HORSE DIsTEMrER. In this city mos,
OF the horses are more or less affected
with the prevailing disease. Il would be
safe 10 say that at least two hundred are
Withdrawn from work by their owmer>.-
All the Livery Stable horse. are unfit for
work. and the stage teams can hardly get
from one relay 70 another. The Western
mail was last night hours on the road be-
tween here aud Bangor, distance OF ~
miles. The shore Line OF stages TO Cher
ryiield have not horse they can use, and
although they started Tuesday morning
their horses gave out after going dis
lance OF two miles, and could be got back
only with great difficulty. Should there
not be great and immediate improvement,
stage proprictors will refuse to carry any
and all passe ayers, aud think themselves
fortunate II they can get through the
mails. IL Is feared that the lumber teams
will give out, and thus necessilate the
stopping OF the mills and the shipment of
lumber. The treatment employed by our
most intelligent horse-men Is a. follows =
Keep the horse ON a mcagre allowance oil
food. and that OF the lightest and most
easily dlgested kind, such a. potatoes, car
rots, and inashes OF bran or shorts. Feed
the latter, warm il possible, and in very
small quantities. Give little or no hay
Above all, keep the horse warm by blan-
keting-gye him a plenty Of pure air. aud
cessation from work. No fatal cases
have a. yet occurred. and II the present
| favorable weather continues. the disease
will PROBABLY abate.
