The New Cattle Disease.

The farmers in Dutchess county are
in great excitement over the appearance
of peculiar disease which is affecting
and killing the cattle in that vicinity.
They have but little trouble in finding
where the originally y-diseased cattle came
from the difficulty is to tell what the
new epidemic is, and how to get rid of
it. II appears that thirteen steers and
into Pawling and kept in one of the
cattle-yards over night The next day
the oxen were sold to farmer in the
neighborhood. About four days after
they were taken to their new home, the
oxen were taken suddenly sick their
tongues commenced TO swell, water ran
from their mouths, their hoofs began to
rot, and their appetite vanished. They
We're not considered to be iii a critical
condition nevertheless, they were ap-
parently failing daily. Soon after it was
noticed that their ailment had been i'm
parted to other cattle on the farm, and
now thirty -onC head are afflicted in the
same manner, most of them milch cows.
Some of the cattle on the neighboring
farms are also down with the disease
anu " MI dppedTdncts Tue nhlduy is
spreading fast and threatens to produce
very disastrous results We do not
know that any proof exists that the orig
inal owner of the diseased cattle knew of
their condition at the time that he sold
them. 1t ought to be a warning, how
ever, to farmers not to purchase strange
cattle from any but the most responsible
parties Such an instance as that which
we have reported from Dutchess county,
is one in which the whole community
suffers. An unscrupulous man sold the
diseased cattle in the first place there
are very many who will have no more
scruples in selling their stock to the
butcher upon the slightest appearance of
the disease, and in that way poisoned
meat will be distributed throughout the
community. Stringent laws should be
passed to prevent the sale of diseased
cattle, whether alive or dead, and he who
would deliberately sell diseased beast
ought to be punished as severely as they
are punished who are detected in selling
infectious clothes or goods -B,sfdio

How the Bavarians Live on the'COuntry,

Herr Wachenhusen states the Bava-
rians and Prussians fraternize most cor
daily, and during the whole clmpaign
he has not head of single misunder-
standing between them. The Bavarians
pay great attention to the material side
of life, and with their anxiety for the
mendge they are terror to the French
peasants. In village lies, perhaps,
already a battalion of North German
troops, All is still and quiet in the
PEASANTS cottages. The soldiers are
polishing their boots, stand in the open
kitchens, and wash their shirts and peal
their potatoes.
A Bavarian column comes along the
road, and suddenly there is great COM
motion in the village The hens cackle,
the cocks crow, the ducks and geese cry
out for help. A few minutes afterwards
all is again still, but no cock crows, no
ducks quacks any more, the inhabitants
wiring their hands over the cnt-off heads
of their fowls which the column has left
behind. All hope abandon, | exclaim
whenever / come through a village in
which | see the Bavarians cantoned.
Their philosophy, however, is the right
one, and | expressly guard myself
against the suspicion of meaning any
disparagement
The Bavarians are the true war phil
osophers "A In Querre conme n III
g'1e're' People should not begin a war
if they do not like its disadvantages.
Since the cold has set we see the Bava-
rians marching in their winter costume.
Every garment that gives warmth is
welcome to them. They have discover
ed an excellent hold in the grayish blue
capotes of the fallen Zouaves and lager,
whose heirs they have thus become.
One fancies it is a French battalion on
seeing the gray hoofs.

The Lewlstown (Illinois) Union re-
ports that the daughter of gentleman
in the southern part of Fulton county,
lately found her hair rapidly coming
out, and was also troubled with continu-
GUS itching on the back part of her head
Upon examination of her scalp, beneath
the chignon, it was found to be covered
with black insects about the size of a
grain of wheat, which had eaten into
her head and down her neck III most
fnghtful manner. Says the Union
This head gear is made of sea moss,
and it is supposed TO contain the eggs of
an insect, which were incubated by the
warmth of the head The vermin were
at last removed, though not without
trouble and pain The case was at first
reported to be critical, but later we learn
that the lady is recovering She will,
however, lose all the hair which gro

I'VE seem here in the midst of bal

tunes are to be seen. Children. at most
l6 years old, are camping in the mud of
the fields, scarcely covered with a thin
blue blouse, like those worn by carriers.

all dress unlike each other. The Mobiles.

escaped from the Prussians al sedan and
Metz hospital attendants, with the red

careles, number of women and children,
who wander through the fields, in order
to avoid the enemy-such is the picture
which presents itself to me"

A notable instance of official stupidity
occurred in st. Louis few days ago
A building which contained a large
quantity Of whiskey, and joined the post
Office, was on fire, and some one sug-
gcsted to the Postmaster, who happened
to be the only United States official on
the spot, the propriety of sending force
to remove the whiskey, and thereby save
the post-ofice from destruction The
latter declined to interfere in the matter,
except by official order, and actually
telcgraphed for instructions to the Su-
pervising Architect Of the Treasury at
Washington.
