What Causes the Horse Disease

What is the cause of the 'epi- demic" The newspapers are discuss ing the cause now. Some of them attribute it to atmospherical influences, s, and these are doubtless right: for none but a general cause could produce such auniversal pre- valence among the horses from Canada to Georgia. One of the New York papers thinks it has discovered the origin of the dis order, in the concurrence of remarkably low barometer and low hygrometer on the l4tn of October. The weight and the dampness or dryness of the air may possi- bly, have something to do with the trouble, but that the state of the air on the 14th Of October did not cause the disease is proved by the fact1that the disease had already be gun, week before that time, That the real cause is atmospheric, seems also to be proved. Else why could the disease break out, almost simultaneously with it's appear ances, in Hartford for instrnce, on Block IsIand, place far out at sea, where no horse has teen conveyed from the main land for months? Can anybody answer that question?

TAXING CoLD.-If a cold settles on the outer covering of the lungs it becomes pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, which in many cases carries the strongest man to his grave within week. If Q cold falls upon the inner coverin g of the lungs, it is pleurisy, with it's knife-like pains and its slow recoveries. If cold settles in the joints, there is rheumatism ill it's various forms Infammatory rheuma. tism of the heart, which in an instant some times snaps the cord of life with no friend ly warning. It is of the utmost practical importance then in the wintry weather, to know not so much how to cure cold as how to avoid it. Colds always come from one cause, some part or the whole of the body being colder than natural for . time. If man will keep his feet warm always and never allow himself to be chill ed, he will never take cola in lifetime, and this can only be accomplished by due care in warm clothing and the avoidance of drafts and undue exposure. While multi tudes of colds come from cold feet, prehaps the majority arise from cooling off too quickly after becoming little warmer than natural from exercise or work, or from con- finement to warm apartment.

Rostnn Fire Notes.

One of the large safe-makers asks all merchants and business men to have their ledgers and other important books covered with canvass. He says all such coverings are found to have protected the books very well; the Russia leather, calf-skin, or any kind of leather cover will generate sort of steam, in a great fire, filling the safe and destroying the integrity of the pa per.
 It will cost Harvard University $200, 1000 to rebuild it's burned property in Boston. Only $10O,OOO of it's 2l6,000 insurance is good. The University is cut off from about $4O,OOO of rents until it can rebuild. Some of it's most essential expenditures were made from this income. Several of the professors salaries were paid from it, a portion was used for the repair of build ings, and the remainder was used in the every day needs of the college.

7he End Thereof. Rogers of Burlington last week retracted his assertion concerning our so-called treacherous and dishonerable conduct toward MT.

This he acknowledges is done and we are satisfied without any further controversy. lie threatens to set the law on us and make us re- tract. This we don't care very much about, and if the law asks us to eat every word we have ut tered, we care not Picayune so long az Rogers IS walopped. That is the main point. Last week we chanced to meet the gentleman, whose conver- sation some months since, which we supposed At the time we understood induced us to say in our issue of Oct. 25th that Rogers conduct on cer- tain Editorial excursion was infamous ana dls. graceful and he tells that we in the heat oi controversy put too high colorng to the conclusion we drew from the facts as stated" This sounds very well, and we must do the gentleman the jus tce to say that intended that there nc lack of coloring, but at the same time II our ln1or

A CIANDEsTINE MARRIAGE.-Our socia circles were considerably shocked, recently over the clandestine marriage of a young lady in high life, to nearly an utter stranger. The lady became acquainted with her suitor while travelling during the sum- mer, and he immediately sought her hand. The father, however, desired the young gentleman to show some credentials as to character before he would consent to the marriage. This the young man failed to do, but it is believed secretly met the lady at various times, and finally persuaded her to elope with him. The lady left home with the avowed intention of making some purchases on Main street, and nothing was again heard of her until evening, when a boy appeared at her parents residence with au envelope. This when opened was found to contain a marriage certificate, the marriage having been performed some hours previous. The happy pair are sup posed to have left for New York.-Pough- ksepsie Neaos.

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN-The Fishkill Journa! says that gentleman residing near Billings' station on the D. s c. road, about 10 l-2 o'clock, On Thursday evening last, saw in the southwestern sky bright frey streak of light, apparently hundred feet or so in length, standing at an angle of about 45 degrees to the horizon. It remained in this position for several minutes, when it gradually cWtled up in the form of 8 sickle, and disappeared. When first seen, it look ed like the path of falling meteor, but the fact of its remaining so long stationary seemed to preclude the idea of it's being such. We have never before heard of just such phenomenon, and are at loss to know what class it belongs to. The degree of it's brightness may be inferred from the fact that the gentleman who, in com pany with others, discovered it, Carried a lantern, and the glare of the bright streak in the sky was prominent, and attracted at- tention, notwithstanding the light which he had in his hand.
