CORRECTION.—In the last issue of
your paper appeared an incorrect
statement in regard to the loss of cat-
tle met with by the undersigned. At
first when the cattle were taken -sick
two of the leading veterinary surgeons
of Huron were called; they, administer-
ed medicine, but of no avail and could
not name the disease or ascertain the
cause of it, but they thought that it
might possibly be caused from the
feeding of turnips among which were
a few that had been heated and might
have rffected the remaining roots in
the root -house which were supposed
to be sound, and from which the cat-
tle's daily allowance was taken. A
_sample of those turnips was forward-
ed to the Provincial Board of Health,
and the return was that the turnips
contained not the slightest evil effects.
Government Inspector Wilson, of
London, was also called, and after a
thorough examination, was also at a
loss to name the disease, or what it
originated from, for he declared the
food wholesome and that the stable
was welI ventilated. On account of so
many different stories in circulation
we publish this so that the readers of
this paper may know the correct facts
of the case. R. and T. Serawierie,Bity-
