THE HORSE DISEASE IN BosToN.-Boston is
sull an afflicted city. Among other news re-
lating to the horse disease the Journal of last
evening has the following, which shows some
of the drol incidents of the visitation, as well as
the more serious consequences:
A number Of teams were seen at the several
southern depots, and the first good thing per-
formed was the taking away of the great bulk
OF baggage and express packages. This light
freight was called for in a majority of eases by
teamsters and eXpreSsmcu, who had their horses
out only Tor n short time, and as soon rs their
particular work was accomplished, the horses
were to 20 to the stables All the morning
teams were carefully handled, and many were
obliged to rest every little while.
At the Boston aud Albany freight houses
| there are immense stores Of goods, accumulated
! since Tuesday last. The three large structures
are so full that trains of loaded cars are sent out
| to lay on the Back Bay Sdin@s till they can be
| accommodated in the yard. One lot of flour,
numbering 5000 barrels, came in Saturday and
had TO be rolled by skidS from one OF the freight
shed to a Storehouse alongside. No orders have
! been received at this depot 10 refuse New York
! frcights and the road has no trouble in for
warding through ireghts New York city

| shipments and arrivals are only about onc-tenth
what they would otherwise be il the stdguation
caused by the horse distemper had aOated on
Saturday.
