MISCELLANEOUS HORSE NOTES.
It is the opinion of horse men that the cpl
demic in this city has reached 3 crisis, and that
to insure speedy abatement Of the disease, no
horses should be worked who are in the least
affected, as the result when they are worked is
that the disease settles upon the lungs, in which
case the animal is in a very serious condition.
The disease when it settles upon the lungs is aB
contagious as at first taking, and will affect all
those horses who are in q convalescent state.
Therefore, all sick horess on the street should
be at once removed, that we may not suffer the
severity with which the maiady has been attend
ed in the East.
An ordinary occurrence on State street yester-
day afternoon, attracted most extraordinary at
tention. 4 horse hitched to buggy determined
to show that he was free from disease, began
series Of lively movements, whereby he became
almost unmanngeable. Ho attracted q crowd OF
spectators, and made himself q hero Of what is
nova days most remarkable circumstance.
The deaths are few, and only result where the
horse has been kept at work after the disease is
upon him. 1t then settles upon the lungs, and
is generally fatal. We hear Of four deaths yes
terday, one of horse belonging to the Nor
chants Union Express Company, one in Walkers

There is always some amusement croated by
general calamity. This was exemplifed yester-
cay afternoon BY the appearance on the streets
OF closed wagon, covered with tags, contain

number Of their employees in rubber coats.
DR.. Henry ]. Hofolk reports that the disease
has not developed any more serious phases, and
it horses are properly cared 1or they WI az
that where horses have swollen glands and are
dry at the nose, they be steamed every two
hours with bran or hay-aowe1s. This will soften
the glands and start their noses to running.
The Fire Patrol, an institution run by the
Board Of Underwriters, which has on numerous
occasions proven it's great utility, has submitted
to be nnhoreed, and, while the eick animals are
carefully looked to, have organized to run with
the drag-rope, carrying their canvas and axes IN
q light wagon.
The Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals have engaged three more special police,
among them DR.. Zaremba, OF yapor bath celeb-

valued at 81 000. It took cold following the epi-
zootic. Only the greatest caution can saTe many
Of the animals now suffering under the malady
We noticed several grooms moro Jealous than

and dangerous. The exposure must be avoided
In the matter Of feed, = peculiar thing has
been found at the Stockton stables; horses which

relish.

AID. Holden said that was the division where
the great trouble WAS, and if Aldermen could
provide some way Of getting dummy over
there, they would be much obliged.
Aid. McGenniss understood the South Side
Company had hut two dummy engines, which
could not be run around curves, so they could
not get over on the Vest Side.

Division since the West Side Companies might
have time to get q dummy; the disease might
