(For the Buffalo Evening Post.) This disease is acute catarrh or in fluenza, prevailing at this time as an epi demic. It consists of irritation, conges tion and inflamation of the tnucons lining? of all the air cells and passages of the head and throat. Everybody knows the symptoms. Little medicine should be given, as 'there is more danger, of giving too much than not enough. Iy careful nursing 99 out of 100 will get along very well without internal medicine. Take away their hay and oats; feed. warm bran mash and clean oats or rye straw moi3ten ed with grioe. We have triveo our horses (and we have six all sick with the d is temper") from six to eiiiht drachms of bromide of potassium two or three time a day, dissolved in a barn mash, for the first two or three days while the inflama tion lasts. This medicine is a powerful sedative, and as such lessons the flaw ol blood to the head and lungs. I have prescribed the bromide of pottassium for two years past to break up severe cold (which i3 acute catarrh") of myself, family and friends, and it never failed to cure the coll effectually io from 12 to 24 hours It ha3 worked well on my horses. After the nose begins to run freely, the danger is passed and by good care the horse wil soou be well. Externally I used and would recommend Dr. Trask's Magnetic Ointmeut to the throat, around the ear? and on the forehead. This ointment con tains tobacco and lobelia, and operates upon the mucous glands of the head and throat by cau9iDg increased flow of secre tion from, at the same time by its relax ing effect removing the stricture and giv ing almost iustant relief to the the couh aud breathing. Free ventilation, (but avoiding draughts of air) is very import ant ; good fresh air is very essetial, there fore burning tar or anything of the kind should be avoided. If the weather is not stormy, turn the horse out during the day. D. I.ANSOM, M. D. Here is somethiug for all surgeons to read and admire. It comes to us, like gold aud great pears, from California. In 1809, Luther Corey, in Santa Cruz County, had his arm broken in two places above the elbow. One of the fractures knitted and healed ; the other, owing to a splint of the bone being between the ends of the fracture, did not. After suf feriug great pain, Mr. Corey went to San Francisco, and the surgeons there opened the flesh ou his arm, aud cut the callous part from off the ends of the bones, pres sing the ends together and binding the arm ia splints. So they remained for eighteen months, but still the bones did not knit, aud the muscles of the arm be catne shriveled up and useless. Then Mr. Corey applied to Dr. Lane of Sao Ftaucisco, who forthwith performed the prettiest little job of surgical workman ship conceivable. lie opened the arm, sprung out the eud of the bones, and, cut ting off the callous parts, ha beveled the ends of the bone., so that each would lap a little over the other. He theu riveted them together with a silver wire, aud set the arm in a case. The bone then knit and healed, leaving the arm two inches tdiorter Mr. Corey now uses his arm at his work, and, with the limb useful again, is once mora a tip top eawyer. An easy way to gat rid of cockroaches is to sread sprigs of tansy, where they are troublesome, and they will leave. It is also effective ia driving away black ants.

