from Bclleville, Illinois,:

eases against james Ford, Sen, and
Thos. b. Gregory, commenced un'
der the Texas cattle law of 1867,
we're tried in the st. Clair County
GlIinois) Circuit Court, to recover
damages for the loss of cattle from
tho Texas cattle disease. The de-
fendant's counsel, William G1 kaso,
ESQ. dcmurred to plaintiffs docla-
ton, upon the ground thatthe state
ment under which the declaration
was framed was unconstitutional; ;
that the declaration did not aliege
that the cattle were diseased when
brought into the State. His honor

murer, and put the parties npon p

gethcr, without assigning any roa-
son for it: the latter only during
ccrtai months, and for the reason
that this breed Of cattle is thought
to communicate disease to the ma
tive cattle. The reasons for quasll-
ing the indictments under the law
of 1867 do1not apply TO the law OF
1862. We understand, also, that
the states attorney will probably
take up one of tho cases on a writ
of error, and have the power ofthe
Legislature to enact the law passed
upon by,the Supreme Court. We
hope, he. win do SO, as this lsa ques'

If the Illinois State Legislature
wish to do wise thing, instead o

will abolish it altogether. The luoi

WHY DO ANIMALS NEED SALr.-Prof.
James E. Johnston, of Scotland says: Up
ward of half the saline mattor Of blood
(57 per cent) consists of common salt,
and this is partly discharged every day
through the skin and kidneys, and neces-
sity Of continued supplies of it to the
healthy body becomes sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Gone of the in
gradients Of salt) as special and indis-
pensible constituent, and SO do all the
cartilages of the body. Stint the supply
Of SALT thereafter, and neither will the
bile be able properly to assist digestion
nor the eartiIages to be built up again as
fast as they naturally waste. 1t is better
to place salt where stock can have free
access to it than to give it occasionally in
large quantities. They will help them
selves to what they need if allowed to do
SO at pleasure; otherwise, when they be-
come "salt hungry" they may take more
than is wholesome.
