At one of the voting places in the 18th dis

said 9 o'clock was the hour, prevailed, and the
voting did not commence in that precinct until
one hour after the time prescribed BY law. That
judge should be furnished hereafter with large
sized copy of the law and also with leather
medal as badge of stupidity.

A Strange Cattle Disease.-A few days
ago the fine Jersey cow "Prncess," belonging to
Col. E. II. Webster's herd, was killed. The cow
had been suffering from disease called "hoven,"
and as there was no possibility of her getting
WELL she was put out of her misery. A post
norton upon the body demonstrated unmistaka-
bly, the presence Of the strange disease. She had
been surgcally treated for abnormal distension of
the stomach, such is incident to the eating
of green food. The post-mortem showed that the
inner lining of the stomach was completely dried
out. There was an entire absence of gastric
juices, and there were large masses of hay or
other dry food in the stomach.
A well-informed correspondent sends US the fol-
lowing upon the above subject:
Editors Union "A case of "hoven," reported
in the papers, with valuable Jersey belonging
to COL Edwin H. Webster, and which terminated
fatally after the swelling of the stomach had been
relieved several times by puncturing will doubt
cause general attention. 1 had lately similar
case with Jersey heifer, which was effectually
relieved by simple remedy. The heifer was
found in the morning swollen and in much pain,
when drench of pint of lnseed oil was given,
which soon caused active action of the bowels and
by night full relief. This remedy is no doubt
available for a cure in the early stage Of the
disease only and it is therefore necessary to give
the drench with as little delay as possible after
the swelling becomes apparent. The remedy, if
not effective in all cases Of the kind, is harmless.
