LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
GLAHDERED HoRsEs.-For some weeks
past the subject of glandered horses has
been one of general discussion among all
who own equines. Drs. Goster and Nc
Collum, two local veterinary surgeons. have
examined many horses, which they have
declared 10 be affected by that incurable
disease Others of the same profession
have diagnosed the cases, declaring that it
was species of epizootv, that could be
cured, and have advertised that they could
cure al animals so afflicted With this
conflict Of opinion, the officers have been
unable - act, and horses declared 10 be so
diseased have been spared John Mackey,
superintendent of the Norris Grant, and
who has IN charge hundreds of very valu-
able animals, wishing TO satisfy himself on
the subject, at an expense of $50, brought
rom San Francisco yesterday DR.. \. De
Iayel, veterinary surgeon, Il graduate of
Alfort's National College, Paris, who, it is
SAID. has q reputation in his profession
second to none in America. The doctor,
Immediately after his arrival, was taken to
the stable III the rear of the Pacific Hotel,
where = diseased animal was inspected
IT to ne q well-detined case of CHAMBERS
He next was directed to Fifth and
| streets, where was tied up to an awning
post beautiful pair of blacks, driven in
from NoiO by Il Chinaman. One OF the
horses vas running badly ut the nose. and
after I'm inspection the doctor said it was a
case OF CHAMBERS. To Il reporter, who was
present. he said there We're three symptoms
of the disease; first, swelling glands
second -unning at the nose; third. ulcera-
lions. The first two are not always proof
but the latter is proof positive. 1t is 4 dis
ease, he said, that could not be cured but
by CERTAIN washes it might be dried up to a
certain extent; but the danger of contagion
was nor IN the least diminished by that pro
cess. He said CHAMBERS among horses had
existed n the State. for upwards of
twenty years, but during the
past several months had become in
some localities an epidemic. He
said, toar or five years ago the horses
and mules at the Government barracks at
Benci4 became badly affected. He was
called upon to examine them, and found
that all we're affected. An order was given
10 kill al the animals burn the saddles,
harness and barracks, and abandon the
premises fo- one year. This was done and
the dread disease for time was checked
Holsters and Others handling animals who
had this disease often contracted the same,
and in every ease suffered a horrible death.
His advice was that an animal in which
the disease was found TO be fully developed
should be immediately killed. and those
upon which the slightest symptoms were
observed should be removed to quarters
separate from other animals. 1t is stated
that many of the horses in GOlO and So
iano counties are affected with this disease,
and Nj Mackey intends asking the Board
of Supervisors 10 place a competent inSpec-
tor on the Nolo bridge whose duty it will
be to al Ow no infected horses to enter the
