THE MURRAIN.

We are informed that the Merritt* has lately appeared
amongst the cattle in some parts of the counties of Brecon.
Radim, Cardigan, end Carmarthen, bat hope the report will
prove ■ofusaded. This disease is highly contagious, generally
fatal, and mostly occurs in dry seasons, but happily very sel-
dom in this country. Its symptoms are, the animals haoging
down their heads, which are swell's, palpitation of the heart,
short and but brew bieg, staggering,• viscid secretion from the
eyes, rattling in the throat, and a shising tongue. We believe
no certain remedy Is known fur the disorder; bleeding and
purging bare been recommended, with schuss iu the dee lap—
after the operation ofpurgatives, opiates and aromatics are said
to be of use, and we think change of food would also be roved
serviceable, with a portion of salt, two or three mowed, mixed
in it daily. On the Arse appearance of the symptoms of this
quadruped Plague, the healthy rattle should be issesdiiiiarefp
removed from those affected as far as possible, to (nab shady
pasture, with plenty of water, and salt given them daily in
some food, about two or three ounces each day; the recovery
of the diseased cattle we fear will always be vest' toicertaie,
sad we strongly recommend where animals die with the
symptoms we have described, • skilful veterinary surgeon
should be procured to °pea one of them, as thee he will be
enabled to judge of the best method of trestiug t►e disorder.
The grestert care must be takes to prevent the spreading of
the disease, which is very iefectious, and may be di/gemi-
nated throughout the coeutry if seglocted.—(fierlford

The match for fifty guineas aside between yang
Brown, the eusierintinger, sod Bunn, the Dept.
ford youth, was made at Burn's, in ‘Vindasill-
street. on Thursday evening. to fight for fifty
guilty.* aside on the 25th of September. They
are the two best miniature boxers on the list. They
