A Cure for Eplzooty.
The epizooty is prevailing in
this part of the State. We have
heard of five horses dying in Jack
son county, and three in Athens
and doubtless there are others we
liave not heard of. The remedy
below was given to the Brnner by
Mr. J. Z.Cooper, the well known
livery-stable man of Athens, who
has had an experience ot a third of
a century in the management of
horses.
The remedy is one of his
discovery. He experimented on
his own horses with various reme
dies, until he worked up this com¬
bination. After he concocted this
remedy, Mr. Cooper had two of his
horses desperately sick. Persons
who looked at them thought they
could not live. They lud chills
and then hot fever. Mr. Cooper
used this remedy and both are now
well. They both eat their regular
allowance of food ; but they have
not yet beeu worked. Mr. Murrell,
who lives a short distance from
Athens, »ent a horse U> Mr. Cooper
for treatment, and it is now cured.
We believe thatweare doing a favor
to the tiunHtr readers by pubiiaing

The horses should not be worked
so as to heat them too hot, and they
should be well cared for.— Alton*

Curio.sttiUK of a Missouri Cave.
About a year ago Mr, Strein
bought a tract of iand one mile east
of Westport, upon which was a
wonderful spring of cool, pure wa¬
ter, which came bubbling from an
immense cave which has been ex¬
plored 3,BOO feet from its mouth.
Moon after Mr. Strein secured the
property he bethought him of rais¬
ing brook trout, and Mr. Annin, a
well known fish-culturist of Roches¬
ter, caine to Kansas City to see if
Hie plan was a feasible one, Mr.
Annin explored the cave ; and after
making his way underground
about six hundred feet came to a
small cataract about three feet high*
over which the water fell. In about
four hundred yards another water¬
fall was reached, but at this point a
person has to crawl along, as the
walls of the cave are very low, the
ceiling being ragged and rough.
About a year ago, when an investi¬
gation of the cave was first made, a
lot of old I ndianarro .v-heads of Hint
were discovered near the mouth
of the first waterfall, and it is said
in olden times the Indians used
this cave ns a sepulchre for their
dead before they were sent to the
‘ happy hunting ground.” In sup¬
port of this theory it is known that
within thirty yards of the mouth of
the cave are the remains of an In¬
dian stone house, where not many
years since dwelt a half-breed and
his aged Squaw. They were very
reticent as to the use of tho cave,
but claimed tho water which came
from it had certain curative powers
which their “medicine men” had
discovered ages ago. TI 10 people
in the neighborhood have all heard
the stories, and the place has
about it much of interest. Mr.
Annin told Mr. Strein that in his
opinion the water in tho cave was
well adapted to raising fish, and on
his return from Rochester he sent
out three thousand eggs taken from
Caledonia creek, near his own home,
which have been hatched out »tic
cessfuUy.— Kama* City (Mo.)
