A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF THEIR WORK AM

CAPACITY.
Herewith is given in tabular form COM
parison OF the street railroads Of the city with one an
other and with the Elevated Railway to the number
Of cars engines OF passengers carried daily
of the average daily receipts and gross annual income
and Of rate speed The figures are taken mainly from
the reports made the State Engineer and Surveyor 1t
ia only fair to state that the daily receipts othe Elevated
Road are constantly increasing For the last three
months 1876 the receipts $6445O The average
number OF given table is for the month
OF December but since the opening Of the new year the
daily average with the exception OF Sundays las been
about 10000. The facilities for carrying still larger
number passengers by this road are also increasing
In March engines will be put in use and II the
road is completed 10 the Battery 1t Is doubtful II even
these will be equal to the demand In the schedule time
ON the surface roads little allowance is made for stops
The running time the Elevated Road for i've miles Is
minutes allowing for Ia stops III each OF these taxes
half mnute-they usually consume more time-the rte
of specd would be mile In four minutes. III no stops
we're made the five miles could be in IA minutes.

shooting out in Virginia, Nevada, the
other day. Said one of the marksmen:
eSome time ago I was out in New
York State hunting grouse. There was
an old fellow along who was near
sighted. We were just at the edge Of
the farm, when suddenly one of my
favorite game cocks jumped up on the
fence and he drew a bead ON it, mis-
taking it for a grouse. didn't have a
second to lose, and just threw up my
rifle and quietly knocked off the left
nipple Of his shot gun at fifty yards, so
that when the hammer fell the nipple
and cap wouldn't be there-see?"
''You saved the bird, thenp,' Clipped
in an attentive listener. NO." an
swered Austin, sadly. 81 picked out
the wrong nipple; the fellow fired the
right barrel and blew my fifty dollar
game-cock all to blazes.'' The crowd
quietly dispersed.

The Cattle Plague in England.

The Cattle Plague Committee Of the
British House of Commons have agreed
in their report to recommend that all
importations from Germany, Russia
and Belgium be absolutely prohibited;
that cattle imported from all other
countries be killed at the place Of land
ing; that stock in metropolitan markets
should only be removed for slaughter;
that all movements of cattle in infected
districts be prohibited; that fairs and
markets be stopped; that infected farms
be subjected to quarantine; that COM
pensation for pleuro pneumonia be the
same as for the cattle plague; that all
cattle sheds in towns be subjected to
registration and inspection. Notwith-
standing these stringent measures the
disease is on the increase in London
and environs. So infectious is the
disease that it is dangerous for cattle to
pass the infected districts or to breathe
