Among other army contractors OF
high and low degree at or about Wash
ington was one who had purchased, as
the highest bidder, the dead horses OF
the Army Of the Potomac, for which he
paid 81. 78 each, delivered at his ''estab-
lishment." They averaged in the win
ter, fifty a day, and were thus disposed
OF: First, the shoes were pulled of
then the hoofs were cut off; then the
names and tails we're sheared. The
animal was then skinned, the carcass
was boiled that the tallow might be ex-
tracted, the best of the bones were
sold for knife handles, and the re-
mainder to be ground up for fertilizers.
The total result was that these different
parts Of the dead nag we're worth, when
prepared for market, a tleast S25 a head,
and the profits of the contractor were
consequently very large.

was as large as any preceding reception of

room was cleared in sixteen minutes. Sew

attention on private matters. One indi-

the laughter of the crowd, and endervored
