THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIB,-1 am acquainted with an elderly medical gentle..
man who has seen much of this disease in the West Indies,
Central and South America, also Russia, and is perfectly
familiar with it. He has recently attended and cured
part
of a dairy of cows, 30 of which had died before he at-
tended. On his arrival two of the cows were in a very
advanced stage of the disease—he applied his remedy,
and in twelve hours they were convalescent, and in a few
days were perfectly restored to health with a full flow
of milk, which had previously entirely left them. The
others affected were quickly restored to health, and the
remaining cows, about twenty, had the remedy adminis-
tered, and were thereby prevented receiving the disease.
He says, generally speaking, that all animals under his
treatment will be cured in three days, and others prevented
catching the disease, even when mixed with others
suffering from it in the most virulent form, (tad that no
animal will be ever subject to it afterwards.
Some weeks since he stated to me his conviction that
if this disease was not suppressed, that not only sheep
but all animals, and lastly, human beings, would be
liable to its contamination—which appears to be already
verified as to sheep—but that if his system wore to be
generally adopted, it might be effectually and entirely
driven out of England in a few months. He is willing
to attend any diseased animals, and to-further prove the
truth of his system. -
I consider this most important information for the
public, and if you should entertain the same opinion, per-
haps you will be good enough to insert it in your paper.
This gentleman is over 80 years of age, and has re-
quested me to answer any applications that may be made,
which I shall be happy to do.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

CURIOUS MODE OF CONVEYING A BRIDE'S FOR-
TUNE.—During the first half of the eighteenth century a
'Whitby gentleman married a lady in Hull, who had the
then large fortune of £lO,OOO, which was paid in guineas,
and conveyed from Hull to Whitby in a cart or waggon,
heaped up with straw, and accompanied by two men
dressed as rustics, each armed with a formidable hayfork.
THE ABSCONDING CONNECTICUT BANK CLERK.
—Jeremiah Townsend, who was arrested at Liverpool for
absconding with $lOO,OOO of the money of the Townsend
savings bank at New Haven, Connecticut, was placed ort
trial at New Haven on the 19th of September. The pro-
ceedings were brief, for he pleaded guilty, and was ,sen-
tenced to seven years' solitary confinement, with hard
labour, in the State prison.

COMMITTAL FOR PERJURY.—At the Exeter city
police-court on Saturday a rather remarkable case was
heard, arising out of proceedings in the revising barrister's
court. When an objection made by the Liberal party was
about to be heard by the barrister, the Conservative advo-
cates (Mr. T. J. Bremridge and Mr. F. Sanders) took ex-
ception to the notice, which bore the post-mark " August
26," a day too late. Mr. Strowbridge, the Liberal "runner,"
had produced. his duplicate notice, saying,
"Served by
post, August 25," and. this duplicate was handed to the bar-
rister. On examination of the post-office stamp it was
evident that there had been an alteration of the date. The
post-office clerks were sent for, and they were positive that
not only had the figure " 6" been turned into "5," but that
the index letter, showing the mail by which the notice had.
been issued, had also been altered. Moreover one of the
clerks distinctly recollected Strowbridge bringing one
notice and duplicate On the morning of the 26th'
and that he (the witness) had observed that it was a day
behind time. He likewise remembered part of the
address on the notice. Strowbridge, who had formerly
been a letter-carrier, persisted in his statement that he had
posted. the notice on the 25th. The barrister said until
Strowbridge had cleared himself he must hold him guilty
of altering the post-office stamp. He should retain the
notices, and take time to consider whether he could take
further notiee of the matter. On Friday the Conservative
advocates obtained a summons against Strowbridge, and
on Saturday he was brought before the city magistrates on
the charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. The revising
barrister, his clerk, and others were examined. Mr. Fryer,
ou behalf of the defendant, argued that the oath admini-
stered to Strowbridge, to give a true answer to all ques-
tions, was administered to him in his capacity of assistant
overseer, andnot as a server of notices ; also that the altera-
tion had not been traced to him, and that he believed he
was speaking the truth when he said the notice had been
served on the 25th. The bench considered the case proved
and committed Strowbridgo to take his trial at the spring
assizes. Bail was accepted, himself in £lOO and two sure_
ties of .£5O each.
