was present to-day at an examination Of TIVE
animals that died of pleuro-ppeumonia
The disease Is at Chatham about eight miles from
this place, and at Newark, on the farm of Abram
johnson.
The history Of the disease at these places near
we can learn, is this. During the Summer of 1853,
Mr.. II. L. JacObus bought some twenty young cattle
in New-York, which he brought home and turned
into pasture, some three miles from Chatham. 1t
was about three weeks after when Mr. j. again saw
them, when, to his SURPRISE he found two dead,
snd two or three others sick They were at once
placed in separate pasture, and none of these have
since had the disease. During the same Fall, DR..
Mum of Chatham, bought three beers from this lot
of healthy cattle, yardng them with his other stock.
Soon after which tho disease made its appearance
among some of his older animals-four dying very
soon after, and others taking the disease, but re-
covering.
From DIR. NUNS yard it was communicated TO that
of Mr. Lum, by driving there, where she re-
manned but short time Mr.. Lum has since lost six
cattle; four others which had the disease, he thinks
have recovered and one IL now suffering from 1t, but
with prospect Of recovery
From these wards spread TO six othes-each of them
losing from one TO five Misunderstanding twenty four
deaths in all in this place. There now but two
IN the place; and IL hoped that, with proper
care, il may be confined 10 them.
The cases at Newark are also traced directly to cat
tie brought from New-York Mr.. Abm johnson, a
farmer and dairyman living about one mile from
Newark on the road leading 10 Elizabeth, bought in
Brownings yards in New York, about the 10Th of De-
cember last, six Spring calves, and took them TO his
farm, where he then had some sixty head About SIX
weeks after receiving these calves one OF them was
taken sick refused Its feed and showed all the symp-
toms of the disease as it exists in Massachusetts
After lingering about two weeks it died. Two weeks
after, cow taken in the same way she also
lived for about two weeks. About three weeks after
three others took it, and have been frequent
up TO this time. Mr.. johnson has lost four animals
has had five cases which he thinks have entirely re-
covered, has now five sick, and one was killed to-day
for examination making fifteen cases IN all on his
place. Early in May of this year Mr.. johnson sent
fortytwo head Of bis cattle including the five remain
ing calves from Browniugs yard TO Newfoundland,
Morris County, TO pasture for the Summer Az that
place there are large tracts of uBincosed lands on
which large numbers Of cattle pastured during the
Summer and these cattle it is feared may, by coming
in contact with hundreds of Others spread the disease
over wide extent of country. Mr.. johnson, at the
time Of sending these cattle to pasture was not aware
Of the nature of the disease and has not since heard
from them.
/ was present to-day at examination Of two ami
mails on bis pace-One bull that died yesterday, the
other killed to-day, for the purpose Of examine
ton. The autopsy was conducted by DR.. Z. I.
Gryce, " s., of your city, in presence of Drs. George
A. Quimby and Woodruff of Morristown and Drs.
Ward and Peck of Newark. Gov. Olien of our
State Mr. Hated, President Of the State Agricultural
Society, A. Nj. Treadwel, esq, of Madison, Benjamin
Haines, esq, of Elizabeth, and some twenty other
gentlemen principally interested in stockrasing, were
also present. The bull that died yesterday was the
first animal examined, and after him cow that had
been sick week Both presented every ind,
cation of the disease existing in Massachusetts, and
were pronounced by Dr. Gryce, well as the medical
gentlemen present, unmstakabe cases OF pleuro-
pneumonia. The cases examined at Chatham presented
the same convincing proof tnd too well satisfied
hat have the dreadful plague already in our midst
