Tho Cattle Disease.

NOTES BY DIR. +. O. sHoRrLrpoE or Ills POST
MoRTEM EXAMlNAT1oN OF COWS DYING WITH
IT.
DR.. L. G.. Shortlidge, of the Ninth Ward, has
made a report to William Thatcher and David H.
Smith, at their request, in reference to the dis
case OF which seven head Of their cattle recently
died. Having made post-mortom examination
OF one, the following are bis notes
Blood flowed freely; was a dark, venous color.
found in normal state. Tho external aspect
of the heart WAS normal. The left ventiicle
contained little dark blood and presented n
number OF livid spots tho right ventriclo
contained small quantity of frothy blood, but
Was not blood stained. The amentary canal,
anterior to the fourth stomach was healthy the
mucous membrane Of this organ WAS OF a deep
red color. In the large intestine. from cUcum
| to the rectum, there was dark inky looking
deposit of blood along tho free edge
them, at different points, the membrane
was considerable congested. Tho liver was very
much congested, and the gall-blaider distendod
with dark bile. The kidneys were of deep red
color. and the bladder much distended with
bloody urine. The Spleen (or melt) weighed
six pounds and half, and was of a dark purple
tint, and its texture softened, go that | could
| easily perforate it with my fingers, whereas in II
healthy state it is solid and tough, and not easi-
| ly broken,
Since the examination have conyerscd with
| number Of our most intelligent butchers who
give the average weight of tho sploin or melt,
at two pounds in cattle of the weight of the ono
examined. l have also visited tho slaughter
houses and weighed number OF melts, finding
none over two pounds.
For the information OF the public, DR.. Short.
lidge annexes tho statement OF symptoms which
Messrs. Thatcher and Smith furnished him :
The ears Of Iho animal droop the pgait is slug
gish, the secretons are somewhat checked. In
cows yielding milk there is a sudden diminution
in the amount, by one half moro or less. At
first the animal eats occasionally and its pauneh
appears full but soon there is disposition to lie
down; noticed only ono of the seven that died TO
cough arched back, hollow ilanks tendency to
drag the hind legs under the belly. The ficccs
not materially affected, except in . few cases
which show slight hemorrhage, small delicate
blood clot on the surface of the dropping. In
every case showed from first symptoms bloody
| urine.
DR.. Shortlidge, in furnishing these notes for
| publication, would be glad il others, who have
| observed any Of the symptoms or character of
this disease woud make them public and ospeci-
| ally il they differ from him.

j NEW cAsTLE BUTCHER wAYLAID AND ROBBED BY
MASKED HIaHwAYMKN.

NEW CASTLE BUTCHER wAYLAID AND ROBBED BY
Masked HIaHwAYMKN.
On Wednesday night, between eight and nine
o'clock, F. Eagle, butcher living in New Castle,
left the City Hotel in this city, to return to his
home, and had proceeded AS far as the school
house about mile and half from Wilmington
when he was hailed by name, and told to "stop!"
Thinking it WAS some acquaintance who want
ed to ride with him to New Castle, he came to q
halt. when masked man rushed from the shad-
ow Of the woods and grabbed the reins Of his
horse, while at the same time another grabbed
Mr.. Eagle and jerked him from his carriage to
the ground. Here the two burglars
were Joined By two Co.oS or .sssa three other a@e
Of whom presented pistol at the head Of Mr.
Eagle, and demanded his money, the others
holding him tightly and ransackng his pockets.
Finding resistance to be useless against sucli
overwhelming numbers, Mr.. E. plead Of the
robbers to spare his life, and one OF the high
not to kill him.
The robbers, in the meantime, had found Mr..
Els posket book, in which was $422 and failing to
6nda any more they drugged their victim with
chloroform, and left him in an insensble cond-
tion, by which means they gained time enough
to cover their tracks and escape the pursuit Of
justice before the alarm could be given. The
gang then jumped into Mr.. Eagles wagon and
drove toward New Castle, but they had not driv-
on far before they abandoned it, and left the
gon. They were probably induced TO this
course by seeing carriage coming towards them
from New Castle. This last mentioned carriage
contained two young men, one Of whom was
Frank Beeson, butcher in Second street mar
ket who, seeing the abandoned horse and wa
gon, turned them about and brought sthem K
the City Hotel The young men on their retur1
back past the place the robbery was committed
did not SEQ Ar. Eagle, neither had they an,
idea that robbery had been committed until III
| formed Of the circumstance this morning.
Mr. Eagle, aftcr about All hour, recovered from
tho ehecta Of the chloroform, hAstened on afoo
| to New Castle where he arrived about II O'Clock
and informed Sheriff Armstrong, who with Dep
uty Brackin, accompanied him back to Whining
ton whore they arrived about O'Clock this morn
ing, and soon found the horse and wagon at th,
City Hotel but could get no clue to the robbers
The general supposition is that the robber
were persons who were acquainted with Mr.. Ea
gle, or some persons who saw him draw til
money from the bank, and thereby found ont hi
name and the amount OF money he had 1t was
most audacious outrage, indeed.

THE OLD FARM HOUSE.


At the foot Of the hill, near the old red mill,
In quiet, shady spot, U
Just pespIng through, half hid from view
Stands little moss-grown cot,
And strsying through at the open door,
The Sunbeama play ON the sandcd floor.
The easy chair, all patched with care,
IN placed by the old hearth-stone;
with witchIng grace, In the old fireplace,
The svergreens are strcwn.
Aud pictures hang on the whitened wall.
And the old clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely stiil. on tho window sill,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While midst the leayes on the moss-grown caves
The martin builds her nest.
And all day long the summer breeze
IL whispering love to the bended trees.
Over the door, all covered DER
With Sack Of dark green baiRe,
Lays musket Old, whose worth Ia told
In the events Of other dsya;
And the powder flask, and the hunters horn,
Have hung beside for many morn. ,i
For years have fed, with noIseless tread,
Lake fairy dreams away,
And left In their Night, oil shorn Of its might,
A father-Od and gray;
And the soft wind plays with his snow white hal
And the old man sleeps in his easy chair.
InSlle the door, on the sanded noor,
Light. airy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair, with naxen hair,
Kneela by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the Ivy clngs to It's trembling form.
