The Horse Disease.
ITS CONTINUED PRESENCE ABOUT SMYRNA. BUT IN A
MIIDER EnRM.
From the Smyrna Tlmes, sth.l


[From the Smyrna Times, sth.l
From forty to fifty horses have died in Thor
oughfare and Raymond's Necks since Tuesday
of last week, of the staggers, or cerebro spinal
meningitis, and new cases are daily reported,
but fatality is not 80 frequent. Tho cessation
of the rains for over week have somewhat
checked the spread of the epidemic, however,
and this, with the enforced caution of the farm
ers, may terminate the calamity. The assertion
is made in some quarters that the disease has
been caused in not few instances by over work
and lack OF proper food. Provender is
short and many farmers have had moth
ing much but grass to feed with. Even under
favorable circumstances this could not have con-
tinued long without some disadvantages; bu t
when we take the watery, vapid condition of the
grass into the account the fatality is not go re-
markable after all. OF course, a number of
well-fed horses have died but the majority have
been of tho other sort, we are told. Young
horses have suffered far more than old ones, and
when the disease gets fast hold tits beyond all
remedies we are told. Such is experience. Rem
edies are numerous however, and a gentleman
hands us the following, sent him by a friend:
s'This disease generally sprevails during the
months of August, September and October. AS
soon as it is known that the disease is blind
staggers, take pork brine and rub it over the
horses body rub it we'll with the hand the
heat of the disease will soon dry it in then ap-
ply it two or three times, rub it we'll with the
hand. This have tried a number of times, and
never failed to cure. From the pen of one of
your most aged subscribers, purely for the pub

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS ON Yesterdays WORK AT
ERIE.
New York Tribune.l
Yesterday, by a two-thirds vote, the. Pennsyl-
vania Democracy turned their backs on honesty
and common sense, Brindleized the rag money
planks of the Ohio platform and adopted them
root and branch.
New York Times.l
1t id hardly possible that the Democratic Par.
ty can fail to fall under the substantial control
OF the intlationiats and repudiators, now that
these have carried the day in the two great
States of Ohio and Pennsylyania.
New York Herald.
The action of the Pennsylvania democrats is a
greater shock to public feeling than the Wild
aidacty of the party in Ohio. Ii the New York
democracy, in their Convention next week, de-
nounce imitation and stand for hard money, it
will be a voice crying in the wilderness. If the
democrats carry Ohio III October, no section of
the party can thereafter denounce imitation with
out subjecting itself to humiliating defeat in
the National Convention next year.

THE TESTIMONY OF AN IMPORTANT WITNESS FoI
THE EPRosEoUTIoN-ADn .ssIoNs OF THE ACCUSED.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-Henry A. Hartman
was the first witaess to-day, and by him counsel
for the prosecution explained it was intended to
show that the defendant had been seen from
time to time with Mosher and Douglass, and
also what statements and submissions Wester-
volt made to witness, the testimony to cover the
time between the abduction of Charley Ross and
the killing of Mosher and Douglass.
Witness testified that he knew Weatervelt,
and saw him very frequently in Mott street.
New York, where witness WAS attending bar
during the period mentioned. lie saw Mosher
once and Douglass twice during the month Of
July. They were introduced to him by Wester-
vet, who told witness that the two were from
Philadelphia. Tho second time witness saw
Douglas was some fourteen days after the first,
and Westervet was present as before. Witness
first heard Of tho abduction Of Charley Ross
through the newspapers. Westervelt read it to
him, and said he 'would bet two ehllipgs he
could tell some of the parties that were into it,"
Westervet told bis witness before the Rondout
trip that he was going on trip for day or two.
He was gone two days, and on his return told
witness he had been with Mosher and Douglass
up the river.
Witness was asked if he had conversation
with Westervelt in September about q signal, and
what it was Objected to as a leading ques-
ton. Objection not sustained Witness then
stated that in the latter part of September, or
early in October Westervet asked witness to let
bim know if chalk mark appeared on the cellar
door, as that would be sign that those par
ties were in town. After the killing at
Bay Ridge witness accompanied Wester-
welt to Brooklyn at the request of the latter.
During the trip to Brooklyn the two conversed
about Charley Ross. Westervelt said that ''those
were the parties. and if they were arrested the
child would not live three days." Witness
asked Westervet where the child was, whether
az I1o,, ~, 1,,tf rttrl,o
tell you." responded Westervelt. Later, in re-
sponse TO further questions on the part of wit
ness, defendant said that Mosher had the child
up the river, where he did not know.

Judge Johnsons Court convened at Wrights-
vile for the trial of negroes bills of indictment
were found against eleven persons. Jake Hicks
was put on trial first. After exhausting nearly
three panels, jury was obtained One witness
swore that the prisoner stated there would be
hot times il the future, that there would
be fighting, and that he would hold his gun
level. There was some proof that the prisoner
said that the lands would be divided, and each
colored man would get his forty acres and mule.
Judge johnson charged the jury that the evil
dence WAS not sufficient to convict, and that no
verdict agninst the prisoner should be rendered.
After an hours absence the jury returI ell

Up TIE HUDsoN--SMITH's EXCURSION, YEsTER-
three hundred exoursonists who went with z.
L. Il. Smith up the Hudson to Newburgh. The
party, after leaving Philadelphia, occupied six
cars, and duly reached Jersey City on time,
leaving there at 10 30 on the well known Della
ware riyer boat, Richard iSockton built 25 years
ago, by the Harlan " lIollingsworth firm OF this
city. The ride up the river was delightful, as
usual, though, owing to miscalculation Of
the Captain, who, in making the arrangements,
had counted OH having the tide favorable, the
tide was ebbing, and consequently the arrival at
Newburg was later than had been expected
Reaching there at 8 0,nearly an hour was spent
in visit, most of the party going ashore, and
walking up to the old building which Washing
ton occupied as his headquarters. Returning,
the party reached home at l.3O, this morning,
the whole trip having been perfect SUCCESS,
without all accident or break Of any solt.
