For several months the subject of the cattle
Piague has been before the toard, and DIR.
NlehOls, a member of the board, has had the
subject under special consideration. DIR. s. A.
ID Mckim, surgeon of the police, under the
direction of the board, examined many cases
supposed to be the " cattle plague" and yes
terday DR.. Nichols laid before the board a re-
port from DIR. MeKim. in which he states that
ne had visited several diaries TO ascertain if
any disease existed among cattle, but found
none. He says:
The cattle plague now prevailing in Eng
land mas not appeared in our country as yet,
and think II proper means of quarantine are
maintained, will not do so. BY many eminent
Psychologists the cattle plague or rinderpest,
disease similar TO small-pO and that inocula-
zion with the smallpox virus will prevent its
spread among stock where it has made its ap-
pearance. The cattle omplaint which has
visited several different cattle yards within
this District is one which, several years ago,
made its appearance in the New England
States, and Is called pleuro- pneumonia 1t
lately appeared in Montgomery county, Pa,
and the Legislature appointed committee 10
inquire into its character, thinking from the
nTst statement made TO them that il was rim
derpest; but DIR. Hiram Corson, in his report to
the Legislature, has called il pleuro-pneumo-
MA; from The seat and character of the disorder,
and not the rInderpest."
DIR. Nichols concurs in this report 1t NAV
not be improper to state that several months
since DIR. Gudgtn and other veterinary sur
geons made a critical examination of the dis
ease then raging among cattle in this city, and
came 10 the conclusion that il was a disease of
The lungs. caused in a measure by the severity
