be returned, as the agreement. stated, both the money
and the man became " scarce" immediately afterward'. 13

sure would be brought forward.

scription, the principal and most unique in the whole col-
brown being • matchless parer., consisting of a diadem,
necklace, Mooch, earrings, and bracelets, composed s,
of rabies and diamonds of the finest quality —the S
rubies specimen stones—set in pure classical style '
and meet elegant in form, being at the same time en- 8
tirely • work of art in diamond setting. The value was 8
nearly 10,000/. There were also a pair of very fine sapphire

THE CATTLE DISEASE.—At Wattialield and Rick-
inghall the cattle disease is still lurking. On the farm of
Mr. Sheldreke, of Rickinghall, two or three cows have
succumbed to it the last week or ten days. It is to be
hoped, however, that as there are no other fresh cases, the
disease is nearly spent in this neighbourhood. Up to the
present time the total loss in this neighbourhood appears
to be 102 head of neat stock. Mr. Puny attended the
!swarth Bench yesterday to make his report, and from it
it appeared that all the six cases remaining over from
last week hail ended fatally. Ho had to report
twenty fresh cases for the week ending the 18th of No-
vember • seven beasts out of those twenty had died, and
thirteen'remained. —Bury and Norwich Post. The disease
hes broken out on several farms in the neighbourhood of
Dumfries, sic—Barnkin, Bush o'Craigs, Kirkblane, and
Ilightowu, and has re-appeared at Old Mills. Several
animals are dead and numerous others affected.
The cattle plague continues to spread with alarming rapid-
ity in the city of Perth, and at oreoent the disease prevails
in nine different byres. Since Friday five dairy cows have
died. The disease is still very virulent in the Perth dis.
trict of the country. —Colcdunian Mercury.
