past year will make him better able than ever to meet the require

of the great secrets of his success,
however, is that Mrs. Laws is ex

The animal's throat swells to a very large size, so as to make it difficult if not impossible, to swallow any
thing. The swollen part rarely breaks, but emits matter freely when lanced. Several horses have died of the disease in that couuty, and it is spreading coulintially. It is slow in its effects, but quite fatal. John Throop who has been visitiug a sister in Illinois, during the past three months returned to Bloomington last week.