Nov. 1811 P. M. A 6re broke out iu the midJIe of State street block, at the foot of State street, about ten o'clock to night, and it now looks as if the whole block would be destroyed. Boston, Nov. 18 11 15 P. M. The fire deDartmeots of Charlestuwn and has been called upon for assistance, but the are has been confined to one store, aaq is now under control. Only the north end of the block w ill probably l0 destroyed 11 40 P. M. Tho flro is now under complete control, ooDfl,ned to the store of Carter, Mauo s Co., grocers2 .Mo. 5U L.1 ...... I i ' Midnight. The fire ia State street block has been extinguished. The loss is estimated as from 100,000 to 5200, 000. Boston, Nov. 191 P. M. The fol lowing are the losses by the fire ia State street to night, as near as can be ascer tained : Carter, Mann & Co., Nos. 205 and 207, wholesale tea and coffees and spices, stock valued at about 35,000 ; partial and fully insured. Two uppor stories were occupied for storage purposes, where the flre is sup posed to have originated from crates o crockery stored there from the burned district. J. &. W. Bird occupied the three lower floors of so$. 209 aud 211 paints and oils. Loss not ascertained. D. Webster King & Co , manufactur ers, had just moved into the fourth story having been burned out at the great fire Loss, 1400 ; no insurance The Boston Deywood and Chemical Company, also burned out by the big fire, occupied the fifth floor with a new stock, which was badly damaged by water. No insurance Danford, Scudder & Co , wholesale grocers, occupied four floors of Nos. 201 aud 203, stock badly damaged by water ; fully insured, b. S. Pierce used the fifth .floor for the storage of coffee, which was badly damaged by smoke and water, in surcd. There was considerable excitement for some time, large crowds hastening to the scene, but the firemen and engines were promptly on hand and soon had every thing their own way. Lines of military and police were thrown across the streets to keep the crowd back. The World's Boston special reporting the tire in btate street block, says the preservation of the remaining twenty or thirty ware houses in the block was due to the fact that the roof of the building was practically fire proof and the store of Carter, Mann & Co., burned like a chuu ney, without igniting coutiguous stores . Fluid Food for Sick Horses. In many instances the throat of a horse is bo inflamed from some cause that it is exceedingly difficult for him to swallow food even in a liquid state. At such times there is another grave difficulty with horses that have never been accus tomed to liquid food, or to water that has flour mingled with it. In cases where the animal is possessed of an usual fasti dious taste, let the eyes be blindfolded so that the brute cannot see the liquid that is offered, lhen allow him to taste of water as the pail is held up to his nose and have another pail containing hay tea, which should be of the same temperature as the water. A horse can often be de ceived by this stratagem, and thus be in duced to drink a gallon or more of the liquid. In many instances, a horse can be in duced to swallow thick gruel when he will not drink hay tea, or tea of linseed meal. Wheat flour can sometimes be mingled with water so that a horse will swallow all that may be desirable for him to take. Tea made of linseed meal, or oil meal, or even cotton seed meal, may be employed to make an excellent liquid for a horse that cannot swallow food. Let a quart of the meal be put into a tin pail, with about two gallons or more of hot water, and let it be Stirred rapidly as the meal is put in. lhen allow the mass to stand for half an hour in the pail cov cred closely. Dilute with cold water, and hold up to to the. animals nose. If a horse ever refuses to drink the liquid, let Ins eye be blindfolded. If horses have been accustomed to eat linseed meal they will usually drink such liquid with avidity. When a horse is suffering from distem pef or sore throat from any cause, so that tho organs of deglutition arc so much inflamed as to incapacitate the beast from swallowing food, the strength may be maintained entirely by preparing liquid food. For a chaoge hay tea may be prepared quite strong and given iu lieu of water. When a horso refuses a certain kind of liquid food, let another be prepared. Beets, carrots, or other roots may be reduced to a pulp in extreme eased for animals that cannot masticate and Hwallow rough food. Let the rooty be boiled, and worked through a colaudcr, some wheat flour or oat meal be mingled with the mass, aud water added to rcn der it of a proper consistence for the ani mal to drink. A little fresh grass may also be cut fine with sheep shears and mingled with the drink. A horso that uever tasted liquid food, by judicious management may be induced to drink all the nourishment he may require. iVeic lurk limes.

Theer is hardly a term of Court iu Car- bou County, but what a score of anxious witnesses go about trying to una out where they can get their fees. Every of ficer of the Court is tackled in turn a? well as all the attorneys untill some one of them takes compassion on the witness es, and point them out the way to secure their "greenbacks. As a matter of gen eral information to pubblihh the follow ing which we trust every one will read WHEN THE COUNTY IS LIABLE 1. When a defendant is convicted by a jury and i3 legally discharged without having paid the costs. 2. When in cases of surety of the peace the court directs the couuty to pay the costs. 3. When the grand jury ignore a bill and direct the county to pay the costs, aud when the petit jury acquit the de fendant and direct the county to pay the costs. 4. In cases of felony, when the grand jury ignore the bill, and when the de fendants is acquitted by the petit jury.. 5.

Humboldt tells of the undo tun ale Utoiuaks and Jarures, oa the uauk of the Orinoco, among whom some poor nomadic tribes live upon auts, gum, and earth. It is a mild, f'atiy clay, probably full of infusoria, aud ausweriug the duubie purpose of seev ing as a kiud of qulias: tlsat weighs ou the ureat nerve of the stomach, and of sup plying a tumuli amount of actual food out of the large uia.s of o:ij;auic matter with which the riud of the earth is evcary where filled. Nor is this remarkable custom coriEncd to cannibal nations. The Tunguses, near Ochut.sk, and the natives of Kamtschatka, also, eat a variety of fine white clay, resembling butting ; while, ia the Eastern Ocean, the same earth is put upon leaves, and thus swallowed. la Samarang, iu Java, a well known earth, called tana, is sold iu the market, ia skill fully curled rolls, like those of cinnamoa.
