Inander of O'Neilfs volunteer regiment,
and son of prominent citizen, attempted
to commit suicide yesterday by swallow
ing laudanum,, in the saloon of the St.

The Cattle Plague
Continues to the sensations. Professor
Gamjee has been examining into the dis
ton that the disease is simply fever, with
no signs of animal poison. He says: 'sThe
farmers of our country (England) would
call this disease black water. 1t is very
similar to the disease of Aberdenshire, and
it has been described as occurring in var.
ious parts of Europe." He does not con-
slider that the fever renders the milk or
flesh of the animal ounwholesome. ga
