The disease which has prevailed of late
among horses in New York seems to have as
sumed more serious phase within the past
few days. The railroad lines are the princl-
pal sufferers, though cases are becoming fre-
quent among private stables, both within and
without the city, and among stock the least
careful groomed. No less that sixty or seven
ty cases were reported on Monday among the
horses Of one street line, quite a number of
them proving fatal Veterinary surgeons do
not all profess to understand exactly the ma
ture of the complaint, although contagious
and not necessarily fatal. By some its origin
is attributed to overdriving, but this explana-
ton would not apply to all. In general char

nurely inventions; that he had never beer
better han he has been in the last five years
and tha all accounts to the contrary are pur'
inventions.
brigham Young is devout believer IN tn
maxim that it is always advisable to hav
something to fall back upon His something
is the Sandwich Islands. There can be N
question that he, being the prudent man tha
he is, has contemplated the possibility OF sue
an irruption of Gentiles into Utah as wi

if not absolutely necessary. In casting abou
for means to provide against this emergency
his eyes would naturally rest upon the grou
in question. A more eligible "Zion" could nc
be found in the two hemispheres, and ther
can be no question that the prophet Presiden

possibilities of the future. 1t is not difficult
therefore, to understand the interest taken b
him and his confidential counselors in the MOI
