CATTLE DISEASE IN ILLINOIs.-CHI-
CAGO, May 23.-A terribly fatal dis
ease is now raging among the cattle
in some portions Of this State. Over
100 head have fallen victims to it
within the past few days. 1t usually
kills in few hours. No premonitory
warnings are given, and although the
skill in possession of ordinary practi-
TONERS has been brought to bear up
on it, it yields to no remedy or treat
ment, and is fatal in every instance.
Its name and nature has not yet been
determined.
The Crop PROsPECTs.-The De-
partment Of Agriculture has published
a statement Of the condition of the
crops throughout the country. The
winter MO- unusually favorable to fall
sown wheat, and there are but few
exceptions to the generally very en-
couraging accounts from all the North
ern States. Spring wheat also prom
ises well. In Kentucky there is con
siderable complaint of winter killing
Of the fall sown wheat, and the same
is true OF Virginia, South Carolina
and Tennessee. Later Intelligence
from these States, published by the
local press, represents The wheat pros
pect as excellent. Further South re-
ports favor an abundant harvest.
The Kingston &C. W. News says
the accounts from all parts of Canada
5 respecting the crops are most favora-
: BILE. The breadth of wheat sown
| last autumn was unusually large, and
1 there is less winter-killed than has
: been known for many years. Of
S spring wheat there has been a consid-
} cradle quantity sown, and it is com
: ing up in very promising manner

BUSINESS IN n. Y.-Burleigh, the
New York correspondent of the BoS-
ton Journal, says that business was
never more dull. Thousands are out
of employment. Rents are coming
down. Importers instead of sending
abroad for goods, can buy them cheap
er at our auctions where men are
forced to sell. Yet trades are on
strike ON all sides. Bakers, cabinet
makers, carpenters, and other mechan-
les are parading our streets with
bands of music, holding nightly meet
ings and demanding higher wages
while clerks, book-keepers and sales
men out Of employ, would thankfully
take ten dollars week. Carpenters
and masons are demanding six dollars
day and are going to ask more than
that. OF course there is no building
going on that can possibly beavolded.

that he was taken prisoner and had
been kept by them ever since.
