power to terminate the commission. The re-
solve relating to pay of the members came
down from the Senate with three dollars in
place of four dollars per day. The House
non.concurred, and asked a committe Of con

adjourned till Tuesday
TUESDAY, June 12-In the Senate, the re-
port of the committee on agriculture, on the
subject of repeating the bounty to the several
agricultural societies, came up from the House,
and was accepted in concurrence The sup
Elementary cattle bill was then taken up, and
all the House amendments were cOncurred in
without debate, and the secretary of the com
monwealth was directed to transmit to the Sc
lectmen and mayors of the several towns and
cities, copy of the bills as soon as they were
approved and. printed.
The committee on agriculture reported, in
the House, that it was inexpedient to legislate
on the subject of Withholding bounties from
agricultural societies the present year. The
supplementary cattle bill came up on its pas
sage to be engrossed. The amendment to
change the name of the scientific commission
ers to the Board of Examiners, was adopted
1t was also voted that the report of the com
missloners and examiners shall be printed in
the annual volume of Transactions of the
Board of Agriculture A great variety of
amendments were made, some of which were
adopted, and many lost.
We shall publish the bills in relation to the
cattle disease, as they passed the legislature,
and were signed by the governor, tomorrow.
1t is probable that the Legislature will adjourn

In the House, the action of the commission

in which they were sustained by Messrs.

THE BEEF PANIc.-The panic created by
the peuro pneumonia among cattle, has led
many persons to abstain entirely from eating
beef They dread diseased meat" and
shudder at the thought of eating it unawares !;
therefore they buy no beef, and can think
of nothing but horrid poisons whenever they
see the article. 1t seems to us that an hon
est use of reason should dispel this fool
ish panic without ceremony. There is
much excitement, and talk, and apprehension,
in regard to the cattle disease; and yet but a
very small proportion of the cattle, even here
in Worcester county, have been affected by 1t.
The disease has prevailed in but a few towns,
and at no time has it been likely that
a diseased animal would find its way
to the butchers, to be transformed into
beef No respectable market man would
allow such beef near his premises, for he does
not covet the reputation it would give his bus
neighborhood has really led TO unusual care in
the selection of animals for beet. AT no time
since the panic began has any other than good
beef 3een seen or heard of in our market.
None OF those who have continued TO buy beef
have found the pleuro-pneumOna in it. One
of our most intelligent and reliable physicians
expresses his opinion of the matter by saying
"This panic about eating beef is all nonsense"
We ought to add that he puts very strong
adjective before the word "nonsense."

The Boston Courier says THE evidence
of DIR. Jacob Bigelow, one of the Oldest and
wisest of our physicians, before the committee
Of the legislature, on the subject of the disease
now prevalent among the cattle of Massachu-
sets, is entitled to great consideration. He
does not profess to have paid special attention
to the diseases of domestic cattle; but he is a
man of great sagacity, large experience, and
philosophical understanding, and these facpl-
ties and accomplishments he applies to the
case in hand upon the facts as they are brought
to him." We protest against this method of
accrediting the opinions of any man. If DR..
Bigeow has not given special attention to the
diseases of domestic cattle, he is not qualified
to give a useful opinion on the subject, and,
therefore, should withhold his opinion until he
knows more about it. We do not question
his intelligence or ability. On any subject to
which he has given special attention, his opin-
ion is worthy of respectful consideration.
But no intelligence on one subject, no matter
how great or luminous, can supply the lack
of it on another. When DR.. Bigelow, in the
face of all the facts, or rather without having
given attention to the facts, puts forth his
opinion that the prevalent cattle plague
is not contagious, we find ourselves com.
PEELED to modify our estimate of his wis.,
dom. If he had given proper attention
to the matter, he would not be heard
expressing that opinion. 1t is well enough
to discourse at length on popular igno-
rance and its panics; there are abundant ma
terials for such discourses but it is also
wholesome at times to expose the oracular ig-
norance of the learned. That egotism of sci
entific men which gives hasty and crude opin.
ions through unwilingness TO seem ignorant
on any subject, is quite as unhandsome, and
quite as likely to do harm, as the popular ig-
norance" on which it sometimes delivers tedi-
Gus lectures
