TV The following letter is from a respect able physician in Nassau, whose skill arid experience entitles his opinions to be re ceived with deference. S. Southidick, Esq. Sir A disease called te cynanche ma ligna," or " burned tongue," has recently appeared in this section of the country, among our horses' and cattle, teis spread- mg rapidly in every direction. As the : particular symptoms of this complaint The hoof .distemper, among cattle, are very well described by Dr. E.

Nassau, Jan. 2 s', 1820. - From the same, Feb. 12. HIGHLY INTERESTING. The following communication, receiv ed since our last, is deeply interesting to our -agricultural readers in particular ; and we feel much obliged to our corres pondent for calling public attention to a subject of such importance. We think .the conclusion of our correspondent, that ERGOT may produce the same effect on brute animals, as it does on the human frame, a very rational one. In all events, we hope that attention may be excited. On this occasion, which the subject justly demands; arid we promise ourselves the satisfaction of being able in our next number to throw at least some faint rays of light upon it. For the Plough-'Boy. ' Mr. Southcick Much has lately been said and written on, the subject of the dis ease in horses and cattle called the "Burnt Tongue . A distemper has lately made its appearance among horses of a more alarming nature; it effects the hoof, and appears to be very nearly re- ; lated to the ailment in cattle called the ! 10,118 from ferrie?, 7,000 from street hoof distemper It attacks the horse manure, 7,200 from tavern licenses, 14, suddenly without his exhibiting any symp- ; 000 from excise licences, 10.000 from toms of' its approach, insomuch' that j ven?h.e sales. In .the expenditures are horses have been put up in the evening! included, 120,0001 for the alms bouse; in apparent good health,.& with the per- fect use of - their limbs, which on the next morning were unable to move out of the stable. ' In some cases an' eruption in the frog, and in others a separation of the hoof from the skin, is the first ap pearance; and as far as I have seen in many cases the injury is so great as to render the loss of the hoof oh the foot or feet affected, the probable consequence. This sir, is an alarming evil, and the man who will point out the cause, and conse- ouentlv lead to-the discovery of a pre-J ventive. will render a great benefit to the i community. J " "J ing their cattle, consists of what is well known by the name of " Spire Grass," ,or " June Grass ; that this grass has of late . years exhibited something among its -,' seed similar to the ergot in rye ; that they supposed it to possess the same pbi-t son'ous qualities known to exist in ergot, and that they blieve the hoof distemper to result from the use . of spire prass af- fected with ergot, or smut, as it is called, It is a well attested fact that the pea- santryof Europe wha use bread made of -.,, i..u:-u 'e.. their feet, hands, arms. through the means "o a sudden mortification of those Darts caused bv the noison in the erfrot . : . .; . r ---- i ----- 7- -- This is mentioned here to shew the possi bility of the same effects being produced in the extremities of horses and cattle from the-use of the ergot or smut in spire grass. If it it should be asked why have not the effects shown themelves.sooner in horses, it might be answered, that as the ergot of rye is known to be very poison ous in some seasons and in others nega tively so, the same may apply to ihe er got of spire grass ; and if th quality should be found to be very poisonous in the grass gathered last season, the unusual ,quantity which the hay fed the present winter contains, may account for its now first producing the bad effects ascribed to it, in horses. i ' j " I could wish, Mr. Editor, that . the. board ofl agriculture, through its proper officer, would recommend to scientific gen tlemen,: in different parts of the state, to examine the spire grass in their respective vicinities!, and ascertain whether it Con tained the substance above called ergot ; and if so, to ascertain further the nature of that substance,; and its probable effect on anim&ls fed on it. i A MOHAWK FAfllfiR. ' Palestine, Jan. &th, 1820. .. -. p,.: ; ' - Note-by the Editor. -Duhamel, an able Freneh writer on Agriculture, has noticed some extraodinary cases of the kind, in which the persons affected lost their feet ; .hut the disorder, if we recol- l lect, terminated with the loss or injury of the extremeties only.! It is however, some time since we read . the work, and have it not within reach at present. Goshen, Feb. 12. EXTRAORDIN ARY; OXKN. There is no doubt the best pair of ox en ever fattened in the United States, are now in the possession of Mr. Philip Fink in the town of Goshen. The beef of one of them is estimated at two) thousand pounds, which we believe is unparalled in this (and with one or two exceptions) in any other country. ; These noble beasts Were without ri vals at the last agricultural fair in this county, aud of course the elegant silver cup was awarded to their owner. Or ange county has done its "duty, and we hope that Mr. Fink ) will not be disap pointed in his expectation of obtaining a liberal price. Surely, New-York will furnish a patron to this most useful art. -, i s" tAn agriculturalist. -.

