THE EPIDEMIC AMONG THE MASS
ACHUsETTS CATTLE-slaughter
of those Infected.

The State Commissioners of Massachu-
setts have commenced the slaughter of in
fected cattle in Worcester county. At the
farm of Mr.. Alden Woods, twenty-One
Durham COWS, with eight or ten calves,
were killed. At the farm of Mr.. Alanson
A. Needham, who has lost seven animals
by the disease, the twenty-three remaining
were killed. After death they were buried
all in one deep hole. The stock of Mr..
Leonard Stoddard, some fifty or sixty in
number, will probably all be killed. Mr..
Stoddard, who understands very well the
value of manure, has dug hole at the side
of every tree in his orchard, and intends to
deposit one slaughtered animal at the foot
of each tree. A letter in the Boston Cour-
ier says
Up to this time the whole number of an
imals killed had been one hundred and
eight, valued, II was said, ar nye thousand
dollars. AS the whole appropriation was
only ten thousand dollars, and one hundred
fresh cases were reported, the commission
ers decided to stop the slaughter till the
Governor could be consulted. 1t is evident
that this appropriation is but drop in
the bucket to what will be required to ex-
torrn;Dota tba dicaosa
If they stop here, the money already
spent will avail nothing. 1t appears by
the testimony of stock owners, that the dis
ease is as contagious as smallpox. When
the cattle are turned out to pasture, as they
must be very soon, no limits can be as
signed to the spread of the disorder. If
any thing is dOne-it must be quickly
The course to be adopted will probably be
known tomorrow or next day at farthest.
This difficulty will put damper on the
State Fair at Springfield next fall PeO-
pie say they would not let their cattle 60
there at any price. Buyers at Brighton
are very suspicious Of beef from this lOcali-
ty. lis thought that the process of ex-
termination will occupy the summer months.
A report was in circulation this morning
that one of the commissioners had resign
ed, and second thought seriously of doing
the same thing
The Traveller states that the Governor
and the Commissioners had held meeting
at the State Honse, and had discussed the
expediency of calling an extra session of
the Legislature. 1t was finally decided
that medical board of the most exIeri-
enced veterinary surgeons should be en-
ployed to make further investigation, and
the killing of cattle be suspended until the
result of their observations are known

CHINESE DELICACIEs.

The Hong Kong correspondent of the
New York Mercsry writes;-You have
often heard, no doubt of the high regard
in which rats and puppies are held by the
Chinese. and you may have read something
as to the magnitude of the trade which has
grown out of the prevailing appetite for
these luxurics; bat very few of your readers,
perhaps, have had ocular demonstration, as
have done, of the wide extent of the prc-
vailing rat and dog consuming custom Be-
ing recently in Canton, after exploring 9TH
er points of interest. 1 paid visit to Rat
street, which derives its name from the
many restaurants in which nothing but
rats are served up and the many shops
where rats are only sold They were ex-
posed for sale in every style-alive, dead,
smoked, etc, and the shop keepers Inform
ed Us that they were every good" as per-
haps they were to those who could aPpre-
ciate them In q dog restaurant, visited
in cnr rounds, we found in a front room
several tables surrounded by Chinese, who
were RECALLING themselves upon dog. served
in variety of styles. l took seat at one
of the tables, md a dish of stewcd dogwas
promptly placed before me. 1t looked in-
iting, and its Odor was not bad, but did
not venture to partake. In small cup
upon the same table, were the eyes Of cat,
which is here very delicate and expensive
dish, but the sight of them to any but a
Chinese, is not to be regarded as tending
to sharpen the appetite. In the back room
were bamboo cages, placed in tiers, con-
taining dogs and puppies of every ago, size
and color Black dogs are supposed to be
!, the most delicate, and command she hig hes!
price. A person desiring to feast upon dog
has merely to step into restaurant and
select dog or puppy, according to hi;
taste, which will at once be cooked IL
whatever style he prefers. 1 believe ther'
is work upon China which denies that thu
! Chinese eat either rats. cats or dogs-5u
the mistake is veay bold enc lhav
seen dogs exposed for sale in the marketsO
Hong Kong, and in the samecity have seel
the people eat both rats and dogs

CONCLUSION.
1 wish to dictate to no man. l would
buy no man. And God knows l would
not disgrace my cOuntrymen by selling
them, if could. l always supposed a
man had right to exercise his own judge
ment and follow the dictates of his own
conscience, in the disposition of his vote
If it is 'treachcry' to exercise the rights OF
a freeman, then amend the Constitution ol
our country to conform to this Democratic
code. If the Democratic party has arrived
at this point of desperation, where it re-
quires its members to be deaf, blind and
senselcss to every principle not enumerated
by its leaders; if we must sacrifice our own
manhood and sense of right, under the pen
atty of being branded traitor, and haV-
ing our treachery heralded through the
public prints in prose and verse, it is time
the party went into dissolution. If you,
sir, wish to bow your neck to the yoke of
your master, and be the obedient ass of ty-
rants, may you be be blessed with the priv
ilege. But hope God will be merciful to
you as he was to one of old, and open your
mouth before you die, to rebuke those who
rode you. MICHAEL HOGAN.

Fair lilies Of Jerusalem,
Ye wear the same array
AS when imperial Judah's stem,
Maintained its regal sway.
BY sacred Jordan's desert tide
As bright We blossom on,
As when your simple charms outvied
The pride of Solomon.
Ye fiourished when the captive band,
By prophets warned in vain,
Were led to far Euphrates' strand,
From Jordan's pleasant plain,
In hostile lands to weep and dream
Of things that still were free,
And sigh to see your golden CLEAN,
Sweet flowers of Galileel
Ye have survived Judea's throne,
Her temples overthrow,
And seen proud Salem sitting lone'
A widow in her woe.

Through every change ye shine;
Your golden urns unfading gem

A merry shout is ringing out
From nature wild and clear,
Rejoicing loud as fees the cloud

The brooks proclaim aloud the name

Whilst singing birds, with joyous words
Confirming echoes ring.
The fresh'ning fields pleasure yield,
Donning their vernal hues;
Whilst humming bees and budding trees
Herald the joyous news.

Upon its fragrant wing,
Meekly ordains that beauty reigns

A small child, some three or four years old,
had been playing at well-throwinR in
rock.-when it unfortunately fell in. A dog,
which was with the child. gave the alarm. by
barking, but did not attract the immediate
notice of the parents. In about half an hour
the conduct of the dog running back and
forth from the house to the well, and barking
furiousy, induced the inmates of the house.
to institute a search for the child. 1t was
found in the water. buoyed up by small
piece of board under its back, alive and un-
injured, although the distance it had fallen
was some twelve feet or more, and the depth
OF water in the well six feet.
