HORSE NOTES.

From an English work, by Fleming, we learn that
disease Identical in symptoms and character to
the present scourge visited England and
ireland in 1850, and attacked almost all
the horses in those countries simultane-
ously. The epidemic lasted about six
weeks, and, although not particularly fatal still 1t
carried of . great many animals. The opinion
among those well informed on horse matters is
that horses VIII be apt to be tender the coming
Winter and more apt to take cold than before the
epidemic and it will be well for all who have valua-
bile animals TO take extra care Of them and not
imprudently expose them.
