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.

Met*, a gellv .1 mixture comisung of ports of wheat bran and oat* and a large table-spoonful of soda; to be given twice a day. Keep salt in the trough. The horses should not be worked so as to heat them too hot, and they should be well cared for.— Alton* Bantu). 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.)
