SHOULD IT NOT BE SToPPED.-The dis
astrous effect of working horses before
cured of the epizootic is shown in New
York city, where an equine dropsy is
raging with fatal effect. Fifty per cent
of those attacked die 1t does not con-
fine itself to horses that have had the
epizootic, but they are more liable to
it-horses worked before fully restored
invariably get it. 1t is cruel to work
a sick horse or one not entirely restored
vet men do it. We have seen horses
working hard during this week that
seemed almost too sick to stand up.
Should not an ordinance similar to the
one passed by the City Councils OF
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati and
other cities be passed by ours. and be
vigorously enforced. If horses are
killed by being worked too long or too
soon, it will keep the price of hauling
up, and people will suffer during the
coming winter because Of the lack OF
teams.

CORNER IN CABBAGEs.-The attend
ance in market yesterday morning OF
country teams was very slim. About
half a dozen farm wagons were all that
greeted the eyes of the "early birds
who were after not "worms" but wit
tails. The consequence OF this absence
of farmers and gardeners was an absence
Of that very necessary article of diet
cabbage. In all the market not more
than twenty cabbage heads were to be
seen, if we except those that had hats
on. Well, a German friend OF ours
one not entirely disconnected with the
newspaper business-saw in the dim
distance failure in the kraut crops al
because of the epizooty. From wagon
to wagon he went and in few moments
was the proud possessor of all the cab
bages in the market. He had made
corner in kraut. We saw him short
time after his purcharse, the happies
man in Wheeling; the proud father o.
new baby and the undisputed owner
OF thirty cabbages. Gut He'll!

him q pocket-book containing over
twenty-five dollars in money. While
asleep the dishonest companion had cut
out the pocket with a penknife and

A universal ARTICLE OF FAITH.-ln
these days of religious contention it has
been thought impossible to indicate an
article Of faith upon which all sects and
classes were united, There is one, how
ever, and very notable one, too, viz
a belief which is implicit and universal
in the paramount efficacy of that

wares by deriving all spirtuous me-
dcinsl preparations. But the public

enemy as entirely too thin
