The Liverpool Sun says: Mr..
James Wilmer, of Pfoutzs Valley,
informed Is that he lost three head
of horses-two valuable work horses
and a colt from q peculiar disease.
The horses first begin to swell at the
neck, and next they swell up in Jumps
also at other places which suppurate
and discharge matter. Finally the
lungs are attacked and they waste
away and the animal expectorates
matter sinily to human being dy-
ing of quick consumption The hor-
ses that died were sick SIX weeks, but
the colt not SO long. All of MIR.
Winners horses had the disease, but
the others were saved by timely at
tendance and proper remedies.
Those that died were gone too far
before he knew it was anything SER
ious, being the first attack. The
disease, it seems is contagious, and
fatal if not attended to in time.
The Democrat and Register of
last week says, on Tuesday morning
Captain Mcclellan made a ire IN
the cook stove, alter which he went
to his shop. While absent his wife
went to the stove to get some chips,
which had been in the oven over
night to dry. When she opened the
stove door, she discovered snake
among the chips and shut the door,
again. After the captain returned
she informed him what was in the
stove. He went to the stove, open
ed the door, and took therefrom a
roasted black snake 81 feet long.
The stove stood In an out kitchen,
and the snake, no doubt during the
heavy rain on Monday night crawl
ed into the stove for shelter.
