A MURRIAN APPRoAcHING.-A correspondent
of the London Times says that an exceeding
" fatal epidemic has been for some time raw.
aging the herds of Central Europe, and has
now reached Konigsberg, where one proprie-
tor is said to have lost three hundred head in
a night.-The writer says:
ain l745 the same or like epidemic was
introduced into England by means of two
calves from Holland. In the second year af-
ter its introduction over 10000 cattle died in
Nottinghamshre and Leicestershire. and al
most as many more IN Cheshire. During the
third year remuneration was given by the
government, who had ordered the destruc
ton of diseased cattle, for no fewer than So
600 head, while twice as many more, accor-
ding to the report of one of the commission
ers, died of the malady. In the fourth year
il was equally fatal, nor does it appear to
have completely disappeared till eight years
after"

ACQUISITION OF LOWER CALIFoRNA.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, says:-The allusion in the Inaugural
to the purchase of territory by the United
States, will receive an early solution in all
probability, in the acquisition of Lower Cali.
fornia and Sonora. Under the peculial posi-
ton of affairs now in Mexico there is no doubt
those possessions could easily be purchased
and whilst they are an expense to Mexico,
they would be OF immense Importance to the
United States. Mr.. Buchanan's policy in
this respect is decided, and the purchase, if
within reasonable bounds will be made.

THE CoMET-Paris, February 22.-To
day we have had quite summer weather in
Paris. The event has caused public attention
to be almost entirely absorbed with the comet,
which thousands here believe will smash our
globe on the 18th of June next. The comet
is the subject of almost universal conversa-
ton. Although we have fewer works on
prophecy in France than in London, we have,
nevertheless, prophetic almanacs and SOM
namhulists, and dreamers of dreams, and
spirit rappcrs, which make up for the def
cheney, aud are now INCREASINGLY employed -
Up to the present moment the comet has not
affected the value of bills due after the 18th
Of June. Apropos, phenomenon Of rather
rare occurrence in countries distant from the
Pole was seen at La Rochelle on Monday
last, from about three o'clock in the afternoon
to sunset. Three suns appeared in the heav.
ems, Placed in the same line, the real one in
the centre. The two mock suns were, Of
course, less brilliant than the real one.

1t was said that McDonald's bullet passed so

CHANGED HIS MIND.-A Frenchman by
the name of LeBlond, went into magis-
trate's office in ST. Louis, few days ago, to
lodge complaint against his wife for adul-
terry. Before the magistrate could make out
a warrant for her arrest, LeBlond changed
his mind, and said that he didn't wish to live
any longer, and would take it as special ia
vor, If some gentleman would have the kind
ness to blow his brains out. lie implored
the bystanders to accede to his request, and
relieve him of the cares of this world Three
of those present winked at each other, drew
their revolvcrs, and pointed them at LeBlond.
Ifever poor fellow begged for his life, it
was just ut that moment. He thought they
were in earnest, and declined dying.

will not tread the MUSES. various maze,
But tell simple tale in plain familiar phrase.
In farmers yard I've seen housewife stand,
Peace in her looks, and plenty in her hand,
Dealing her friendly favors on the ground,
Whilst all the neighboring poultry gathers
round.
Bold chanticleer, in shining plumage gay,
Struts on before, and leads the we'll known
way;
His consort next, she guides his chattering
train,
Impatient to devour the golden grain;
Next stalks the Turkey cock above the rest,
With rosy gills and elevated chest;
The screaming goose and waddling duck
come last,
Alike partakers of the free repast.
The breakfast done, behold each thankful
guest
Some birds, like men, make gratitude jest,
With insolence and pampered pride elate,
Presumes his merit should provide him meat,
And thinks the hostess thanked that he
vouchsafed to eat.
A linnet perching on a neghboring tree
The well-provided banquet CHANGED to see;
She lights, and. mingling with the motley
crew,
Feasted, as most at free expense will do;
Then singing from the mercenary strong,
Repaid the generous donor with a song.
So may sweet numbers with my wish agree,
And gratitude replete shine forth in me

Landry, said he could not see any use in such
things, and was opposed to the whole affair.
Every American in the Legislature, who
was present, voted for their purchase.
