when eaten by cattle, causes them to culver,
sagger and die within a few hours If cows
eat it, the milk is poisoned, or butter that is made
from the milk, and it liz also as death TO
those who use the milk or butter as it is TO the
animal that eats the weed. Great is taken
to bury such cattle as die with it; for fdogs, &c
eat their flesh, they share the same fate, and 1t
operates upon them as violently as upon the crea
ture that WINS first affected with it,. The butcher
uniformly, in this State, runs the victim of his
his knife mile TO heat his blood aud if it has
eaten the weed, it will at once on stopping, Quiv-
er and shake; ifit does not it is considered safe
to butcher, and this is the uniform test, even
when beef cattle show no signs of having eaten
the weed. Indiana is not alone in this misior
tune, there have been many cases in sone parts
ofOhio, and south Of St. Louis and other of the
south western states lhave seen many farms with
comfortable buildings and improvements en-
tirely abandoned, and their owners fled into 9th
er quarters to avoid the dreadful curse. And yet
l confess have never seen any section of the
country superior in soil to the land adjoining
the Wabash and this is the only objection to it.

Thus it will be seen that the loss which has
been sustained by the wool growers alone, has
amounted to abouttwenty one millions Of dollars,
equal to one whole years produce of their f1ocks.
The extent of injury is net measured by these
figures The amount deducted from the receipts
of the farmer, is not saved by the manufacturer
Not manufacturer in the country is doing bus
mess so advantageously now, as he was when
wool bore the pice of fifty cents the pound. Tho
loss on the capital invested, on the machinery
unemployed, on the fabrics which once found
ready sale in markets closed by the arrangement
of exchanges, but which now piled up in the
store houses, makes him share heavily in the COM
mon calamity.
In Massachusetts, there are 1872 wooden mills,
in 1886, producing 1l3l3,426 yards of cloth, of
the value Of $40, 800 607, and using capital of
nearly six millions of dollars. During the pro-
gress of the experiments their operations have
been partially entirely suspended, and the great
amount Of property in lands, structures, and ma
chinery, rendered unavailable If the loss ofin-
come to the proprietors alone, is taken into the
estimate at the low rate of six per cent, the nju-
ry TO this branch ofmanufactures during the year,
would amount to three hundred and SIXTY thous-
and dollars.
These wooden mills have employed 1907 ope-
ratives. Since the experiments commenced, one
half OF these persons have been thrown out ofem-
ploy, and the wages of those retained, have been
reduced thirty three per cent Without consid-
erng the distress thus occasioned to the frugal
and industrious, the tax levied upon this class
has amounted to one third Of The eplole ea,nings
oftaber.
Whatever may he the value of the services of
the political economists who have made the shad
ow of adversely dark over the country, they have
been secured at TOO high price. The nation
cannot afford the cost of such economy as they
practice, exist under the reform Of ruin they
have been attempting to accomplish.

We nave read letter written at French Creek,
dated July H. and published in The North Amer
lean of the 18th inst. which discloses one of the
most extraordinary transactions that has yet
cured upon the line of this frontier. The
editor vonches for the respectable character of
his correspondent, and also, says that the infor-
nation contained in that letter has been confirm
ed through other credible sources. A transact
ton SO extraordinary requires some explanation
if It can be given.
1t appears that permission had been granted
by Martin Van Buren,, President of the United
States, TO the British authorities to come within
the Territorial! jurisdiction OF the United States, &
upon American ground, for the purpose of de-
tcctiug those whom they may suppose were en-
gagged in the destruction of the Sir Robert Peel
What might have been readily anticipated from
such permission has already taken place. The
British authorities availed themselves of so ex-
traordinary license, commenced securing the
Islands and shores OF the St.SLawrence with
large body Of British soldiers
The qnet and peaceable citizens of this state
residing upon the American Islands OF the St.
Lawrence, have been injured and outraged by
invading British soldiery-ther houses broken
open, pillaged and robbed; and finally American
citizens pursuing their own business upon A
mercnn waters, are seized and forcibly dragged
from their occupations by British soldiers, and
threatened with imprisonment in the tort ana
Jail Mt Kingston. And these aggressions are
permitted under the license OF the President!

MILK SIcKNEss.-The following account OF
the Milk sickness which has been so fatal in
some parts of the West, is from correspondent
of an Indiana paper
"At Logansport, on the banks OF the Wabash,

ing either milk, butter or beef, on my way to
VIncennes. AS reason for her caution she in
formed me that the milk sickness was common
in this State. had heard OF it before, but knew
little of it. She informed me that very many
deaths occurred annually by this dreadful NAL
ady. There is a difference of opinions as TO the
cause that produces it; but the general opinion is
that it is occasioned by the yellow oxyd or arse

ularly near the Wabash river, and that some
weed, (yet unknown) imbibes the poison, and
