anime the disease which has recently
proved so fatal among their herds. Mr..

to pleuro pneumonia. that some cattle
in apparent good health would drop
dead while chewing their cud, The
strange fatality has almost disappeared,
there having been but one new case in
the last IL or 20 days. He is also of
the opinion that the disease is not con.
tagious, for lot Of the infected cattle
driven TO the mountains among other
cattle, did not impart the sickness in
single instance. As caution against
any possibility Of spreading the disor.

A Valuable Carpet.

A preciou, carpet has been destroyed
in San Francisco. Il has covered the
floor OF one of the rooms Of the Mint,
and has been used for five years. The
dust OF the precious metals used in the
coinage and during that period had dai .
ly fallen upon 1t, and when 1t was tax, IL
up the authorities had II cut in small
pieces and burned in pans. The ashe,
were subjected TO the process employed
with mining dust, and they realized
$4,000. Thus the carpet, after years Of
wear, was more precious than it was
when new.
