ACTION OF THE STATE AGRICULTURAL So
cIE1Y IN REGARD TO THE REPUTED DISEASE
IN CATTLE.--The Governor of Virginia
(who is also an active member OF the Asrf-
cultural. Society having laid before that
body in general meeting communication
from gentleman OF Loudoun county COW
ering an editorial Of the Washington
Post upon the subject OF disease said to
be prevailing amongst the mich cattle OF
Washington and Alexandria, the Society,
deeming the matter OF sufficient Importance,
referred it to the Executive Committee for
investigation and report. That committee
detailed two Of their members to 90 to the
districts supposed to be infected with the
disease, make full investigation OF the facts
OF the case, and take such action rs the in
terests OF the agriculturists of the State
might require. The report says:
din accordance with these instructions the
undersigned beg leave to report: That Tor
two months In one locality in the city of
Lvnchburg there prevailed during the past
summer n disease amongst the dairy cows,
supposed to be murrain, not OF a very fatal
character, and which has now entirely dis
appeared; that about six weeks ago there
also existed disease amongst the dairy
COWS in and around Alexandria, which, as
far as they can learn, was fatal to the extent
OF about twenty-five or thirty animals, which
disease seemed to be an affection of the
lungs, and was called pluro-pneumonia or
lung fever, but partaking in no respect OF
the nature OF .rinderpest -; that this dis
ease did not seem to be contagious, and
that it has now nearly subsidized in that To-
cality. Apart from these two instances the
undersigned can hear OF no disease which
has prevailed amongst the cattle Of Virginia,
nor do they see in their investigation Of the
subject any cause of alarm to the grazing
interests of the State.
