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 are in a critical
state. One pig has also died from the same caus. Several
veterinary surgeons have examined the diseased animals,
but have been unable to decide upon the nature of the dis-
ease, which they are 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

A MALArnoros TEXT.—The English independent
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. Ho then rose to
deliver his address. It was on " The Importance of a
Right Introduction into the Christian 111inistry," and he
founded his discourse on the parable in which it is de-
clared that "ho that enteret.h in by the door is the shep-
herd of the sheep, while he that climboth up some other
way) tliQ gALIZQ is it thief awl t robber,"

—On Tuesday, at the assizes for tho North and East Ridings,
John Benion, a respectable-looking middle2aged man, was
indicted for unlawfully taking Emily Frances Harris, an
unmarried girl, under the age of 16, from the possession of
her parents. Benion kept a publichouse at Cottiugham, near
Hull, and the girl Harris, with the consent of her parents,
occasionally assisted him in the business. He appears to
have formed an attachment for her, and she for him, for on
her friends removing her home, in consequence of suspect-
ing that all was not right, they still met. It was shown
that the girl would not remain at home, and persisted in
going to the defendant, and it was alleged that he exorcised
an influence over hor which made him liable to the law.
Tho girl herself was put into the box, and sho said that it
was from her own will alone that sho refused to stop at
home, and insisted upon going to the defendant. The jury
found the defendant guilty, and sentenced him. to four
mouths' impri,sQuuaeut.
