Hog Cholera, .

This disease is known by the vernacu.
lar or common name of distemper, red
soldiers, red disease, blue sickness, blue
disease, hog cholera and measles. The
latter names are very wrongly applied.
Il ia subject respecting which there is a
great diversity of opinion, some regarding
it as taphts, Others as anthrar, hence the
various appellations. Tt is undoubtedly
a blood disease.
1t is a malady that appears FIRST to
affect the digestive organs, and then the
blood unhrgoes changes favorable to
transudatians, which occur in different
parts of tha booy. By most authorities
it is considered contagious.

FARM AND HOME.
Cattle Ira winter.


AS the years run, farm work will no
press this month, and yet, if the weathel
, should chance to be mild and open, there
will be no need of any loss of ii lie fol-
want of something to do. The chores
about the barn, in the woodshed and the
tool-house will occupy large share Of
attention, and they cannot be neglected.
The live stock of every kind is entirely
dependent upon us at this season, and
the thrift and profit of COWS, horses, sheep,
pfgs and poultry, will rise or fall in
F@Rportion to the care which they
i've. Some folks think, or seem to
Tx, that if they give cattle enough to
in cold weather, it is all they can do.
8it as man does not live by bread alone,
ae cattle that minister to his comfort
and supply his wants, do not thrive by
nay alone. Hay may keep them alive,
but to secure thrift we must study their
comfort in every way, and this requires
us to look out for cleanliness, good air,
good water and enough of it, without ex-
posing time to the extreme cold of stormy
weather. We think the card and the
curry comb ought to have exercise every
day, and they agree with "a cows back
uncommonly well. A change of variety
OF TODD, also, seems to be desirable,
-~~%2ugh there may be some difference of

roots to feed, or pumpkins, and if

feed the young stock with it all through
the winter. If they got cattle through
alive they were apt to think themselves
lucky. In large majority of cases their
stock was poor, and not unfrequently
they were nothing but skin and bones.
There has been vast improvement in the /
wlntering of stock in the last quarter of I
century, and, though there are cases of
neglect and bad management now, here
and there, we understand the principles
of feeding better than our fathers and
grandfathers did, and cattle, as general
sule, are far better wintered than they
used to be. They are less exposed to cold
storms than they used to be. They are
not purposely left out to "toughen," as
bhey used to be, and so they come out in

By increasing the growth OF the plants.

THE REMEE CLARK CASE.
An Interview with the Mayor and ChIet
Of Police on the subject of the
Court nfEIcRF,

reporter of this paper yesterday entered
the Mayors parlor, and after greeting his honor
with the usual good morning" said: Mr..
Mayor, there is considerable talk in police
circles regarding the shooting IL the aes re
Sampson Willie by Remie CLARK, who claims to
be court officer under Recorder Smith OF the
First Municipal Police Court. aud 1t s openly
avOwed that Clark is not court officer, and
that he does not hold commission either as a
court officer or police officer"
May0r-He does not hold commits ion from
me either as court officer or o police Offleer
and hence he cannot be- recognized as an Cth .er
In either capacity.
Rip.-Then why is he serving warrants and
shooting people who refuse to do his bidding
Mayor--I suppose he is recognized by Reeor-
der Smith, who gives him the warrants tn serve.
Rep.-Has Recorder smith right 10 appoint
and commits lon court officers
Mayor know Of no law that grants him that
power. Now as you know all police officers are
appointed by the Council. Recorder smith. how.
ever, haa taken upon himself to appoint several
mrn In his court who are executing warrants
and carrying out the orders OF mis- court; they
have MT the power to act and should n t act.
Rep.-It strikes mo, your honor, that Recorder
Smith has got himself in the nine hole.
Mayor-He has gotten himself in the worst
box yet, and one, think, he will have cobsid-
cradle trouble to get out of.
Rep.-Then. If Willie dies, as Is probably the
case, Recorder Smith Is responsible for his
death
Mayor-Tbat Ii my opinion Remie Clark was
not an officer Of the law. and had no right 10
serve a warrant.
Rep suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that there are other men in the court who
do not hold commissions. VIII they be paid for
their services?
Meyor-It is doubtful: yet 1t is hard that men
should work without being paid for it.
Reptile Council Was Civ n report Of the
amount Of work done By Recorder Smiths
eleven court officers, was 1t n0t2
Mayor Yes, and we have requested Judge
Miltenberger to furnish us tho same sort OF q
report. Then We will be able to compare them
and see the result.
This ended the In erview with the Mayor and
the reporter Withdrew. He then called on Chief
B0ylan and conversed with him on the same
subject.
q commission from the Mayor a right to serve
q warrant
Chief-No, sir; man who is not robed with
the proper authority has no right to serve a
warrant or to enter another mans domain In
the execution OF such warrant when he Is not
an officer of the law.
Rep.-If those warrants were given TO you las
they read ITO the chief I police Or any con~ta,
bic RreetingD could you not have them served
with ease?
Chief-I could. If they were given to me.

THE ORMsRY CASE.
The Accused Is Released On a verdict of
Not Guilty.

At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the court
room Of the Superior Criminal Court was filled
with an anxious audience. which had assem-
bled to witness the proceedings In the trial Of
Mrs. Emily J. Ormsby. accused Of the poison
ing OF Sarah Alexson Brown, on the fourth Of
April. 1873 The court vas opened at 10 o'clock,
but the case was not ca led before II u.s. At that
hour the Jury took their seats and amidst
breathless interest the accused walked to her
place at the bar.
No argument was made by counsel on any
eide, and after the examination OF several VII
n esses whose testimony is in substance tna
same Ps that already ELECTED ct the coroner's
Inquest held on the body OF the deceased. the
Judge charged the jury. The jury then retired
to consult and at about 2 o'clock returned WITH
a verdict OF Not guilty.
Whsn the Jury ente ed the accused stood up
with great aEVparent calmness. and the, most in
tense silence refgned throughout the court.
When the verdict was read several persons, for
citing the respect due to the place, manifested
their &pprobation by rlapping their hands and
stsmpinq on the floor. Several ladies', in the
excitement. rose from their seats and waved
their fans and bandkercbiefs. This. sympa-
thetie outburst was quickly stopped by The
deputy sheriff5. This case attracted good
deal of interest both from those who knew Mrs.
Ormsby and those who only saw her In court.
