A Burlington correspondent OF the Phil

road, about two miles from this city, is the
Films farm, the residence OF William s..
Taylor. This gentleman takes much pride
in his herd Of jersey cattle. two or three OF
which have sickened and died OF a chronic
illness, which the local vetennaries have
pronounced to be consumption. Mr.. Tay-
lor, wishing to get all the light on the mat
ter possible, a few days ago had a
number of physicians and yeterina-
ries, including some members OF the
State Board Of Health. come to the Elms,
and, in the presence OF these, one OF
the affected cattle was killed and an
autopsy made OF her body, when an affec-
ton OF the animals lungs was found, the
naked-eye appearance OF which was very
suggestive OF tuberculosis. Specimens Of
the affection have been sent TO Philadelphia
for microscopic examination. and. should
the matter prove to be as supposed, it will
undoubtedly be case OF " bovine tu0er-
culosis," a disease mentioned by German
writers, which is very analogous to the con-
sumption OF the human family. an affection
resulting from close confinement and artifl-
cial living, etc.

New YORK CITY, June 7, 1884.
This week visited Chappaqua, the coun.
try residence OF Horace Greeley during his
life. The village has about two or three
hundred inhabitants, differs in no material
aspect from hundreds OF Virginia towns OF
the same size, and is about an hours ride
from New York, on the New York and
Harlem railroad. Mr.. Greeley's farm "
consists OF $50 acres OF hills and bog. As
YOU approach the entrance TO his place, on
your right is a fiat extent OF marshy mea-
dow, enclosed on the roadside by the REM
nants OF fence, which is fast vanishing,
and ditch which is rapidly tilling. This
il the place which the great experimenter
tried three times to drain, and, like the
horse whose master was teaching him to
live on stones, died Just rs he learned
how. II is now grown over with mixed
crop OF grass and clover. AT its further
side Is a wind-break, composed OF three
rows OF trees CT the fir and spruce species,
about fifteen feet apart, and one hundred
wards long. The ground beneath them Is
covered with shafts. as the i" tar-heel T"
calls them. This was planted to shelter
the grain which the Journalist farmer pro-
posed to plant on his drained marsh.
The road turns to the left Just at one
corner OF this piece OF land, and you enter
the grounds between the end OF hedge OF
arboryite and gatc-post from which
swings rickety gate. Onyour left, about
seyenty.fiye feet distant, Is an unpreten-
tious frame dwelling, two stories high,
facing the public road. and having porch Oh
