above Lynchburg, was destroyed by fire on
"Wednesday night Of last week And on the
following Friday night, Mount Moriah Church,
two miles north of Mulberry village, was also

Church was discovered to be in flames. and
the fire communicating to Charity Academy,

wanton destruction of property naturally crea-

GIFT TO PRESIDENT WALKER-The friends
OF liberal culture who gather at Cambridge
to-day on occasion of the exhibition at Har-
ward College, will be pleased to learn that the
sum OF twelve thousand dollars has been pre-
scented, within a few days past, to Rev. Dr.
Walker, the retiring president of the univer-
sity, by few gentlemen of Boston, who de-
sire, by this addition to his resources, to re.
lieve his mind altogether from cares which
might, perhaps, in some degree prevent him
from spending the remainder of his life in
such pursuits for the benefit ofhi fellow-men,
rather than of advantage to himself, as are
most congenial to his character. The gift
certainly was well deserved, and the quiet and
easy manner in which it was bestowed is cred
liable to the civilization OF the age. 1t was
simply proposed to raise a subscription OF
$1,000, but in few hours the paper was filled
to the amount we have stated, and the thing
was accomplished without exertiOn.

FEMALE LABOR IN PARIs.-The Society
of Christian Morality in Paris, have been en-
ployed in collecting and publishing evidence
relative to female labor, protfering innumera-
bic schemes for their amelioration. a writer
in this society, NJ. Boucher de Perthes, has not
only been theorizing for the '1adies," but has
given practical evidence of his 5enevolence,
by inauguratng at AbbeviIle prize rewards as
encouragement to Ouvrieres. This gentleman
has literally presented to the city the sum of
5OO francs, perpetual and annual, to reward
those female artisans who, by their conduct
and skill, shall most merit recognition. The
recipients of this prize are to be chosen by the
municipal council, assisted by two members of
the Society of Emulation.

CATTLE DISEASE IN ENGLAND.-TheA April
number Of "Ihe Veterinarian, British Jour
nal Of Veterinary Science, has an article on
the necessity Of legislative euactments to limit
the spread of contagious diseases among cattle
The writer speaks of pleuro- pneumonia as the
present pest of English herds, and says that
no correct opinion can be given even of the
number of animals which are the subjects of
that malady at any one time, nor OF its loca.
ton. lie recommends that steps be taken to
register these losses, with view OF their be-
ing made public so that the government
machinery may be set at work to carry into
practice such sanitary measures as are indis-
pensably necessary to preserve the health of
those animals which furnish food and clothing
to the people. That the spread of this disease
Is due to its infectious nature few will be
found to dispute, and this without lessening
any opinion they may entertain of the influence
of secondary causes in its production. We in-
fer that the cattle malady exists in England to
a considerable extent, as the article before us
says 1--WE are continually hearing of its ruin
Gus consequences to individuals" On all
sides, the British editor says, the question is
asked, "what can be done to cure the dis
easel" He adds, "and gloomily are we look
ed upon when we reply, that, as a rule, IL is
incuabe, but that it can equently be prevent
ed and would be so, were sanitary measures
adopted by the legislature to limit the conta-
gion." 1t will be seen by the above statement
that there is perfect agreement between intel
ligent gentlemen on both sides of the Atlantic
in regard to the proper method Of arresting the
spread OF the "pest to herds"

was, OF course, large concourse of people on

have expected on such an occasion. There
was not one cheer, nor did the bystanders take
of their hats as the Royal corteqe passed, with
the exception of the occupants of some of the
balconies. The Royal pair looked sad enough !:

the news from Sicily that morning was surely

A CANARY BIRD HANGING IrsELF-On
Monday, canary bird belonging to a lady OF
this city, as it was flying around the room,
happened to pick up a long hair, and flying
with it to its cage, commenced some evolutions
with il, as though it were about laying the
foundation of nest. By and by the hair
became entangled in its legs, and flying around
the cage, it got it over the perch and then
around its neck The lady, after some time
observing that the usually musical little pet
was silent went to the cage and there found
the little warbler actually suspended by the
neck from its perch, and almost in the agonies
of death. 1t will probably take warning from
its little accident, mot to put on no more
hairs" as Miggs would say.