Int. x' . 1 r From Paulson's American Daily "Adv We hear bya private letter from Dub- I lin, that, as two young officers, a Captain j and a Lieutenant, were drinking a glass in a Tavern, a dispute arising about the superiority of their mistresses,; involved them in a quarrel, which," by the inter- ; position of a gentleman then present, was at that time allayed ; but, next morn j ing, me captain sec; xne icnicnanx a . Challange, who ihsiead of accepting it, returned the following answer : -. ",Sir- I reckon it my peculiar happi ness, that I can produce the officers and soldiers, who witnessed my behaviour at F , as evidences of my courage. You may endeavour, if you please, to propogate my refusing your Challenge, and brand me with cowardice; but? I am fully convinced, that nobody will believe me guilty, and every body will see that you are malicious. The cause in which we quarreled,, was a trifle the blood of a Soldier should be reserved for a nobler purpose. Love is blind resentment mean -and taste capticious; and it ought to be considered, that murder, though palliated by a false show of honor, is murder still, and calls for vengeance !" An instance this, of a nobleness of Nature, 'that challenges unlimited admiration.- . . . " ' . j The act which has passed the Farlia-' ment of England, for the suppression of libellous publications, takes in at a sweep all small papers whether pamphlets, weekly journals, trial reports, or of '.any description which will not afford a duty of about seven cents on eaclL. ' There are three ways in which it is to operate : In the first place, every printer musFgive security to the amount of 500. sterling for the purity of the matter he shall print ; then the publisher or jprinter, must pay the stamp duty t)f Ad. English, on each Copy ; and for the second offence he is to suffer banishment. Sir V. De Cres pigne gravely observed upoti the bill, jus as it was about tp be passed, that if the fipt)le Lord Castlereagh should happen to be cut off by 'the "hands of the law, the world would be deprived by the bill of his Lordship's dying speech rtnd cotifts sion. - .

EUSSIA. - Tiiat Russia is a great, and still in creasing empire, cannot be denied : its re- sources vast, its population fast increasing, ) I ti. tH' 1 i auu guverncu uy a wise ana pruaeni eni prror, it cannot j fail of being one of the principal nations in the world. There is one thing which ought to' command our most serious attention, and that is, the privilege of Russian traders, in carrying off the ' furs, which properly belong to us, and transporting them to China and other countries thereby monopolizing the wholejtrade and acquiring vast sums of money, which through neglect are lost to America ; and not onfy that, but giving encouragement to thousands who wish. to settle there ; they, of course, in some fu ture time, will prove, as their territories increase, great enemies to the U. States, and put a stop to our hopes of possessing that country. While Russian and British traders are suffered to trade and commit any depredation they think proper A mer icans, defenceless and not embodied in a company, are left to every band of traders and every merciless Indian a prey. The remedy would be to incorporate compa nies, and thus, secure to the nation an im mense revenue. Balt; Morn. Chron. LOSGITUDE, &C. Le Baroness De Paris Boisrovary, has arrived in England from Paris, charged with a commission to present to the Ad miralty Board a theory of the compass, which gives the longitude and latitude of the globe ; for the discov ery of which, the whole world has so long looked. The husband of this lady has submitted his theory to the Academy at Paris. His wife's mission to London was to prevent delay, as well as to have a trust-worthy agent.

WeTare concerned to state, that ano ther instance of this black crime occurred . in this ; county a few days ago.' The shocking affair,happened at one of those meetings which are frequently held at Country Stores? for trying Warrants be fore some neighboring Justice of the; Peace.

It appears that Fowler Was too strong for his antagonist, and lie became angry, and had recomser to stones, with which'he threatened to as sail Fowler; but the latter regardless of hiaT threats, made up to him, when Bod die drew out a large clasped Knife, 'the blade perhaps six inches long) and stab bed Fowler in the body with, it two er three times, so desperately, that he in stantly died I This is another fatal in stance of the dreadful consequences aris ing from frequenting Grog-shops J We heartily wish there were no such places in the Country, Boddie has made hi escape.
