are not so sure as on the other particulars of
this narrative.
All the arrangements being soon ended, at
just seven minutes past two o'clock A. NJ, on
the morning of last Sunday week, Isaac V.
Fowler, leaning on the arms of his friends,
Messrs. B. and T., took final leave las resi-
dent of the New York Hotel; and by eight
O'Clock on Sunday morning, when Rynders
again called, the rooms which he occupied and
had so filed with objects of art and curiosity,
were desolate and bare. All the books, pic
lures and bronzes were removed; the many
presents made to Mr.. Fowler by female and
other friends no longer were Uttered round the
table in that admired confusion which had so
often arrested the eye of visitors. Rynders
found only naked walls and ordinary hotel
furniture-the clerk announcing to all ques-
TONERS that ''no such gentleman as l. V. Fow-
Ter boards at this hotel"
Whittier Mr.. Fowler was taken in the car
riage by Messrs. B. and T., it would not be in
good taste to state. He was, however, well
taken care of and suffered but little restraint
his luXuriant black whiskers having been
shaved off on Sunday morning, and pair of
gold spectacles completely altering his appear
ance whenever placed in any situation where
those not in his immediate confidence could
see him. This necessity of disguise must in
itself have proved to a man OF his personal
pride terrible, almost compensatng, punish
ment. But that is all over now, and we be-
lieye he is safe out of the country.

On Saturday, Commissioner Latlrop went
to Spencer and examined COW of Mr. Gains,
from the herd of E. d. Knights, in North
Brookfeld, exhibiting symptoms of the mala-
dy. The animal was killed and found to be
strongly marked with the prevailing disease.
Commissioner Walker, by invitation, attended
injecting of the Worcester South Agricultur
al Society, at Sturbridge, on Saturday, called
to consider the same subject. Mr.. Walker
spoke at length, detailing the facts in the case
what the commissioners had done, and stating
what in his opinion was needed to eradicate
the evil. AT the close of the meeting, a reso-
luton was unanimously passed, approving the
course of the commissioners, and memorable.
ing the Legislature for an efficient law for the
extirpation of the disease.
The members of the Worcester Agricultural
Society meet at Agricultural Hall tomorrow,
at 10 A. NJ, to consult upon the best methods
of treating the disease.

The petition of the Worcester Farmers

others, for gas lamp on the corner of Elm
and West streets, and of VIM. A. Hacker and

ing considerable controversy between the
two Boards, as to the time of adjournment,

and the Common Council six weeks. Each
branch adhered to its own proposition, till the
matter was compromised by appointing four
weeks, to which time both boards agreed to
adjourn
