MISCELLANEOUS,

The Branch Bank at Charleston, Mississippi
County, Mo-, was opened last week, and the
first depositor was the editor of the Charleston
Courier, who put in $1,000. The editorial de-
positor frankly contesses, however, that if his
debts were paid the deposit would be reduced
to zero.

FATAL CoNTAGIoN AMONG CATTLE.-The
farmers in North Brookfed and vicinity are
losing their stock with alarming rapidity, by
the prevalence of kind of epidemic among
them. The disease was introduced by a calf
purchased from the stock of Mr.. Cheney of
Belmont, who imported thirty last fall. 1t is
stated that he has lost his whole herd by the
same disease. 1t fixes itself upon the lungs,
and produces violent cough, and the lungs
are finally destroyed. Some of the cattle at
tackled with it linger along for weeks; others
die in few days after the attack. None have
recovered. Letters from farmers in North
Brooktield say "the disease is apparently
making clean sweep through the herds in
that section, where it has got foothold. One
man has lost ten head of cattle, and has as
many more sick. Another man has lost seven,
and the best of his herd are sick. In North
Brookfield and New Braintree, the disease is
in five or six herds" The disease has also
entered herds in other parts of the state, some
of which have been nearly exterminated.
Farmers whose cattle are infected are making
earnest inquiry of the secretary of the board
of agriculture and others, with view of as
certaining some remedy for a disease which
threatens to depopulate the farm yards of the
commonwealth.

The Hartford Times of Saturday states that
the President has nominated VIM. D. Ship
man, Esq, of Hartford, to succeed the late
Judge Ingersol, as Judge of the United States
District Court for the district of Connecticut.
This nomination has been sent to the Senate,
and the Times, which is likely to know how
the case stands, says it will be confirmed. No
body will pretend that Mr.. Shipman would be
thought of for this Office, if he were not a
partisan democrat, "sound on the slavery
question" and sure as any other of his school
to endorse whatever decree the slave power
may see fit to promulgate. 1t has been the
constant endeavor of his party to transform
the federal judiciary into partizan machine !;
and they have not failed of success, as the
bred Scott decision bears witness There
are men in Connecticut whose eminent fitness
for the Office of District Judge brings them to
mind at any mention of the vacancy; but
they do not belong to democratic party, and.
therefore, are just as much out of the cues
ton, SO far as the appointing power is con-
cerned, as if they did not belong to the country.

The MASSACHUSETTS CLAIM.-The follow.
ing communication was laid before the House
of Representatives Saturday, and ordered to
be printed -
To the Legislature ofthe State Of Massachusetts,
The undersigned have to-day learned for the
first time that claim had been presented to
your honorable body, embracing items of a
most extraordinary character, among other
things for what is called party debt )" also for
sums paid or promised to lobby agents, and for
services said to have been rendered in procur-
ing from the last Congress the payment on ac-
count of the debt of the United States to Mas
sachusetts.
The undersigned are utterly ignorant of any
circumstances on which such claim can be
founded. Beyond the representatives of Mas
sachusetts in the two houses OF Congress, act
ing according to their official duty, and Mr..
Hanscom, the only authorized agent OF Massa-
chusetts, whose services have already been &C
knowledged, they are not aware that any other
person was employed at that time in promot-
ing the claim of Massachusetts.
| 1t was well known to the undersigned that
| Mr.. George M. Weston represented at that
time the interests of Maine, but it was not
known to them that he was in any way the
agent of Massachusetts. If he or any other
person, acting for themselves, incurred such
extraordinary liabilities as are indicated in the
items of his claim now published to the world,
or indeed, any other liabilities whatever, it
was done wholly without consultation with the
undersigned, and without their knowledge or
even suspicion.
Selfrespect and duty to the commonwealth
seem to require this statement, in which all
the members of the last delegation in Congress
would unquestionably join, were they now
here. HENRY WILSON,

never at his place of business, and did not
know there was such a man in town. Other
witnesses were afflicted with defective memo

The STRIKE IN MILFoRD.-In response to
desperate effort, and, according to the Mil
ford Journal, with the concurrence of the man.
utacturers meeting of the boot bottomers of
that town was held at Union Hail. Friday eve
ming, to discuss the Strike" Some opposi-
ton was expressed to formal rebellion, chief
ly on account of surplus of bottomers, and
through the fear that the strike would fail of
any good results. Others, though unwilling
to urge a strike at the present time, advocated
the plan of fixing tariff of prices, and strik.
ing with the manufacturers for better pay. B.
d. Godfrey, Esq, one of the largest inanufac-
turers in Milford, addressed the meeting, and
was loudly applauded. His sympathies were
with the working men, and he would bid them
God speed in every effort to better their condi.
ton. He had found it hard to compete with
other manufacturers, and had sold his boots at
25 per cent. less than cost, rather than to shut
down and turn his workmen upon the cold
charity of the world.
Suitable committees were appointed, resolu
tons were adopted, and steps initiated for a
conference with the manufacturers, with view
to the enlargement of the prices of labor.
