A Sfranre Disease.

NEwcoMERsTowN, o., Feb. 25.-A very
singular and fatal disease has prevailed the
last few days among horses and cattle in the
vicinity Of Dudley and South Oliver, Noble
county. The disease seems to have been
one affecting the kidneys or spine, and the
animals take it very suddenly and die within
four hours after with intense suffering.
Nearly all the horses in one township have
persisted and the malady seems to be spread
ing. The cause Of the disease is not known,
but by some it is claimed it originated by
poison Of the sweat of blasted ears Of corn,
which is Of the nature Of ergot, and when
eaten produces such violent symptoms. The
loss reported so far is S1S, 900.

lative veto. The constitution put it in the
power of one-fifth of the members to veto the
will of the majority by calling the yeas and
nays. Since O'Clock it had been evident
that the vetoing minority was determined
that the river and harbor bill should not
pass, and the question had resolved itself
into one of endurance. When it came to a
question of physical endurance the jackasses
were superior TO the most intellectual states

that the vetoing minority proposes to defeat
