of the Legislature, to take into considera-
ton the cattle distemper, convened at noon
to- day, when communication was received
from the Governor on the subject, which
was referred to joint committee OF IA
members OF the House and of the Senate.
The Governor estimated the number of neat
cattle in the United States at 10000, ,000.-
He urges the importance Of checking the
contagion. lie suggests a thorough inves-
tigation of the disease, and thinks that the
transit of cattle through the several towns
may require additional legislation.
