heads.
Provisions are made for the healing of

ordinary cases, suppose some foot and
mouth disease should break out among
our bulls, where is the man, or men, to
whom we could turn, with even the
slightest semblance of confidence for the
assistance that would be wanted? That
a veterinary surgeon is required is gene
rally acknowledged, but it is complained
that we are too poor to pay for his ser
vices. The question, however, finally
reduces itself to this, whether it is pref
cradle to pay a small premium (not the
whole amount paid the veterinarian, tor his
ordinary services are worth sOmething)
for so much security as the presence OF
a skillful veterinarian may afford, or run the
whole risk of meeting an eventual epidemlc
without this assistance. In our oIAn-
ion the alternative is soon decided, and we
can therefore but approve of the step
taken by the Presidency in sending round
a Circular to Planters and administrators
for the purpose of inviting their co-opera-
ton in furthering the matter.

From Calls NesO, Letter }

The weather during the past fortnight has
been very extraordinary indeed, and there
have been several disasters both on sea and
land,
THE STORM oP THE TWELFTH.
Mr.. Racker the Observer in charge of he
United States Signal Station at Barbad os,
telegraphed to Jamaica and Washington on
the 18th instant, announcing a falling barometer
and indications of approaching weather. This
vas confirmed by another telegram on the
9Th; aud the storm broke ont on the 9th over
Barbados, St. Vincent, Martinique and Demera-
ra; doing considerable damage to shipping.
Jamaica had therefore early notification, but
it~was not until the 9th at noon that the
barometer at the Myrtle Bank Observatory
gave any indications of q decline, and at l
p. m. danger signals were hoisted. over the
Chamber of Commerce and remained up until
Monday, the 18th instant, when the barometer
recovered itself.
On Saturday Captain Cooper as Harbour
Master had all the vessels shifted into the
stream and placed in good anchorage. On
Sunday the sky was overcast and the wind
variable.
At Holland Bag, in the east. and along the
north coast the storm was most severe.
At 9 am. the gale had increased, the sea
had risen considerably beyond "high water
mark" BY next morning the wharf was
demolished, the Cable OOmpany's hut washed
away, and the Jamaica and Santiago (Cuba)
Gable injured. No damage was done in
Kingston harbour.
In the thunderstorm which followed, the
chimney on Constant Spring was blown down,
and the falling bricks did considerable injury
to the boiling house.
A. remarkable circumstance connected with
this storm has been a change in the currents
OF the ocean about the 9th Sept. The Capt.
of the American brigantine 81. Fl. Kennedy"
with q cargo of lumber from Pensacola for
Jamaica. reports to the Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce and Lloyd's Agent
here that when off Cape San Antonio on. the
23rd August he found a little current running
to the westward. After passing the Isle of
Pines he found the current running E.S.E.,
which continued until he arrived off the east-end
of Jamaica, when he could make no way,
and he then found the current running west
at the rate of "a miles in "a hours.
The shipping disasters reported as osnse-
Quent upon the present storm, which bsgun
to set in on the 18th September and eliminated
at Jamaica and its vicinity, are as follows -

will not be complete until the men on
