Show Xkw York Eatrus. Whatever may bo said nguinat New York, no one can allege a lack ot appetite as among tho failings of tho metropolis. The people of that enterprising city exhibit a voracity in the way of edibles edi-bles that almost frightens one when he contemplates the result in the ag-g ag-g rebate. For instance, they manage lo get away with 00,000 barrels of eggs every wet k Of frogs they are kss prodigal, only 10,000 being con-tsii con-tsii med in the same period. They lUo cheese pretty well, and manage to eat -b0 tons of this product every neven day; more of this than ol butter, but-ter, of which I hey only devour 100 ton. They depose of ll.iHK) beef cattle and calves, 27, i)00 sheep, and lft,iHk hogs during the same time, while during the yenr some 20.1.XKM deer, o.UM hull-do saddle, 50.000 wild ducks, and vast quanlitis of ; other game an) consumed. When i 1 we iMiileuipUte such prodigious appetites, ap-petites, we are moment -trily troublai lest this city of great caters should bring a famine on the land. We are assured, however, that they have ! been keeping un a similar rale of consumption for years, and that if tho cmps keep good there is no cause for alarm. |
