B5y" The Rinderpest, the caIle diseate
that has been so fearfully fatal in Europe
during the last year, is said to have appeared
in this country. DR.. Hiram Corson, of Mont
gomery county. q gentleman eff high charac-
ter and attachments and who has gives con-
siderable attention to agriculture and stock
growing, sent letter to Senator Worthington
in which he stated that the Rinderpesi has
appeared in his immediate section, and has
been fatal in almost every instance. He ha S
called the attention of the County Medical
and Agricultural societies to the fact, and on
Mr.. Worhington's motion special committee
ofthe Senate, consisting of Messrs. Worthing-
ton, Graham, Connell, James and Glatz, has
been appointed to make inquiry and report
on the subject to the Senate. We shall thus
have, we trust, n careful examination into the
character and tendency of this disease, and If
it shall prove to be lhe cattle disease that has
been SO fatal in England, the most stringent
measures will be taken to arrest its spread
throughout the country. We shall await
with great anxiety the result of the hives

AN IMMENSE EMIGRATION.

An immense emigration will pour into the
Southern States with the restoration OF peace.
Thousands of southern refugees from all the
towns and cities Of the North will return

closest bonds of union, among their southern
Brethren; and, in obedience to the laws oi
demand and supply, thousands OF northern
farmers. mechanics, and laborcrs, wall swell

of some of the editors Of Republican papers
in various parts of the State for meeting of
publishers TO take place at Harrisburg about
the time Of the State Convention, for the pur-
pose of considering matters connected with

Of It, and shall endeavor to be present.
Further we think it would be good idea for
all publishers. of whatever party, to meet at
Harrisburg on the 9th to devise means of

uponus by Puper- deafers. We are now pay
ing more for paper than we did any time
during the war and can see no necessity for
the contlnued high prices.

to have good record for patriotism and en-
titles them to favor and commendation.

BGJ~ We hear a rumor that a man named
Chappell, living on Pine Creek, was killed a
few weeks ago, by his son and another young
man, but know of nothing certain connected
with the murder 1t appears that the young
men came home drunk, got into difficulty
with the old man who did not sustain very
high character for scberaess, pounded him,
and thinking they had killed him, fed the
country. A day or two after the old man
died and was buried, but it is said, denied,
before his death, that his son had injured
him. No doub' foul play was practised but
tine charaC.er of the parties is such that the
people in the neghbOrhood do not seem to
concern themselves much about it.

SARATOGA WATER.

1t is our misfortune that there is natural
desire and physical necessity for drink diff
ferent from that which Nature evidently in
tended. This is not because Of any extrinsic
causes but of mistakes connected with our
habit of living and which are handed down
from father to child. Our coffee and tea are
evidences of this truth, and the recognition Of
it has been urged as an excuse for those who
forget manhood and become wine bibbers."
But these simply act as stimulants, and do
not give the system more healthy action nor
prepare it in auy greater degree to combat
the evils of our present "fast living" but in
great measure serve to increase them. We
publish below two letters from gentlemen who
are known personally or by reputation to every
intelligent American, giving :heir opinion OF
the value of Saratoga Water. 1t is not new
thing it hes been in use for more than halta
century drank by people ofall nations, whose
test imony is harmonious as to its medicinal
properties and cures effected by its use are
numerous and well-known. Our reasons Tor
noticing it at this time are these Heretofore
its sale has been confined to the Springs and
our large cities, but lately its control has
passed into the hands of a new party who are
determined that it shall be within the reach
of all who wish to test its healing and
strengthening qualities. Messrs. IloTcHKIss
Il Sons. of New York, are preparing to ship
it. not only to all parts Of the United States,
but to all parts Of the world and it will not
be &. great while before its sale will be lin
tied only by the commerce CT our country.
