RENE dies fOr bloody Murrain.

since We announced the prevalcn.o oi
this terrible disease among the cattle of this
town ne have heard of its ravages in other
sections of the County, and have received
the following rcmeiiss which, we are told,
bave in naoy instances, proved effectual in
curing animels affected and arresting the
spreado Of this disease:
Mr.. ]. w. Crawford, who has stock
farm near Jonesyjlle, informs us that he
lost COWS out Of herd of S5,two weeks
ago, from bloody Murrain. Mr.. John d.
bong, 1heagsss crswfords loss, went,
70 his farll9 sSGs ..d~js sistered. the fol-
lowing to tho diseased animals, which not
only cured them, but no others of the herd
has been affected since:
REMEDY.-As soon as an animal is dis
covered TO be sick with Murrain, drench
with II pints of weak lye from hickory or
ether sirong wood ashes, and give mesh of
strong hickery ashes mixed in bran or meal.
Repeat the drench every morning until
cnrsd.
Mr.. Crawford says he had other cows
affected, but cured them all with the above
treatment, nnd has seen no signs Of the
disease among his c,tt!e since.
| Our JoneSviEe correspondent a'so con-
tributes his experience, f,r the general
good:

Rnai6y.- Take a; -; ~ pint or pint and
half Of cold lard and stir sand into it as
long as it will we'll take it, and put it down
the sick animals throat Afterwards give
freely to drink, tea made Of poach tree
leaves. If necessary drench with the tea
once had fine heifer with very bad
attack Of the disease. l administered the
above remedy and she got well in short
time and made fine milch cow.
This is my experience, aud give it for
what IL is worth, with the sincere hope that
it may be equally effectualy in other cases.

Jerome Miller, who has had considerable
experience with cattle, gives the following;
but as it is a cimmon remedy given for collie
or hoven in cattle, we have no faith in it as
remedy for blooly murraiu, which is a
very different disease:
Bluestone, Coperss, SCOT aud salt, Put in
meal and given Little at q time, and often
Keep them away fr.m ~ wa'er
Fall in, Men! Fall In~
Having been fairly defeatcn, afier making
, q conscientious fight, in which we nei iher
said OF did anything that we would recall oil
feel tho least regret, We now fall into line
with the long Pre- cession of defeated demo
crats, including candidates for office, with
all the philosophy we cnn muster, and uc-
cept the inevitable with the same honesty Of
purpose that we opposed the nomination OF
the Til!mau faction Ct the party.
So for as we are concerned l. we shall dc
all in our power to heal all the breaches and
"close up" the ranks Of the democratic
party, and fight any enemy that may appear
in opposition to the reelection of Gov
Tillpsn and the other candidate, nominal &C
on the ticket with him.
Aud not oply that, we shall do oil in ou,
power to bold up and strengthen the hand
ofths government, in its eff 'rts to protect
-f.s Haasc;5a character and standing Of the
Stfte, enRln every way help to promote the
peace. harmony, unity end prosperity o
the peorle. We consider il to be The para.
mount duty Of every good citizen to lay
aside all personal political feelings aud
prejudices and unite in one common effort
to build up end not cautiously try to pull
down or injure the best interests of tn,
State, by creating unnecessary distrust and
thereby crippling the government.
