PLEURO-PNEUIIONIA. 



A corresponclent writes from Middlesex County, Virginia, that there 

 have been fifteen cases of pleuropneumonia, or lung plague, in that 

 county, recently, and all were fatal. 



HOG-CHOLERA. 



Moore Coimty, X. C. — There has been great mortality among hogs, in 

 some portions of this county, from what is popularly known as hog- 

 cholera. 



Lincoln County, N'. C. — Hog-cholera has prevailed to an alarming 

 extent ; at least 50 per cent, have died. For the past three or four weeks 

 have heard of no new cases, and hope it has abated. 



Glynn County, Ga. — Cholera has prevailed to a very great extent among 

 the hogs. In some parts of the county more than half have died. 1 

 have not had an opportunity to observe any case closely, but find that 

 nearly all the dead hogs were in good condition. 



Dooly County, Ga. — The cholera has prevailed to a considerable extent 

 among hogs in this county, and no remedy for a cure has yet been dis- 

 covered. We believe that it is contagious; and the best preventive I 

 have found is the free use of spirits of turpentine, mixed with tar and a 

 small quantity of camphor. It can be used either externally or inter- 

 nally. I prefer the latter, by soaking corn in it for ten or twelve hours. 

 I have never failed in arresting the disease. 



Ricldand Parish, La. — Hog-cholera in some localities. 



Stewart County, Tenn. — There has not been much hog-cholera, but a 

 few farmers have lost nearly all their pork-hogs. 



Monroe County, Tenn. — Hogs are greatly reduced in number hy cholera 

 and other diseases. We have as many, however, as we can fatten well. 



Laicrence County, Tenn. — Cholera is commencing among the hogs. 



Marion County, Ky. — Some hog cholera in different parts of the 

 county. 



Southampton, Ya. — Cholera and other diseases have been prevalent, 

 and the stock has suffered greatly.
