EI" ErIzooT AMONG IIoEsEs.-We
regret to learn that the d isease called
"Epizootic' is becoming quite prevalent
among the horses in this section of the
county and il becomes necessary for the
owners of the stock 10 be careful in
their treatment. An old veterinary sur
gcon of tie army sends the New York
Times the following simple and safe
cure for the epizooty, which would be
well for our farmers TO try
"Take one pound of gum asafrtida,
mix 1t with one gallon OF boiling water,
stir the mixture constantly until the as
afptida is dissolved, let the mixture
cool, strain and give ne-half pint every
three hours. This will relieve the horse
within twelve hours, and give him q
good appetite.

b" Fiscal TERM OF OUR COUNTY
CouEr.-The prospects for term OF
Co'ty Court next week seem rather dim.
The Charlestown Spiritsays that the law
providing for the submission of the
constitutional amendments 10 the peo-
pie, declares in one place that they
shall 90 into effect from their ratifica
ton, and in another that the officers
elected under them commissioners and
judges shall hold office from and after
the first day of January next. Whilst
there seems to be no doubt that the
amendments are ratified, no official no.
LITIGATION of such fact has been received,
and so the matter stands. The members
of the court, We presume, will meet
next Monday, but it seems TO be the
opinion Of the legal fraternity that they
caanot act, as heretofore.

enemies. On The other hand, New Jer'

Had New York and Brooklyn cities
not been demoralized by local dissen-

Now, we have only to add the New

enough TO elect. Why, then, be cast

Besides, when we see millions u
staunch Northerners voting the Solid
Democratic ticket it is sheer folly 10
think that the strength OF one party IS
derived solely from the South.
Real manhood calls for renewed e.

wide circle of her acquaintance in this
community were greatly panied to learn
on Saturday last, of the death of Mrs.
Penny, wife of II. II. Penny, Esq, one
of the firm of Sa,terlee & Co. The
death of Mrs. Penny occurred at the
Baldwin House, Hagerstown, Md, after
an illness of few days, at the time
above mentioned. During a residence
Of several months in Charlestown, she
had endeared herself to ali who knew
her by the exercise Of the amiable, gen
erous aud refined traits of character
which distinguished her intercourse
with her friends, by whom, although
she was comparative stranger in our
midst, her demise is sincerely and az
fectlonately mourned. Her remains, we
understand, were taken to New York,
where her family resides, for iuterment.
