THE HORSE DIsB.ssB.

The chief topic of the week is the new
disease prevalent among horses. II orig-
mated in Canada, has spread to tho United
States, and is rapidly extending all over
the country. II is termed the Catarrhal
fever, aud the symptoms are flow of
tears from the eyes, a discharge from the
nose, and a general state of languor, with Il
cough, resulting in some instances, in par
oxysms and death. Usually, however, the
disease is mild in character, and with prop
err treatment, not greatly TO be feared. Its
sudden spread aud wide prevalence are re-
markable. At Boston the disease seems to
have reached its height on Saturday, and
the scenes witnessed were decidedly novel.
Ordinary modes of transportation were
rcvolutionized, and handcarts, wheelbar-
rows and small trucks came into use,
while heavy express teams drawn by 20
stalwart men. and teams on which were
two and four yokcs of oxen, were greeted
with cheers and uproarious laughter. Very
few horses were seen in the streets, and
in many departments business was al
most at Il stand-still. The horse-car lines
were greatly interrupted, and in many
cases compelled to suspend their trips, as
the did entirely Sunday.
In New York and Brooklyn, the gen
cral feeling of alarm is increasing. The
loss to business has already reached hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. The authori
ties state that the disease must run from
to 10 days, and If the wet weather contn-
ues may last much longer. Nearly all the
street car companies have drawn off all
their cars. The draymen have refused to
cart any more goods, and the steamboat
docks and railway depots have Sunday
air in consequence. The deaths on Satur-
day were 30, on Sunday "a, and Monday
0G.
Similar reports come from many of the
large cities and towns in New York and
New England, including our own state.
Mr.. Dana of the New York Sun, who is
an authority on all matters connected with
the horse, suggests this treatment: Sprin-
kle your stable frequently and plentiiully
with carboic acid and with gum camphor
dissolved in alcohol. Use chloride of lime
very freely. Put double the usual quanti-
ty of bedding under your horses. There is
no danger of rubbing their limbs and loins
too much. Every drop of water that they
drink should be pure and fresh. They
cannot have too much air, provided they
are not exposed to draught. Let your
horses rest.

the house of friends in Surry exposed him
to case of that disease, which had been
pronounced by DIR. Twitchcll of Keene,

have taken measures to secure the public
from exposure, and little solclude is felt
about the disease being communicated to
persons out of the family in which the ease
exists.

of the vilcness of the place, or of the per-
sons there assembled, for he would be a
shamed TO thereby admit that he or the

the woman question seems to be nearly
settled for the present in Wyoming, or at

New TESTIMONY TO THE GOOD EFFECTS
OF WOMAN SUFFRAdEIN WYoMING.-Lar-
annie City is one of the most inviting in its
appearance of all the new cities we have
seen since leaving Omaha, and the people
are Of an excellent class. One feels at home
as soon as he gets here, and no longer ieos
il so great a wonder that people are "con-
tent to live away out here among the Rocky
mountains" The fact is, since the OPEN
ing of the Pacific railroad this and the 9TH
err places along its line, once 50 far away,
are now comparatively near even to the
dweller on the Atlantic coast There is
one thing which perhaps explains the ad-
mirable condition of society in Laramie
City. Women vote in Wyoming territory,
and hold office. They vote at the same
time and place as the men and we are
told that there is 10 confusion or COM
motion at the polls. On the contrary,
the highest respect is shown by the men to
the women voters, and we are assured that
if any one should offer the slightest disro-
spect or insult to Il woman ut the polls he
would be summarily dealt with ON the spot.
Women act as Jurors, and one gentleman
who was instrumental in bringing about
this state Of things gave us an interesting
account of the moral influence which wo-
men jurors have exerted over those of the
sterner sex. II appears that the women,
mindful Of their high dutios aud RESPONSE
billties, endeavored to prepare themselves
for the work Of each day by humbly seek
ing Divine assistance, by prayer-a service
which it was understood was not specially
observed by the men. Tho result was,
however, that in a short time all the jurors
began the duties of tie day by Joining in
the religious services Of the morning Cur

INCORPORATION or THE VERMONT CEN
ITALIAN act has been prepared, and is
now before the Legislature of Vermont. for
the incorporation of the Central Vermont
Company" The meeting OF the stock
holders and parties interested in the road,
recently held in this city, was decidedly in
favor of the course, and it is presumed that
this draft of u bill embodies substantially
the wishes OF all concerned. The object of
the act is stated TO be the purchasing of the
Vermont Central and Vermont and Canada
Railroads, or either of said roads, and pur-
chasing or retiring, by exchange or other
wise, the stock and bonds of the Vermont
Central and Vermont and Canada Rail
road Companies, and the general operation
OF the roads. The capital stock il 10 be an
amount sufficient to purchase or retire the
first and second mortgage bonds of the
vermont Central aud such additional A.
mount as may be authorized by regular
stockholders meeting Suitable regula-
tlons are made for receiving subscriptions
ana ehecling the organization of the COM
pany. 1t is provided that nothing shall be
deemed TO impair the rights of the trustees
oil the hrst mortgage of the Vermont Con-
trail Railroad, to proceed to foreclosure of
the same, and if such foreclosure is obtain
ed, The Central Vermont Railroad Compa-
ny to The extent Of the bonds under said
mortgage which may have been exchanged
for stock in this company, shall DO treated
AS tenants in common with the holder or
holders of bonds under said mortgage, who
neglect or decline to exchange their bonds
for stock, and thereupon the court of chan
Gerry may take specified measures to have
the interest Of the holders appraised and
assigned to the company or else sold at
public auction. The consolidation OF the
Central Vermont and the Vermont and
Canada roads is provided for, as well as the
issue of preferred stock and of thirty years
bonds, and other ordinary details of man
agement. Whether al the clauses of this
bin will go through without amendment
we do not know, but il seems to be agreed
on all hands that such Il general act of in
corporation Is not only desirable but is alb
solutely essential to the development of

Another diplomatic victory for the Unit
q STATES has been achieved in the matter
Of the San Juan boundary. This dispute,
touching the exact line between our North
West and the British possessions, has been
IN progress great many years, and has
once or twice nearly led to war between the
United States and Great Britain. The
Treaty Of Washington, however, made pro-
vision for the settlement ofthis as well as the
Alabama controversy, by reference to arb
itratiOu. The arbitrator to whom this bust
ness was submitted was Emperor William,
ot Germany. After hearing all the facts in
the ease, this monarch has given his docis-
ion in favor of America. 1t is reported
that the British Government is making
strenuous efforts to nullify this decision;
but Emperor William and Prince Bismark
are not the men to change their minds at

THE MORALE OF THE PRESENT LEdIs-
LATURE.-In the editorial correspondence
Of the Newport Express we find flatter-
ing estimate of the present legislature of
the State. The writer says that, an point
of intellig ence and ability, with power to
tell what they know in debate, the present
House has had few equals and no superb
ors within the last decade. 1t is a strong,
wel-balanccd body. The same is evident
ly true as far as our limited knowledge of
the Senate enables us to judge. One fact is
worthy of comment and should be hailed
by the people of our State with unGeigned
joy We do not beieve that for the past
twenty-five years We have had so temper
ate a legislature. Through all the depar.-
ments, among all the employees in and a
bout the State House and in the Senate and
House you lind none of the "bummers,"
the old akerS, that have IN previous years
disgracod our halls OF legislation. 1t is
emphatically temperate assembly, with
out a parallel in our acquaintance. We re-
peat that it is just cause for public graft
tude, joy and thank sgiving."
