SKELETON OF A MAN FoUND.-Ol

SkELETON OF MAN FOUND.-On
Saturday last Squire Logan, Of Charles,
town, held coroner's inquest over the re.
mains of man found in the woods, in Cole :
Hollow, near Principle Furnace. The body
was that Of white man, and from the state
Of decay it was evident that it had been sew
eral months since death ensued. One of
the jury testified that he had passed near the
place where the body was found, in August
last, and at that time ''smelled something
very offensive" Other parties testified to-
the same effect leaving no doubt that the
remains recently found were then in state
Of decay but the spot where they lay being
dense thickct, they were hidden from view
by the leaves.
The flesh was entirely gone, nothing but
the bones remaining. The coroner describ
ed him as about five feet eight inches in
hight, had on black felt hat black corded
pants, plaid flannel shirt, black satin vest
gray cashmere coat, and coarse boots, near.

death or who he was

THE CATTLE DISEASE.

When blight seizes upon the crops and MUIR
rain upon the cattle, men wonder at the dispen-
sations of Providence, and ask what they have
done to merit the divine displeasure. Europe
at the present time has its fill of affictiops A
dreadful plague has advanced from the East,
with desolation in its footsteps, and is devasta-
ting the cities and plains of Southern Europe.
The growing grain of England will, it is feared,
never come in full crop to the sickle, and worse
than all, mysterious disease has broken out
among beef cattle, which is carrying off the
bovine species with malignity which approaches
in severity the pestilence which threatens the
human race The cattle disease spreads with
rapidly, and it is reducing the wealth of the
farmer with a relentless impartiaty which in
vades alike the barns of the rich and the sheds
of the poor. Thus far it seems to be impossible
to deal successfully with this malady.. Veter-
mary surgeons, without any very correct theory
of the origin or cause of the disease, can only
try experiments upon the unfortunate animals
which come under their notice. They seem to
be in despair, and are wildly ,resorting to all
sorts of supposed ''remedies,' which are readily
administered in the hope that some means may
actually be discovered by which it will be pos
sible to cope with this scourge. SO little real
benefit has been experienced from their efforts
that in many districts all hope of restoring the
animals stricken with the disease has been aban-
doned, and at the first indications of the malig-
nant disorder they are killed, in order TO prevent
the contagion from spreading. This necessity
has caused deep distress among the poor farmers,
with each of whom the possession Of cow is an
insurance to the family against starvation. 1t
is dire necessity which compels the sacrifice Of
SO great treasure, and the pIivation of the most
painful kind. So deep have been the distresses
of the poorer agricultural classes from this source
that measures have been suggested to recon-
pense the sufferers for'their losses, by private
charity The city of London heads subserip-
ton for the purpose of compromising persons
obliged to kill their diseased cattle, with the
sum of $1,000. The nobility and gentry will
come forward literally, and it may be imagined
that there will soon be sufficient money 10 hand
to partially reimburse the losses Of the most
needy, and to mitigate in slight degree the
sufferings caused by the epidemic.
It will be well for us to pay attention ts this
matter in the United States. There is no reason
to hope that we can escape from an importation
of this contagion, and it may ere long be raging
among our own cattle. 1t is the part Of wisdom,
therefore, to study the peculiarities of the NAL
ady, and to be prepared, as we'll as possible, to
meet and contend with it.-Philadelphta In

PROBABLE ABOLITION OF THE FREEDMEN
BuREAu-The President is utterly Disguised with
the Freedmcn's Bureau, which is certainly the
greatest humbug of the age His recent orders,
curtang its powers, and compelling it to abstain
from its wholesale "contscaton" of lands, and
10 restore to the proper owners all estates impro
pery "confscated," will soon be followed by
Others, dsnissing host of officers connected
with it. Sen. Howard leaves here to-day, on a
tour of inspection in Virginia, to examine into the
conduct of the negroes, and to ascertain, by order
of the President, whether the Freedmen's Bureau
may not be discontinued. Il is stated semi
officially, that the Bureau was only created, in
the first instance, as a temporary expedient, to
arrange the difficulties attendant en- the emanci-
patton Of the slaves; but that it has been found
that the negroes universally consider it as a per-
manent institution for their benefit, and by whom
and through whom they are to be forever sup
ported. AS long as the negroes entertain this
idea they will not work; and if they cannot be
asabused of it in any other way, the bureau will
be dissolved. The results of the operations of
the bureau in this district, are enough to shew the
impossibility of inducing the negroes to engage
in honest and profitable voluntary labor. There
are more than $4,000 of them in the vicinity of
this city, and not one out of ten is engaged in
any regular, steady, profitable employment
Nlne-tenths of them get their living by stealing
and plfering, and by practices not fit to be named
on paper. Their vice and RIGHTEOUSNESS not only
brings hundreds of them before the Police Courts,
but also lays the foundations among them of dis
eases that will carry them off this Winter like
rotten sheep. Yeti is to these degraded creatures

A LADY MURDERED BY HER SERVANT

A LADY MURDERED BY HER SERVANT
The Lynch Lar Applied.-Granville Co, N.
G, Sept ls.-A fearful tragedy was enacted
some days since near Buchanan: in this county.
Mrs Par'hepia Harris, wife of Hannah Harris,
was cruelty murdered by negro woman, who
formerly belonged to the family, and still resi-
ded with them. Mrs. Harris was found dead in
her yard, her head having been crushed with i
rock so as to beat out her brains
The woman was arrested on SUSPICION con-
fesscd the deed, and the neiehbors executed
summary punishment upon her by hanging her
to a tree. NP cause was assigned for the act.
The freed negroes here, as elsewhere, are fast
becoming Migrants, continuously changing from
place to place, and but little or no reliance can
be placed upon any contract they make as to
labor.-COr. Of Petersburg Iader.
