A Righteous Verdict.

The infanous school teacher, Morris,
was convicted at the late sessions of the
Cambria county Court of violating the
person of his scholars, little girl about
fourteen years of age, and sentenced to
the peniteutiary for twelve years. His
guilt was as clear as the deed was iDfa
nous, and the Court gave him the full
extent Of the law-no doubt regretting
that such wretch could not be consign-

Cattle Disease in Washington County.

From the Washington Examiner, of thi.
State, We learn that the disease which has
been so disastrous to cattle in the Eas.
tern States has broken out among the
sheep of Mr.. James Morrison, of Char
tiers township, and carried off a large
number. On Thursday of last week he
lost about forty, and others were in dy-
ing condition when be left home on Fri
day. He exhibited small quantity of
gravelly sort of substance taken from
the stomach of one of the dead sheep, and
submitted it to several physicians for an
alyzation; but, after a thorough ezamina-
ton, nothing could be made out Of it
He states that the disease is very similar
to the cholera in its operations; carrying
off the sheep in short time after being
attacked. 1t behoves our farmers to be
on their guard, and take every precau-
ton to prevent the spread of the malady.

Summer Sours.

Physiological research has fully estab-
lisbed the fact that acids promote the
separation of the the bile from the blood
which is then passed from the system,
thus preventing fevers. the prevailing dis
ease Of sumner. All fevers are "bili.
ous," that is, the bile is in the blood
Whatever is antagonistic of fever is cool
ing. It is a common saying that fruits
are "cooliDg," and also berries Of every
description; it is because the acidity
which they contain aids in separating the
bile from the blood. that is, aids in puri-
flying the blood. Hence the great yearD-
ing for green's and lettuce and salads in
the early spring, these being eaten with
vinegar; hence also the taste for some
thing sour, for lemonades, on an attack
of fever.
But this being the case. it is easy to
see, that we pullify the good effects Of
fruits and berries, in proportion as We eat
them with sugar, or even sweet milk or
cream. If we eat them in their natural
state. fresh, ripe, perfect. it is almost i'm i
possible to eat too many, to eat enough
to hurt us, especially if We eat them a.
lone, not taking any liquid With them
whatever Hence also is buttermilk, or
even common sour milk promotive Of
health in summer time. Sweet milk
tends to bliousness in sedeDtary people;
sour milk is antagonistic. The Greeks
and Turks are passionately fond Of sour
milk. The shepherds use rennet, and the
milk dealers alum to make it sour the
the sooner. Buttermilk acts like water
melons on the system.-HaH's Journal.

Senator La.liau,'s Speech.

We have received, under frank from that gen
teman, IA copy of latham's speech delivered in
the United States Senate, on the l6!h of April.
1t was made in reply TO Senator Seward on the
issues of the day, and is . very elaborate and
able DOCUMENT
Mr., Latham commenced by invoking the spirit
of our institutions, their genius, effect and desti
ny, and by reviewing the course Of our legsla-
tive energies in sacrificing the better interests of
the country at the shrine of the twin sisters
Bank Tariff and Negro Slavery. His following
remarks were confined to close review of the
" Ireprcssiblc Conflict" predicated by Mr.. Sew
ard in his late speech, and repndatng that Sen.
ators division of labor States and "capital
States" He spoke to show that labor and capi-
tai are so inssparably and Intimately connected
that their union necessarily existed in all com
munities-that the tendency of capital was
to reduce the wages Of labor to the minimum
standard of actual living expense. lie argued
that the conflict between capital and labor was
clearly eXempled in the old world, giving to
monarohial governments II problem which the
on to solve that the Northern States assimilated
greatly with the institutions of the old world
while the South holding the interest of its labor
in the capital itself, the two are so involved in
each other that the interests OF one depends upon
the others welfare, and that the preservation Of
the South as a consumer is the true interest of
the North, and any change in the institution of
slavery that would tend to make the South a
manufactu turing community, would be injurious to
the North.
Mr.. Latham believes the negro cOnstitutionaly
