The CATTLE EPIDEMIc.-The commissioners on
the cattle disease have been engaged since Tuesday
in North Brookfeld and vicinity, with much activ-
ity. The slaughter commenced on Wednesday. In
the town OF New Braintree they killed the herd of
Alden Woods, consisting of grade Durhams, TWEEN
tyone of them full grown, and eight or ten calves
The herd of A. A Needham, originally consisting
of thirty head was also sacrificed. On Thursday,
the commissioners accompanied by Drs w oodward,
Bates, Clark and Hubon of th city, caused twelve
picked animals, of the herd of Leonard StOddard
in North Brookield, to be slaughtered-representing
every stage the disease In the cases called re-
cent, there was not one of pleuropneumonia.
The disease originally seemed to be gobular pneu-
monia, the affection of the pIeura coming on as a
secondary symptom. III the afternoon, Mr., Com
missioner Walker, DR.. Bates of Worcester, DIR.
Brock of Springfield and DR.. Thayer the veterinary
surgeon of Newton, went to South Brookfield on a
tour of Investigation; but the result is not yet
known. 1t was stated, Thursday morning, by one Of
the commissioners, that he had heard of four hun
bred diseased cattle in that locality, not before re-
ported.

i CURIOUS STORY.

TIE folio ying incident not altogether i'm probable, is narrated in several French papers:
 The son of a wealthy merchant of Lyons, named Bodri. was sent at the age of twenty two years to Paris, with letters of recommend dation to the correspondent of his fathers house who did not know him personally. Furnished with ample funds to pass some time very a9reeably at the Capital, he took with ljm one of his intimate friends. as young and gay as himself Arriving in Paris. Mir Bodri was attacked with severe fever his friend at first remained to take care of him. but after some days llr. Bodri insisted that he should have some enjoyment, and yielding to his companions pressing invitation, the young man, who had no acquaintance in the Capital decided to make q visit. under the namc of Nr. Bodri. to the house of the cor respondent Of the lattors father; te would there find pleasant society, and shortly after the two friends would go together and explain the cause. Thanks to the letters of rccom- mendatioa the invalid had, and which he handed to his substitute. the latter was rc- Ceiyed in the most hattering manner and passed merry evening, and, although some what embarrassed, found means to please all in playing his part to perfection but when he returned to his friend, he found him in an alarming condition; the fever had maderapid progress; and in spite of his unceasing atten- tions, continued even when hope was gone, the sick man expired in a few hours.
 Although much grieved, the young Lyon nesc soon comprehended the awkwardncss of his position. It was indispensable that the correspondent at whose house he had spent so pleasant an evening" should be informed of the calamity But how could he be able to face him How explain the interposition of using his friends name without being shame fully compromised? It was impossible how ever, to avoid inviting the correspondent to the funeral ceremonies on the following day. This uncertainty lasted during the day, but in the evening an original idea. foolish perhaps. presented itself to his mind he seized upon it, put an end to his hesitation, and executed it immediately.
 Pale, haggard with grief, lancuid from fa- tigue, clothed in black, and disordered he presented himself about ten o'clock at night at the house of the correspondent. "Vhat misfortune has happened to you?" asked he hastily The greatest of all, sir" answered the young man. died this morning, and came to invite you to my funeral, which will take place tomorrow morning." At these words all were ast0unded, and the youngman took advantage of it to escape without being perceived. They reflected, they counselled together, and it was decided that young Bodri had become insane. The following day the correspondent, with his son, set out to lend their succors in case he should need them, but on arriving they found the hearse before the door. Much agitated they hastened away to communicate their fears to their family.

legislation they had no right to be legislators, and they ought therefore die or resign [Laughter.] Having now discussed, ne feared at undue length, these two essential qualities of statesmanship, patriotism and Tn, teoritv he deemed 1t unnecessary to dwell particularly upon any other qualities named in his opening, and he would therefore touch them rapidly.
 Our public men were, if anything more de- fcient in moral courage than in patriotism and honesty. There wa little or no manllness ln tie councils of the )untry. Inconsistency ot purpose was the bale of our stateslnen II there was no other screw loose, this was alone sufficient to subject them to shame in the eyes of the world. In the matter of eloquence he admitted that our statesmen were great ct, this eloquence, in the main, lacked conYlnc- ing power, copiously brilliant as It was. Inc elo0uenee of our statesmen was Clceronlan, rather than Demosthenian. Thus, however brilliant they were as speakers, they were Wo- fully deficient in the art of persuaslveness, and he believed there was more power Tn the mute integrity of an honest man i'll Congress thanin all its eloquence. There were compar- atiye}v few of our statesmen who understood that their profession was a science as well as an art. But few of them had any adequate knowledge of the laws of nations, or diploma cy. Compared with the statesmen of any other first rate nation, ours were the merest tvros. the most utter ignoramuses, and sue oeeded. when they did succeed at all, like the quack practitioner of medicine, by the charl- ty of nature In short, our socalled states manship was political charatansm and hum- buggery And if the American people ever expected to improve upon this state ofthinss, they must educate generation of statesmen. Let them do this and all would be we'll and do it they must, or perish as a nation.
 But he was done. He had told some plain, perhaps bitter truths; but he had been hon. est 1t might be more pleasing to assure his audience that all was moving smoothly and elorously on but if he did, he should be guilty of treason to his own soul and to them We were encompassed by the most threaten ing dangers. Already the gangrene was making its appearance upon our political car cass and unless there was intcrpostlon on the part of God or the people, the end must be speedy and disastrous On the other hand however. if we were but true to ourselves, this country would become an oasis in the desert of nations, and d refuge for all who would es- cape from anarchy and despotism

WRITTEN BY \. P. WILLIS.

She had been told that God made all the stars That twinkled up in heaven. and now she stood Watching the coming of twilight on, As if it were a new and perfect world, And this were its first eve. How beautiful Must be the work of Nature toe child In its first fresh impression. Laura stood By the low window. with the silken lash Of her soft eye upraised, and her sweet mouth Half parted with the new and strange delight Of beauty that she could not comprehend, And had not seen before. The purple folds Of the low sunset clouds, and the blue sky That looked so still and delicate above, Filled her young heart with gladness, and the eve Stole on with its deep shadows and she still Stood looking at the west with that half smile, As if a pleasant thought were at her heart. Presently, in the edge of the last tint Of sunset, where the blue was melted in
 To first golden mellowness, a star
 Stood suddenly. 4 laugh of wild delight Burst from her lips, and, putting up her hands, Her simple thought broke forth eEpressiyely- "Father, dear father, God has made a star.'

POTATO CRoP.-The potato crop of Iowa, for the present year, is reported to be truly astonishing. The yield in some instances comes upto 400 and 300 bushels to the acre, and the general average is not much less than 200. The quality of the potato is better than usual and far exceeds the best raised in any country we have ever visited. It is not un- common to find them weighing pound each, and some that we have seen weighed three, four and five pounds. Not a sign of rot or impefection has been discovered. So plenty and cheap are they, that for the past week many loads have sold at ten cents per bushel No danger of starving in Iowa at these figures.
