BOSTON, Nov. 7.-All the Metropolitan Com
pany's horse cars were withdrawn before noon
to-day, during the heavy rain, by dictation of
the agent of the Society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals. The President of the
Company publishes denial that the horses
were sick or suffering, and says: 1--WE venture
to say that more persons will become sick, and
perhaps die, from exposure in being compelled
to walk home, who came down in our cars this
morning, than there are horses that would have
been in any degree injured"

BOARD OF IRADE.-AJ The regular monthly
meeting of the managers of the Board of Trade
yestesterday afternoon, the following offered by
Mr.. Washburn was unanimously adopted, viz:
Whereas, The necessities of commerce require
that the work of improving the harbor of this
port should be continued as its increased and
increasing trade demand additional facilities
which can be obtained only through removal
OF distractions in some portions of the harbor;
therefore
RosolUed, That the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from this State are respectful
ly and earnestly requested to use their best eff
forts to procure an adequate appropriation for
this purpose at the next session.
RESOLVED, That copy of the foregoing pre-
amble and resolution be forwarded to each of
the members of Congress from this State.
Resolutions were also adopted instructng the
President of the Board to confer with the Har-
Dor Commissioners regarding proper protec
ton of the harbor in the filling-in of its shores
and flats in certain localities.
The subjects of manufacturing and the re-
ceiving of freight by the several railroad cor
porations were informally discussed.
1t was voted to call a meeting of the full
Board on Tuesday next at $50 p. M
THH REMEDY.-A well-known medical man
in this city, who stands in the front rank of his
profession, informs us that he has found mix
ture of equal parts of chlorate of potash, nj
trate of potash, liquorce powder and giner, to
be of great benefit in the treatment of horses
suffering from the prevailing epidemic A ia
BILE spoonful of the mixture should be given
daily in the food. In case the cough is sew ere
relief may be obtained by mustard application
to the throat and windpipe. The nostrels

water, and washed with weak solution of car
bolic acid. When the animal is weak the
strength should be supported by stimulants.
Depletive measures should be carefully avoid
ed. If this plan of treatment be carried out
and the stables kept disinfected, little danger
Iced be apprehended A sufficient supply of
pure air seems to be of the greatest importance
and light blanketing is of great benefit in miti-
eating the symptoms and fastening the period
of convalescence Gentle exercise seems to be
rather beneficial than otherwise.
RAILROAD ITEMs-The new turn-table for
the Boston & Maine in this city, Is expected to
arrive to-day. 1t is fifty-six feet in diameter,
made of wrought iron, and is said to be model
of its kind. 1t is to be put in the new engine
house near Vaughan's Bridge.
The crossing over the Ogdensburg and Maine
Central Railroads will be put in the first of
next week. The new engine house contains
seventeen stalls.
STAGE REHEARsAL.-The Grand Army had a
stage rehearsal of the Union Spy at City Hall
last evening. Though with no audience for a
stimulant the acting was spirited and gives
promise of an excellent entertainment. The
arrest of the spy in the second the prison scenes
in the third, and the clog dances in the fourth
acts were noticeably good. There is fatter-
ing prospect of a full house tonight.
