A Tour of the Stables.

Animated by desire to obtain the latest and
most authentic intelligence in regard to the pre-
vailing horse epidemic, a reporter was detailed
from the PRESS Office last evening to make
tour of the various stables in town and furnish
report of the progress of the disease Despite
the fearfully muddy condition of the crossings
and drizzlng rain from the murky clouds
overhead our reporter, instigated by truth
loving disposition, started upon his rounds.
Calling at Browns stable he found some eight
horses suffering from the disease, though none
of them appeared to be dangerously affected.
!, They appeared to be no better and no worse.
The next stable visited was Ripley's, where
twenty eight horses are sick. A slight improve
ment in their condition is reported, but most of
them are not yet fit for use.
Proceeding to Davis stable the reporter found
sixteen horses all of whom were sick, but in a
fair way for recovery, the disease appearing
only in mild form.
At Grants stable a noticeable improvement
has taken place, and in most cases the tenden-
cy of the disease is toward a speedy and favor
able termination DIR. Thayers horse, which
is boarded at this stable, is still very sick, and
DR.. B. B. Fosters quite so.
At Sager's stable great change for the bet
ter was noticeable. Of the ffty-four horses af-
fected not one but seems in fair way of re-
covery The animal for whom the greatest
fears were entertained is now considered out of
danger. tHr
Robinson reports slight improvement at
his stable. He has many sick horses but no
new cases, and the animals are all apparently
showing decidedly improved condition. DIR.
Gilman's mare "Fan," reported dead, is about
the liveliest corpse our reporter has seen for
some time. Her eyes are very expressive for
the eyes of a corpse, and she moves with great
freedom considering she is a "dem'd disagree
able dead body" Seriously the beast is but
slightly affected, and from present appearances
will soon be in her usual state Of health.
At the Horse Railroad stables the horses are
reported as generally improving in condition,
there being but one or two serious cases. 1t
may be some days yet before the horses will be
able to resume work.
At Libby's stable every horse but one is sick,
and no improvement seems yet to have taken
place. The valuable animal "Selim" is dan
gerouslylsick and expected to die at any mo-
ment. aua 54
On Commercial street the aspect of affairs is
about the same, though fewer horses are in use
than at any time previous. Moses T. Josselyn,
truckman, has lost one ANIMAL and DR..
Clark is also reported to have lost one
These are all the deaths to be chronicled since
our last. Oxen are in more general use than
ever, though some trouble is apprehended from
the tenderness of their feet when brought in
contact with the pavements
Considering the stables visited to furnish fair
test of the ravages and present condition of the
epidemic, our reporter slowly retraced his steps
to the office, musing on the strengthened signi-
fcance of the term, ''sick as a horse"

named Stephen Thompson, employed in John

possible, but not before he was wound up tight

arm was badly bruised and the hand twisted.

ALL HALLowEEN.-Yes Yesterday was the festi-
val of All Saints Day, perhaps better known
as All Halloweens The festival, which has
been observed by Christians ever since the ninth
century, is thought by many to have taken it's
origin in the time of the Druids, though some
contend that it is but the adaptation of an old
heather ceremony, in vogue long before the
present era. As its name Signifies the day is
hallowed to the memory of the Saints of every
age and Cline The observance of All Hallow-
cen is not very general in this country, New
Orleans, we believe, being the only city where
all its time-consecrated usages are carried out.
There it is observed as sort of Decoration
Day, the Spanish and French residents taking
occasion to place funeral decorations on the
limbs of departed friends. In this city appro-
pirate services were held morning and evening
at the Cathedral of the Conception. The high
altar was one blaze of light, and the sonorous
sentences of the litany, the organs deep peal,
and procession of srolite with lighted tapers
produced an effect solemn and impressive
Bishop Bacon celebrated high mass assisted by
Rev. Fathers De Rose, Bradley and Daniels.
The festival was also observed at ST. Luke's
Cathedral.

from tho San Francisco Alta.)


From tho San Francisco Alta.l
Richard Brandt has commenced suit
In the United States Circuit Court
against Arthur Newmanl, first officer
Of tho schooner Hutchinson, and the
second officer, named Peterson, fol-
alleged cruel treatment on the high
seas. a preliminary trial was had
yesterday, before United States Com.
missioner l.. S. B. Sawyer, who held
the defendant to answer. From the
testimony, 1t appears that Brandt, n
seaman Of the Hutchinson, while the
schooner was In an Alaskan port, was
assaulted by the second mate. who
struck and knocked him down. Brandt
then turned upon his assailant, cot his
head In chancery, and pummeled him
freely. The first mate came to the
assistance Of Peterson, and dubbed
Brandt with q broom-handle. While
this was going on, the second mate
armed himself with IN ax. with which
he threatened to strike Brandt. Tho
cook arrived upon the scene in time to
disarm him before no had an oppor-
tunity to strike. During the moleo
Delaying pins were used in addition to
tho warlikc implements already men,
toned. But the testimony Of Brandt
made 1t appear that tho second mate
had Just at that time q peculiar relish
for fresh meat. He was very anxious
to blto of the top of Brandt's nose,
and declared that he would do so.
Brandt protested; insisted that hc
could not spare evon tho slightest par
ticle Of his nasal bridge; that he re-
quirod 1t full size, and without any
diminutlon wh9tcyer. Protests were
In vain. Tho second mates teeth
watered for q taste Of Brandt's nose,
and they were not disappointed. Sud-
denly springing upon him and Selling
him firmly with both arms, he opened
wide his Jaws. which closed again with
