TIE HORSE NAEADY.
r.pid Increase in the City-Nearly
al of tho Horses have it-strect
cars suspemded-DrayaE Up in n
Ea,Ieon-NO Deaths Reported Yet.
Sc, &C.
The epic otic has made a rapid increase
IN our city during the last AZ hours, and it
VAS a:certained early yesterday morning
that large majority of tic horses in the
citv had become attacked by it. This large
increase Of cases is thought to be due, to a
great extent, TO the recent and sudden
Change from mild temperature to the
biting cold Ct last Saturday night and
Sunday.
Horses may be seen now led about the
streets at almost any hour of the day, we'll
blanketed and carefully tended, for little
exercise, and it is only occasionally that
YOU find one Of them at work, those that
are we'll being kept in to prevent catching
the disease, and those that have already
been attacked having been placed under a
course of medical treatment.
Messrs. Switzerland Il Steagan's
80 are SO horses, and every one
o1\ - IS contracted the disease to
greasy aiess extent. The majority Of
them arr very slightly affected, but there
are some few that exhibit very severe
attack. These horses are all carefully
qrooIned, medicined and dieted, and are
led out each day for exercise. With this
exception they are not allowed to leave the
stalls.
Mr.. S. A. Currie says that he has so
horses III his stable and that only ? Of
these are attacked. His doors are all kept
closed and sulphur is being constantly
burned in the building.
There are II horses III the street car
stables, only , Of which have escaped the
diseas AS a consequence the street cars
have all been stopped with the exception
of mail car.
On the wharves, scarcely Il horse is to
be seen, and business has consequently
received Il sudden and severe check. This
will, however, be remedied to-day, to
great extent, as measures will be inau-
gated by several houses, to haul by hand
at not much create: expense than the
usual rates of drayaga.
On the whole, although we have the cpl
zoo.ic in full blast, it has assumed, thus
far, mild type and there are earnest
hopes that it may not Re ain long IL this
latitude.
