A NeVy.Cattle Disease.

The diseases to which cattle are liza
BILE unfortunately as rule battle the
skill of veterinary science, aud for
this reason alone some anxiety will no
doubt be caused by singular disease
called "charbon," which, it is stated,
has made its appearance among the
COWS in the parish of GlaItane, county
of Cork. The Pail Mall Gazette says
death seems to follow seizure with strik-
ing rapidity, one ofseven COWS attacked
on the same day having died in four
hours. With the view probably of not
wasting the flesh of even a diseased
COW, the stomach of the animal was di-
vided into small pieces, which, with
great kindness and liberality, we're dis
tributed among some ducks and geese.
The result was not satisfactory. The
ducks and geese vofaciously devoured
the feast thus placed before them, and
in less than five minutes began to totter
about and then fell down dead. An
attempt was made BY the veterinary
surgeon to bleed the infected animals,
but no blood would flow. The blood
tar in its color and consist
ency 1t is some comfort to hear that
the carcases of the animals, by iirec-
tion of the police, have been buried
very deep.

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN, of South
Carolina, after the Hamburg massacre,
asked for National troops to arrest the
ringleaders of the murderers, and to
preserve the peace. For so asking, he
has been soundly berated by certain
journals. The Daily Graphic ad iresses
itself in the follo@Ing language to a
portion of the country press on the
question:
"Mr. President! l move that all the
knaves and dastards be arrested :"
shouted an excited deputy in the midst
of French revolution. The motion
was in the interest of good morals, but
it was impracticable. So when the
Herald and other papers insist that
Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, proceed at once with black sheriff
and mulatto posse comitafus to arrest
"General" Butler and the other white
assassins of Hamburg, they Iease out
of the problem some important elements

Murder in Lancaster County.

On Friday, July 81, a man named
Pannell, who was married last April to
a Lancaster lady, Miss Annie Hedrick,
came from Philadelphia to Lancaster,
called on his wife, with whom he had
not been living for some time. He
proposed a reconciliation.
"Annie said she would cheefully
forgive him for his conduct, but would
never live with him. He then rose
from his chair and stepped toward his
wife, pulled a small fourbarreIed pistol
from his pocket, and said "This night
we make up or else separate forever"
and Immediately fired, the ball entering
the left cheek. He then deliberately
reloaded his pistol as Annie was sink
ing to the floor, and, paying no atten-
tion TO the screams of the terrified Mrs.
Hedricks and two children, who were
in the room, be fred again, the ball en-
tering behind the right ear and lodging
in the brain. Mrs. Hedricks, escaping
down stairs to the second floor, fell and
became unconscious, in which condition
she remained for some time. Penncll,
being then alone with his victim in the
upper room, took large family Bible
from the table, opened it on the breast
of bis dying wife. He then proceeded
to balcony in the rear, took seat
and commenced flaming himself, and
few minutes later Messrs. Samuel
Croft and John Martin arrested him
and banded him over to police officer.
Many of the citizens insisted on hang
ing Pannell at once, but the officers
succeeded in lodging him in the sta
ton house.

Ellen Shellau, colored, was commit

morning of the 29th ult.- Saturday
on the charge of numbering her infant,
aged one year, by throwing it iuto a
we'll on the farm of John Miller, one
mile from Westfeld, where the body
was found on Friday night. The child
had four arms and three legs, and was
thus recognized as the one to which the
accused had given birth year ago.
The child had been missing since last
September, and the mother said she
had sent it to doctor to have the su-
perAuous limbs amputated. She now
denies ever having seen the child. The
well has been constantly in use. The
people of West6eld are greatly excited

Border Iife. Present and Past.

The terrible fate of Custer snd his gallant
three hundred adds another tragic chapter
to the great book of Border events, whose
begiunins dates from the esrliest settlements
of our country, whose end will be only
when the Indians as race shall have be-
come extinct.
The horrors of the Modoc campaign are
vet fresh in our memories. The historic
Lava Beds. Indian cunning battling the skill
of our soldiery for 50 long a time, savage
malgnity and treachery eliminating in the
death OF the brave Candy and others whose
mission was honorable treaty and peace
all these are still remembered with shud

settlements of the Susquehanna and ALE

SO with this heart-rending story of Custer
and his men, which has been sprung the
country 50 suddenly, and which is being
read amid tears of sorrow and calls for ven-
geance, from one end Of the land to the
other. Some may find its parallel in the
history of Leonidas and his three hundred ;
some may seek for like sacrifices amid the
Scottish Chiefs or Polish Patriots. But it
is only when we turn to the thrilling chap
tcrs of our own Border history that we read
and re-read, in intensified form, the bloody
story of Rose Bud and Big Horn Rivers.

Barbariiy Developed.

The Cheyenne Leader tells the fol-
lowing fearful story of how some Crow
indians mutilated and tortured wound
ed Sioux whom they Captured On the
morning following the battle of the
Rosebud, as the column was moving
from the place Of the bivouac, there
suddenly arose among the red allies a
singular excitement. One of them had
ridden up to dark object lying beside
the stream, and sat and gazsd at it, and
after others had joined him, they all
chartered as wildly together as the
South American monkeys when they
discover the prcpinquity of snake.
After gestures and yells they dismount-
ed, aud brandished knives. Approach
ing them, there was seen lying on the
fresh, dewy grass, under the gentle
shadow of STOPPING willow, the most
horrible object that could meet the eye.
A dusky human form, nude and blood
besmeared, was writbing under the
knives of the mercIless victors. The
object was a Sioux, who, in the latter
part of the fight, had been wounded by
Snake, scalped, and left for dead. In
tearing the tuft of raven hair from his
head portion of the bone, fractured
with a stroke Of the tomahawk, had
clung to the flesh, and the brain was
laid bare. And yet in the morning the
savage was still alive, and hearing the
tramp of horses and believing bis tribe
had beaten the whites, be had crawled
out of the gully in which he lay, and
called, "Minnie !" (water) to Crow
sho had passed, and who he undoubted-
ly thought was a Sioux. The Crow
turned and his face kindled with fear
full Joy. SIX shots were fired into the
PROSTATE figure. The head and limbs
we're severed from the body and the
flesh hacked, and the bones hewn until
there was nothing about it recognizable
as human. lnfamies too shameful and
disgusting for record completed the
CHASTITY climax of horror. 1t was an
illustration of tine fendish ferocity of
all the plains Indians against their foes.
The Sioux practice even more refined
barbarit;es, torturing their victims in
the most exquisite manner, aud making
them more dreadful by deferring, by
every art in their pc-er, the welcome
relief of death.
