The Boston Courier says young lady
named Pierce, from a visit to the sea
shore, on the evening of the 18th inst,
with a friend, instead Of taking the
public road back, took path across Il
pasture, which was shorter. In the
pasture there were few cows, who
were playing together, and joining
horns in sportive contest, which fright
ened the girl who supposed that they
would attack her, and notwithstand-
ing the assurance of safety by her
companion who was familiar with such
demonstrations, she fell into convul-
SONS through fear, probably ruptured
a blood vessel internally, and died in
three hours afterwards.

Notwithstanding many reports
and magnifed rumors that make the
eyes of nervous people start out Of
their sockets; We say from authority
backed by our own observation, that
Baton Rouge at this season of the
year, was never more healthy. We
have yet to record here, the first well
authenticated case of the malignant
disease now rag ng in New Orleans
We may however 60 back into the
country, or step 20 the other side Of
the river, and learn the most hcrrid
things-facts that Mr.. somebody has
told Mr.. somebody's reported to
Mr. somebody by DR.. Somebody, all
Of which, when measured with the
fact" is less substantial than the
fabric Of a vision. The dreaded
months of July and August have
past, and the morning air begins to
SAVIOR of the frosts Of winter. We 'opg
to see the first frost finger the earth
that there may be mental reaction.
Why more people do not die,--for
the life Of US we cannot see, since the
whole nervous system Of Louisiana
is kept in a .remor, and the blood.-by
hot weather, and excitement is be-
yond tie limit of fever heat.
People are moving to and fro, in
all directions to get ont Of the way
Of danger and yet, they do not
get out of the reach Of the Almighty
hand, with whom the destiny of every
human being, is. What sermon is
this--Do we live in a Christian conf
munity, or are We Heathens. We
favor the latter belief, since, every
man trembles on his legs, and forgets
the holy teachings of Religion, for at tie
bare. mention Of the word "death" -
a minister with delegated authority
from on high, Who comes to enforce
law of nature, from which no man
can serene himself. Society is not
as it should be ; if it were, the world
would never be visited by devastating
epedemics.
