the proprety of the same, he
hoped lis friends would not demand any
rash ca positive promises.
after an evening pleasantly spent in
singing, conversation, and partaking Of
refreshments, the company returned te
their homes and Mr.. Mallory started or
his trip to Virginia.

&c. &. Fulton in his letters to the
44me,7caa from Texas gives the following
description of cattle slaughterng estab-
lshment at Fulton, near Corpus Christi:
THE sLAUGHTERING PROCESS.
Our Baltimore butchers would be as
much startled as | was at the wholesale
process of killing carried on in the estab-
lishment. The ordinary plan Of drawing
the steer down to the block and striking
him on the head with an axe is too slow
for the wholesale butchery carried on here.
About one dozen head are driven INTO a
small pen, just sufficiently large to hold
that number closely packed, and gate
forced TO behind them. This pen has an
open slat platform across the top of it,
upon which two men are stationed with
poles with sharp pointed knives fixed on
the end of them. With a rapdity acquir-
ed by long practice, they plunge their
spears into the necks of the affrighted and
struggling animals, cutting the jugular
vein, and each successfully falls as if struck
down with an axe. The blood speuts out
in streams as if from dozen fountains,
and in less than minute the whole pen
full are down quiverng in the throes of
death, and covered with blood. The door

room is then thrown open, the animals
drawn out in succession, knife rapieay
Sits the skin around the neck and Gown
the stomach. A rope is attached 10 the
upper part of the hide by clssap, to the
other end of which is a mu'o, which leis-
urely walks off down tho yard carrying
the skin of the animal with him, and leav-
ing the carcass still quiverirg with animal
life. A tackle hoists the body up to a
level with the, mouth, of ono Of .ha i'm
mense caulrrons, ss4 in less time than we
have taken to describe the process it is in
the seethirg and boiling mass. There are
four or five of these cauldrons, each large
enough, to hold dozen beeves, and they
are kept constantly going during killing
season. The tallow is drawn off into large
hogsheads, and the remains of these great
soup kettles are carted out on what is call
ed " the hash pile,' consisting of bones,
horns, and the animal matter. from which
all the fatty substance has been extracted.
