PLEURO-PNEUMONIA. 
Since the period when the Privy Council issued an order 
for the slaughter of all cattle from the United States landed 
in this country a very considerable amount of energy has 
been displayed in the different states, not only with a view 
to ascertain the prevalence of this disease, but also in the 
slaughter of large numbers of diseased animals and infected 
herds. 
Several outbreaks of a most extensive character have 
occurred. In the State of New York, up to the 1st of Oc¬ 
tober last, the number of infected stables in the City of New 
York was 67 out of a total of 1100, and the number of in¬ 
fected cattle 470. In New Jersey, out of 15,000 animals 
examined, 112 herds, containing 874 animals, were quar¬ 
antined, and 350 cases of actual pleuro-pueumonia were 
registered. Serious outbreaks of the disease have also been 
detected in the states of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. 
The action taken by the Netherlands Government still 
appears to keep this disease in check, as only five cases 
were reported to have occurred during the four weeks 
ending the 4th of October. 
SPLENIC FEVER AND SHEEP SCAB. 
The following diseases have lately been reported from 
Denmark, namely, splenic fever in cattle, splenetic ery¬ 
sipelas among swine, and scab in sheep. 
Carbuncular fever appears to be very prevalent in some of 
the provinces in Italy, the disease having been detected in 
twenty-five stables in the provinces of Reggio, Calabria, 
Potenza, and Caserta ; glanders also has been reported in 
the province of Potenza. 
An official notice has been issued by the Government of 
Oldenburg, enacting that, after the 11th of November, all 
cattle coming from Great Britain or America will be sub¬ 
jected to a veterinary surveillance for the term of four 
w r eeks, and after that can only be removed inland with a 
declaration of health by the veterinary inspector.
