American Veterinary College —its organization under the general law of 
the State of New York—clamors against the legality of the institution, and objec¬ 
tions to its power to issue diplomas—an opinion of the Attorney General of the 
State applied for and given, which will probably tend to secure a degree of com¬ 
parative future tranquility—the trial and decision in the case of the United States 
Medical College excites its jealous enemies—they dare not test its legal right to 
existence, but persevere in their attacks—the Alumni Association decide to test 
the case before a court of law—the trustees of the college, not satisfied with this,

had been led to recognize two diseases under one name—the failures in Ne¬

as the vaccine of one is not available for the other—experiments with the vaccine 
of rouget may introduce a serious disease in the United States—though not rouget, 
is it schweineseuche—it should be investigated, but a vaccine may be looked for. 
Ganglionar Leuoooythemia —an unusual case, the entire cutaneous lymphatic

Horses in New York City —useful statistics from Dr. S. Field—importance 
of the subject. Reports of Veterinary Societies— their transactions more 
interesting and more valuable to American veterinarians than to any others—the 
Review has always been ready to give their reports to the public — takes pleasure 
in receiving them—ought to be recognized as their accepted organ. The “Re¬ 
view” and United States Veterinary Medical Association Prizes —the first 
paper received—it treats of an important subject—the attention of the Committee 
on Prizes called to it—more candidates expected.

College was issued, a howl was at once started against that 
institution and its alleged illegal existence, though it had been
