MATTERS IN MAINE.
The Horse Epidemic.

The Horse Epidemic.
BRUNSWICK, Oct 29.-The horse disease has
spread rapidly in this vicinity since Saturday,
but it prevails in so mild form that most of
owners continue to use their horses for light
work. Reports from Harpswell, Bowdoinham
and other neighboring towns say that the dis
ease is also spreading in those places
The Regular Thing.
ROCKLAND, Oct. 29.-The horse distemper in
mild form, has appeared in our city. At two
or three of the stables few horses have been
coughing little for day or two and exhibit
ing the usual symptoms of a cold, but all ar
well as yet and it is hoped the disease will not
assume serious form here Two or three sup.
posed cases Of the prevailing epidemic are also
reported among the team horses owned in the
city. s sfl-. .sEosls
BANGOR, Oct 29.-Fred Cliche, six years old,
son of John Cliche of Bucksport, was drowned
at that place yesterday.
Good TempIars.
The semi-annual session of the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars is in session here to-day with
G. w. G. T., David Boyed, in the chair.
The Horse Distemper.
A visit to the stables in this city tonight
shows the condition of the horse disease to be
rather favorable than otherwise, although near
ly every animal is affected to a greater or less
degree, there are as yet no fatal cases and but
few very severe. Some which have been sup
posed past recovery are now doing well. Mr..
Shaw of the Bangor House stables has had
most of his coach horses SICK but all are much
better and able to be worked little every day.
He attributes his success to the free use of
Johnson's Anodyne Linment, which has been
one of the principal remedies administered
here.
Most owners of horses keep them up as a
matter of precaution and in consequence it is
difficult to get goods delivered through the city.
The clear cold weather is very favorable to the
recovery of the animals.
Mules as well as horses have the disease and
one of the worst cases is that of a mule belong
ing to Matthias express.
Somerset Railroad.
LEWISTON, Oct, 29.-Mr. Pittman, contractor
for laying the track of the Somerset railroad,
commenced putting down iron at West Water
vile to-day.

The Terrible Horse Disease.

Boats on the Erie Canal are tied up from one

Common Council has established a regulation
for hand-carts, there being no horses to truck
goods, and it is with difficulty they can be OBJ
tanned to attend funerals. The President of
the United States has sent instructions to our
Consuls on the Canadian line to prevent the
further importation of diseased horses. There
are probably $4,000 sick horses in New York
and Brooklyn to-day. The disease travels in
the air, and seems to attack about one-third of
the horses in stable at the same instant.
Then others come down by degrees. 1t exhib-
its three phases; the Catarrhal, Rheumatic and
neutrality-suspicious., and all termed Epizootic
Influenza.
Its treatment is not understood, and the dis
ease is frequently fatal. The animal must be
kept unusually warm and clean. The legs,
throat, &c, washed with emollent.. The

SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF MISFORTUNE
The malady which is depriving society of the
valued services of the horse will bring good re-
suits with its evils, in self reliance and better
education in some of the important phases of
daily life. Hereafter every householder and
head of family will learn how to be his own
truckman. 1t is an affecting sight to see pater
tdnailids carrying home basket of onions, but
his table will rejoice in better joints and more
succulent vegetables. What is werth doing at
all is worth doing WELL and while the customer
is waiting for his cut he will learn something of
bovine anatomy, and find out the location Of
the latest and ripest pieces, And there is
feeling of independence in carrying home your
own dinner, that is not appreciated by every
body. 1t is the most satisfying experiment
that can be tried. A good deal of excellent
muscle can be developed in walking down town
and back again. It's little hard to the mex
perienced at first, but they must pick their
corns and try again; the result will be protita-
BILE in time. At any rate people will have a
chance to try these excellent practices for a
while at least.

When the throat, belly, and legs of the ami
NAL are early ribbed with this liniment, and
cloths saturated with it bound on the legs, the
disease is checked and the animal soon recov-

sponged with warm water. The feed must be
soft nash-carrots and sailed hay. The water

has become severe, give warm 1ax-seed tea
with little Spirits of Nitre and Belladonna
and Muriate of Ammonia in small doses three

horses taking the disease is the early use of the

THE HORSE DIsEAsE.- The condition of
things in this city in consequence of the dis
temper,is relatively about the same as on Mon
day. Oxen have very generally taken the place
of horses in heavy trucking; still merchants
have goods piled up in and around their stores
which they cannot get off fast enough to keep
up with the receipt of orders. The disease is
extending, good many new cases being re-
ported yesterday, and while a majority of the
patients are comfortable or slowly improving,
there are great many very sick horses in the
different stables; some dangerously so. We
heard yesterday of several deaths, but none
were authenticated. In two of the cases re-
ported we found the animals alive, but quite
sick, In one stable of twenty horses we found
bnt one case of serious illness; in another of
fifty horses there was one bad case of fever
where the lungs were affected. Every horse in
the car stables is sick; some of them slightly
i'll. The managers say they will take time and
not run car out until their animals are beyond
the reach of a relapse. Stable men and veter-
mary surgeons think the disease has not reach
ed the climax, but that nine out of ten horses
are bound to suffer. The aspect is that for sew
eral days we are to put up with the present in
conveniences, and business which depends up
on horses for lite prosecution must languish un-
til the disease has had its full rum
