Resolutions of respect to the memory

of Brother o. Fisher:
WHEREAS. In the Divine order of life
and death il has happened that our
brother o. Fisher has been taken
from his field of duty and long
usefulness and has crossed over the
dark waters, and after life's fitful fever
sleeps well;" and
Whereas, 1t is highly proper that the
worth and virtue of the truly good and
that posterity should profit by the expert
ence and lessons taught in the lives and
character of such men, therefOrebe it
Resotced, That in the life of Bro. o.
Fisher, we recognize to its fullest force
and extent the nOblest of Christianly
character, running along down the steps
of more than half a century, and the in
tegrity and fidelity of his associations as Il
true and jealous Odd Fellow, who, as such
for nearly three score years. offered his
heart and hand for the relief of the dis
tressed, the education OF the orphan and
the practical illustrations of the other
cardinal principles of the Order, and who.
as sitting chaplain of this Lodge at the
time of his death, contributed in living
lustre to the sacred and high duties of
that office, and that in his death this
Lodge has lost, perhaps, the oldest, GER
tainly one of the worthiest, Odd Fellows
in the state.
Resoloed, That the Lodge be draped
and members wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days.
RssolCed, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Lodge,
and copy be furnished, under the seal
of the Lodge, to the afflicted widow OF
our worthy deceased brother, and that
we hereby tender our sympathy to his
family in this their dark hour; and furth-
er, that copies be furnished the Austin

Farmers, stock and livery men are in
formed that disease pronounced by ex-
perts to he genuine CHAMBERS. Mr.. p. c.
Taylor who has large number Of teams
about his quarries and lime works in
formed the reporter that gianders had APP
peared among his mules and that he had
been compelled TO shoot several Of them.
The stock of the street railroad company
has been suffering for some time and the
company will build new stables and pro-
cure fresh horses and harness hoping to
get rid of the disease. StOckmen and
farmers will do well to be very careful
and be prepared 10 treat the disease at
its first appearance. 1t seems to he pre-
vailing elsewhere IN the state and the
Fort Worth AJraRcs says:
We are told that no less than twelve or
fifteen horses and mules have died with
this disease within the past two weeks.
Mules die more rapidly than horses. yet
neither horse nor mule RECEIVERS after
once contracting the disease. Some of
the authorities have been impOrtuned to
take action in the matter, but
they claim they have no jurisdiction.
The majority of our livery men have
every dollar they possess invested in
stock, and il the disease continues spread
ing il will certainly break them up. The
street ear company have lost two mules,
and another is sick with the disease.
None of the stock attacked ever recover,
and those who should know the disease
pronounce it without a doubt CHAMBERS.
Now IL may not be generally known, but
Ii is nevertheless an unbeatable fact, that
q virulent form of CHAMBERS is commune
cable from beasts to man, and once COM
municated is considered fatal. Let all
these diseased horses be removed from
the city Immediately, and let every stable
and barn be thoroughly disinfected, and
let il be done Immediately too.

A sad Accident.

Monday evening, about O'Clock,

A large, handsome coach dog, the prop

creek, and followed Mr.. Graham some
distance. appeared uneasy from some
cause and soon turned back and went TO
his masters clothing. Mr.. Graham rode
on, but thought it somewhat singular that
the clothing would be hanging in the
tree with no one near. He turned and
rode back TO the spot and carefully eX-
amining the soundings came to the con-
clusion that Mr.. Kluge had been acci-

to the city and notified Marshal Creary,
who, in company with Officers sublett and

The Chandler.

The fact that CHAMBERS in its most ma
of the state, few items touching the
symptoms and peculiarities of the dis
ease will prove interesting. Writers
mention the existence of CHAMBERS in
horses fifteen hundred years ago. and it
was then, as-it is at the present time, an
incurable disease. and was so dreaded
that the British rulers passed stringent
laws against using animals afflicted with
il, just as the Texas Legislature has done,
but it is to be hoped that the old English
laws were more strictly enforced than
ours are. The first symptoms of CHAMBERS
that will be noticed by the ordinary OBJ
server, is a discharge from one or both
nOstrils. If from only one nostril
It will. i'm almost every instance,
be from the left. The discharge
is lighter in color and more transparent
than that produced by distemper or ca
tarrh, and is more sticky and runs con-
stantly, 1t is not offensive to the smell at
first, but after continuing certain peri
cd, according to the condition of the ami
nal, il becomes thicker, mixed with pus,
and very offensive. This discharge from
the nostril may continue in so slight de-
gree as to he scarcely perceptible for
many months before the constitution Of
the horse is attacked and begins to sink
under it, yet from the beginning of the
discharge the animal is capable of
communicating the disease to other
animals and to human beings. 1t is
believed that CHAMBERS can be commune
Gated only by the poisonous matter reach
ing the blood, either through a scratch or
sore, or by coming in contact with some
delicate membrane through which it can
be absorbed, or it may be communicated
by flies. The symptoms here given are
not all that attend the disease, but when
enough of these are observed to create
suspicion, the horse should be taken Mt
once to a competent veterinary surgeon,
and If he pronOuncesit CHAMBERS, not one
moment should be lost before destroying
the animal. This may seem harsh advice,
but when we reflect that the veterinary
world has pronounced the disease incura-
BILE and certain death to the subj ect, it is
criminal to keep an animal that is every
moment liable to communicate the
dreaded pest. With close observation
and prompt action on the part of horse
owners, and a vigorous prosecution of
wanton violation of the laws in relation
to the disease, its arrest and extinction
may be speedily accomplished in this VI
cinity.
