Judge Fuller and the two jury com

Foot-and-mouth disease is
fined to cattle nlone, but affects all am
mills that have a cloven hoof, such as
cows, hogs and sheep. Where the dis
ease is epidemic, however, dogs, cats
and pigeons are either condemned to
death or put under quarantine to keep
them from carrying the disease germs,
and thus spreading the plague. At
Lewisburgone poultry dealer who had
bought up a car load of turkeys for the
eastern markets was prohibited from
shipping them for fear of conveying the
disease to the cities. So far as known
human beings are not affected by this
disease.

Reetler & Coffin, a law firm of Eas
ton, having presented to the Commis
sioners of Monroe county their bill for
counsel fees in procuring.a State bridge
over Broadhead creek, it was refused pay
ment on the claim that it was exorbitant.
The attorneys then brought suit to re
cover, aud asked for a change of venue
on the ground that, they could- not secure
a fair and impartial trial in Monroe. The
case was then transferred to this county,
but this arrangement also proving un
satisfactory, it is now understood that
the contention will be settled out of
court.

The recent lire at Belmont, which
destroyed the large barn of J.T. O'Neill,
on the Meredith place, was doubtless an
incendiary one, and as a number of
bones were found in the ruins, directly
under the haymow, while no cattle were
kept in the building, it is surmised that
a tramp perished in the flames. It is
suggested that the hobo probably took
shelter in the barn for the night, and
accidentally set the hay on tire by a
spark from his pipe.
