MISCELLANEA. 
A HORSE FRIGHTENED TO DEATH. 
On Thursday morning, as a wagon laden with coals, drawn 
by three horses, was waiting for passage at the Bobber’s Mill 
Gate, whilst the great up-train of coal waggons to Mansfield 
passed by, the middle horse of the team became so much alarmed, 
though without displaying any extraordinary violence of man- 
ner, that before the whole train, which consisted of upwards of 
thirty carriages, had passed by, he dropped down and instantly 
expired. — Notts. Mercury. 
DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM GLANDERS. 
A SHOCKING case of death from glanders has occurred in Car- 
lingford. The victim was a remarkably fine, healthy woman, 
named Ann Mackerel, wife of the postman who carries the mail 
between that town and Newry. How she caught the disease 
has not been clearly ascertained ; but it is supposed that it was 
by handling either the horse-cloth or bucket. She lingered up- 
wards of fourteen days, enduring great agony. She was at- 
tended by Dr. Massy, who paid the utmost attention to her ; but, 
notwithstanding that he did all that human skill could do, she 
expired on last Friday. Before her death, she was greatly 
swelled, particularly her feet ; and from head to foot she was 
covered with tumours. The horse from which the disease was 
communicated died before her. This is another instance of the 
great care that ought to be observed when a horse has got this 
dreadful disease . — Newry Telegraph. 
PRODUCE OF COWS. 
I HAVE a cow, five years old, of the Sussex and Devonshire 
breed, that with a small quantity of hay, and about six gallons 
of mangold wurzel daily, with the run of one and-a-half acre of 
meadow (a large portion of which, owing to the late rains, has 
been of little use) has for these five weeks produced twelve 
pounds of butter of superior quality weekly. — R. Newman , 
Stedham Hall, Midhurst, Sussex, May 10.
