| lent health when he left for the visit to his
relatives, in NanSemond, few weeks ago.

been received that the beef which was
shipped from the Jersey City abattoir to
England hy the steamer AbysSinia arrived
in an excellent condition, and brought good
prices in the London and Liverpool mar

American beef was rapidly bought up at
less than hah the price charged for English
beef. Now that regular ice compartments
