There is much reason to hope that this fatal
disease has been extinguished in this county,
as no active case of it has been seen for some
months but the recent developments at Bel
mont should induce all concerted to practice
the greatest caution, since, if any animal has
ever been fairly exposed to the contagion,
there is no certainty it may not have it, how
ever well and thrifty he may appear
Of the six head killed at Belmont last Tues
Gay, under the direction OF the medical
commission, three calves that have come
since the disease was at its greatest height
| there, were found sound one animal twenty
months Old had dark and unusual spots of bron-
| chial inflammation, while two cows were de-
cidedly diseased.
The COW Victoria was brought up to High
| land farm, where the disease has been from
the first, to be killed. Her left lung was great
ly enlarged, and an opening was found to be
filled with nodules, from the size of walnut
to that of a goose egg, 1t was mass of dis
ease, and there was beside an external tumor
some twelve inches long by fur thick.
| Now as this COW had never been at the III
fected farm, how came she thus diseased On
| inquiry it was aScertained that another cow
named Princess had been taken from the
Highland farm 10 the barn where the
Victoria was kept The Princess was there
fore sent for, and, on being killed, presented
the same general appearance as the Victoria,
only not i'll quite so severe degree. The con-
cusion seemed irresistible that the Victoria
took the disease from the Princess Another
fact OF some interest was that neither COW had
| ever been apparently sick. DIR, Thayer long
ago noticed that Victoria had some difficulty
of breathing, but, as she had broken rib, it
was thought possible that might occasion the
disturbance. She was beside in rather poor
condition. The Princess, on the other hand,
never showed any signs OF being unwell, and
was in a thriving state generally.
Seventeen head out of Mr.. Chenery's herd
have now been disposed of by the medical com
mission, and at least eight have proved diseas
ed on examination though all were regarded
by the owner as sound
Every one can draw his own conclusion
from these facts, and judge for himself as TO
the safety OF iyeT7lng that animals that haye
been exposed are sale and sound because they
show no present symptoms OF disease.
NoTE.-These two cases show that an ami.
NAL may have the disease, without showing
marked symptoms of it, and that such an ami
NAL may communicate the disease to others.
We think that if Mr.. Bird will re-examine DR..
Martins card. he will see that there is in it
no assumption OF propagating period of ten
to sixteen months" but "tlat some unobserv-
ed mild cases may nrU be passing through the
the tenth or twentieth remove from the original
case imported into Mr.. Chenury's herd, in
May, 1859.

Depnrture of the Prince.

The Prince of Walee went from Boston to
Portland, Saturday, and, alter passing few
hours in that city, took his departure for En-
gland. We have the following account of the
embarkation -
The procession proceeded through several
of tie prominent streets to the Victoria
wharyes, which were built for the Great East
crn where the royal barge was waiting, and at
quarter past three o'clock, the military pre-.
scnting arms, the prince prepared to embark.
After shaking hands cordially with Lord
Lyons, the mayor, British consul, and Others,
the prince entered the royal barge which left
the wharf, the British squadron firing a royal
salute of twenty -one guns. Similar salutes
were fired from the city and from Fort Preble.
The harbor was full of steamers, sail boats,
barges, etc, that accompanied the royal barge,
which was surrounded by boats from the royal
squadron filled with British officers. There
was a fresh easterly breeze blowing, and the
water in the harbor was quite rough, so that
the boats were rowed slowly. As the t1otilla
neared the royal squadron, the yards were
manned. and this, with strings of bunting and
flags flying from every point, formed magni-
flcent spectacle, which was witnessed by an
immense concourse of people, assembled on
MuW0y, the various piers, and every accessi-
BILE place, as the royal party passed the various
vessels OF the squadron.
When the prince reached the Hero at ten
minutes before four o'clock the royal standard
was run up and another salute was fired by
all the fleet. The rigging of each vessel vas
instantly stripped of the bunting, the sailors
disappeared from aloft, and at 4.30 the squad.
ron sailed, steamng out of the harbor, the
Hero leading off, followed by the Nile, the
Ariadne, the Flying Fish, and the Styx, salut
The ROYAL squadron will steam only long
enough to clear the land, and the remainder
of the voyage will be made under sail. The
Nile and the Styx will leave the squadron Oft

DARING MURDER IN KILLINGLY.-On
Thursday night, Martin Cuff in the employ
of Messrs S. & Ii. Sayes of Dayville, was
brutally murdered at KilIingy Center, by hav,
ing his throat cut from ear to ear. The deed
was committed at the house of James Cuff, a
relative of the deceased. 1t appears that on
the night in question, Martin and james, with
a small child occupied bed together in Il
room at some distance from that occupied by
James Cuff wife and children, who were the
only other occupants OF the house. About d
O'Clock James informed his wife that some one
had entered the house and murdered Martin
She commenced screaming, but Eer husband
ordered her to be quiet, and she remained in
bed through fear, while me went out to
obtain some assistance When the neigh
bors arrived, the body was already stiff and
James Cuffs statement was that he was awak.
ened by the child ard on looking over saw
that Martin had been murdered, and caught
a glimpse OF man going Sut OF the door.
Upon being cross questioned he gave very
unsatisfactory account OF the affair He did
not know where his razor was, or whether the
handle was black or white, and made many
confused statements which served to tasten
suspicion upon himself. Finally, after long
examination, he confessed to being the MUIR
derer. He had some dispute with Martin on
the previous day, and in the night he got up
and forcing Martins head over the side of the
bod, deliberately cut his throat with razor
the blood falling in a p0ot upon the floor
