"EARLY DEw" Practically CONSIDERED
An exchange paper says: Last year nearly
sixty thousand horses died-one third Of all in
the coIony-on the Cape of good Hope, from
some disease which could not be accounted
for. Many sheep were also lost. from an
unusual disease. 1t is now thought that this
calamity was occasi0ned by allowing the ami
mails to eat grass with the dew on it. From
time immemorial it has been precept with
careful shepherds not to let the sheep turn
out upon the dewy grass, or Craze in damp or
marshy regions. Why was the dew Of the

not tell YOU why it was so, he ayerred that

very simple explanation to justify the EN-
pirical precept. Sebold. the great compara-
tive anatomist, has given the rationale in his
curious treatise on EntoZoa. Many Of the
creatures pass the early PARTON of their
predatory existence in the bodies of Que

This chance: the rain washes them into the
earth, or the farmer filings them in manure
upon the soil. The humidity serves to de-

to state that upon the adoption ofthe final report
of the Grand Jury perfect unanimity prevailed,
and no feeling of spite was exhibited. The
Grand Jury, after paving visit to the Hospital,
believing that an improvement in the attendance
of nurses, in the food in some eases, also in the
rooms, was requisite so reported. The article
above alluded to evinces, at least, disregard of
propriety. If the inuendo of the editor is founded
upon facts, why does he not boldly state them
1t was the desire of the Grand Jury to remedy
existing difficulties by simple reference to them,
believing that such improvements as were appar-
emily necessary would at once be made. Mild
language was employed in the expression of
