Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

News from Marenge, France, say that on the 10th of December the plague appeared in that town, the same day 8 or 10 died, and 15 or 20 were taken sick. Since that time all the quarters of the town are infected, and there reigns very frightful disorder. This malady was communicated by a flock of sheep which were brought there for the service of the town. All those who drove the sheep are dead. If the contagion continues to rage there for a month the town will be wholly depopulated, there being not in all above 4000 inhabitants.
