THE DISEASE ELSEWHERE.
Secretary Boutwell, Prohibits the IntrO~
ductiOn of Canadian Horses.

WASHINGTON ID. c., Oct. %, 1872
Numerous letters have been received at the
Treasury Department on the subject OF the horse
disease, one OF which, dated Buffalo, says 1t is SO
widespread that the writer is safe in placing nne
tenths Of the horses In that city and neghbOrhoOd
as affected by the disease, and he adds, while 1t ia
regarded dangerous 1t yields readily to treatment
If applied in season. The general impression Ia
that 1t is not contagious, but Is epidemic. The
Secretary OF the Treasury has issued the following
instructions to the collectors at Rochester, Bur-
lington, Cape Vincent and Port Huron-
"YOu are directed, SO long as the existing horse
disease prevails In Canada to allow no horses TO be-
brought into your port or district from that counI
try, unless you are perfectly satisfied that they are
free from contagious diseases"

have in this stable about three hundred and fifty
horses, OF which, yesterday, 100 were sick and
twenty in the painting stage. No anticipation
of the epidemic was formed, the odd,
short cough heard in the stables not receiv
ing more than a passing notice. The stable
now is all an hospital, with an increasing number
OF patients hourly. The superintendent of the line
believes in giving the horses rest as soon as the
disease first appears and for this he says he has

Horses Dying in Syracuse.

SYRACUSE N. Y, Oct. %, 1872.
The horse epidemic has broken out in this city
and Is spreading rapidly. Fully four hundred
horses are affected, including the horses Of tha
Fire Department and street railways, and owing to-
the sickness OF the latter the running time OF tho
cars has been changed. 1t is feared that the cars
win be stopped altogether shortly. the horses Of
the MIX Company affected; also 100 privat0
horses, and number have already died.

The HERALD Horse Plague Commissioner having

on the Second avenue road there has not been
comparatively very great suffering. On this line
there are about one thousand horses. and OF these
about seventy-fve have the disease in its incpient
state. Strangely, too IL did not appear until
yesterday morning, but early in the day 1t was
fonnd necessary to put ten OF the horses In the
hospital as UNFIT for work. Unlike the
treatment used in most OF the other
stables the iced OF the horses was not
changed, corn and oats, with cut hay. being
given No horse was considered In the worst stage.
The medicine given was mixture OF acontte and
belladonna, with light costic injection. The
superintendent OF the horses considers the dis
ease, so far as he has seen IL, to be similar to
diphtheria In the human system. An ordinary cold
would not affect horse In the same way as the
present disease does the difference being that
cold affects the animal over the entire body,
whereas the epidemic is confined to the
lungs. < "quInsy sore throat'' would cause
the horse to suffer more severely than
does the present disease. The same gentleman
stated that he believed 1t would be better to allow
the horses light exercise but that they should not be
actually worked into the worst state Of the disease:
He expects that though now so few Of the Second
avenue line horses are suffering badly, still not one
OF them viii escape. It was claimed BY the COM
pany that the cars ran all day as usual.

Since 'monday night the distemper has been at

worst signs appeared. There are about two
hundred and fifteen horses here. over one hundred
OF which have been diseased. The horses are dosed
with preparation OF Tar, which 1t is said aids in
relieving the soreness OF the throat. When the
lungs are diseased mustard is applied.
