The Horses Of Tennessee Attacked With
New Disease.

The Knoxville, Tenn, Press of the
Sth inst, says: '"The owners of horses
In Knoxville are excited over the ap.
pearance of new and strange disease
among the equines, the first case OF
which terminated fatally on Saturday
last. The disease appears to be con
tagious, and singularly swift in its fatal
work. Gen. JOS. A. Mabry has lost
three valuable animals since Saturday,
the last one dying on Tuesday night.
Col. r. Fl. Armstrong lost two of his
horses, one on Sunday and the other on
Monday last.
When the horses were first noticed as
being sick they were nearly blind; the
eyes badly swollen, and the animals
unable to move. Every remedy was
applied that the most experienced in
diseases of the horse could suggest,
but all failed to check the progress of
the disease. The heads Of the animals
only, seemed to be affected, though the
horses were so weak as to be unable to
move. Twenty-four hours after being
attacked the horses died"

MONTANA INDIANS. -Commission
Parker has received a letter from J. A.
Vail, Superintendent of the Indians in
Montana, in which he says a great many
want to work on their places the gold

kept away from them. They also ask
the great father to send them some one
who knows how to wash out the gold.
In compliance with their wishes, a
school has been established there which,
within the next six months will be at

Yankee Pluck.

ALI the Western countrymen of "Our
Fritz do not attain the valorous fame
of that chieftain. California is still
traversed in the widest parts by that
primitive locomotive the stage, and
journeying thereon is attended with
quite as much danger as discomfort.
Recently as the Marysville coach was
pursuing its accustomed way, burdened
with three inmates, Yankee and two
Germans, cloud of "Road Agents ~
dawned on its peaceful horizon, and
called at once for the spoils
of war. The trembling Teutons
awoke to the situation, and SUI
pernaturally keen in caring for the
treasures, threw the results of their
years mining operations in the bushes
and tumbled out, abjectly begging for
life at the point of the robbers pistols.
The third passenger in the coach seems
to have slept through this preliminary
scene, for he suddenly leaped from his
seat with picturesque forms Of speech,
and charging at once upon the unsus-
pecting bandits, by we'll directed fire
and shrewd stimulation of heavy
force to aid, put them to flight, while
the good Teutons yet did imploring
penitence on the cold ground. The
stage escaped further molestation, and
large amount of treasure belonging to
Wells, Fargo & Co., was thus saved by the
emphatic courage Of an indomitable
Yankee. The Germans waited until
daylight and found their scattered gold.

AN important line of railway has
been opened in Russia. The line is
from st. Petersburg to Revel, Baltic
port. 1t is $50 miles long, cuts the War
saw Railway at CATCHING, and the Mos
COW road at Tosna, SO that freight can
be carried to the interior without COM
ing through st. Petersburg, thus saw
ing 80 miles. The merchants of Revel
expect this road to give them great ad-
vantages for the English trade, as their
ports are open nearly the whole winter,
and they are thus brought $50 miles
nearer to Moscow than theport OF Riga.
The Paris Reveille has long descrip-
ton of a terrible engine of destruction,
which, it says, is of the power of fifty
mltrallleuses. It states that it pours
out continual stream of bullets to the
distance of about 500 yards, without
noise, fire, or smoke, and can be haul
ed about as easily as an ordinary staam
fire engine. At the same time, it Is in
comparably cheaper than engines sing
powder, for, while it can shoot OF 3OO,-
900 bullets for IS francs, the same num-
Der shot off with powder would cost
6, 600 francs. The propelling power is
created by generation of gases. It is
claimed that with such a machine three
men can destroy an entire regiment in
a few minutes.

DISPATCHES from North Platte, Ne
