ALARMING CATTLE DISEASE.—A disease of a very
alarming character has broken out among a herd of cattte
belonging to Mr. John Mill, of Penpill farm, near Calling-
ton, Cornwall. Within a few days 14 bullocks have suc-
cumbed to the disease, and several others aro in a critical
state. One pig has also died from the same cause. Several
veterinary surgeons have examined the diseased animals,
but have been unable to decide upon the nature of the dis-
ease, which they aro all of opinion is not rinderpest. Pro-
fessor Symons is engaged on an analysis and examination
of the internal organs of some of the animals which have
died. The outbreak has caused groat uneasiness and alarm
in East Cornwall.

A MALAPROPOS TEXT.—The English _lndependent
tells that the late Rev. "William Thorpe, of Bristol, was so
stout that on one occasion, when about to take part in an
ordination service, it was found that the pulpit was too
narrow to admit him in the ordinary way, and he had to
be assisted over the side into his seat. He then rose to
deliver his address. it was on " The Importance of a
Right Introduction into the Christian Ministry," and he
founded his discourse on the parable in which it is de-
clared that "ho that entereth in by the door is the shep-
herd of the sheep, while he that climboth up some other
way, the mule a thief And a robber."
