authorities differ. Fever Of a not dangerous
character has been traced in England to the
use of milk from affected cows, and pigs and
other animals have been known to catch the
disease from drinking such milk. We observe
that the cattle commissioners of this State
take the same view ofthe poisonous character
Of the milk of diseased animals. On the other
hand, the milkmen in some parts of London
gave the milk to their own children, and mix
ed 1t with that served to their customers with
out any evil consequences following. 1t
seems to have been assumed in England that
the meat of animals slaughtered while affected
was injurious, but very few cases Of viola
ton of the law came to light, and we cannot
find that any experiments were made. As
the disease is not frequently fatal, there is no
necessity for slaughtering animals to save
their meat, even for those who would be in
clined to adopt such course. On the whole,
while the new disease is alarming in the ra-
pidity with which it spreads and the tempo
rary losses which it entails, there is nothing
in it which need cause panic. The farmers
can fight it singly, and perhaps itmay be
stamped out before it has become much more
prevalent than it is now,

THE NEW APP0RTIONuENT.

The substance of the report OF the Ju-
dietary Committee, upon the subject OF
the new Congressional apportionment and
the bill of the last session relating there
to, is as follows:
That inasmuch as said bill was acted upon
by each House of Congress prior to the TAX
ing of the ninth census, and with the object
of having Representatives elected under it in
the year 1870, many of its provisions have
become useless and impracticable, yet the
House of Representatives thereby indicated
275 Representatives, and the Senate 800 Rep
resentatives, as the number of which the
House should be composed. The committee
have given due consideration to the fact. Be-
lieying, however, that 800 Representatives,
to be increased by the admission Of new
States, is a greater number than public policy
now requires, it is concluded to report in IA
vor of 2S0 members, commencing with the
XLIIId Congress. This number is arrived
at by fixing upon 137,S00 persons as the
ratio, and also by giving an additional Repre-
sentative to each State that has fraction
greater than one moiety of the said ratio. Upon
this basis, the only States whose representa-
ton will be reduced will be New Hampshire
and Vermont, each of which will lose one
Representative. The States of Maine, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Delaware, louisiana,
Ohio, Florida, Oregon, West Virginia, Neva-
da and Nebraska will each retain their pres
ent representation. The States of Massa-
chusetts, New York, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, California and Minnesota will
each gain one over its present representation.
The States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
| Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin and Kansas will
each gain two. The States of Missouri,
Michigan and Iowa will each gain three, and
the State of Illinois will gain four
The bill proposes that from and after the
Sd day of March, 1873, the House of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed of 2S0 members,
to be apportioned among the several States in
accordance with the provisions Of this act as

In Connecticut politics are waking up.
1t is said that the democrats will nominate
MIR. English, and the republicans Gov
ernor Jewell again, for gubernatorial can
didates. Members of Congress are to be
chosen at this election also. 1t is thought
the republicans will renominate the pre-
sent members in the first and second dis
tricts, and probably make change IN the
third. The State is close but the republi-
cans are united and confident.

meeting of the New England commits
sioners of fisheries was held at Young's
Hotel on Tuesday evening, April 4th. All
the States except Rhode Island were repre-
sented. The special object of the meeting
was to discuss plan proposed by Mr.. Chas
Z. Atkins, of Maine, to procure salmon oya
during the coming season, by operations upon
the Penobscot river. The plan contemplates
the buying of a number of salmon, two or
three hundred-alive, as taken from the ponds
or weirs,-and keeping them in a suitable
place until the spawning season, when the
eggs will either be taken in the usual way,
or they will be allowed to deposit them in a
race prepared for this purpose. tt is sup
posed that the ova will thus be obtained at a
much less price than the Canadian govern
ment now demands. The project was cot-
sidered feasible, and the States Represented
will all be interested in its success. The
whole undertaking will be under the charge
Of Charles G. Atkins, Commissioner Of
