Conllieting reports a;v circu lated concerning the loss of sdoek about Drewsey, and t int our readers mav arrive at a just csri- mate, v.v refer them to a K ttt-r written hv Mr. m. the Xkws, as follows I will give you the regard to how stoel over here, for I have Alt: low fo- true side in are-firing seen diiTer- ent reports concerning stock in this country. 'i nt first was t:iv- en by Mr. McLetian some time ago, at .0 per cent. The way things looked at that time he was right, for it looked discouraging, and he may be nearer right yet. The last report said, as I saw in the Xkws, that the loss would j be live per cent. That man .1 t ! Knows nothing aoout it, or win fullv misrepresented the eas:-. for I will give you facts and figure.-. which are right. Mr. Robertson, the 'PF," as we call it, and myself fed what we could., Mr. Robertson had in over ot 10 head I think between "jiKJand C ! M l. He lo-d out of that i j - i i io: t over 1 lend, also o percent, j 'what are fed."' had in a few , of over 100 head. I !o?t (5 of them, i ing, lolling with their feet upon also .") p-r cent."

If we get off with 2 j "r cent., loss we are doing well, , ! for our horses in some localities have not fared well. The Miller ; lro went tt) their corral above : the swamp and found six head j dead. A man drove in from Ida: ho horses in good condition, and lost 12 or Ui head. Mr. McIIa ley, as I read in tiie Nhws. lost 'A)1.) head of sheep. lie also left ji bad place ami got into a worse one.

Three v.eks ago I went to the junction of the South and Middle Forks of the Malheur, and through the hills to the North Fork The trip consumed four days. I rode through bands of cattle finding some of them very low. None of them look any too wvll. It was all they could do to navigate, and here and there was tole seen a dead one.

Mr. Cleveland's fast appoint was a criminal lawyer, named Montgom ery, who, if lie had been asked at the time to define a patent, must have had recourse to the diction ary. Conscious of his ijrnora'ice he left cvervthing to the o.nploy.s of the Ottie'e. ' The employes, clerks, examin- ers, bureau chiefs and copyists, ; I' nty thousand inventors paying into the Patent Office over a mil- nan ooiiars per year, petitioned, prayed and cursed, in vain, for action on their cases. About a year ago all Patcntdom was leioieed by the announcement that Montgomery had recigtie.l. Now we will have a change Any thing! "What e'rn betide we've seen the worst! The change came , in the shape uf the ptcseitt Com missioucr, Air. Jlali, an intelli gent, educated, phlegmatic mm, who not only knew how to deliuc a patent, but did nothing butd'.' line, re. inc. and super subtertine them, until bis subordinates and ! patent lawyers cannot find his' meaning. 1 His definitions in the shape of j decisions on cases appealed to him i have bet n in the teeth of iaw and ! -t-t lo'i.sbcd usage, and have thrown I tic practice into confusion, j Meanwhile the actual work of the Patent Mhve, lha. of examining j imentions on I issuing jiatents. t has gone from bad to worse. Mr. Ibdl, absorbed in the mysteries of abstract Patent law, appeals to be unaware tha the immense force of priiii'ipnl and assistant examiners are month behind with their work and ar making no effort to catch up. '1 his is not an overdrawn pic- ! l ii r-- ot the condition in which .Mr. Yiias found the Patent Oftiee To picture the ehairrir., the des- pair and the agor.y of the thirty j thousand or more inventors whose j rights under the Patent law have been so .shamelessly dehtyc I and neglecttd, would require the gen ius of a I lore. Mr. Y.his has a Napo'.eoire hab it of poking about the c:mp ii.ceg, ami without brass band a'-compani-ment. Last week he took a stroll through the Dep irtmeut. Il s.iw things that are quite familiar to the habitues of the Patent Ollice, hut which filled him with riAl- cons wrath. High sal.u:cit men were reading, telling stories, ink- i for patent; Then Mr. Yilas itupured con . ruing the cond.t:on of a ea'c ni out which the inventor had wr : h n to him. If any I ut the Secre ts ry of the Interior hud appealed to Mr. Hall, ho would In ve got s-ich plausible explanation us the negligent ami en pabh examiner ou!d make up. He probed the mattV't ami found that action on ihc case had been wnitonly neg lected. The inventor, who is a very poor man, had lost several humbed d Olars. But this is on -ly one of thousan Is of case--. The result ot Mr. Yiias' tour of inspection was an order issued prohibiting rcnling, letter writing, gossiping, .loafing and vi-iting among the employes of the Patent Oflice. The order is excellent. But it's enforcement ! There's the mid I he employes of the Patent Ollice occupy as many as a hund red rooms, and they work, or rather avoid work, with closed doois. They are skilled in all the arts of evading cspiomge, and if school beys contrive to eat apples and rend dimo novels under tho eye of ihu teacher, what can these older off-odors do behind close I doors, screens ni.d m:mntot!i desks. The wietched condition ot bus iness under the present bead of , the Ollice and bis excentric nil- illS has suggested a remodeling of J theU. S. Patent Ofiico and its ! bnv-.
