Another Horse Epidemic;

A disease not unlike diphtheria is
quite prevalent among the horses in the
vicinity. The disease first attacks the
throat, p ieahsfng inflammation of the
larynx and prevents the animal from
swallowing, thereby causing death from
starvation. A post-mortem examine
tfon of an animal that died from this
/ disease reveals large effusions0f lymph
in the air passages, particularly sur
rounding the larynx.s-Fhe symptom of
this disease is running Of frothy mu-
Gus from the nostrils, and drooling from
the mouth; general debility, resulting
from non-nutrition. The veterinary
surgeons say that the only remedy for
the disease is the operation of the
esophagotomy, or making an incision
III the esophagus and inserting tube
through which the food would pass into
the stomach. Some practitioners say a
tube can be passed into the nostrils to
connect with the stomach, but it is a
difficult operation, and is not attended
with success two times out of ten. As
q remedy, chlorate of potassia. in solu-
ton, to drink, is considered the best in
the first stages; blisters are then ap-
piled as counter-irritants; and then
when symptoms of paralysis appear
small doses of strychnia are given.
Within the past few days several horses
at the West End and in the Highlands

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

COTTAGE PUDDING.-1 cup of milk,
] cup of butter cup of sugar, eggs,
pint of -four, teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, little salt. Bake 40 minutes
in an ordinary cake-pan, and serve with
sweet sauce.
POLISHING ZINC.-Takeo one part mu-
Ratio acid to two parts of water; scour
the zinc well with this mixture and fine
sand; then dry carefully, and give athin
coating of oil. Zinc thus polished will
keep in luster for tong time.
GREEN TOMATO SAUCE.-Take full
grown green tomatoes, take out, the
stems and stew them till soft; rub them
through a sieve; put the pulp on the
fire, seasoned with pepper, salt and
spices; add some garlic and stew all to-
gether till thick. 1t keeps well, and is
excellent for seasoning gravies.
PEACH JAM.-Take ripe peaches,
peel and stone them, put them in pan
over the fire and mash. them till hot,
then rub them through a sieve, and to
each pound of fruit allow pound of
white sugar and ounce of bitter
almonds blanched and pounded let it
boil Is minutes, stir and skim it well.
How. To COOK GOLDFISH the
fish to soak in cold water over night.
In the morning remove it into fresh
warm water and set by the fire. Half
an hour previous to its being dished
up, change into fresh water, and sim
mer over the fire nearly to boiling heat,
but no higher. This management does
not draw out, but revives and enlvens
the nutritious substance in them; and
leaves the fish tender and delicious.
BEEF0CAKEs.-Chop pieces Of roast
beef very fine, mix in grated bread
crumbs in proportion of ! crumbs to 3
beef; season with pepper, salt, chopped
onions and parsley !; moisten with a lit
tie of the drippipgs or catsup; "a little
cold ham or tongue will improve them;
make in fiat cakes, and spread coat OF
mashed potatoes on the top and bottom
of each. Lay piece of butter on every
cake and set in quick oven to brown.
Other cold meats may be prepared in
the same WaV. - t

Married and Crazed In a Week.

One of the SaddeSt records we have
ever made in these columns is the fol-
lowing About two weeks since gen.
tleman from this county, who is one of
our most prominent business men, was
united in marriage with . charming and
accomplished young lady from one of
the cities of the bay. The couple went
to San Jose to spend a few days of that
usually blissful period, the first of mar
ried life. Their union took place on
Sunday, and very early the next Thurs
day morning the bridegroom was awak-
ened by hearing his young bride en-
gagged in prayers. Suddenly her pray
ing was changed to singing, and this
was followed by loud laughter, until the
horrible fear took hold of the gentle
mans mind that his beloved wife had
lost her reason. Thinking that change
and the quiet of country home would
be beneficial, the couple started at once
for home. The lady's malady grew
steadily worse on the journey, and no
benefit was derived at their new home,
and few days since it was necessary
to take her back to her parental asso-
Citations, in the hope that a. mothers
care would prove the panacea. The
spectacle, as the party passed down the
road, was one of the saddest and most
pitiable that could be imagined. The
bride of week had become raving
maniac, wild and violent, requiring the
of several persons to hold her.
Her husband s grief was terrible beyond
expression.-Marin (Cdl.) journal.

states that all his subjects who do

This iuducement to patronage Is
more powerful even than a gift chro-
mo. The same principle is acted
upon occasionally Jy our American
Journals. Nothing is more effective
than an appeal to the seif.interest OF
those who ought to support great en-.

subjects would hook better if they all
shaved their faces, he issued a decree
that any one carght wearing beard
or mustache woald be fined 100 rou-
bles. They all had cleanfaces within
a few days. The fact shows how easl-
