 SICK CATTLE IN WATERrowN.-The preva lence of peuro-pneumona among the cattle of WatertoWn causes much excitement. It broke out Tn herd of nineteen COWS belonging to Curtiss Johnson of the Gramercy Park hotel, New York. Five have died, and nearly all the others are more or less affected; one will most certainly die and perhaps some of the oth- ers though the disease is sad not to be fatal One was killed Friday and examined by Dr. Greasy, veterinary surgeon of Amherst, Mass, in the presence of ex-Governor Hyde and T. S. Gold. cattle commissioners and president and secretary of the state board of agriculture, and several farmers and others. The pleura was diseased and adhered to the ribs, one lobe of the lung was hopelesslv diseased and enlarged, weighing twenty-five pounds; recovery was impossible. One of the others that had recent ly died was also examined and found to have been similarly diseased. The cattle commis- sioners have quarantined the whole herd, and the public may be assured that all possible means will be employed to prevent the spread of the malady. y.-Palzadium
