for three year olds in the second race was won
By an imported COLI, Buckden, entered by NJ.

The horse disease is rapidly spreading
throughout New York State. In Rochester
and Buffalo trade is almost at standStlll,
Syracuse suffers scarcely less, and in New ! rk
city the street railroads have the epzootlc IN
their stables. The Secretary OF the Treasury
has issued instructions to the Collectors OF
Customs at most the Lake ports bordering on
the State of New York, to prohibit the impor-
tation of horses from Canada for the present
unless they are perfectly satisfied that the AMI
mails are tree from contagious diseases. NJ
merous letters have been received |; the Treas
ury Department at Washington, on the subject
of the epidemic. one of which says that 1t is SC
widespread that the writer is safe in placing
nine teuths of the horses in the city of Buffalo
and ueighborhood, as an instance, as affected
by the disease; but he adds, that while it /:
regarded as dangerous, it yields to proper
treatment when applied in season. The gen
eral impression is that it is not contagious, bu
is epidemic

last it is supposed that Jewell made an attempt
to escape frou the Jail here by unlocking the
two lower locks on the grating Of his cell. How
he succeeded SO far in the attempt the jaiior is
unable to learn 1t appears that one of the
guards who have been on duty during the i'm
priSonment Of Jewell, went up to the cell in
which be was confined to see that all was right.
when he discovered the locks uudone. Jewell
asserted that he did not do it, but at the same
time told the jailor that the locks were worth
less aud that he could get out at any momeot
if he so desired.

FALL WEATHER AND WARM BLOOD. We
should never allow ourselves to forget that ma
ture intended us for warm bloodcd ANIMALS. -
la this climate of surprising changes, We are
very apt to forget it, especially 10 the tall and
spring At such seasons, when we freeze and
simmer on alternate days, there Is cugendered
in US certain recklessneSS which takes no
heed of cold or heat, dampness or dryness,
and receives all temperatures with the same
front, generally defenseless one. 1t Is GER
tainly very troublesome to change front as
often as the weather, and there is prejudice
in American minds against such change, which
has great deal to do with the rapidly lncreas-
ing population of our gravcyards. People like
to have some stability OF purpose, and If they
can have it in nothing else they will try to have
it in their dress. They will not make change
until they make a permanent one tor the
season. No matter how hot Ii is 10 the spring,
they will wear spring clothes until summer,
and no matter how cool it may be IN August,
summer clothes must be worn until fall shall
actually set in. Thus otttimes suddenly and
with sad results We find ourselves approaching
the condition of the fishes and lizards,-for the
chill, that alert torerunner OF disease, Is ever
ready, in our climate, TO take advantage OF cir
cumStanceS.
We suppose that there are no people in the
world SO Indifferent to the demands of the
enthusiastically cool weaher-as Amerl-
cans. and one reason of this is that very many
of us are ashamed to keep warm. To wrap up
and button up, aud to put down windows
whenever there is chilling change in the air,
argues, to most minds, a namby- pamby eager
ness to be we'll that is repuguant to the hardy
American soul So, rather than be laughed
at, we SILVER We prefer tragedy to comedy,
the grave to the ridiculous. Home and Socl
eta, liz IScrtJner for November.
WINTER CLOTHING his experiments to
determine the heat conductlng power OF linen,
cotton wool and silk, Sir Humphrey Davy
found not only that these materials conducted
heat 10 the order given above, linen being the
best, but also that the tightness or loosenesS OF
weaving possessed an important Influence, 1t
ls therefore evident that in the selection OF
winter clothing, and especially of that to be worn
next the skin, the materials of least conducting
power, as wool and silk, should be chosen, aud
the fabrics should be loosely woven.
AS regards the external garments the same
rules apply with equal force, but IN this case care
should be taken to remove overcoats and shaWls
when 10 warm room: especially should this
precaution be observed in the instance of the
furs worn by ladies' The habit of wearing these
articles for hours in succession while shopping
and visiting, often SO weakeus the powers OF
resistance in the wearers that they become the
ready victims of infammations of the throat
and lungs. To such an extent does this occur
in New York that many Of the most skillful
physicians advise their patients TO discontinue
the use of furs, aud the advice is often followed
with the most satisfactory results. -.ScriJncr' $
