Upon the strength of this supposed dratl he induced a guest of the ! iouo to ad vance $ ! ! 0 , saying that ho would have il cashed immediately upon the opening ol the banks on the next morning , i'hc draft was given as security , nnd on the next tr.orning the said Livingstone obtain permission of the draft with the avowed intention of cashing Iho snine , His movements wore rather slow in ( Mi direction nnd the gentlemen by whom the money had been advanced requested a sight of the paper , having only casuallj glaced at it before. Close examination revealed the fact tiiat it was simply n sight draft upon n country merchant named Slmms ami not negotiable. 'J he beat refused to put the draft in the bank for collection and retained possession ol it. Before any steps could be taken in thu matter Livingstone had worked someone for a $ J5 loan and fled thu town leaving his total bill unpaid nud the generous guest out of pocket just $30.

[ Correspond ence of thu BIE. : ] At the meeting of tlio Fine Stock Breeders' association , after the reading of Br. Billing's paper , the as sociation resolved itself into a committee of the whole for general discussion. Very favorable comment was made on Doctor Billing's views by the majority of those present. They were , however , consider ed somewhat impracticable in regard to the prevention and cure of hog cholera suggested. This disease beine most common and particularly fatal toNcbras- ka stock , received earnest discussion. Mr. Wolf and others were decidedly of the opinion that there was some underlying cause for this cholera not yet understood , and tliat the paper read did not throw suf ficient light on thu subject. Air. Wolfe argued that ic could not , or rather had not been , explained why two swine equally exposed , ono should die and the other should not bo sick , or why two herds not exposed nt all , tlio one should nave cholera and tlio other not. Dr. Billing claims that cholera will not break out in a herd without that herd having been exposed in some way. Tbe discussion liually turned to the bill now beloro the legislature in regard to _ establishing a school of veterinary surgery. This brought out some very plain talk. They all agreed that a government school should bo established and carried on by and under special legislation of tbe general government. That a school of the proportion contemplated by the bill is entirely inadequate to give competent training. Colonel Savage said ho would oppose bill the " " " " the until "sharks"and "shysters" of Lincoln were prevented from specula tion with the state farm. A resolution favoring the said bill wns voted down nearly unanimously. Mr. Walters , of David City , was to have read a paper before the association in fact had it all prepared and was about starling for Seward when his wife came into his room , and seeing papers lying about gathered them up and burned them , among which was the solon's paper. In this way the association wns short one valuable production.
