At the College of Veterinary Surgeons no exact disgnosis of the new disenss has yet been made, It isadmitted to be_a complication of the old digease, arising principally from debilitation. The treatment adopted 18 administering tonics, vegetable and mineral, and, whero necessary, the application of a stimulant to the outside of th e body. Mr. Bergh ‘says that the most re- cent - complication of the epizaotic is but the result of the cruel manner in which the horsea were treated while sick, and utterl; unfit for work. . Tho publicwas misled in ragary. to the disesse, by judging of it from tha condi- tion of the horses in the streets. The London sportsman, in spesking of the horse influenzs, eays: ‘Roaring is a common effect of this mal* &dy in England.” Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, ‘WasEmxGToN, Nov. 14.—The horse dropsy, a3 asequel to tho epizootio, has made its ap- pearance here. This phaso of the epidemic, as it exhibits itself here, is merely the swelling of the head and legs of the anima’s, the body re- taining its usual size. In this connection, J. J. Woodward, Assistant Surgeon Goneral of the TUnited States Army, publishes a letter to-day, wherein he contradict the genoral accepted the- ory, that this epidemic is propagated in the air. In conclusion he says: I would state that within thelust fow days I have collected tho orgunic forma from a quantity of the air of natable in this city, in which thero were a number of the sick horses, and submitted them to tho higheat powers of the microscope, without finding ony which are not usually encountered when no epidemic is pre- vailing, and have also sujected the mucus discharged from the nostrils of several of the horses to the same examination, with like negative results.

NEw YorE, Nov.14.—Mr. Bergh says that the present condition of the horses is the natural Tesult of their cruel treatment during the re- cent sickness.

(dov. 3, Correspondence of the.

One of the men Who arrived at tho scene first endeavored to enter the building through the door on the first floor, but being unable Le procured & ladder and en- tered through o second-story window.

But for any husband to commit the mother of his children to the ruthless hands of the profession- 2] defamer, under whatever estrangement, un- der whatever suae{iaiun, would be an act equally criminal and crug The phrase just used touches the gravamen of the whole matter. .If Mrs. Woodhull andhersis- ter have any profession, it is this uphappy one of defamation.

To balence this lowest degree of human meanness, pretensions to superhuman power were assarted. With the unhappy history of the Woodhull & Claflin periodical, I have no wish to meddle in these columne. While all of us_have loathed the doctrines set forth in that print, and while its falsehoods have moved our earnest indigne~ tion, wo have thrown no stone, because the edi- tor thus offending against the laws of morality and of truth was a-woman, and we, as women, did not feel called upon to dencunce her, But, now that the audacity and_publicity of her of- fenses have reached their forced to say, © speech, or be forever silent! city guards reputations as jealonsly ss it guards lives. e spite, the greed, the folly of individuals sre not allowed to trifle at will with the name and fame which are dearer than life to those who think honorably.” Let, then, the prophetess of falsehood learn & lesson from the severe retribution which has overtaken her.

An Indulgent Father Shot by Hiis Dise sipated and Incorrigible Son—A Spu=- rious Wife in a Bespectable Family. From the New York Sun, Nov. 13, Mr. Alfred Tenneris an old and greatly re- ected citizen of Tappantown, New Jersey, on Phs Hocso:. Hoaso Geotea bes Bvays beén & dissipated young man, and_has caused serious trougle to his family. Mr. Tanner is very wealthy, and George hzs dravwn largely upon the family treasury in Hmes past. Of this the old gentleman did not complain, but he did insist upon his son’s behaving himself. The dissolute Dabits of the young man have been the cause of many & bitter quarrel between himself and his father. Each & hot temper, and the diffigul- ties between them have been numerous. Hith- erto the ladies of the family have stood between father and eon, and succeeded it preventing any se§ione %D‘n.saqnanges. i i il esterdsy morning, however, s quarrel be trreen fathar and 8o culminated in wbat will probably prove a terrible tragedy. TI'# circum- stances, 8o far as the Sun reporter cowd glean, ‘were these: M Some time sgo, Mr. Tanner, despairing of keeping his vicious son within bounds af h.me, procured employment for him in this city. He was engaged as a salesman in the hardware-8to.0 of Dolen & Bodeau, in Fourth street. The father at that time told George that this was to || e his lnst chance for reformation. either mend his ways or be disinherited. And so ' the young man, to whom the temptstions of Tappantown had proved so alluring, was sent to New York to learn morals. Ho was discharged (- from the store in less than amonth for his |* vicious conduct. He then went into the book | agency_ business. He continued to visit his |\ femily in_Tappantown, and usually sacceeded, through the influence of his sisters, in extract: ing money from his fother. © bout two months ago, George was accompa- nied, in one of his wisits home, by a young woman of grest besuty and accomplishments, He introduced her 88 his wife, and exhibited a certificate of marriage. When he returned to New York his wife remained with his father's family. She was introduced by his sisters into the best society, and fairly gained the affections of Mr. Tanner by her winning ways and lady-like accomplishments. It was hoped by the mem- bers of the family that George's wife would be the means 6f reconciling father and son, and sho ‘was warmly cherished by all. About & week ago, however, Mr. Tanner Ilearned that his son had not been married at all, ‘whereat, in a it of ungoyernablerage, and with- out waiting to consult Wwith George, he turned’ the beautiful woman out of doors. Thisfact was, however, kept secret by the family until Mon- day, when George returned to ‘Iappantown. Then, for the first time, he learned that his sup- posed wife was wandering homeless, & bitter q was the result, and the family were up very lato that night. Mr. Tanner upbraided his gon, and George protested londly that the lady waa his wife. “Everybody in the house went to bed in a most uncomfortable state. Yesterday momiugfim quarrel was renewed. In the altercation Mr. Tanner struck his son with & heavy piece of wood, knocking him down. George sprang up, drew his pistol, fired upon his father, and ran frowe the house. The ball penetrated just below the right mg‘ple, passing downward. 1t is thought that AT, Tan- Der cannot recover. George was caught by Constable Lawrence, who started totake him to Hackensack. At 9 o'clock last night, however, neither oficer nor prisoner had been geen at the jail, and it is ru- mored that young Tanner has eecaped from the Constable. ~When told of the serious rature of his wounds, Mr. Tanner begged tha: his son might not be prosecuted.
