Pieuro-Pneumonla.- We publish the follow.

refers O. people directly People should be
careful 10 the AsceriainneBt Of fact before setting
aaoat statement that l. liable 90 do an injury 20
any important interest. or small one either, for
that matter. Misrhiovous reports have long iegs.
As an outgrowth of the recent Baltimore county
Pieuro pneumonia sensation. We hnd the follow
ing announcemenin n the London Lirs Siock Jour
Haf and FaHcicrs' Gas.r. January 18Th
"Iases uf pienro. pneumonia have been reported
In the county of baltimore, In the United States.
and several eases of chronic pleuro- PneumoniA
have been detected in the dairy districts ofihe same
county"
. IL wuld take long time for correction of
such report a. ind it, way 90 the English pubic,
ever gets there at all, and the injury done by
the fsst report can never of course be fully
paired. From the same journal u appears that 10
lss2 the arrivals Of live cattle at Liverpool from
the United States AMI Canada were $4,000 beasts
less than in 1851. and the receipts of hogs fell %
over Is 0u0. noue were shipped during the last
half Of the year. The consignmsnts Of dead meat
also show large decrease there having been l20,-
600 quarters and also 1000 earcAses Of mutton
less than in 1881. In live sheep, however. there
was an increase of nearly 1900 over 1851, which
Offset the ioss in mutton and would indicate that
some of our shippers end Il TO their advantage to
send their sheep 10 the abattoirs on the other
side, Instead Of ,lAaghtefing here.
