ouoo cuo,xaA on Hoo CoSsuarrIos.-From
johnson county, Indiana, we learn that the fatal
hog disease il very prevalent, but the symptoms
ara more those OF consumption than cholera
Ga, of 500 hogs put in one Enclosure, fifty
dsy we're dying. The frst symptom noticeable
lisa slight cough, which is soon followed by
dropping, stiff appearance; the nose aud lips, and
.ometimes the jaws and ears, turn blue and
swell up. and finally purging, and sometimes
vomiting, follows, aud death ensues speedily
Hogs, in every stage of the disease, have been
killed and examined for the purpose OF ascer'
tanning the nature of the disease, and the result
establishes the fact beyond scruple that the dis
ease here is inflammation of the lungs, those in
the first stages showing congested condition in
portion of the lungs, whilo those further ad.
yanced had more extensive engagement, and
in the last stages Of the disease the lungs we're
dark, dry and solid, with some liberation of the
lungs and throat. The stomach and intestines
show no signs Of disease.
The disease prevails fatally in Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island among hogs brought there
from the West.
