 The malady among the cow, men, toned in the Register last Thursday, by which they are rendered blind, is still raging near Lexington. There is a singular phase about the matter, which is that the cows which are affected by it have, in most instances, rcco cred their sight, while those which escaped it when 1t first made it's appearance are now victims to 1t. Gentlemen with whom repre- ;enta- tive of the Register talked concerning the matter described the symptoms of this disea e, or whatever it may be called. They stated that when COW was first attacked water began pour ing from its eyes; then slowly gath ering film began to cover them, through which the cows, for time, could see, but imperfectly, and finally they se- me stone blind. How the blindness disappeared they were unable to say, but that it did disappear they were ready to testify, having cows which had been affected by the complaint. No one knows to what to attribute it, unless it be species of weed growing above town on which the cows feed.

It is reported that John Grass has gone to the Cheyenne Agency on secret mission, but John will be disappointed in meeting the Commis 'ioners there next week, as vol as the Cheyenne Indians. The com mis sion will leave Standing Rock about the middle of the week and go to tho Crow Creek Agency, where a more friendly spirit pre- ails.
