The HORSE DISEASE. Reports are constant
ly being received of the spread of the horse cpl
demic, but it is hoped that it will not become
prevalent in this city. A report was circulated
upon the streets yesterday that it had broken
out in one of the stables near Main street, but
an investigation proved that it was false, as the
horse said to be affected was found to be suffer
ing from horse distemper, The cause of the dis
ease is said, by DR.. Gridwood of Montreal, TO be
the unusual amount Of rain that has fallen late
ly, saturatiug the soil. The continued damp
ness in the air has caused an unusually large de
veopment of fungoid growth, everything being
mildewed that can be. He thinks the mildew at
mosphere of stables is the cause of the cold
affecting the horses, and says he would treat the
horses the same as he would himself, if SINH
larly placed, by keeping the stables in as dry a
condition as possible and using every possible
means to purify the air to prevent the develop
ment and growth of mdew. Those who have
the care of horses win do well to bear the above
facts in mind and see that their stables are prop
erly cared for, and if possible prevent an out
break of the disease in this locality.

Country Printers.

We have heard some complaint of
late, coming mostly from young printers.
who have returned to the interior. that
their brethren in Chicago had urged
them to come there on account of the
high rates of wages to be earned. The
amounts were placed all the way from
thirty to forty five, and, in some cases,
fifty dollars per week. We do not know
to what extent these misstatements NAV
have been cause of trouble, but it will
do no harm to give the real facts in the
case. Wages for good book and Job
compositors are twenty-one dollars per
week. The extra amounts sometimes
made, carrying the sum to thirty, thirty
five, or forty dollars, are from doing
extra work to that amount; in reality
1t IS doing two days work in one, by
working large pars of the night. For
instance, a man works in job office
from a. m. to 6 o'clock p. NJ, and then
goes on morning paper from s p. m.
to 2 o'clock a. n. 1t will readily be
seen that not only are few men capable
of doing this, or would wish to do it,
but that such chances are not easily
and if they were, that no
man would be able to bear the strain
but very short time, and even then
only at severe drain upon his health.
1t amounts then to but a very small
thing in its ultimate results. We trust,
therefore, that our country compositors
will think twice before leaving good,
healthy country town, and an Office
where they are comfortable, and in
which they are making their way, to
run after SO fallacious a temptation as
we have indicated. A printer will be
able, in fact, to live better, have better
habits, and be altogether better off in
the country on fifteen dollars per week
I IAN IN Chicago on twenty-one dollars.
J. -,penses there are very high, and
emptations very strong, to say nothing
Of the fact that an intelligent, sober and
saving printer has thousand times the
chances of eventually possessing bust
ness of his own in the country than in
the city, where ten times the capital is
