Remedies. A Circat Panic. New York, October 24. —1 t is rumor ed that Bonner's Pocahontas has the mal ady. One hundred and fifty street cars, and fifty stages have been taken off the lines. Blood letting and drenches have been found to be failures, and many horses have died from this treatment. Among the various remedies used are a solution, of tar, belladonna and acconite given ho mopathically, and 'faylor’s compound food, and product of the Manhattan Feed Mill Company. This last mentioned is the only remedy which have been attend ed with marked success as a prevenitative and a cure. Later. —Various reports of the horse dis ease are received up to this afternoon, but it is generally conceded that no mor tality yet accompanies it. The papers discuss various modes of treatment —some being successful with lobelia, others with tar, and one person gave testimony of a French treatment by plienic acid injections into the veins. A great number of horses continue to be seen in the streets shows signs of being under the influence of the disease. Later— It is estimated that 35 per cent of the horses in the city have the malady in various stages. Eight thousand to ten thousand horses are sick. Alarming stories are afloat that human beings are subject to infection, but so far no authenticated case has come to light. There are many cases of the malady in Hoboken, Jersey City and vicinity. Later. —Business, manufactures and industry are partly paralized in this city and Brooklyn In consequence of the sud den deprival of the use of large numbers of horses. In Brooklyn it is said the horse cars stop running to-morrow. The damp weather last night and to-day undoubtedly aggravated the epidemic and three-fourths of the horses in this city are affected. The disease has made most alarming progress among the railroad, stage and livery stable horses, and, while those are suffering at the rate of seventy-five per cent, private coach and truck horses, which are better eared for and not so hard worked, only suffer at the rate of 45 per cent. The Broadway and Seventy-third street stage company suspended trips to-day, over half of its 475 horses being sick. Dispatches from Boston report the dis ease is spreading over New England. Thousands of horses are sick in that city and neighborhoods. One line of omni buses has stopped running. Newburo, N. Y., October 24. —The horse malady has appeared here, and there have been three deaths. New Y'ork and Brooklyn gentlemen have sent communi cations to the agents of the New York As sociated Press, stating that a sub-cutaneous injection of Phcnix acid is a rapid cure for the horse disease. The auantity to be administered is small liocHESTER, October 24.—There was a heavy frost here last night, but the horse disease is severer than ever. None are seen on the streets. Handbarrows, cars and porters are delivering all goods. The disease has broken out among the canal horses along the lino of the Erie, and there Is great difficulty in procuring conveyan ces for funerals Chicago, October 24.—The horse mal ady has appeared here. There are fifty cases in the South Side Kailroad Cos. sta bles. Philadelphia, October 24.—The horse owners here are excited, but not a single case is yet reported. THE WHEAT CROP. Washington, October 24.—The agri cultural report says returns have been re ceived from counties representing a large proportion of wheat of each State, which indicate an increase of about five per cent, over the product of last year, which was estimated at 230,000 bushels. It is probable that a complete estimate will not fall short of 240,000,000 bushels, upon an area of little less thau 20,00(1,000 acres. There was a yield between 12 and 13 bushels per acre, which may be considered an average yield for the United States. The increase of States west of Mississippi appears to be about 15,000,000 bushels. The monthly wheat report of the Agri cultural Bureau, states the percentage of product in comparison with last year in each of the States as follows : Maryland 00; Virginia 101 ; North Carolina 130; South Carolina 1 (13 ; Georgia 180; Ala bama 133 ; Mississippi 101 ; Texas 320 ; Arkansas 102 ; Tennessee 200 ; West Virginia 104; Kentucky 175. Consul Ben Butler. New York, October 24. —A. D. Strol logo, late private secretary to Consul But ler iu Egypt, makes a long affidavit de tailing the proceedings of Butler, which latter made some SBO,OOO in gold by a system of blackmailing and other repre hensible ways. Strollogo states that But ler was drunk nearly all the time, and was in frequent street raws and fights and was under a subsidy of some two thousand pounds sterling per year from tlie Khedive. Tlie Tobacco Tax. The tobacco manufacturers and dealers have resolved to favor no candidate for Congress who will not pledge himself to contend for a modification of the present oppressive taxation of their interests. French lews. Paris, October 24.—Kossell, who was a prominent communist has been found guilty by a court-martial of the charges against him, and sentenced to death. Theopile Gautier, a French poet, novel ist and critic, died yesterday. The evacuation of the Departments of Marne and Upper Marne, by German troops is completed. Wealth For Ireland. Ccal in Ireland ! The report seems al most too good to be true, yet is made oir cumstancially, and on what seems to be sufficient authority. An immense coal bed has, it is said, been discovered two miles from Waterford. The seam is de' dared to run ten feet thick, and it lies so near to the river Suir that the carriage of the mineral will be a matter of ease. This search for coal beds has raised so many false hopes, and the signs of the deposit are so often treacherous, that we wait for further information before crediting the glowing tale of black-diamond digiugs in Erin. And yet, according to Mr. Ed ward Hall, of the geological survey office, Dublin, there is scant room for doubt, since he estimates the quantity of coal in Ireland available for use at 182,290,000 tons, and nearly half the quantity lies in Queen’s county, Kilkenny, and Carlow district. Alluding to this precious discovery, the London Telegraph says : “The matter af fects England as much as the sister island, for we Saxons shall be right glad to re venge the wrongs of Ireland by perclias ing as much ‘best Waterford’ as she will sell as a reasonable price. In England the prospect for the winter is made dark indeed by coal famine, strikes for wages, and enormous prices all round. When the Inought or the suffering poor comes to mind, we wait eagerly for confirmation of this report from the Suir. But it is to Ire land herself that the news brings the most glowing promise. Let her find herself a dozen coal-beds, and her political griev ances will vanish. Mr. lluft would be rendered powerless by an army of pitmen. The wealth of coal-fields would kill dis loyalty, and English statesmen will fer vently pray that Waterford may become another Newcastle.” The man who advertises shows not only a business talent above his neighbors, but he may at once be reckoned among the in dependent, generous and public spirited of the community. lie who hides his light under a bushel when such advantages us those at present afforded are so freely offered him does not deserve success. THE I’KlUlini WEEKLY. IT is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; It is also conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that newspapers are the best medium for reaching all parties whose trade is desired. THE MONROE ADVERTISER reaches more' of the people trading with Ma con than any other journal published in the country; it is, therefore, the best medium of communication with the planting interests. We will be happy at any lime to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in The Advertiser. In fact, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its value exceeds that of all other journals in which they are represented. The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS. No advertisements are admitted which are not believed to be above question and of real value, and from parties so unquestionably re liable that the readers of The Advertiser will he safe in ordering them from any distance.
