The DropsicaI Disease.

Dr. Crosby, the state veterinary surgeon, does not regard dropsy in horses as new disease, but as sequel of the universal plague, arising from the impoverished con- dition of the blood, through the faulty action of the kidneys. In it's present forms it is not contagious, but may run in- to glanders if not attended to, as all the horses are suffering from this typhoid con- dition of disease for the last few weeks. Dr. Greasy sees no reason why these poor creatures should not be treated with tonics, the same as one recovering from typhoid fever, where the vigor and tenacity of the system is lost from similar causes. The New Haven Register says 1.-The com mission from His Excellency, Governor Jewell, to the doctor will shortly expire, az the state will soon have been thoroughly visited, and the state is to be congratulated in the wisdom of the governor in thus sending out Dr. Crosby in this great time of need, to save the state from reign of quack. cry by every one who wished to call him. self horse doctor"

HORACE GREELEY's INsAN1TY--New York, Nov. 25th.-A medical gentleman stated yesterday that Dr. Brown, of the Bloomingdale asylum was applied to early last week to admit Horace Greeley into that institution as a patient. A morning paper publishes to day the story current in newspaper circles for nearly week that Horace Greeley is insane, and says he is now an inmate of an asylum at White Plains. The same paper makes public an interview with Whltelaw Reid, managing editor of the Tribune, in which he says in answer to questions, Greeley has been un- der medical treatment for some time. He is always eccentric in manner, aud very like ly might be considered by some stark mad, but he is simply nervously prostrate. For month prior to the death of his wife he did not sleep an hour 8 night, and since her death has been in the same condition. In answer to the question, ''Is it true that Mir. Greeley drew knife on one of his friends?" Reid is made to answer by the interviewer, ''I tell you he (Greeley) has done nothing which, to those who know him, seems strange. He is always an ec- centric man, and at best acts as if he were queer, but now, when nervously prostrated, strangers might think him crazy. have seen him positively furious when ths first proof had been brought to him instead of revise." Reid said, Notwithstanding the loss of sleep and appetite, MT. Greeley was in general good health, and made a re- quest of the reporter to say that "he was only nervously prostrated; there was no need of saying more. MT. Greeley has had enough to worry him, and what he needs is quiet and rest"

 New York has been noted for its marble. Boston for it's granite structures. But there probably will be less grinite in the restored Boston. Says the Boston Herald:
 Chicago taught us the value ot brick, the worlhessness of iron. Boston teaches the value of marble, the inferiority of gran ite. Brick stood, marble stood. Iron warp ed and fell. Granite cracked, exploded, and threw whole fronts into the streets These masses made the streets impossible, and our noble granite fronts were as pow erful friends to the fire as elevators and Mansard roofs. Marble stood the intense heat equally well with brick, as is visible among the ruins. What we loose in gran ite we gain in marble.
