The Cattle Malady.

EDITOR OF TUE JOURNALISM: There is
and has been quite an excitement in this
city and vicinity in relation to q diseas
prevalent among cattle, supposed by NAM
to be hydrophobia. should think it musl
be phrenitis or phrenzy. The {" Dairyma ans
Manual' says:
The first symptoms Of this terrible disease
(phrenzy) are usually stupor, the eyes are
protrude1 and injected with blood, respra-
ton hurried, and succeeded very soon by
delirium, and followed by the most violent
raving, rushing at any thing in it's way, of
ten seeking out objects of assault. galloping
furiously about, falling down and believing
hideously. The skin sticks to the ribs and
the spine acquires an unusual constituencies.
1t is not surprising that this disease
should be mistaken for hydrophobia, as tie
same authority says:
The phrenitic OK very closely resembles
the rabid OK, yet appears to exercise less
reason and discretion, and elects less foam
from the mouth.
The Manual'' recommends the follow
ing treatment, and hope those having
cows attacked with this frightful disorder
will try it,:
Successful treatment of this diseas, is
verv difficult. The animal should be con.
fined, Gn abundance of cold water poured
from lott upon the top of the head and
neck, followed by copious bleeding and phy-
sic; and every source of annoyance, as flies,
dogs, misctievous boys, &C., removed, and
perhaps cure may be effected.
BY inserting the above, you will give val
liable Information to many Of your readers
that may be beneficial to them and allay
somcwhat'the uneasiness felt by oil OF US
about "mad cows"

An ExiifoR,a Task.

Reader, do you know what writing for
newspapers means? The following from an
exchange expresses our thoughts on the sub.
Ject at the present moment:
1t means writing in haste against the in
ciinafion, without opportunity for reflection,
1t means dressing for ball in the dark:
painting picture with single brush for
all colors; answering questions in science
from memory and questions of fact from
Imagination. 1t means attempting the i'm
possible, and making fools believe you have
done 1t. Worse than that-worst of all, it
means writing quantity in place of quality,
dliuting TASKS of fragrant wine with pals
OF tasteies water; passing off hollow tubes
TOT Dars OF solid metal; selling our souls to
the deyil-the printer a mess of not
age; sacrificing future fame to present no
cessities.
