Diseased cattle at Communipaw were killed
very rapidly this morning and placed in the
tanks, for rendering every facility was offered
for examining the living cattle and meat after
slaughtering. The latter was of bright.
yellow color, and easily to be distinguished
Il from healthy beef. SO bullocks had been
killed up to this morning, and fifty more, the
y remainder of the lot were to be slaughtered
to-day. 1t is reported that the cattle market
is seriously affected by the reports relative to
diseased meat and the price Of live stock has
considerably declined The demand for beef
in the restaurants has fallen off to-day and
: lamb and mutton have a decided preference
The disease appearing in the cattle at Com
munipaw is creating not little excitement IN
7 this city. The disease shows itself on the
= animal by restlessness and watery-looking
5 eyes, followed by lassitude. The animal walks
a with head bent forward, the spine extending
upwards, as if in great agony, and expires
within few hours after the first symptoms
g are noticed. There appear on the beasts a
number of parasites, which fasten themselves
: between the hind legs, and thence impregna-
ting the animals blood with the poisonous
virus. A reporter noticed about fifty of such
on one beef. The bug is of grey color, and
/ looks like the carapoto frequently found in
South America, but is far more dangerous
