Show BEEF CATTLE. Two or three notices huvu appeared in tlio IIkiiald lately of lame numbers num-bers of Tuxad cattle beirift driven to Utah lor sale. It i.i a pity that we are called upon to chronicle such late.-, tor Utah, wiili her extensive rann fh'juld export, not import, heel' cattle. But ahe is compelled to do the latPT, and has hecn doiof? it, to a greater or It .1.1 cutout, somo tiuio.
