PIeurO-PneumOn i'm Sussex.

mlllOTu
For several weeks COW owned by P II.
Davis of Prime Hook Neck, was sick from
unknown cause, and last week the animal
died, after wasting away. Every symptom
was that of pleuro-pneumonia. A cough
like unto that of person afflicted with
consumption and hot fever
ish condition, spoke palmer than
words the disease, but Mr.. Davis
did not know it, or report it to the au-
thorities, that he had an animal so af-
hicted. After her death, curiosity led
him to make an autopsy, when he found
the lungs revealed the true state of affairs.
The COW should have been killed, and the
danger of spreading pleuro- pneumonia
among the large herds of cattle owned in
the Neck averted. The cattle that were
exposed to this case should be closely
watched, and the very first symptoms re-
ported.

A DTsASTRoUs RUNAWAY.
Fright Causes the Death of a vaIu-
able Young Horse.


A spirited and valuable young colt,
owned by John Parker of No. 103 East
Second street and attached to light
buggy, ran away last night week.
The runaway was caused by the horse
becoming frightened at small bale of
straw which was in the carriage, and
which was jostled when the team was
turning into French street at the corner
of Second. A son of Mr.. Parker's was
driving the animal and safely guided il
until Fourth street WINS reached, when the
team ran into pile of dirt, the carriage
was upset, and the driver thrown
violently out, severely injuring one of his
knees. The skittish beast turned into
Fourth street and proceeded as far as
Walnut, when it ran against the building
on the southeast corner. The carriage
was badly damaged and the colt had
leg broken and was otherwise injured, so
severely that it had to be killed.
Mr.. Parker feels his loss very keenly,
from the fact that he had arranged to sell
the horse for $500.
He complains about the pile of dirt at
Fourth and French street says that at that
point there is barely enough room for
one team to pass at a time, and is conf
dent that if it had not been for that pile
of dirt, his son could have guided the
animal until it recovered from its fright,
