Prairie Fires in Nebraska.

OMAHA, Oct. 2l.-The weather has
been extremely dry in this vicinity of late
and prairie fires have been unusually
frequent and destructive. The country
within an area of 30 miles from this city
has been mostly burned over, and enor
nous quantities of hay and grain destroy
ed, beside many houses, barns and fences
Yesterday prairie fire started about two
miles north of the city, destroying most
of the fences, sheds and buildings at the
race track and fair grounds. The sol
diers at the barracks were out all last
night and to day fighting the flames tc
prevent the destruction of the barracks
and have succeeded in checking the fires
in that quarer.

The Horse Disease.

Last week the telegraph made refer.
ence to the general prevalence Of the
horse disease in Toronto, the matter be
coming so serious as to impede travel and
transportation, and involve considerable
loss. 1t appears that the same epidemic
prevails in Montreal and its vicinity, and
is rapidly on the increase, having, accord
ing to later dispatches, attacked horses in
Buffalo and Rochester, n. Y A Toronto
paper gives some of the symptoms of the
disease and the proper mode of treat
ment, which, in view OF its possible spread
may be useful:
The disease appears to be catarrhal
fever of an epizootic nature, the result oi
some atmospheric influence, as is shown
by its sudden appearance over a large ex
tent of country, attacking all kinds o.
horses, old and young, in good condition
or poor. The premonitory symptoms art
dulness, a staring coat, a watery discharge
from the nose, speedily followed by /;
severe hacking cough the pulse is quick
ened and the mouth hot, the nasal mem
branes are injected, and the ears anc
lungs are unnaturally cold the discharge
from the nose increases and becomes of a
greenish yellow color, the breathing j:
increased, aud in some cases labored Sc
we're. Although this disease must ne
cessarily prove great loss and annoyance
to the community generally, We do no.
think it is likely to he of fatal charac
ter where ordinary care and rational treat
ment arc adopted. 10 several instances
the attack has beeu severe, but generally
increased by overwork or some other de
bilitating influence.
As the disease will run certain course
affected animals should be carefully used
and allowed plenty of air, with liberal
diet of nourishing and easily digestec
food The stable should be well airec
and thoroughly ventilated. and it is alsc
advisable to use disinfectants, as the
chlorid of lime or carbolic acid Whet
the throat is very sore, causing difcul
ty in swallowing, a mild embrocatior
should be applied, and the fever alIayec
by mild febrifuge medicine.

1t has lately been contended, with
rather more warmth than discretion, that
hydrophobia is disease which either has
no existence at all, or purely fictitious
one in the minds of highly timorous and
imaginative people. Where the doctors
disagree we do not pretend to decide, but
it has unfortunately happened, within
the last half year, to scores of persons
possessing the average fondness for living,
to he afflicted with horrible disease call
ed hydrophobia, and, as if in contempt Of
all theories against its existence, have
died in pain and agony such as no other
torture could induce. There may be no
such disease as hydrophobia after all ; but,
whether there is or not, while people die
because they think they have it, we are
gratified to find that for it there is re
medy the efficacy of which has been
proved by trial The French papers give
the following details 1.-The patient was
"subj bjected to hot vapor baths on the recur
"rence of the first symptoms of every
"paroxysm, and during its continuance,
(which treatment, naturally producing
''copious perspiration, resulted in the
"paroxyims becoming less and less severe,
until finally they disappeared, and a
complete cure of this most dreadful and
painful of all maladies was established
perhaps the only cure of severe case

Be- The election law prescribes certain
forms to be observed in relation to the Pres-
dental election, which occurs on the 5th Of
November. Ten days before that date it is
the duty of the assessor to attend at the place
fixed by law for holding the election in each
election district, and then and there hear all
applications of persons whose names have
been omitted from the list of assessed
voters, and who claim the right to vote, or
whose rights have originated since the same
was made out, and shall add the names of
such persons thereto as shall show that they
are entitled to the right Of suffrage in such
district, on the personal application of the
claimant only, and forthwith assess them
with the proper tax. After completing the
list, copy thereof shall be placed on the
door or on the house where the election is to
lie held, at least eight days before, and at the
election the same course shall be pursued in
all respects as is required by this act and the
acts to which it is a supplement at the
general elections in October The assessor
shall also make the same returns to the
County Commissioners of all assessments
made by virtue Of this section; and the
County Commissioners shall furnish copies
thereof to the election officers in each district,
in ike manner in all respects as is required
at the general election in October.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
FRAUDS! FRAUDS
FRAUDS Z!

The Democracy, just now, are consohng
frauds, insinuating and boldly asserting that
the election of Hartranft and Allen was the
result of frauds perpetrated on the ballot
box by the Republicans The Monroe
Democracy had better sweep the dirt from
their own doors before they engage in the
c'y so Justify OF course we can form no idea
by how much colonizing, repeating, and bal
lot box stuffing they have managed to create
their heavy majorties in this county, hereto
fore, but this we do know that, this year, they
endeavored to swell the majority for Bucka
lew to 2lSI by bare faced indulgence in the
Addition, Division and Silence" dodge
Notwithstanding the error was pointed out
the Monroe Democrat has the republican
vote 65S, when it should be 75S, giving
Buckalew 20S1 majority only. If the votes
in the rest of the Democratic counties were
thoroughly canYaSSed we have no doubt that
Hartranft' official majority would be 0,000,
instead of 35, ,S37 as the figures giveit. The
fact is that the party ofcofee-p pot naturaliza-
ton papers, and which has always gained
power by fraud, is not the party to cry out
against its opponents, unless it be to thus
endeavor to cover up the dirty work which
comes so naturally to it.

The official count of the vote for Con
gressmen at large in this State is not yet
summed up, and no one can tell exactly
what the Republican majority will be for
those positions. 1t is safe to assume that
it will be same thousands more than the
majority for Governor. We should not
be surprised if it exceeds $4,000. And
this will be the true index of party
strength in Pennsylvania. The Republi.
cans and Democrats supported their re
spective nominations for Congressman at
large without question, each side voting
a straight ticket. The assumption that
the vote for them accurately represents
the numbers of the two parties is there
fore safe one. Just think of clear
Republican majority of $4,000 in Penn

The Premium, the first premium

The Premium, the first premium,
and the only premium given to sewing
machines at the Monroe County Fair, last
week, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Domestic, the A. B. Howe and the Grover
and Baker cornsheller, with operators and
got up work imported for the occasion were
in competition, was awarded to the Wheeler
and Wilson machine. The committee, COM
posed of practical mechanics and experts,
after giving each machine thorough ex-
animation, were constrained to say, that for
excellence of workmanship, and durability
the Wheeler and Wilson, was by far the
best. 1t was evident to all that some of the
agents had mistaken their proper location.
The things they exhibited there would have
had better place, decidedly, among the
agricultural implements.

Very few votes were cast against it in
