DISEASE IU Worcester Traaecript says that one thousand cattle hart been slaughtered la North Brookfield and vicinity On Saturday one of the Com-usskmen vent to Spenoer and examined a cow of Mr Cain from the herd of Knights in North Brookfield exhibiting systems of the malady 'The animal vas killed and found to be strongly marked with the prevailing disease Tvo of the Agricultural Societies in Worcester county and the Middlesex South Agricultural Society have held meetings to consider the subject At the meeting of the latter Society it was voted to dispense with the exhibition ot neat stock at the next fair and also with the contemplated cattle ehov on the succeeding day Unless prompt measures are taken for the ex-germination of tba disease ibis feared it may ex-tend its ravage throughout tha country There it considerable excitement in many parts of New England A correspondent of die Boston Traveller at Waste JR write under date of May 28th: "The Cattle Disease has been introduced into New Hampshire five cattle have been killed in Hillsborough all diseased It came direct trom Mas Hundreds have been exposed Great excitement prevails Meetings are being called Wear bolds a meeting to-day No cattle will be allowed to come to town alter this day" The Massachusetts Legislature meet Unlay to taka action on the subject The New York Tribune gives the following account of the ravages of the disease in England in 174 and in Holland in 1867 "la 1746 a former residing at Fopiar in England imported two calves trom Holland under circumstance exactly amiiliar to those which attended Mr Cheuery importation 8 tarting front this point slowly at first but more rapidly aa more meant tor in propagation were offered it spread over the length and breadth of tha land destroying hundreds of thousands of cattle and continuing in devasting effort with almost unmitigated severity down to 1764-6 Notwithstanding the deep and painful interest which this disease excited and the efforts made by the government to atay in ravages it was ascertained by one iff the commissioners ppointed to investigate the matter that in Nottinghamshire alone 40UU0 bead of cattle perished in six months and in Cheshire upward of 10000 in the same apace of time By a special act of Parliament orders were given: -i 1st For the killing of all the infected animals and burying them enure with the skint on slashed from bead to tall' that they might not be used for the purpose ot the manufacturer 2d or the burning of all the hay and straw used about tha animals 8d For tha cleaning and fumigating of the sheds etc and for no sound cattle to be put in them for two months after the removal of the deceased 4th Forno recovasad aimimal to ba allowed to go near others for a mouth alter its convaieaence 6th For no diseased cattle td be driven to tain or market nor the flesh to be used lor dogs etc 6th For no heaithly cattle to be removed from a form where the disease had prevailed in lest than mouth after it disappearance And lastly brden were given for the notice of an outbreak to beimmediatly sent by the former to the proper autboritie- In one year tha third of tha existence of the disease £126000 were paid out of the public treasury as a recompense for the cattle killed according to tha prescrilAd orders i During the year 80000 bead of cattle were killed because more or lee infected and Dearly double that numbetr died of the disease The prompt action of tha Government although it did not erad-icatn tha disease yet much diminished its ravages mt undoubtedly shortened the period of its sojourn in England In 1067 over 14000 bead of cattle were slaughtered or died in only forty-three village in Holland causing a distress among the peasantry of a lamen labia nature What distress so equal mortality among the neat stock of American farmers most of them not over rich would occasion may ba imagined Let pteuro-poeumouia onoe get to the prairia country of the West and sweep away 20 per cent of the cattle from which this city is supplied and what would be the effect upon the railroads and cities that even under existing circumstance can barely hold their ownf We therefore think highly necessary that Ohio Indiana Illinois aod coming eastward Pennsylvania New York and Ntw Jersey should take their precautions be lure they are invaded by the disease A competent commissioner should be chosen by each of these 8 tales to go to Massachusetts investigate the disease and report to their several Legislature the means of prevention found effectual that the necessary legislation might at once be taken 1 i Once let the malady pass the boundaries of the State and an Irretrievable injury may have been don It Is almost unsafe to purchase a bead of stock from Massachusetts for however remote from foe infected district they may have been diseased by reason of contact with some animal exported thence When tha State Commissioner! are prepared to a anon nee to tbs public which town are and which are not infected the batchers in this city' and stock growers and formers throughout the country will at least be able to purchase undentmdingly As it is siow infected cattle from the Connecticut Valley at other parti of Massachusetts may be sent to this market or to Albany there sold to formers for the yoke and thus whole districts be ravaged by the disease Not a single hoof should crow the borders of Connecticut exoejrt after being inspected under the heaviest pens! tie and tba sooner this stringent re-J illation adopted the better it will for ilL" m-ss are of the Celtic stock and animated by the warm Milesian blood Male and female they are of couree because it is extremely difficult to have a sensation love story without a representation of both sexes and we believe that the great and magnificent Cobb bimself never attempted it They bad pledged their truth had been in and were to have been married on Sunday But the tongue of the slanderer is never still Uulfirable reports were circulated the bridegreom in prospect went out of town and the female went distracted Like Ophelia the took to wandering about the wharves muttering threats that the would end her trouble here by drowning herself and fleeing toothers that she knew not of On one occasion she was seen to cross herself and heard to repeat a short prayer preparatory to taking the fetal plunge which should terminate her earthly griefs She was restrained however and placed in the hand of the Police in order to prevent her following advice to love-lorn young ladies that the proper way in which to give repentance to their false lover and wring their bosoms is to die The officers were at first bothered sadly what to do with their prize And in feet a woman who is either bound to get married or commit suicide it a peculiar kind of property to manage But where there is a will there is a way The Police bethought them of a balm in Gilead and a physician too The recreant lover was sent for He was labored with exorted and appealed to with a persuasive eloquence which would litve done credit to Demosthenes in hit summertime of Athenian greatness He relented Hit stubborn heart was melted Hit eyes were suffused with tears He offered himself a aaejiflee upon the altar matrimonial The sorrowing maiden banished all thoughts of dark dreary grim-vis-aged suicide She was to be" married as she had wished and not to be" drowned as ahe had been forced to believe was her only escape from the sea of troublo which surrounded her The Priest was summoned the words were spoken and another matrimonial couple was struck into existence The Police amiled sweetly the sun shone brightly the happy departed we hope with two souls with but a single thought two hearts
