Cattle Disease
of a very rare character has appeared in the
town of Shrewsbury in this State. One of the
animals killed developed an healthy external ap-
pearance of lungs, but on cutting, the bronchial
tubes were found to be filled with minute thread
like worms, so numerous as to obstruct these
tubes throughout their extent, and thus render
respiration impossible. These worms resemble
fine white threads cut in two lengths varying
from to inches, invested with life, and forced
promiscuously into the air-passages of the lungs.

A New York paper gives the follow.
ing melancholy account of what occur
red to young lady who experimental
with patent hair dye.
A painful catastrophe has occurred
in New York. A beautiful damsel, with
all the charms of maidenhood, unfortu-
nately had black hair. Female vanity
and. Nib.o's Theatre taught her that
blonde woul! be more attractive, SO
She rushed 70 the dye pot The ar
list was engaged for 500, halfin adj
vance. Qne side If. the turbulent da:k
hair was smoothed iato golden ripples,.
when the hair dresser, to increase his
profit, resorted to inferior drugs. The
effect was disastrous. Purple and strek-
ed, and grey and burned, and, indeed
utte'ly ruinous, was the last half of the.
professors work. There remained for
the broken hearted semi blond, only Che
poor consolation ofsaing for damages. .

HowSMALL EXPENDITURES COUNT.
Five cents each morning. A mere
triae. Thirty-Gve cents per week.
Not much, yet it would buy coffee or
sugar for whole family. SlS.25 a
year. And this amount invested in a
savings bank at the end Of each year,
and the interest thereon at six per cent.
computed annually, would in twelve
years amount to S670. Enough to buy
good farm in the West.
Five cents before break fast, dinner,
and supper; you'd hardly miss it, yet
tits fifteen cents dny; Sl.05 per week.
Enc ugh to buy wife or daughter a
tress. $3.50 year. Enough to buy
a small library of books. Invest this as
before, and in twenty years you would
have over $4,000. Quite enough to
buy good house and lot.
Ten cents each morning; hardly
worth second thought; yet you can
buy paper of pins on spool of thread.
Several yards of muslins. $3.50 in
one year. Deposit this amount as be-
fore, and you would have Sl,340 in
twenty years; quite snug little for
tune. Ten cents before each breakfast,
dinner and supper-thirty cents day.
1t would buy book for the children.
S2.l0 week; enough to pay for years
subscription to good newspaper. SlO9.
20 per year. With it you could buy
good melodeon on which your wife or
daughter could produce sweet music to
pleasantly while the evening hours a.
way. And this amount, invested as
before, would in forty years produce the
desirable amount Sl2, 900.
Boys, learn lesson. If you would
be a happy youth, lead sober life, and
be wealthy and influential man-in-
stead Of squandering your extra change,
invest in library or sauings bank.
Ifyou would be miserable youth,
lead drunken life, abuse your children,
grieve your wife, be wretched and
despicable being while you live, and f.
nally 60 down to dishonerable grave
take your extra change and invest it
in a drinking saloon.

cnrse, and that while we favor the pay
ment of our present Indebtedness ac-
cordlng to the strict letter of the con-
tract (meansng greenbacks) we would
rather repudiate the same than see it
made the means for the establishment
of an empire upon the ruins Of consti-
tutiional law and liberty.
Here we have reputation fenced
about with conditions and contingencies;
but the word is there, and unless Con-
gress at the approaching session shall
do something with our abundant re-
sources to tighten very materially our
burden of taxes, and to open a.sway,.
visible to the naked eye, fer an early
extinguishment of the national debt, We
shall hear this dreadful word reputation
more distinctly and more widely pro-
nounced by the democracy than they
speak it now. The Iowa democrats
looking evidently to the square issue,
by and by, Of reputation; and at the
same time they appear to have given up
the battle on "the almighty Niger"
for resolution offered in Che Conven-
tion on the fifteenth amendment was
laid on the table. In no two States 80.
far do the democrats agree upon their
platform for the future; but on the mo-
ney question they are, by a Kind Of
natural law of gravitation, drifting to a
common ground; and this general move
mcnt will lose or gather strength ac-
cording to the folly or wisdnm of the
party in power in the management Of
the great money question. ~

TIE WAY TIE MONEY GoEs.-The
State census appears to be but another
expedient for filing the pockets Of the
Radical understrappecs, black and white,
with the peoples money. BY the 9th
section of Gan act to provide for the
enumeration of the inhabitants of the
State," the census taker receives as
compensation for his services, five dollars
per day, and his assistants four dollars
per day, while actually employed. The
Georgetown Times informs us that it
took three assistants five days to take the
census at North and South Islands, which
at twelve dollars, makes the comfortable
little sum of sixty dollars, or more than
three dollprs for each head Of family
visited. The Times pertinently asks !:
"Can the chief census taGer tell us why
it was necessary for all three of his as
sistants to wait at one time on the head
Of each family on South Island? Could
not the same object be accomplished by
one competent assistant, and eight dol
lars per day saved to the State?'

"LET US HAVE PEACE"

On Friday morning. last, as we learn
from the Augusta Chronicle & Serti-
mel, the people Of the quiet village of
Edgefeld were surprised by the arri-
val OF a large body Of Gen. SCOTS mill
tia, under the command of the notori-
Gus Hubbard, State Constable, the fit
instrument for doing Gov. Scott's dirty
work. Our time and space prevent US
from giving more than brief abstract
of the affair. Meeting with no resis
tance, the troops took peaceablc pos
session. Their first move was to dia-
charge the jailor and place guard
around the premises, while Hubbard
entered the building to engage in his
favorite employment of torturing three
or four prisoners charged with killing
two negroes and lyuching Eisenberger

HOW THE TROUBLE ORIGINATED.
Some weeks since there was murder
committed in the county, and two ne
groes we're the victims. Though ne
proof was obtained as to who were tht
