Veterinary College by the enemies of early veterinary 
advancement in the city of medical colleges. Investigation 
will prove all I have asserted to be true. 
Please do not in the future charge corruption to the 
Veterinary colleges of Philadelphia, which closed their 
doors in honesty and good faith, and which are not respon¬ 
sible for the acts of private individuals. 
If I have done you, Brother Steel, any injustice, I beg 
pardon, and assure you it was unintentional. There was 
no M.D connected with the name of Robert McClure 
when he was connected with the Veterinary College of 
Philadelphia. The American Veterinary Review , I am con¬ 
vinced, has a larger circulation abroad than at home. 
Yours, very respectfully.

CATTLE PLAGUE. 
It appears that cattle plague still exists in the Govern¬ 
mental departments bordering on Austria and Germany, and 
those adjoining the Black and Baltic seas. 
The Mark Lane Express says, “ that according to a tele¬ 
gram, recently received, it has been officially announced that 
the cattle plague has broken out in St. Petersburg and on the 
shores of the Black Sea. In Bessarabia, Volhynia, and 
Podolia, as well as on the Baltic shores. The disease, so 
far as at present ascertained, is raging in forty-three separate 
districts, and has even made its appearance in the St. 
Petersburg Zoological Gardens, where it has already carried 
off some rare and valuable animals, including stags, wild 
goats, and a llama.” 
Cattle plague is also reported to exist at the present time 
in Roumania. The regulations of 1874 have been adopted, 
and the frontier is strictly guarded. 
An outbreak of cattle plague has lately been reported in 
the neighbourhood of Galatz. 
This disease still continues in some provinces of Lower 
Egypt, and has reappeared in two districts of Upper Egypt. 
The Kingdom of Hungary remains free.
