SYMPTOM was about the mouth, from with

blisters. resembling those in cases of the
chicken puX or small pox. Thirteen yoke
of cattle which had beeu employed at the
Chestnut Hill Reservoir were in the yards
at the time. and twelve yoke OF these were
put at work on the highway. and some of
these were attacked, bat lightly. These
have all been sold. and some of the cattle
were slaughtered elsewhere and the bee
sold in Boston, but no seriosis results are
reported.
VERMONT CATTLE DISEASED.
A few years since a lot OF steers was
sent to the yard from Wiliiston, VT, and
afterwards sold to a man in Rhode Island.
While at Brighton, and when they went
away, they were apparently in perfect
health. In a few days, however, the pur-
chaser came back aud asked if anything
was the matter with the animals. They
had all begun to be lame, and the authori-
ties were threatening To make trouble in
the matter. Subsequently other cattle in
the vicinity were similarly attacked. The
Vermont shipper, however, claims that
nothing was the matter with them when he
sent them.
Mr. Craig mentions, as an illustration Of
the lack of contagion at the yard that ofth

first case was seen. not more than dozen

Illinois, has been at the yards five weeks
and has been on exhibition at this place
and at Cambridge. No especial care has
been taken of him; he has walked over the
same ground. drank from the same troughs
and eaten with the others, and all his in
dications are Of perfect health. Other cat
tie are there, which have been in the
yards for weeks, and they too, are in per-
feet health. Two cows, owned by Mr..
Kicker. have been kept on the premises for

they do not As a general thing feel any

any means become SO yet. While a good

and not to disprove the contagious nature
of the disease, for its alarming spread un-
der circumstances which yield no other
theory, stamps the affection As infectious
singular case, showing that the dis
ease existed in the vicinity before its dis
covery, or else the peculiar fact that the
disease may be carried at a distance
through the air, comes to light in private
stable. Mr.. Clarke Smith. produce
farmer, whose residence is about half a
mile from the cattle market, has the worst
case IN his stable that has come to our
knowledge. The COW, which Is the sub
lect, Is greatly cmacisted, one OF her feet
IN so bad condition that she raises IL
from the ground when standing, which she
does very little. while from her mouth
runs thick slime of dark creamy color
The animal Is much improved from her
| condition week ago. The remedy used
is chloride OF zinc on the feet, with no
wash TO the mouth, AID no internal medi-
cine. The COW began TO limp some time
before taken from the pasture, aud un, il
the matter was agitsted in other quarters
no notice was taken of 1t, the milk bein .
| freely used on the table. Since the dis
covery of the disease the milk had been
fed to a couple of spring shoats. as an ex-
pertinent, and seldom are more lively and
healthy looking swine seen than these are
now. Nevertheless, case is reported
elsewhere, where milk of a diseased COW
was given TO dog with almost immediate
fatal result
Mr.. Horace W. Baxter, one OF the Select
men of Brighton. residing mile from the
yards, had several cattle taken about the
same time OF those OF Mr.. Craig. La these
