A Strange Disease Among Horses.

MONMOUTH, ILL.,, Ian. 1.-Two weeks
ago a strange disease made its appearance
among the horses of this section. 1t has
now assumed the proportions Of an cpl
demic, and thus far 1t has bafied the most
experienced skill. Great anxiety prevails,
as several valuable animals have died.
The symptoms are closely allied to the
human epidemic, la grippe. The animals
lose their appetite, become weak, and the
limbs, particularly the loins, become seri-
ously affected. The disease runs its course
in three or four days.
