Boston Greatly Ineonvenienced-A Man
Takes the Disease.

The horse disease has at last reached q climax.
Horses are, indeed now few and far between In
the streets Of Boston, and in well known thorough
fares, where week since there was constant
stream OF vehicles OF all descriptions passing to
and fro, q horse and team is curiosity that even
attracts the attention Of the pedestrians that
thr0ng the sidewalks. The West Boston bridge
had continuous stream OF foot passengers this
was passing over 1t, but not horse OF any descrip
ton was to be seen, and all the teams
that pa passed 1cSt ior half d an hour ~ were an OK

Express Company. Prescott Il Chaplin, of
Broad street, have had rope harness made, and
ing trucks OF coal through the CITY, In fact many
wagons-some express, where respectable haste
heavy ae W
street with men supplying motive power, and all
hands seemed TO consider IL rather q good joke
than otherwise. There are no cars running with
the exception OF an occasional one about once an
hour on the Metropolitan line ofhorse cars.
The President OF the last named road has obtained
permission to use newly invented steam dummy
engine. Although there are so few horses out at
work. the disease is not worse than 1t was yester-
day, as most OF the railroad and stage companies
believe that by resting to-day and tomorrow they
will perhaps be able to get to work by Monday.
The freight depots are already crowded with mer-
chandise, and on some lines orders have been sent
TO send no more, as 1t cannot be removed
from the depot. As yet only some four or
five deaths are reported, but many more are ex-
pected before morning. Aconite appears to be the
remedy most generally in use,. coupled with
shorts" mixed with compound feed for horses
that acts tonic upon their systems. The livery
stable horses are all laid up with the disease, but
there are few still working Tomorrow, 1t IL
said, there will hardly be horse In the streets.
The first known and authentic case OF the disease
now so prevalent among horses being communt-
Gated to q human being was reported here to-day.
Russell White, the driver OF engine four, while at
tending to his horses, was suddenly taken with the
disease and was conveyed to his home. He nad all
the symptoms OF the disease, coughing, running at
the nose and eyes and general feverisn debility.
