The Cattaraugus Tornado.

The fury of the late tornado was prin-
cipaly spent in the vicinity of Ca,taraugus
and Waverly. Between these places lie
woods were entirely blown down. The
Reporter states that upwards OF fifty
buildings, including out-houses were
either blown down. or unroo!ed, or other
wise injured. Mr.. B. Burroughs,a "a citizen
OF Waverly, was almost instantly killed.
1t appears thnt al the time the bio" ccm-
menced. Mr.. Burroughs was at work in
the Wooden Factory there, and two young
ladies being engaged in the upper part Of
the building, he proceeded thither for the
purpose Of assisting them 10 escape. He
succeeded in getting them down stairs,
and was proceeding out doors when, just
as be stepped outside the door, a gust Of
wind struck him and raised him off The
ground. and threw him with such grea,
force against the wall Of the building thai
he died in about forty minutes. The
young ladies escaped serious injury.

The New York Times for Lincoln.

Tho New York Times, formerly powor-
ful Douglas organ, has declared in favor of
Lincoln for tho Presidency. The Times
talks thus:
According to present appearances, we
have no hesitation in saying, that the sue
cess OF tho Republican ticket promises to be
tho only practical way of escaping the dan.
gers that monaco tho peace & prosperity Of
tho country. 1t seems probable that tho
only choice which rejecting men will be al
lowed to make in the coming canvass, will
be between electing Mr.. Lincoln, and thus
committing tho Federal Government to the
hands of an able, honest and upright, citizen,
or seeing tho Presidency scrambled for on
the floor of Congress- and made the prize
Of venality, or the sport of men who specu'
late pl Occasionally in the misery and distress
Of their country.

To Hon. GRo AsuMUS. President, sc.

LINCOLN AT TUE South. The St.Louis
Democrat Of the Is. instant speaks as fol.
lows OF the sudden cessation Of the dsun.
ion cry at the South upon the nomination
OF Lincoln:
"The effect Of Lincoln's nomination at
the South is little less than miraculous
Il seems to have trauquilized all the angry
elements in that quarter, the Democratic
party alone excepted. The millennium
contingent on The establishment OF the
southern contederscy. which was itself to
be contingent upon the election of Re.
publican to the Presidency, is evidently
postponed. The note OF preparation for
the marshaling OF armed hosts to dissolve
the Union in the event Of Republican
victory in November, is heard no more
throughout the land. The most desperate
secessionist threatens no revolt, and ad-
vises no reasonable action. Whether all
this is to be ascribed to the admitted
conservatism Of Lincoln's character and
opinions, is perhaps doubtful. We are o.
the opinion that the thinking men OF the
South are, in reality, more favorable tc
his election than that of Douglas"

The Cattle Malady in achusetts.

Auo Od1IlO AuoAoNy Al mopooShuSSbV5'
From the Worcester (Mass,) Spy Of
The 2Ist we learn
The Committee appointed by lhe State
Agricultural Board, TO investigate the
cattle disease at and near North Brook
field have concluded that the only way TO
eradicate the disease is by call of a
special session Of The Legislature and an
appropriation Of sum sufficient to exter-
inmate the cattle Of the diseased district.
In the meantime the Committee recon-
mended the people TO surround the dis
ease, drive stakes about the infected dis
trict, and kill every animal inside the in
fected circle. Townships not yet infested
have organized patrols TO prevent the
coming in Of any cattle from infected
towns.
An OK that had been purchased at
Brighton market, and that came in car
with other cattle and was in the yards
with other cattle, has died Of the disease,
and physicians pronounce the disease con-
tagious. Many farmers suspecting their
herds had been exposed have sold their
cattle for a mere song, and they have been
kill for beef. A ban is laid upon meat in
the infected part Of the State, and in con-
sequence, eggs are in such demand that
} the poultry yards cannot supply the
populace.
In regard to the infectiousness Of the
disease, the testimony Of Rev. Mr. Lindsey,
an American missionary who formerly re-
sided in eastern Africa, is quoted. He
states that bull was imported into Port
! Natal from Holland, which died of pleurc
pneumonia, in sixty days after its arrival
: In the meantime, the disease bad beer
communicated. to other cattle, and spread
rapidly in al! directions, jumping three
hundred miles at one time, in consequence
I, o. one OF the tribe driving herd of cattle
, that distance. The disease extended
, along the entire coast, distance Of thir
D teen hundred miles sweeping all the cattle
before it. The cattle belonging 10 lht
tribe in which Mr. Lindsey dweit, we're
however, exempt from the injection, thu
Chief of the tribe having promptly ant
completely cut off all communication will
, the cattle OF other tribes. He cleared I
/ belt Of land about three hundred rod
h wide, entirely around his &ingdom, ant
0 this by agreement with the surrounding
5 chiefs, was regarded as neutral ground
No cattle were allowed to cross it but il
The process Of transportation goods wer
drawn to the line by cattle, then cairie
across the belt by the natives, and take
up again by oxen in the adjoining territory
3 The result Of this judicious action wa
e thai not an animal died Of the disease i
Al that tribe. While beyond The belt, III
IL cattle could be seen dying upon the hill'
- within it there was perfect security. NJ
4 Lindsey strongly asserts that the diseas
10 is a contagious consumption, which is ii
,s capable OF modification.
