There was more alarm manifested in this
city on Saturday afternoon at the spread of
the horse epidemic, than at any previous
time. On Saturday, Water street is generally
crowded with teams from the country, but
last Saturday less number put in an
an appearance than on ordinary days. Most
of the teams of the local draymen were
housed and coughing, and the news OF the
disease having spread into the country, the
farmers and others were afraid to come in.
And so trade was duller than usual on the
day which is commonly the harvest time of
the week. 1t is impossible to give an accurate
and complete list Of the persons who have
horses afflicted Some are very closed,

invaded their precincts. To sum the matter

in town are in some degree affected by the

The horses at the stables of the Mansion

truck horses have given out, and he says that
he will be compelled to purchase ayoke of

Mr.. j. NJ. Sanborn, who has horse atflct-
ed. gives the following recipe for treatment ;
Take dish of tar into which put live Goals,
so that the tar may be burned, making flame.
| Place the dish so as to allow the fumes to
arise and be inhaled by the horse, which has
the effect to relieve the horses head of the

The Recent Railroad Accident,

Mr.. EDITOR notice an extract in your
paper copied from an editorial of the Boston
Advertiser, in relation to the recent accident
at Seabrook, in which an attempt is made to
cast censure upon the Maine Central rail
road because it was their cars which were
smashed in that great calamity Now have
no connection with the management Of any
road, nor have l any special interest in de-
Tending any road from censure that is 3nstly
deserved nor should blame be attached to
parties who are blameless in the matter.
The statement of the Advertiser is that all
the cars in the train that had the Miller plat
form and air brake were not injured, while
those without these improvements were tele-
scoped and destroyed
l have no disposition to detract from,
or in any way lessen the value Of these i'm
provements, or any other discovery which
shall tend to save life or prevent accident,
but would insist that they should be adopted
as fast and as far as they prove useful in this
direction; but the attempt 70 throw blame
upon the cars of another road, for an acei-
dent occasioned by a misplaced switch is, to
say the least, poor way TO prevent such ae-
eidents in the future.
ANY person who has been on train when
a collision occurred, knows very well that

Now in relation to this affair at Seabrook,
TIE testimony of the engineer of the Pullman
train is that he noticed the misplaced switch.
sounded down brakes and jumped from
the train, calling upon the fireman to do
the same. In this case it is evident that
if all the cars had been of sufficient strength
to withstand the shock, there would not have

On the part of the Maine Central railroad
managers to adopt any and all improvements
tending to lessen risk of accidents, that has
led me to write this article, and also to say
that after railroad managers generally have
done all in their power in this direction, care
less or unfaithful operatives will render it OF
no avail Therefore let it be impressed upon
the minds of all managers Of railroads and all
other public conveyances, to have none in
their employ, if possible, who are not entirely
faithful. 1t may be question with the man
ayers of all our railroads, whether sufficient
importance is attached to the position of
switchman, so that the pay in such cases will
of itself command the services of the hest Of
men.
