However, a 22 ounce losf of fresh bread is now fornished while the men are in camp ta lieu of the hard bread nearly every day in the week. The ration of meat is 1\¥ pounds of salt or fresh beef, or xeene of bacon or pork. Fresh beef is fu to men in camp seven days out of ten. The fat pork grievance has been another bugbear, but Pork served out bears a very ‘mall proportion to the beef and bacon. An cld soldier, but a young man yet, assures us that on a lépg march, such ag those over the plains, nothing is more nourishing or palatable than a thin slice of said pork, raw, sandwiched between two Diseuits. e ‘With the hundred rations of beef and bread is farnished eight quarts of beans, or in lieu thereof, ten pounds of rice or hominy, and one pound of three times a week, or a substitute At the commissary stere will now be found dessiccated potatoes and mixed (de- siccated) vegetables. Of these an ounce and 8 balf of potatoes or an ounce of other vegetables are ailowed to the ration, in lieu of beans or rice. Any one who knows anything of vegetables thus prepared is aware that such a quantity will make 2 rich soup and more than enough for most men. a potatoes are also “‘ very nice’? fried in small cakes. Wits the hundred rations are also furnished fifteea pounds of sugar, ten pounds of ground eoffee, (or in lieu thereof, od page of burnt coffee or one —— tea,) four quarts of vinegar, eat apres salt, four pounds of soap, and one pound of sperm candies, (or in lies ‘thereof, one and one quarter pound of ademantine or one cad a balf pound of tallow candles.) Extra Sesues of molasses are occasionally made Let us see now only a few of the plainest home dishes which might figure on a bill of fare at any messtable. Beef soup, roast beef, brolled steak, eorned beef, boiled » fried pork, baked Desus, (with the invaluable morceau of pork,) Doiled rice, fried potatoes, &c. We have not exhausted the subject, bat this will suffice.

He was picked upand laid in a convenient place neaf by, and a physician sent for, who mptly arrived, and after examining the body discovered that life ‘was extinct. It was presumed thnt the neck of the unfortunate man was broken by the fall, or Abat the horse trod upon him efterward.
