RELATIVE TO THE CHAMBERS. -Many horse
men of experience declare that the recent re-
ports to the effect that there were numer-
Gus cases OF CHAMBERS among horses in this
county are incorrect. While there may
have been few cases found most of those
said to have been CHAMBERS were nothing
worse than colds The following descrip-
ton of the disease may be of benefit to
many readers of the RECoRD-UNIoN who
have been uncertain as to its symp-
toms If this disease always assumed
the same character, and every glandered
horse presented the three special symptoms
-greenish, sticky, and at times, bloody dis
charges at the nose the hard, painless and
adherent swollen glands at the Jaws, and
above all, the peculiar and characteristic
alterations of the mucous membrane upon
the cartilage of the cavities of the nose
there would be no difficulty in recognizing
1t. Unfortunately it assumes many forms.
Sometimes there are only slight glandular
engagements, at others, discharge from the
nose, while in a third animal neither of
these will exist, and only small ulcers will
be detected in the upper angle of the nos
tEils. The horse may appear in healthy
condition, with nothing apparently wrong
work without signs Of fatigue and vet
communicate the loathsome disease to all
even mankind, who may come in contact
with it. If the disease has assumed an
acute FORM the appetite will be impaired,
the pulse accelerated, general prostration,
staring coat, watery eyes, yellowish or pur-
pie streaks on the membrane Of the nose, a
discharge from the nasal chambers, varying
from Watery to a sticky mucous char
aCter. Little red elevations viii frequently
be observed on the mucous membrane of
the nose, which develop into ulcers of IL
regular form and color. The glands on the
inside of the jaw are enlarged, hard and
lumpy. Sometimes a cough is present. In
the latter stages the nasal discharge be
comes bloody, fmud, and so profuse as to
cause sutfocation. If the disease IS chronic
there is invariably liberation of the mucous
membrane of the nasal chamber, but the
ulcers are sometimes so high up as TO be
seen with difficulty. There viii also be
discharges from both nOstrils, which vary
from a thin watery to thick and bloody
nature, frequently very offensive. In the
chronic state there is no fever, and the ami
NAL appears to be in excellent health and
spirits.
A CoRRECTIoE.-In the remarks concern
ing the High School, published in the
RECORD UNION Yesterday morning. an error
was made by substituting University for
" High School, by which il was made to
read that Greek has not been for some
time and is not now taught in the Univer-
sity." The reader no doubt saw that High
School was intended instead of University.
The sentence stated a simple fact and should
have read 1t has been popularity sup
posed and repeatedly stated that the pres
ent High School conforms to the Univer--
sity requirements 50 as To fit pupils for
entry to either the scientific OF classical
courses at Berkeley, but an examination of
the curriculum Of the University shows
that this is an error, since the study of
Greek is prerequisite to entry III the clas-
steal course of the University, and Greek
has not been for some time and is not now
taught III the Sacramento High School"
DIDN'T LIKE Ir.-There came near being
a neighborh0od quarrel of a lively Charac-
ter in the lower part of the city yesterday.
a citizen who had been jubilatng during
the day felt that his appetite craved some
thing unusual for dinner, and he prepared
Welsh rarebit from Limburger cheese.
As the odor began circulating in the neigh
borhood, the people commenced eleyating
their noses and wondering what was the
matter As the smell increased their curl
osity was changed to anxiety and fear, and
each family sent out a committee TO ascer-
tain who had been stirring up decaylng
body Finally the place in which the
trouble originated was ascertalned; but the
bravest of the neighbors hesitated to enter
the door, for fear of finding something
dreadful When the facts were ascertained
the fat went forth that Limbuger in
sizzling condition would not be tolerated.

piled at the Station-hOu about noon yes
terday for an officer. Her grievance was
that few minutes previously she met a
woman on street, who became indignant
because the complainant looked at her and
showed her anger by slapping the young
Homan's face. As there were no officers
present, the party assaulted was advised to
call later and swear out a warrant, which
she expressed willingness to do.
