The current year will be marked by events

In the course of the year, the people of the
State will be called upon to determine whether
the Republican party, which thus early in its
existence as majority, has demonstrated its
incompetency to manage political affairs, shall
be perpetuated through another Legislature, or
whether it shall be overthrow, and the safe,

The town of Madison, in Lake County,
has been thrown into great excitement by
the elopement of white woman and full
bIooded negro, which occurrence took place
on Sunday night last. The lady is about
thirty>years old, of more than ordinary In
telligence and of very fair appearance.
Her husband is one of the wealthiest far
mers in Lake county. We suppress his
name, as the affair has nearly driven him
mad.
About year ago he employed FULL
blooded negro. An Abolitionst of the
Gerrit Smith school, the farmer took the
African into his family on terms of perfect
equality. Of late he has noticed, with
feelings which we need not attempt to
describe, a growing itimacy between his
wife and the negro. He spoke to her about
it, but she succeeded in quoting his suspi>
cions for time. On Sunday night she
arose from bed, leaving her husband asleep,
and fled with the African. Strangely
enough, they did not leave the county, or
the town even, only going some FIVE miles
from the Woman's late home. There they
sought shelter at the house of some friends
of hers, and there they were at last ac-
counts The woman left her young child
with its father.
There is talk of riding the negro on q
rail, and great excitement prevails. The
woman assumes a bold face, and says she
has perfect right to run away with negro
if she wants to, no mattrr if he be as black
as the ace of spades.
An Abolition sentiment and an Abolition
literature has prevailed in the farmer s
house for years. This elopement is the
legitimate result.-Cleueland Plaindealer,
26M.
The circumstance carries with it moral
peculiarly its own. The "irrepressible con-
fict is just developing.

The Cattle Disease i'm Massachusetts.
On Thursday last special meeting OF
the Governor and Council was held in Bos-
ton, at the instance of petitions from large
numbers of the people Of the State, praying
that an extra session of the Legislature
might be called to take such action as they
should deem proper to eradicate the disease
among cattle. The members of the Council
were unanimously in favor of calling the
Legislature together, and Governor BANKS
then issued his proclamation, ordering an
extra session to open on Both ult.
The Courier reports the spread of the
disease as follows: s. e
On Tuesday of this week, Commissioners
Lathrop and LoriDg killed at Hubbardston
Center COW belonging to Gilbert Brown,
which had been exposed to disease by spend
ing night in the barn with yoke ofoxen
driven from North Brook6eld by William
Fallum. In going to and returning from
pasture she has probably infected some
seventeen head, as the oxen, when killed
were found to be badly diseased. I. Wednes-
day, four oxen, the property of B. w.
Deane, of North Brookheld, also yoke of
oxen belonging to William II. Ayres, of the
same town, were killed. They were the last
of herds of thirty each, and exhibited de-
cided marks of disease.

SITTING UP WITH THE CoRPsE.-Our ven

Point, and A. P. Swineford, who was in
that rabid anti-Douglas paper, the La Crosse
Daily Union and Democrat, till the irre>
preside conflict between him and Brick
Pomeroy sprung up, have gone on a" So
Letting pilgrimage" to Washington. Their
object is to raise funds from j. B. to start
an Administration paper in this city.
Inasmuch as the pressure Of public opinion
has driven them both from their respective
papers, which have both in turn become
Douglas sheets, we admire their pluck more
than their discretion, in Sitting up with the
corpse If old Buck is soft enough to
shell out, which we doubt, they will be two
very foolish men to embark in such an en-.
terprise in this city or State. 1t has been
tried before. Unless they have dead-head
tickets, somebody we know of will be out oil
