By that time half the cattle arc foi nd dead ; the owner threatens the lighterman °'k Captain Beckham for his loss; the other half f the cattle are let loose upon society just at the 0 when women and children are moving about.

Into this trap " ule could be landed at any time of the day and at c ?, times o f the tide, without danger to our citizens. Tl ere they could be safely fed and watered until the proper time for removing them—say half an „ur before sunrise—before our population begin 1 move. This stockyard, which should have a gate iol ind as well as a Sea gate, could be made a source Hoping these lines will have some tendency to correct this evil, .
