E "A correspondent of the London Tunes says that an exceedingly fatal epidemic has been raging for some time among the herds of Central Europe, and has'now reached Konigsburg, where one proprietor is said to have lost three hundred head in single night. In 1745, the same, or like epidemic, was introduced into England by means of two calves in Holland. In the second year after its introduction over 40 600 cattle died in Nottinghamshre and Lei cestshre, and almost many in Cheshire. During the third year remuneration was given by the gov ernment, who had ordered the destruction of dseas ed cattle for no fewer than 80, 900 heal d, while twice many more, according to the report of one of the commissioners, died of the malady In the fourth year, it equally fatal does it appear to have completely dis appeared until eight years after.
 | The Central 1exan learns from gentleman of undoubled probity that while he was cutting down trees in the vicinity of the Navisote, he made most remarkable discovery. He cut down among other trees huge cottonwood, with hollow in t,and an aperture from the outside some six feet above the ground. Upon splitting open this tree, the hollow was found to contain Indians skeleton which was perfect not bone missing The conjecture is, that a' Souc tlthe or obner te Inuls SoI Into the hollow tree 10 make his escape from some enemy or wild animal and was unable to get out again. and so pershcd.
 The Harrisburg Telegraph, in noticing the arri- val of Judge Willnot at that place says: The friends of Mr. Wilmot will make great cf forts toget his consent to become the opposition cn didate fof Governor and we hope that he may be prevailed upon to accept that nomination. He would not only poll the heaviest vote of the opnos lslon party to the slavc-driving Democracy, but would make Governor around whom every lover of freedom could rally.

Rev. Dansil waldo.

Seyenty-fye years ago, the Rev. Daniel Waldo.
 late Chaplain te the House of Representatives in Congress, was soldier in the army of the Revolu- tion, at Greenwich in this State. He was there taken prisoner by the Cow Boys certain class of maraudcrs on the lines were called, and was con- fined in the Sugar House in New York for three months. He had brother by the name of Cyprian Waldo, who then resided at Sharon and who died there about sixty five years ago. &On Mr Wal,los release from captivity he visited the brother in Sharon. He afterwards completed course of colle giate education, and spent considerable time in thai town, and occasionally preached there before his settlement in the ministry at Sufficld. Last xeek he visited Sharon again, and preached two se rmons In the Congregational Meeting house on the Sabsatb
 Inc tact that the preacher was more than ninetv- four years old. that he walked nearly half mile frria the parsonage to the meeting house, that he ascended to the pulpid with firm and regular step and went through the exercises, apparently without fatigue and without fltering invested the occasion with a remarkable degree of interest. MT. Waldo apears to be in the full possession of his mental powers, and his physcal energies remain to him in q reniarkaclc degree. He is we'll informed in all tho history of lis own time, and is remarkably conn., panionatle man. It is doubtful whether another such instance of vigorous old age exists in our county.

the street was narrow. The Hibernian COM
nenced backing his horse-Bucephalus snubbed
his heel and fell over, MASKING his rider. The
blame was, unfortunately, laid to the driver of
the carriage, whose further progress met a very
spirited opposition from the shanty community
near by. A party of Irishmen seized the horses
and refused to permit them to 60 on. At last,
being persuaded by the determined tones of q
bystander, they allowed the team to proceed to
Mr.. McCask's stable, where it belonged-they

out airesh, and they refused to let the horses 60

being overcome, and the horses being in their
places, they became clamorous for the driver.
farty leeiing ran high during the whole affair.
1t is the opinion Of the witnesses that il the sta

Hibernians had had less whskey there would
have been less row.
In the evening party entered the American
House. and got into row with person there,

A private fight occurred near the Market
House, the particulars OF which We failed to

The AMERICAN UNIoN.-The Baltimore Patriot
Of Saturday evening contains graphic account
of the reception and entertainment of the guests
from the Western cities, who arrived in Balti-
more on Saturday morning last. Among the
speeches of the occasion those of Mayor Swan
of Baltimore, and Gov. Chase of Ohio, were
pre-eminent. One of the concluding paragraphs
of Gov. Chase's speech, touching upon the
American Union, deserves the widest circula.
ton. He said:
You have spoken, eloquently, sir, of raa-
roads as bonds Of union, and your observations
were as just as they were eloquent. No man
conversant with railroads can be a dsunionist
The social intercourse which they foster, the
ties OF business which they create, the mutual
dependence which they establish and exhibit,
make disunion impossible. There must, OF
course, be differences of opinion on some points.
Real grievances may from time to time demand
redress. But there is no evil of which disunion
each other the less likely shall we be to commit
the error of thinking otherwise. The fact is,
that we who live along the line of the American
Central railway, don't mean to let this union
be broken up. Maryland will not consent to il,
| think. trust Virginia will not. Ohio, l am
sure will not. Nor Indiana, or Illinois or Mis-
souri,. Who, then, will? No; sir. We may
differ henceiorth, as we have done heretofore.
We will maintain our respective opinions and
positions with caudor, courtesy, frmness and
resolution. And we will refer whatever ques.
ton may be between us to the great American
tribunal Of popular discussion and popular judg-
ment. But in the time to come as in the time
past, we ceave to the Union as our ark OF re-
iuge, and under God our surest guarantee of
prosperity and power and abiding glory"
