The Cattle Disease.
Gov. Kirkwood has issued the following

Gov. Kirkwood has issued the following
circular to County Judges and others:
- Iowa CRY, Iowa, June 26, 1860.
SIR:-l have sent to the County Judge.
of your county the following circular
Please consult with him on the subject.
Many of our people entertain great fears
that the cattle disease now doing so much.
damage in some of our Eastern States, will
be brought to this State. The introduction
of that disease here would be great calan1u
ity, and l take the liberty of directing your
attention to the matter with the view that:
steps may be taken for our protection. Per-.
NIT me to suggest ...,
1st-That in case Fair be held in your.
county during the coming fall, that all cat
tie from outside our own State be rigorous,
ly excluded. osg@
2d-That you call at once, public meet
ings in different parts of your county, at
which the danger to be apprehended be fully
explained and the people urged 10 organize
measures of prevention.
3d-That efficient measures be taken to
learn at all Ferries and other points in your
county at which cattle may be introduced
from other States, the places from which
such cattle.have been brought, the proba-
bility for their being diseased, and the point
to which they are to be taken.
4th-That if there shall be reason to be-
lieve that such cattle are diseased, every
lawful means shall be taken to send them
at once out Of the State; and in all cases
that information be promptly forwarded to-
the County Judge or some other suitable
person in each county of the State, to which
cattle from other States are about being ta-
ken. ...r f...r -.
The existence of this disease in the Eas-
tern States was not known at the last ses-
sion of our General Assembly, for which
reason no laws were passed or appropria.
tons made specially for this object; but as
every individual in the State is deeply in
terested In protecting one Of the great Sour.
ceS of our wealth, it is but reasonable to
hope that every one will willingly assume
his proper share of the labor and expense
necessary to that end.
Please inform me as often as convenient
what is being done in your county, in this
matter, and especially desire that in case
the disease makes its appearance in your
county, you will promptly advise me of the
fact.
would also suggest that you at once
| confer personally with the officers of Rail
ROAD Companies aud the owners Of Ferries
in your county On this subject. Very Re-
specially,
SAMUEL j. KIRKWOOD.

The Excursion.
At eight o'clock on the morning of the glo'
rious FOURTH, found myself on board the Ex-
cursion steamer Northern Belle, CAPT. HuRD,
in company with about thirty brace Of Adams
brave sons and Ewes fair daughters.
After strolling through the boat, admiring
its beautiful and elegant decorations, and mu-
sing on the many things which only such day
can suggest, encountered my friend "Gara.
baldi," who, with characteristic thoughtfulness
proposed private excursion to the bar. His
proposition, it is needless to say, was adopted
by reclamation, and we drank rousing old
bumper to the memory of those i1ustrious he.
roes who invented the Fourth Of July. Bum.
per succeeded bumper, like bubbles on the wa
ter, until we were sufficiently full of wine and
independence to justify a pilgrimage to the
ladies'. We discovered the entire party, in
groups of three or four, on the guards, talking
and laughing and singing, and so full of happi.
ness that could hardly realize that they were
not bound for Paradise instead Of Galena. The
young gentlemen were as gallant and gay as
the chevaliers of the olden time, and the ladies
as sweet and rosy as the beautiful Peris of the
East. As we stood surveying with intense de-.
light these young and joyous creatures, and
listening to many an earnest dissertation on
love and matrimony, was forced to acknowl-
edge the truth Of the Poets philosophy:
"Oh, did we take for Heaven above,
But half such pains I, a.. ...

woman in AdyersitY.

Women should be more trusted and conf
ded in as wives, mothers, and sisters. They
have quick perception Of right and wrong,
and, without always knowing why read the
present and future, read characters and acts,
designs and probabilities, where man sees no
letter or sign What else do we mean by the
adage "mother wit save that woman has a
quicker perception and reader invention than
mani How often, when man abandons Ithe
helm in despair, woman seizes it, and carries
the home-ship through the storm Man often
flies from home and family to avoid impend-
ing poverty or ruin. Woman seldom, if ever,
forsook home thus. Woman never evaded
mere temporary calamity by suicide or deser-
ton. The proud banker, rather than live to
see his poverty gazetted, may blow out his
brains and leave wife and children to want,
protectorless. Loving woman would have
counselled him to accept poverty, and live 10
cherish his family and retrieve his fortune
Woman should be counseled and confded
in 1t is the beauty and glory Of her nature
that it instinctively grasps at and clings to the
truth and right Reason, mans greatest fac
ulty, takes time to hesitate before it decides;
hut womans instinct never hesitates in its de-
csion and is scarcely ever wrong where Il
has even chances with reason. Woman feels
where man thinks, acts where he deliberates,
hopes where he despairs and triumphs where
he falls

Nine years ago this fan, a murder was per
petratcd on board the steamer Globe, at Maci-
nae The murderer was man named Edward
MURPHY who was coming OH board the Globe
from Detroit to this city. While the Steamer
was lying at Macinac, Murphy went into the
engine room, and in some manner interfered
with the machinery The first engineer, a
Mr. Robbins, ordered him 10 desist, and push
ed him away, when Murphy drew knife and
plunged il to the hilt into Robbins heart
The second engineer, Thomas Cummings
attempted to lay hold of Murphy, who how
yer, making desperate stab at him with his
knife which cut open his side, jumped from the
boat and on to another steamer Here he was
knocked down, receiving terrible cash on
the side of his head, and also having his Jaw
split open by the boot Of an Englshman who
assisted in his capture.
Murphy was taken to Detroit, and there con
fined in jail for FIVE months At the expira-
ton Of this time he made his escape, and has
since not been heard of until yesterday after
noon, when he was recognized in the person
of convict in our City Bridewell by Mr.. Cum
mings, who is on the police force of this city.
Officer Cummings Immediately swore out
warrant for Murphy arrest, when he was taken
before Justice Akin, and informed of the
charge against him. He utterly denied it, and
said he had never been on the lakes-after-
wards contradicting this, however, by stating
that he went from Detroit TO Macnac in 1851,
the year the murder was committed Officer
Cummings was positive in his Identification Of
the man. He recognized him, not only by his
countenance, but by the scars upon the side Of
his face, and his chin, made by the wounds in
aicted upon him at the time ofhis capture after
the murder
Justice Akin committed Murphy to Jail, to
await requsition from the Governor Of Mich
gan, and officer Cummings, started last night
for Detroit TO see the jailor who had the Gus
tody of Murphy for FIVE months, nine years
ago and to ascertain whether he and others
in Detroit would remember him. Chicago
