THE PUBLIC HEALTH.-Although as yet
there has been no manifestation OF the pres
ence of cholera anywhere in the country, it is
we'll that all necessary precautions should be
taken to guard against its coming through its
usual avenues Of approach to wit, inlmigra-
ton from abroad. These precautions, we are
glad to observe, have been taken by The health
officer of the port of New York. With the
same care shown in other ports where imml-
grants usually land, we may reasonably hope
to be spared visit from this scourge, the more
especially as our foreign news, up. to this time,
is silent upon its appearance this season any
where except in portion of Russia aud Prus-
STA. Even from Persia, its selected home, sore
afflicted as i, is by famine, the concomitaut Of
the plague have we so far heard nothing of
the ravaees OF the cholera. : Wash Patriot.

tive to the plan recently adopted by the con-
vention of producers to control the market for

through which the entire production is to be
bought and sold, with ample storage, restrain
ing the production when necessary. 1t is be-
leved that the price of oil can be maintained at
So per barrel. The bankers offer their support,
and express willingness to cooperate in the
scheme, and at their last meeting resolutions
were unanimously adopted expressing conf

The HORSE DIsEAsE.--There is very little
new to say about the prevailing horse disease,
except that it continues to spread The cases
are not as yet dangerous as a rule, but the cold,
raw rain of Thursday afternoon and evening
had the effect to increase not only the number
of cases but the severity of the symptoms. There
are but few horses as yet unaffected by the dis
ease, and these, together with animals suffering
under the milder forms of the malady, are seen
about the streets during the day, but in the eve
ming only few owners care to risk the lives of
their animals by exposure to the night air, and
the streets look gloomy and deserted enough.
The horse cars are still laid up, and will con-
tinue so for several days The horses belong
inc to the company are no worse, but are far
from being in condition to work, and Mr..
Searles the superintendent, announces his in
tention to keep his horses housed until the NAL.
adv has had its run. The express companies
and business firms using horses for the coec.
tion and delivery of goods are sadly nconven-
fenced, and in some instances have resortcd to
ludicrous makcshifts TO carry on their business.
Wagons drawn by lines of men were no uncom.
mon sight yesterday, though some of the most
oddly gotten up vehicles were undoubtedly dis.
played more for the purpose of advertising than
from necessity. The express companies trans
acted their delivery business in vehicles of as
sorted sizes, ranging from huge wagon drawn
nv two oxen to handcart of ancient appear
ance propelled by man power.
The stage lines leading from the city are
III temporariIy withdrawn, and the heavy ex.
press teams from the surrounding towns nc
longer run.
There is no immediate prospect of a diminu
ion in the number of cases. The disease will
have its run, and is not dangerous If properly
,eated. Horse owners, il they consider their
own interests will keep their horses warm and
ouet until their recovery, no matter now much
present Inconvenience may result from sucl
: course,
