CHARBoN.-A colored man living
IN the east side of town lost his only
two work oxen, by Charlton, on last
Sunday morning. As a precaut'on
against the disease spreading the AMI
malls were burned, but not sufficiently
to entirely consume the flesh. After
the fire had died out some hogs ate up
the unconsumed remains and few
hours after all of them died from the
effects of the diseased meat. 1t would
appear from this that cooking does not
destroy the virus in an animal effected
with charbon, and that if an animal
is butchered and eaten with the germs
of this disease in its system, it might
prove fatal to all who had unknow'ng-
ly eaten of such diseased flesh. There
fore our butchers should use extraor-
binary caution in inspecting animals
