PLEURo. PNEUMONIA AMONG CATTLE
The report of DIR. Charles p. Lyman, who
was sent to England last summer to con
tinue his investigation into cattle diseases,
more especially pleuro- pneumonia, refers
to the extent of territory in the United
States in which cattle are affected with
pleuro pneumonia, extending at the time
the investigations were made Tin February,

New York city, Brooklyn and parts of
Long Island, Jersey City and over IL
considerable portion of the state of New
Jersey, Philadelphia and some Of the more
souIheasterly counties of Pennsylvania, to
Baltimore and portions of the northeasterly
counties of Maryland The Investigations
proved clearly that the diseased animals
sent to England came directly in most
cases from the west, from sections far re-
moved from contaminated districts. Dir.
Lyman then went to Liverpool, where he
discovered and traced back IL number OF
cases of pleuro-pneumonia tn tHis country,
and upon investigation ascertained that
the ANIMALS undoubtedly came from the
western states over the lines Of rail north
Of any localities known to be contaminat.
| ed This, he says, means that we have
this dreaded cattle scourge established
among our western herds, that Chicago
Buffalo, ALBANY, Boston and Portland are
diseased centres, or else the disease is no

closes by recommending that congress
enact such measures as will restrict tn,
movement Of cattle ont from the infecte,
districts, so that in due time every case o
lung plague may be eradicated.

The mild, open weather of the past
week has been very favorable for wheat
sowing, and good progress has been made
towards overtaking arrears. The wet
CLAWS are now workable, and on drier soils
the land turns up we'll The young
wheats are looking exceedingly we'll, and
the later sowings are coming through the
ground with an abundance of plant. So
far, prospects for production in the current
cereal year are fairly good, both in Eng
land and on the continent Of Europe; but
there is an area not yet seeded, the dimen-
sions of which are not ascertainable, which
must form an important feature in all
estimates of the value Of present dates in
connection with prospects for the harvest.
There is now no question whatever MS to
the fact Of the worlds surplus of market
able breadstuffs being more than equal to
the comsumptfve requirements of England
for the year Of 1851, and the only thing
that keeps prices al their present level Is

the attention of anonymous writer's: We

old out of doors, and if true the letter
comes down on the young man in a most
deserving manner. But how do we know
the letter is not piece of malice and
imposition upon the publisher and the

occur 10 the writer that the editor also

While editors are not slow TO expose
wrong, they are usually very particular
to know who reports wrong, that they
may be protected against the falsehoods
of malice. Anonymous communications
are of no account in a printing Office.

In Germany the trade in breadstuffS has

There can be no question that England
has lost considerable prestige in foreign
affairs since the Berlin congress, and,
indeed, since Gladstone return t. power.
Its prestige may have been a sham one
under Beaconsfield, but in the eyes of the
world generally it passed for the reality,
and that goes a great way towards exert
ing direct influence on human affairs. 1t
cannot manage its own affairs. In Ire
land it has far more difficult and to it
important problem to solve than all the
eastern questions that were ever presented
"a problem that it has been trying to
solve for seven centuries, yet finds itselI
rather further from the soludph tbaR

Foreign cabinets can hardly beexpested
to stake very much on the continued ex
istence of the English ministry, conse-
quently the English voice in European
councils must necessarily be vague and
hesitating.
The situation in Ireland still remains q
grave one, and the gravity deepens. But
the people, on the whole, are working
their agitation in perfectly constitutional
spirit. and at the opening of parliamen,
they are likely to find much stronger
English support than it at present sus
