SHEEP-POX. 
France, the malady is reported to have shown itself at Limours* 
about twenty miles south of Versailles. 
Recent reports from eastern Europe also show that fresh 
outbreaks of the disease have taken place in Poland and 
Galicia, and that Transylvania still suffers from a continu- 
ance of the plague in the comitat of Hunyad. 
PLEURO- PNEUMONIA. 
We have nothing very different to report respecting pleuro- 
pneumonia this month from last. The disease exists in thirty- 
five counties of Great Britain, and the centres of the in- 
fection number eighty-seven. One rather serious outbreak 
in Dorsetshire was traced to the purchase of some Irish 
beasts at Bristol market. The malady still prevails in the 
London dairies and in the environs of the metropolis. 
With the exception of one animal imported at Thames- 
Haven from Rotterdam, no diseased cattle have been detected 
at any of the ports. 
MOUTH AND FOOT DISEASE. 
The fluctuations in this disease continue in a somewhat 
remarkable manner, fresh outbreaks taking place in districts 
which were thought to have been effectually cleared of the 
malady, and a great increase of attacks occurring in some 
localities which have long suffered from the affection. Dis- 
eased pigs have been sent here from the Continent, and 
chiefly from Belgium. In each instance the animals have 
been killed at the landing place. 
We observe from the local papers that more energy is being 
displayed on the part of the authorities in the proper carrying 
out of the regulations for the suppression of the disease. 
SHEEP-POX. 
The accounts which have reached us from the Continent 
relative to sheep-pox are to the effect that the malady is still 
existing in the north of Europe, and that in the consular 
districts of Stettin and Koslin, in Pomerania, it is on the 
increase. 
The greatest vigilance against the introduction of the 
disease is being exercised by the customs inspectors at the 
several ports, besides which it is satisfactory to know that 
all sheep coming from ports of the North German Confedera- 
tion have to be killed at the place of landing. We may thus 
hope that our flocks will still be preserved from this fatal 
and loathsome malady.
