from the Hipp0rhinorrhea.
The dropsy appears to be still prevalent among
the horses and fresh cases are reported every day.
AS general rule this branch OF the epizooty ap-
pears to be the result OF extra and inudic0us work.
Some thirty more bodies were taken to the Render
ing Company, over nifty per cent OF which died
from dropsy. 1t is nearly impossible to give any
regular cure for this disease as il varies in the
symptoms and consequently requires different
treatment. DR.. Cattenach has some fifty horses In
private stables, all suffering from dropsy in q more
or less aggravated form. AS rule he gives iron
from half drachm to forty grains to the dose-and
in some very severe cases he administers copper.
On Monday night he was called in TO see horse OF

accompanied by q violent discharge OF blood nom

the horse was considerably better yesterday morn

riage horse the property OF MI II. Lord, OF Seven
teenth street. died of dropsy after three hours i'll
ness. There are some cases OF such an aggravated
nature as TO prove fatal unless taken proper care
OF Immediately after the appearance OF the hrst
symptoms.
The late Colonel Fisk's magnificent black charger,
now the property of Mr.. B. Blanchard, has had an
attack ofdr0psy, but Is now nearly recovered. An
other bay horse I'm the same stable has also been
badly affected, and Is improving rapidly. brown
horse, the property OF Mr.. lie Roy, mas very bad
attack OF dropsy and is in prccarous condition.
There are some seventy or eighty other valuable
horses in private stables laid up with the disease.
THE CAR AND STAGE STABLES
appear TO be in about the same state as they were
yesterday. The Third avenue line think they have
stopped the dropsy in their sick battalion and do
not anticipate any more deaths The Fourth,
sixth, Broadway and Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth avenue stables all doing pretty well and
DO not expect many more deaths The stage
stables are also running all their stages and intend
to keep them on. In the cases where the horses
VIII not eat, they are generally given some vege-
table compound food in their water, which acts
upon them like tonic and gives them an appetite
for a nice warm mash.
At rough estimate there must be 500 horses
sick to-day with the dropsy.

THE GALES IN NORTHERN EUROPE.
An Appeal from the Consul OF Denmark
mt This Port for the Sufferers by the
Recent Destructive Storms.


The following communication is an appeal frsm
the Danish Consul in this city, Mr. c. I. Chrsten-
sen on behalf OF his countrymen who have lost
their property through the ravages of the late
seriously destructive storms that have visited the
north OF Europe. II asks for help from citizens
and residents Of New York. which, If received, will
be gratefully acknowledged:
The heartrendlng accounts which have reached
by cable OF the loss OF life and great destruction
OF property on sea and land IN the countries bor-
derlng on the Baltic during the recent terrible
gales justify me in making On earnest appeal to
the benevolently inclined, whether native or
foreign born, for contributions towards relieving
the immediate necessities OF those who arc tile
greatest sufferers by this calamity. IL appears
that large number OF vessels have been wrecked
island has been submerged and all the inhabitants
drowned), sea towns have been DESTROYED and n
great number OF lives lost. The Danes are an i'm.
dustrious and frugal people; but, on the
from lack Of the necessary qualifications / can
not say-only able under ordinary circum-
stances to make fair living A state OF suffering
like the present one cannot, therefore, be entirely
alleviated by the resources OF the country ITSELF
and the anxious fears OF the homeless and the
destitute, and especially OF those who have lost
their protectors and PROVIDERS on the verge OF the
long and severe northern Winter, must be terrible
beyond expression and cannot fall to touch deeply
every humane heart
Whatever help is rendered should be rendered
Immediately Contributions win be received at
the Danish Consulate, 80 Broadway, between the
hours OF nine and FIVE. They win be publicly
acknowledged, remitted by cable and judlci0usly
government, among the most needy Of the SUI.

shown by the HERALD that In this way the citizens
had been robbed out OF thousands and thousands
OF dollars by the contractors-not one or two, buc
numbers OF them. Last summer the matter was
brought TO the attention OF the Grand Jury Just as

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR ORANGE, N. J.

Some time ago. at fire in Orange, N. j.,
a number OF the 1remen behaved In
scandalous manner and refused to obey their
superior officer in the midst OF the fire.
AS q consequence the insubordnates were
suspended and proposition was before the
Common Council to discharge them dshonorably
This would have been very just but unpleasant
duty, and the Council on Monday night managed to
steer clear OF the snag altogether by adopting
TO issue bonds Tor $4,000, with which to establish
and maintain paid Fire Department instead OF
the present unsatisfactory volunteer system. The
matter appears to give entire public satisfaction.

continue TO haunt the rooms, overlooking little
OF everything, and assuring themselves that the
