CAUSE OF THE "BLACK DKATH"IN IRELAND
The cause OF the mysterious cases Of the .black
death" which occurred in ireland few weeks
ago is said to have been discovered. good
many cattle have been dying recently of a
form of bloed disease, known as carhuncular
fever; and IN two or three instances the flesh
OF these cattle has been eaten by other animals.
In one case dog Tapped some OF the blood OF
deceased bull. and, after suffering from q
black eruption, died in a few hours. La an.
other, pig which had eaten of deceased
cows offal died under similar circums tan ces
The eruptions and the symptoms are said to
have been precisely like those observable In
the human victim of ssblack death, +" and 1t is
therefore supposed that the latter disease may
have been fngfndered by the eating of meat
from animals in state Of carbuncular fever

The famous trotting horse Dexter arr we'd in
this CITY on Wednesday morning from Chicago
he was delivered TO Mr. Bonner on the after
noon OF that day, and yesterday Mr.. Bonner
drove him for the first time on Harle n Lane,
and also on the private rrotting park near Ma
combs Dam. One OF the directors OF tue park
relates that as soon as the horse made his ap-
pearance IN front OF the club house all the gem
tlemen present took off their hats. As there
has been considerable discussion con cerning
the price paid for the liking of the turf" we
have obtained for publication the folio wing re-
cetpt, which will settle the matter:
''Rsceived, New York. Sept Is. 1867, OF
Robert Bonner, Esq, thirty three thousand
dollars for the horse Dexter, sold by previous
agreement, and this day delivered by me to
him, and warranted sound.
-.. "a. F. FAwsgTr"
In order to form some idea of Dexter's su-
periority over all other trotting horses, it is
only necessary to state that during Flora Tenn
pies entire career on the turf she trotted only
four or five heats in lie, time than 922, while
Dexter hus trotted in less than two years twen-
ty-seyen heats in 2.22 or quicker. The horse
that has ranked rext 10 Dexter on the turf,
during the past two years, is Lady Thorn, and
she has never made even one heat in 2.22,
while Dexter has trotted. as horsemen say,
away down" in 2.l7k.-N. Y. Post. -
