THE CATTLE MURRAIN.

The increase of the Cattle Murrain in Massachu-
setts is exciting apprehensons among the cattle
owners in other parts of the country 1t has been
communicated to the cattle of Connecticut and
Rhode Island, where it is spreading rapidly, and
threatens, unless checked, to spread desolaton
among the herds of the Union. In 1874, q cat
tie plague began in England, which was carried
there by two calves brought from Holland, aud
which ragged eleven years among the herds of
England before it was stopped. Forty-thensand
head perished in Noting nghamshire in six months
and $4,000 in Cheshire in the same space of time.
A million of dollars was paid by the government
in one years time for cattle slain by order of the
Commissioners Parliament passed an act provid-
ing for the Staying of all diseased CATTLE and bury
the carcass with the skin on, slashed from head to
tail, to prevent the tanners from exhuming them
for burning all hay straw used about such
aninuls-for tumigating sheds and barns, and pre-
venting the housing ofcatte therein for two months
therca!ter-tor separating recovered animals from
healthy ones-tOr hndering the slaughter of dis
eased cattle for market any other use-and for
notice of outbreak of the disease to be given in
Stanter to the Commissioners. Ofate years. how
ever, it is said that, in New England France and
Holland, incipent Murrains have been stopped by
resort to chemical prevcntives.
We have already mentioned that TIE Governor
of Massachusetts has called the Legislature of
that State together for the express purpose Of con-
siderrg what further action is necessary to stay
the restence. Fifty thousand dollars have been
expended by the State in paying for the diseased
cattle, which has been slain, in the hope of prevent
ing thereby the spread Of the disease; but it has
broken out i'll localities, far distant from the
place of its first appearance, carried thither, doubt
less, 10y the transportation of diseased animals.
The disease is said to be firmly fixed in twenty Of
the largest cattle raising districts in New England,
and yet, butchers are found in the infected dis
tricts buying up diseased cattle, cheap, for the
New York market!
The Baltimore Patriot calls the attention Of the
farmers and cattle owners in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania to this plague which is now on
its destructive march, and which will long
ace the herds Of those States.

RAREY, THE AMERICAN HORSE
tanner, IN THE ARABIAN DESERT.
Correspondence of the Boston Traveller.
BEIRUT, March 20, 1860

BEIRUT, March 20, 1860
Our distinguished countryman, Mr. J. s. Rarey,
after winning golden opinions in England and
France. where he has amassed large fortune has
been spending some time in the desert of Arabia
among the Arabs and their fine horses. In this
Eastern trip, however, he combined business with
pleasure, for he made only the orthodox tour
through the country-that is to say, from Jafa to
Jerusalem, thence to Damascus via Samaria and
the Sea Of Galilee, and thus on to Beirut by the
way OF Baalbec, making at the same time several
deours into the desert to search for the great tribe
Of Bedouins who hang among the borders of Syria
and Palestine. Jerusalem he literally astonished
the natives in subdung the ferocity of the Pacha
stud, and by exhibition of his power over the
horse creation before the resident Consuls His
pursuit after the Bedouin camps however, was
unsuccessful. A three days ride into the desert
convinced him that they were beyond his reach;
and when he informed that they were more
than twenty days journey beyond the Jordan. he
abandoned the search, contentng himself with
seeing all the Arabian horses in Jerusalem
Damascus, and Beirut.
In Beirut, Mr. Rarey received every attention
to which his reputation entitled him; and the
American and European Consuls General treated
him With great respect. Invitations to dinner and
dJeuner crowded upon him in such numbers that
he forced to decline some of them for want of
Count Benteroglis, composed Of fifteen splendid
Arabian horses received his special attention and
were pronounced to be remarkably fine collection.
One incident connected with the visit Of our
noted countryman to Syria is Of peculiar interest.
Mr johnson, the u. S. Consul, introduced him to
the somewhat famous Ayoub Bey, who presented
Hon. W. II. Seward, OF New York, while visiting
this country last SUMNER with three fine Arabian
horses, which are to be forwarded to the United
States by the first opportunity. Inasmuch as
Ayoub Bey claimed for these horses the best blood
in Syria Consul was anxious to obtain Mr.
Rareys opinion of the specimen horses. which
soon to be shipped to Auburn, New York The
Bey ordered out the Seward horses, or two Of them
rather, for one was absent in the mountains, and
they trotted up and down in the paved court
yard, to the great delight Of those who were
gathered to witness some grand exhibitions. There
was no exhibition, but Mr. Rarey, after examining
them thoroughly, declared himself better pleased
with them than any others he had seen in Syria
| am 10th to say that Mr. Rarey was somewhat
disappointed in Arabian horses, inasmuch as he
declares them to be understood and inferior to
many horses he has seen in America and England
But he has had no experience in trying their
sreed or endurance, and speaks simply in reference
to their appearance and display when in motion,
his expression of dissatisfaction may be received in
a very qualified sense

ROMANCE OF FIRST LOVE

Some thirty years ago, there lived in the city o
London, an opulent Jewish banker of the name OF
r. As rich men usually have, the subject of the
present sketch had beautiful daughter, rejoicing
in the scriptura name of Sarah. As Sarah reached
the age of womanhood her beauty, and COUPLED
with the fathers wealth, drew to her feet many
suitors; only one, however could gain the prize
and that one was H.; the son of rich Polish
nobleman. But when did the 'course oftrue love
run smooth?" He and his father became mixed
up in one ofthe many revolutions that have occurred
in Poland, their estates confiscated and they
were obliged to fee for their livgs-With the
flight Of Ell s riches r. discovered that his intended
son-in-law wouG not do, and so told the young
people. The lovers separated with vows Of eternal
ccnstancy H. emigrating to this country, and Sarah
remaining in London. But as the copy book says,
'out Of sight out of mind, and so in this case.
The sea had rolled between the lovers for about
year. when rich suitor paid his addresses to Sarah,
who accepted and married him. H. was almost
distracted when he heard the news, but reflection
coming to his aid, he consoled himself by also
marrying. Years passed on; the husband of Sarah
died last year, leaving her widow, penness, and
with eleven children. In the meantime the wife
of H. had died leaving him eight children. When
Il. heard of the abject condition of his first love-
all his old affection returned. He pictured his
Sarah poor, aud with large family dependent uron
her, which resulted in his sending for her and her
children After mutual reiterations of unchanged
affection, the marriage day fixed, and on Sunday
last the parties were married by Jewish minister
They numbered one hundred and four years between
them-the lady being fifty years of age, with
traces of her former great beauty still existing, and
the husband being fifty four years old. The newly
married couple have a grown up familyof nineteen
olive branches to twine around their domestic
hearthstone --

MURDER IN A LEGIsLATURE.-A terrible
tragedy enacted in the California Assembly, a
few days before its adjournment. a member of
the House, named John G. Bell, shot and
stabbed to death, almost in his seat by one DR..
Stone. Stone was a lobby member, attempting to
procure the passage of bill for division of the
county represented by Bell, and to which the
latter was opposed, MIR Bell was in the act of
consultation with another member beyond the bar
of the Assembly, while it was in session, when
Stone came up. denounced Bell as liar, and i'm
mediately began shooting and stabbing him. The
unfortune man was carried away. and died in two
days after. Stone was released on bail. The
Assembly took no notice of the murder. Bell
was from Ohio, and was unarmed. Stone is from
Kentucky. Several circumstances show the act
to have been premeditated.
My dear, what shall we name our baby? said
Mr Dobbs, the other day.

name of Peter that could earn his salt.
