THE Dubuque Times, Of Thurs
day, notices the excursion party
from this city as follows:

A large excursion from Southwestern Wis.
consin appeared uDannounccd in our city
about noon yesterday. The excursion was
got up under the auspices of the NJ. r. Church
at Mineral Point, which has erected n costly
building, and are yet li,tlc in debt therefor.
The excursionists were mainly Mineral Point.
ers, and mainly Mcthodists, though other de-
nominations and heretics outside Of all de.
nomination were literally sprinkied IN. The
whole number was abont 400, over half OF
whom were from Mineral Point, under the
leadership of the NJ. E. preacher Il re, Rev.
Reynolds. A goodly number were i.om Dar
lDst0n. and nearly hundred from Warren.
Ill, accompanied by the NJ. E. preacher, who
formerly preached at Mineral Point, and had
a fellow feeling for his old parishloncrs.
special train started from Mineral Point at
O'Clock, reaching Dubuque about noon. Tho,
visitors scattered, some going to the hotels,
and some eating picnic dinner on the bluffs.
They then took each his own way 90 whatever
places of interest suited their fancy, and
while seeing many things of interest, failed to
see things of most interest, such as our water
works, art gallery, etc. A dozen or SO fell
into friendly hands, and were invited to the
Institute of Science and Arts, with which
they expressed themselves delighted. We
hope all were sufficiently pleased to come
again, and let us know beforehand something
about their coming. A more Intelligent
appearing, quieter better behaved set of cx-
cnrsionists never put in an appearance in
our city.
The "excurters' all express great
admiration for Dubuque and the
hospitality of her people. Only
one objection have we heard raised
to any thing in the city, to-wit !:
the quality of the lemonade. The
objection is confined, however, to n
small number of the party; and
they, viewing the beautiful land
scape, and inhaling the exhilerating
breezes from the towering bluffs,
were, perhaps, hardly in frame ST
mind to appreciate the merits of
more material things.

Good Cow.

The difference between good COW and
poor one is not generally appreciated
Oftener than otherwise, the price at
which cows are bought and sold is made
to accord with the amount of milk they
will give. But this is not sound way
of estimating their value. Beef cattle
may be estimated by the pounds of beef
they will make. A bullock that will
make 500 pounds of beef may be North
half as much as one that will make 1000
pounds, but the COW that produces only
100 pounds Of butter year is not worth
half as much as one that will make 200
pounds in the same time. As it will
take the former COW two years to make
as much butter as the latter does in one
she will cost her owner years keeping
more than the other will to get the same
amount. The butter from the poor COW
costs double what it does from the good
one, and is produced at a ruinous rat,
for the farmer. Such cow will not pay
the cost of keeping, and is only fit fol
the shambles. She ought certainly new
er to occupy place in the dairy. A
herd of such cows would make any dai
ryman grow poor, while with a herd OF
the other class be could hardly fail tc
grow rich.

The Murder of the COlored SCHOOL,
mistress In Tennessee.

]
The Nashville correspondent Of the
New York Herald gives an account OF
Julia Hayden, the colored school teach
or, whose death has been already an
nounced She had for some time been
student at the Tennessee Central Col
lege, was always punetual in her habits
and studies, and soon obtained a good
English education. She was Is years of
age and was general favorite. She
was invited to take charge of school
near Huntsville, where the tragedy &C.
cured, which is thus related:
CAT this point she obtained board in
the family of Pink Lowe, a respectable
citizen Of Trousdale county. 1t is a
wild and lonely spot, and the houses are
few and far between. The school house
was a mile and a half distant, and a
] walk twice day over the quiet and des-
olate country road, to a person who had
lived in the busy city, was not calculat-
ed to inspire her with courage. A stran-
ger in strange land, it was not to be
wondered at that she felt lonely, and in
a letter to friend desired her to pay
her visit until she became accustomed
to her new surroundings. She had been
but three days in her position when the
bloody act which | am to relate deprived
her of her life She had had no timeto
form acquaintance. no time to make
enemies, and the murderous act was com
mitted in pure wantoDness.
Between 2 and o'clock on the morn
ing of the 22d inst. two men rode up to
Mr.. loves house, and after hallooing
and knocking, demanded to know if the
colored schoolmistress was in the house.
Mr.. Lowe told them she was, but they
could not get her. At this they became
enraged. and after banging at the door
and calling loudly for Julia Hayden,
they made other efforts to force an en-.
trance.
The girl was in an upper room of the
house, and being awakened by the noise
and becoming alarmed at hearing calls
made for herself, ran down into Mrs.
loves room and jumped into bed with
her for protection. She had just gotten
into the bed and was in sitting posture,
when there came crash, the girl scream
ed and fell to the floor a lifeless corpse.
Whether she was shot through the door
or, the door being opened, they shot d.
rectly at her, or whether they effected
entrance to the room and did the shoot
ing there. is not positively known"
