IN addition to the usual inconvenience which has been suffered by the public from the prevalence of the horse disease, we now see a complete blockaded condition of our railroads and tlie almost total suspension of all commer cial business in our city for mere lack of street transportation. This unusual state of atluirs suggests the want of some immediate relief, both to the railroads and the merchant. Lpon consultation, therefore, with the railroad au thorities and the different dray companies in the city, I hereby give notice to any and all per sons in tlie adjoining counties, that they are in vited and requested"to bring in their ox-team-; and assist us in the dray work of our city for tlie next two or three weeks, at the end of which time we hope to be able to resume the horse and mule labor. ... Parties bringing their oxen to the city wi i be allowed to nse them in the dray age of ai: goods FREE OF LICENSE.
