an amusing incident to-day. Lamar left the

stupid, sat inn0cnntiy down In Senator
Lamars seat. Blaine espied and rec

BERLIN Dec. H. ~ The rinderpest having
made its way from the Russian frontier to the
neighborhood Of Berlin stringent measures
have been adopted 10 prevent the infection from

indemnity paid to the oroprietors Of infected

smuegle the whole herd across the Pruasian
