PLEUROPNEUMONIA. 
Odell, on whose farm this cow died, was no doubt infected by the 
same animal. His herd consisted of some valuable Jerseys, 
among which the plague appeared on August 28. We killed 
three of his animals, and they all showed well marked lesions of 
the disease. 
On February 20 we visited Mr. Tice, of Newtown, which is a 
suburb of Brooklyn, L. I. This herd was infected about the 
middle of October. Eight of his animals died, and he had con¬ 
tinued to fill their places with fresh animals. We found twelve 
of his animals suffering with the plague. Two cows were killed 
—one an acute and the other an older case—and both showed 
well marked traces of the disease. His herd was infected by a 
cow sent him about the 20th of September. 
A Mr. Grady, whose stables are in Blissville, a portion of the 
suburbs of Brooklyn, had lost eleven head of cows out of a herd 
of fourteen since the middle of September. 
PENNSYLVANIA. 
I arrived in Philadelphia on February 24, and during the 
evening visited and had a conversation with Dr. J. W. Gadsden, 
relative to the prevalence of the plague in Pennsylvania. Dr. 
Gadsden showed me a private telegram giving him the informa¬ 
tion that the British Government contemplates raising the em¬ 
bargo on cattle transported from the Western and Southwestern 
States through Canada, and shipped to Great Britain from ports 
of the Dominion Government. On the morning of February 25, 
in company with Dr. Francis Bridge, I visited the farm of Mr. J. 
F. Taylor, located near the town of Marple, Delaware County, 
Pa. We found this gentleman’s herd suffering with the disease. 
Having selected and paid for four acute cases, the animals were 
slaughtered and examined. The post-mortem examination re¬ 
vealed all the lesions of the disease in its acute stage. This herd 
was infected by a cow purchased by Mr. Taylor in the Philadel¬ 
phia stock yard. She was in very good condition, and when she 
arrived on the farm seemed very tired. Next morning she re¬ 
fused to eat and seemed sick. She died a few days thereafter 
with ail the symptoms exhibited by those that have since died of
