AHarmattan Wind.

Mr.. L. Mcleod, the author of work
on "Travels in Eastern Africa" recent
ly published in London, furnishes the
following account of a Harmattan wind:
"During the prevalence ofthese winds
l have frequently seen the furniture
split, and articles which were veneered
considerably damaged, the veneering
in some cases being curled up like dried
sheets of paper. Books left closed on
the table at night would be found on
the following morning completely open
ed, and each leaf standing up as if it
had been highly stifened with gum
At such times glass tumblers would
break, apparently of their own accord /:
and I have known one slight tap given
tumbler made of blown glass, not on
ly to break it, but, as if by sympathy,
others remotely placed in different parts
of the room"

A schoOl-Room Vision.

Another school days work was done,
And silence reigned once more;
While the shades of the sinking autumn sun
LengtheLed upon the floor,
And the quaint old clock in the corner licked,
Long past the hour of four.
a teacher sat by her school-room desk,
Wearicd with toll and care
And the drowsy breeze of the afternoon,
Played with her locks of halr;
And lu.led by the whispering of the trees,
She dreamed Of her scho,l room chair.
Tne years, like a scroll, had all passed by,
1t was the judgement day;
And around the throne of the Mighty Judge
Were gathered grave and gay,
To see their deeds in the balance placed
Forthe Master was 10 weigh.
Al angel came to the teachers side,
And, taking her by the hand,
Led her up to the Master thro2e,
Where she saw a little band
OF those she had taught in by gone years,
Come home to the g Better Land
Their hearts were untanted by sad regrets,
For The world they had left afar
But they sang the praise Of the King of Kings
As they gathered around the bar
To receive in their foreheads the sign and seal
OF the bright and Morning STAR"
Teacher said the Mighty Judge,
1--WE a crown of life for thee
Thou hast trained and prepared this little band
For the courts of Eternity
Thou hast done it unto the least of these,
Thou hast done it unto me"
And the angel kissed her cheek and brow
And robed her in spotless white;
And they placed harp within her hand,
And gave her a crown of light,
And they bore her up nearthe Masters throne
To seat upon the right.
When the teacher awoke the setting sun
Fell faint upon the floor,
And the quaint old clock in the corner clicked
Long past the hour of four;
But the teacher heart was iull of hope,
And she never grew weary more

STATE AGRIcULTURYL Rooms, J
MADISON. Wis June 9, 1860 {

EDITORS STATE JOURNAL AT {
meeting Of the Executive Commute Of
the Wisconsin State Agricultural Soc
iety, held in these rooms, on the 9tf
inst, for the consideration of of mat
tiers of Importance connected with the
Tenth Annual Exhibition, and pending
discussion Of the alarming disease
which has occasioned the destruction
of so many cattle in Massachusetts,, the
following resolutions were offered and
unanimous ly adopted:
WHEREAS, That contagious and
most destructive disease-known as'sple.
uro>pneumonia" is now making fearful
ravages among the cattle of New Eng
land, and, Whereas, there is a great
danger, unless every precaution shall
be used to prevent its spread, and that
it may extend from State to State, un-
til the whole country shall have been
made to suffer from its devastations /;
therefore.
Resolved, That it becomes the imper-
alive duty of every State not yet inva-
ded by said disease and of all agricul-
turalorganizations therein to discourage
and by all lawful means to prevent the
importation Of every description of neat
cattle, until satisfactory evidences have
been furnished that it has been entirely
exterpated from the country.
Reso1oed, That, in pursuance of this
conviction, we feel called upon, as the
authorized representatives Of the Wis
consin State Agricultural Society, to
carefully exclude all cattle brought from
without the limits of this State, from.
competition at the annual fair to be held
at Madison in September next, or from
admission to the grounds to be occu-I
pied for the purposes of the exhibit
ton. ,JU9b
Resolved, That we do hereby urge
upon all farmers and dealers In cattle
in Wisconsin, the policy of nonimpor-
tation, not only as the wisest measure
of self-protection, but also as a patriots
ic duty to the welfare of the State.
Resoz0ed further That we respect
fully and earnestly recomend to ali the
Boards Of Agriculture. and Agricultu-
raj Societies of other States: a similar
policy of non-importation.
The committe, | may add, feel conf
dent that the possible loss to our coun-
try of the more than seven hundred
millions Of dollars, this moment inves-
ted in cattle, in the several States, of
the Union, will, of itself, prove a suffi-
Gent incentive to cheerful and hearty
in the use of all measures
that may reasonably be expected to stay
progress of this fell disease

HERCULANEUMs ABOVE GROUND
Five ancient cities-deserted and forgot
ten-have been discovered in the Great
Desert, beyond the the River Jordan.
A report made to the Royal Asiatic
Society, by Mr.. Graham, an Englishman
lately returned from travels in tn east,
gives the particulars of the discovery
"They were as perfect as if the inhab-
itance had just left them-the houses
retaining the massive stone doors which
are characteristic of the architecture
of that region. One of the cities is re-
markable for large building like a
castle, built of white stones beautifully
cut. Further eastward other palaces
were found where every stone had in
scriptioni in an unknown character,
bearing some apparent likeness to the
Greek alphabet, but probably referable
to the Hamyaritic alphabet, formely in
use in Southern Arabia"

AN Iowa paper mentions the fact
of two emigrant families crossing the
ferry at Muscatine on their return to
Wisconsin, after a years residence in
Macon Co., Missouri. They dislike the
country for several reasons, prominent
among which is the abuse and annoy
ances to which all new settlers from
the Free States are subjected by their
proslavery neigheors. They exhibited
aspecimen of a murderous looking weap-
on which is carried by almost every
body in that delectable country of strife
and turmoil. 1t is huge jack knife,
nearly three feet in length.
