A Heavy Failure in Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, April 22.-The Louis
Cook Manufacturing Co., one of the
largest manufacturers of carriages and
buggies in the West, made an assignment
to-day to ex.Mayor Thomas j. Stephens,
with preferences amounting to $92, 900.
The attorney for the company says the
assets will reach $297,000 at their face
value, and the liabilities in round num-
bers are 100000. The cause of the
failure, he says, is the failure of country
customers to pay up promptly, and the
action of certain creditors who brought
suits in attachment this morning, alleg-
ing that the company was about to assign.

A Sure Preventive.

The disease known AS black-leg
attacked the the young cattle on the
rnnch Of Scott & Go Mt Hnlleck, several
weeks ago, and they began dying OF a;
the rate Of about one Il day; the animals
dropping off very quickly after exhibit.
ing the first symptoms of the disease.
Nliit Polk, who has charge OF the ranch
ina. ediately took steps for preventing
the further spread Of the malady by the
adoption of the following remedy:
Equal parts of sulphur, sa.tpeter,
garlic, assHfptida and lard. beaten
up together and made into n paste,
which being made into balls about the
size Of n large buck.shot, one was intro.
duccd in the side Of the neck of each
animal by making n small opening in
the hide and lonscning it downward
from the incision, thus forming n small
pocket into which the ball Of paste was
thrust.
The animals were then turned loose
upon the same ground from which they
had been gathered and treated in every
respect ms tcey had been before. II ia now
ever two weeks since the treatment, and
not n single case Of the disease has de-
vclopcd. The test a thorough and
certainly seems to have been a perfect
success.

nor RrpuJ!icnnism appear to have cut
