A Warning,

The cattle men of Arizona cannot be too careful at this time about i'm porting cattle or other live stock from the eastern States, for. as Senator Sherman says, the insidious disease now afflicting the cattle of Kansas can be communicated in cars, in hay, &c.
 There is probably, no other malady SO contagious as the "foot and mouth disease. "-Arizona Live Stock Journal.

BRIDGEPORT, .ONN., Marya II.
Intense excitement prevails here OveP
the disappearance of the Reverend John
Lyon. His pulpit in the Universalist
Church was not filed yesterday, and no
services were held. Groups of excited
people have been discussing the mystery
oil day, and the hotels and telegraph
offices have been thronged by citizens
seeking some satisfactory clew to the
~clergyman's whereabouts. For some time
Mr.. Lyon has been preaching against the
evils of gambling, directing his batteries
against the lottery policy dealers in par
ticular. He uPbraided the city officials
and police, and by his able discOurses
compelled the authorities to arrest and
prosecute the policy dens. He has been
repeatedly threatened by the policy rum
ners, and since the cases have been tried
and the players acquitted it is feared by
some that one of these threats has been
Carried ont. Mr.. Lyon is a Scotchman.
He left this city on Thursday for the pur-
pose of visiting the Grand Secretary of
the Knights of Pythias on business con-
nccted with Mithra Lodge of this city, to
which Mr.. Lyon belonged. The Grand
Secretary telegraphed that Mr.. Lyon called
on him and transacted his mission and
they both went to the Hartford depot.
Mr. LyOnpurchased a ticket for New York,
where he said his wife was visiting, and
got on board the $3.50 p. m. train, and has
not been heard from since.
