British StOck.Yards.
london Letter to New York Times


On Monday visited the great live
stock market Of London, known as the
Metropolitan Market 1t is situated in
Islington, and is well-planned and
well-kept business place. The yard has
long rows of open pens in which the
cattle stand, tied by the neck to the
crOss-bars. This leaves the beast enough
liberty TO admit of the buyer judging of
him. Every pen has room for 100
head. The sheep pens are also open,
and hold in the aggregate $4,000 head.
The pens for calves are raised above
the level Of the yards, and are shelter
ed with roofs, the sides being Open.
There is room, yet again, for 1000
swine. These animals remain under
shelter. Four thousand head of horned
cattle have room at one time, together
with the other numbers given. The
alley-ways, pens and causeways are
foOred with granite blocks. There are
four hotels, one on every corner of the
space occupied by the market. The
hotel, the Black Bull, kept by the
Widow Davis, appears the favorite.
IslingtOn market is most easy Of access.
Tramways, omnibuses, and railways
lead to it from all directions. A strong
palisade of wrong ht-iron work surrounds
these yards, the entrances to which are
wide and handsomely ornamented with
bulls heads. In the centre of this in
closure is building for bank and mar
let offices; also telegraph and post
office. The sanitary laws are rigidly
enforced. The market is swept out and
flushed every day after business hours.
On Friday there is market for horses,
ponies, and donkeys; also for miscel-
laneous articles, where those who will
can buy anything from pin to steam
pillow. Close to the livestock yards is
what Britons call lairage, where weary
beasts are rested, and where herds aud
focks are collected to await market
days. This lairage is sheltered and sub
divided, and provender can be had at
fair rates. In compliance with recent
act of parliament, spacious slaughter
houses have beer erected adjoining the
livestock yards. The animals are
slaughtered in a most merciful manner;
one blow from the pointed end of
pole-ax stuns the beast, the butcher
then inserts the point of the lance into
the pith (anatomically speaking, sewers
the spinal cord), then one cash sewers
the great blood vessels of the throat.
The blood flows freely; there is no pain,
no discoloration, death having been in
Simultaneous.

American Goods in Ireland.
Baltimore Sun.

Ex-Congressman Peddie. of New
Jersey, states that during a recent visit
to Ireland he could not fail to notice
the demand for American goods. The
preference for them over those manu-
featured in England amounted almost
to enthusiasm among the people, and
this feeling is rapidly growing. The
largest hardware store in the city of
Dublin has prominently displayed on
the sign s"American Ironmonger"-the
word 'ironmonger' being used in that
country in the same sense that "hard-
ware merchant" is here.

MARRIED
Beginning Married Life on Small
Capital of Money, But Any Amount of
Love and PlHck--The Happy Result.
Rochester (Olmsted Coz Record.

rochester (Olmsted Coz Record
On Saturday afternoon, during the
month of April, 1854, a young man
living then in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
walked into a dry goods store and Sc
cured a certain amount of time on a
thirty-dollar suit Of clothes. He then
walked home and borrowed four dollars
OF his tather,-an amount which, by the
way, completely exhausted the old gen
tleman's stock of ready cash then this
lmpecunlous young man went to a ]iv.
cry stable and engaged "rig" for next
days use, paying for the same three
dollars in advance, and tucking the re.
naming dollars in his inside vest pocket
as carefully as if it required three fig
ures to represent its value instead oil
one, he went home, made mOckery OF
his supper, donned his new suit Of
clothes and went to see his girl,-SaraE
Maria Fiegel.
The next day, arrayed in his new
clothes and the livery rig, he drove
around and got Miss Fiegel, and started
for WATERFOWL, ostensibly to be presen,
at the chri> tening of the lady's sisters
child, but in reality to get married
which they did to their entire satisfac.
ton after the minor ceremony of christ
ening the child was concluded. 1t NAV
be as we'll to mention here that the
clergyman received that dollar, and our
young friend at this time very much re-
sembled the foaming waters after the
mighty leap at agitated but
centless.
The bride, being possessed of some
few dollars, decided to stay until the
next day SO as to do some trading; and
the next day she was buying some
knives and forks. plates, and some tick
ing for straw bed, when her other self
rushed in and said "See here, Sarah,
you must save some of this money to
pay our bill with" Sarah, approaching
the situation, did so.
In the fall of '72 Mr.. J. G. thinner
man and wife, the couple attended to
somewhat in the above, settled in
Roch ester, and by their united labors
have since acquired competence, and
now look back with considerable pleas
ure upon their easy married experience
Wednesday night, the 25th anniver-
sary of their marriage, they entertained
ABOUT 10 OF their friends at their
house in this city, and royal good
time was enjoyed by all present. A
magnificent feast had been prepared,
and the wagon load ofdelicacies carried
there by the guests was just so much in
excess of demand. A large number of
elegant and costly presents were made
over to the happy couple. Presentation
speeches were made and responded to,
and after all was said and done the
company adjourned to Library Hall,
and danced till fiddle strings wearied
with the strife.
In concluding it is proper to add that
Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman commenced
the second quarted century Of their mar
ried life honored and esteemed by all
who know them, and the hope that
their lives may be as happy and pros
porous in the future as in the past, is
shared in by the community at large.

A STORY is told to the effect that a
young man left off smoking and in five
years was worth $4,000. The New
York Commercial Advertiser spoils the
moral of it, however, by needlessly add
ing that the money was left to him by
an uncle. itea ea

inspector will have several contiguous blocks to e1-
anime, instead of single blocks III different
sections. Professor Chandler told TMB-
UyE reporter that he expected the examine
ton to last for three months Each case where the
law should be enforced will be taken hold OF at
once, as it comes up. He thinks that the convIc-
ton of a few landlords will have strong influence
on others. Many inspectors reported that already
improvements had been begun on account OF the

NEWARK EXCISE TROUBLES.

The Newark Board of Excise held a meeting yes
terday. granted one license, laid several appllca-
tons on the table and rejected large number The
Rev. w. w. McNair, of the Law and Order Assocla-
ton, objected to the granting of certain license
when Alderman Theberath. of the Fifteenth Ward
yehemently dcnouced the course pursued by Mr.
McNair. Looking directly at HIM, Alderman Ihe0e-
rath said: "YOu have sOwn the seeds Of dlScord IN
This community; YOU should be the last man TO
appear here against saloon-keepers for making loud
noises near your mission church, when your con-
certs and variety shows at your mission make the
night hideous aud render sleep impossible" The
license. however, was not granted. Soon afterward
Excise Com nlssoner smith SAID; uhGeTslanu
from Trustworthy authority that the Rev. Mr.. Par
sons has threatened to 60 before the next Grand
,Jury and urge the Indictment of the Excise Board
and as that gentleman Is evidently not tamlhar
with matters IN tins community, would inform
him that the next Grand Jury will meet on the LIST OF
September" The attendance at the meeting was
very larg. as usual and considerable Ill feeling was
manifested.
