THE HORSES IN NEWARK.

The disease is spreading rapidly, one veterinary
surgeon alone having now under treatment no less
than one hundred cases. But few deaths have,
however, taken place. and many OF the beasts are
rapidly convalescing Not only has the "epizootis"
spread its ravages among the stables OF the
brewers and manufacturers, but has even
entered private stables and placed on
their backs many fine carriage teams. circus
ports large number OF horses down, some sixty
IN all. Among those whose stables have been
visited by the disease are the brewers Schalk
Brothers. who were obliged to borrow horses yes

supply Of Sunday lager; Erb's livery stable, Moore
houses McClane Brothers. the New Jersey Express
Company, the Delaware, Lackawanna and western

fourteen horses) and many Others.
IN ORANGE
the distemper has made its appearance, but to no
serious extent At the stables of the Traders Ex-
press Company only six horses are fit for work. A
number OF horses belonging to private parties are
sick. The livery stables appear to have entirely
escaped The keepers have had their stables disin-
fected. and are giving the horses such remedies as
WIN sharpen their appetites. The disease IS hav-
ing disastrous effect upon business. The agent
OF the Delaware, Lackawana and Western
Express yesterday received orders to take no more
freight. as 1t could not be delivered. Some heavy
orders OF hats, ready for shipment, cannot be de-
ltvered on this account, while other parties cannot
get merchandise out from New York.
IN ELIZABETH
the epidemic has spread among the horses to such
an extent that all the express lines between there
and New York have been stopped. A large number
or cases were reported yesterday, among which
are eight belonging to Mr.. Benjamin. Several at
the R0pewalk are afflicted, and two very valuable
animals belonging to Mr.. Henry Miller have been
stricken down.

In many portions Of westchester county me
horse disease is spreading with startling rapidity.
The stables OF the Harlem Bridge, Morrisania and
Fordham Railway Company, which up to Friday
contained only few coughing horses, have now
more than twenty animals laid up and unflt for
work. 1t is estimated that In Morrisania alone
nearly eighty per cent of all the horses are aected
The cOntagOn has also reached as far north in the
county as Sing Sing, where 1t has appeared In an
aggravated form, some OF the horses having q dis
charge from the eyes and nOstrlls in addition to
the now well known cough.

THE DISEASE IN FLUSHING, l. l.

The business OF Flushing, L. l., has been mate
ally affected by the horse disease. The EXPIRE
and Ice companies have almost suspend
business, three-fourths OF their horses bel
sick. The farmers have suffered also, their horte.
and cattle both being affected. Messrs. Will y
Sanger, Frederick NJ Lawrence and Benjan

lost several cows eacn by the same malady as y
which has affected the horses.

The animals owned by the various express CON-
panies seem to be improving slightIy-or at least
those whose necessities have not been so great
that they were obliged to work their stock con-
tinually.
The Merchants Union Express were 50 taxed for
motive power that on Friday they turned out many
OF their equine force, and those who were on long
routes came In SUFFERING from relapse, and some
eight yesterday were in very bad condition. The
others will recover, 1t is believed. The company
have been unable to keep up their delivery for
three days. They expect to work their entire force
on Monday, with the exception OF these eight ami
mails above named.
The United states Express Company are stili
resting their animals and transporting their goods
upon drays, at great expense. Their animals are,
however, improving, and on Monday they antict-
pate that all will again be In harness.
All the horses Of the American European Ex-
press Company remain in quarantine, with o
prospect Of early c0nvaescence. The company
prefer rather to let their business go by default than
sacrifice their property. Ali their animals yester-
day showed gratifying signs OF Improvement.
The Adams Express Company have kept up their
business as usual by employing those least affected
Three OF the horses employed on Friday suffered q
relapse, but yesterday they had OF their 200 ami
mails only fifteen In hospital In the condition of
the stock OF the other companies no changes have

BusHEI OF MEDALS TO pE1LwARn rcuIrI

A BusHEL OF MEDALS TO DELAWARE POULTRY
MAN.
The Annual Exhibition Of the Pennsylvania
Poultry Society was held in Philadelphia, In De-
cember last, to which raisers Of poultry were In
vited to exhibit from other States. At that ex-
hibition little Delaware was represented, and, OF
course, did not fail TO carry on some OF the best
prizes. Mr.. Richard NJ. Griffith was on hand
from Wilmington, with his splendid array OF
chickens, ducks, pigeons. etc, which fairly won
the admiration Of our sister city, besides a yari-
city OF medals from the Society. Mr. Griffith now
has no less than fourteen beautifully designed
medals, received al premiums on that OCCASION
which will be shown in the window OF liba FER
ris, Jr's. jewelry store at Fourth and Market
streets, in few days. One OF them 10 silver,
and has inscribed ON its face the Following /
Awarded to II. NJ. Griffith for the best practical
exhibition coops, December 1872" The other
medals are Of bronze for each premium taken as
follows; Blue Antwerps, best pair almond tumb-
lers. best pair yellow OWL, best pair white carrier
pigeons, best pair silver spangled Polands, best
pair red priest, best pair black swallows, best
pair Isabella Pointers, best pair blue bearded
tumbers best pair black bald tumblers, best
pair black barbs, best pair ash pointers. 49,,
Mr.. Griffith finds great pleasure and no little
profit in raising fancy poultry. and we are not
saving too much when we add that there are
few gentlemen in the country who prosecute the
business more successfully than he.

izing the cleaning out OF the upper room Of the

Mr.. Pickles called up Oh its third reading his
pay roll ordinance.
Mr. Finegan objected to the ordinance because
it did not provide for receipt book and thought
the present system more secure than that pro-
posed.
Mr.. Pickles said that under the present system
the amount Of each pay roll was drawn upon the
certificate of the heads Of the departments. and
if they were 80 disposed an inviting field for
fraud lay before them He declared that just
such a system prevailed in New York, aud that
it was under that system that the Tammany
stealings were accomplished
MIR, Finegan replied that although the money
was drawn upon the certificates of the heads Of
| departments, they did not pay dollar of it
| away, but the amounts to each individual were
| paid only upon an order drawn in favor Of that
| particular individual and signed by the President
| and Clerk of Council and afterwards counter
signed by the Treasurer.
Mr.. Febiger was in favor Of a pay roll book
| and had suggested such a safeguard to Council
previously, but it was objected to on the ground
| that it cast an imputation upon the new officers
The ordinance was amended so as to require
the keeping of receipt book, and then passed
