DOES THE FORMATION OF A STATE ANN1
H1LArE TERRlroRy7 p
This question has assumed a very grave
importance with the inhabitants of that
section Of country north cf the present
State Of Wisconsin, and now known a.
Wisconsin Territory. 1t is claimed by
some Of them, that the formation Of the
State, did not in the least interfere with
the old Territorial organization, and this
is claimed particularly by the officers o:
of the former Territory.
The Secretary Of the Territory, Mr.
Catlin, heretofore residing in Madison,
has we understand gone TO assume the
duties Of his Office, in what he claims still
to be the Territory Of Wisconsin, shor n
somewhat though it be Of its fair proper
tons.
We have understood that Mr.. Buchan.
an, the secretary Of State, has given an
opinion somewhat favoring this view oil
the matter.
Should it be so decided, the old judges
and other officers will Of course resume
their duties in the new Territory.
Mr.. Tweedy, the former delegate to
Congress has resigned, and Mr.. Sibley
appointed We hope to have further in
formation upon this point from our cor.
respondent at St. Pauls.
DISEASE AMONG CArrLE.--We learn
from an intelligent farmer living in the
vicinity Of this City, that very fatal
disease is now prevailing among the cat
tie in this county.
"lt is known among the farmers as the
"Blaek Quarter" and so far as has been
observed is always fatal, no remedy hav-
ing boen found which will effect cure.
The disease is said TO show itself first
by tumor upon one Of the legs, which
crackles under the touch as if filled with
air. 1t is often fatal in a day or two,
and upon examination after death, the
flesh Of the affected quarter is found in
filtrated with blood. The disease seems
to be confined to calves and young cattle.
