Gloiicctiter Couniy. — Charles B. Leonard, of Paulsboro, has two farms, 

 upon one of which he has a herd of 22 animals, of which are suli'er- 

 ing- with the plague. He has 28 animals on the homestead form, only 

 1 of which has shown symptoms of the disease. Both herds are in 

 quarantine. 



Benjamin G. Lord, Woodbury, herd of 25 head. On June 13, 6 of 

 these animals were suffering with the x^^ague. October 27 there were 

 21 of these animals sick. On IsTorember 25 the same number were suf- 

 fering with the disease, and were all in quarantine. Of the first lot of 

 25 animals, 6 were attacked and 3 died. He then bought four or live 

 fresh animals. These remained in good health for five months and 

 twelve days, biit of the original animals 21 had suffered with the conta- 

 gion. 



Camden County. — An 0(;casional case of pleuro-pneumonia had been 

 found here, but no great amount of the disease had ever existed. A 

 most thorough system of inspection of cattle coming from Philadelphia 

 had been established here, and its rigid enforcement had undoubtedly 

 been of great service in preventing the importation and spread of the 

 contagion. From August 28 to December 15, 217 animals, known to 

 have been exposed to infection, were returned to Philadelphia. Forty- 

 one head of these were suffering with plain and unmistakable symptoms 

 of the malady.

D. Maioney, Eecklesstown. Lost 1 animal on January 26. 



William MuiTay, Jacksonville, herd of 14 head. There have been 

 4 acute cases in this herd, and 2 fmimals have died. Ho will probably

 have been 27 acute cases in this herd. Six animals were killed on Octo- 

 ber 2, and on the 15th of the same month the balance were slaughtered.

William Walton, Dutch Keck, herd of 32 head. On May 5, 1 acute 

 case appeared. On May 15 the animal was very siok, and, as other 

 (jases were developing, the herd was quarantined. The owner did not 

 believe his animals were affected with the plague, and failed to ob-

 order to prove the fact. The herd becoming seriously affected, Mr. 

 Walton sold, on October 29, all his animals to a butcher. This herd 

 was infected by a cow purchased in New York. She calved, and her
