DEATH OF VETERAN CONDUCTOR. A. Harvey Perrin, who died at Rockville on Tue1day of last week, was one of the old time stage owners and drivers who faith fully served the public before the advent of railroads. His long and reliable service easterly from Hartford to Vernon, Rock vile, Ellington and Stafford, and neigh boring localities, is pleasantly remembered by many old residents He became con- nected with the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill railroad about 1850, and for sev- eral years was the conductor of the 1m- portant train between Bristol and Hart ford. He became greatly esteemed and was widely known and dependent on ac- count of his courteous and prompt atten- tion to the patrons of the road He was selected for the most important train be. tween Hartford and Providence on open. ing the road through Tn 1855, and had charge of the express train on the first "trip over the road. During the early years of the roads experience he performed val uable service in making friends and pa l irons for the road. After time the long runs had injurious influences on his health which had been for some years affected bJ the exposure to weather during the staging period, and by several injuries which oc cured while expediting his train duties
 He then took charge of short run trains and served very acceptably, east and wes

Report of the Cattle Commission


WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The secretary
of the Treasury transmitted to the house
the report of the cattle commission,
consisting of James Law, Z. F. ThsYer
and J Fl. Sanders, for the past year
The commission recommend that the
national government prevent the ship
ment northWards, out of the area in
fected with Texas fever, all cattle, what.
soever, excepting from the beglnning OF
November to the beginning OF March.
Special attention Is invited by the as
sistant secretary to the recommends
ton OF the commission that the seere-
tarY of the treasury be empowered to or
der the slaughter and safe disposal of all
imported herds which may be found
infected on arrival In the United States
or may develop dangerous contagious
diseases during quarantine. That he be
also empowered 10 have all ruminants,
other than cattle, and all SWINE import
ed into the United States subjected to
inspection by veterinary surgeons,
and if necessary, To prevent the
spread of contagious disease, slaugh-
tered or submitted % quarantine until
they shall be considered unaffected, and
that an appropriation of 81 100000 be
made TO defray the expenses Of prevent
ing the further spread of the lung plague
among the cattle of this country
and stamping out the trouble now
existing.
A supplemental report to that OF the
majority of the commission, signed by
Law and Thayer, and of later date than
the first report is also submitted. This
report deals especially with inadequacy
to the end sought TO be accomplished OF
the inspection of cattle at ports for ex-
port, and recommends such an inspection
and guarantee TO be delayed. Their
reason for doubling the adequacy OF
inspection at ports for exports is neither
lung plaques nor Texas fever can be
certainly detected by such examination,
because those diseases pass through the
average stage of incubation in ihirtv
days, during which II is impossible for
even the most accomplished expert to
detecd the presence of germ in the sYs
TEN. The result would be that were
such an inspection the only thing to be
relied upon, cattle which have been ex-
posed to infection in stock yards several
days before inspection would pass that
inspection, but three months later, when
arrived at foreign ports, show marked
symptoms of disease. The result % de
stroy the efficacy of certificates Of In
spectlon as a guarantee to foreign i'm
ported cattle. The report closes with
the statement that so long as infected
districts in this country cannot be Sc
cluded, landing of infected cattle IN
England from this country cannot b<
prevented. and 30 long as American cat
tie show this disease on arrival in Eng.
land, we can hope for no modification lu
