The neck •vnd loins ore the parts most frequently attacked, either aejiarately or combiiit\l. The fornier affbetiou causes the hewd to be carried in a bent position, and the latter produces considerable stiffness and weakness of the loins. The treatment riiould consist in removing the animal to a comfortable place, giving an active purgative, such on two ounces of epaom salts dissolved in worm water, with a drncHm of ginger and half nn ounce of spirits of nitrous ether.

POTATO EXPERIENCE. —My experience in growing the potato has shown me the fallacy of some of the theories advance! in regard to the production of seed-balls, and rot, and planting whole potatoes. 1. It is not true that the reason why the old varieties fail to produce aeed b:Jls is Ibeceuse from frequent and long eontinued planting, they have become exhausted, as some assert. £ I hare found four or five potatoes affected by the rot, proving that new varieties do not always scape the dis ease : my opinion is that |t depends more upon the soil and weather. 3. I hare frequently planted both the whole and out potato,' and I could per ceive no difference in the conditions of each, and have come to the conclusion that the results from one eye in a hill are th.- moat satisfactory. The CATTLE DISEASE. —The fatal cattle disease in New York and other States is attracting no little attention. Honrth and Homo says the report of the vmptoms indicate that it is like the well-known foot and mouth disease of Europe, winch has been, so far as we know, unknown in this country. The symptoms as descrile ed are much more severe than the alx>ve named ailment usually exhibits. We give a general description of this disease aa observed in cattle, notingthat it attack also horses, sheep, and swine, and prole ably also men and some other aniiunK The disease is called "Murrain." It is common among dairy cattle, and often fatal where there ore calves. The month is always more or lees affected, little vesi cles bouig seen on the lips and lining membrane of the month, often turning into larger sores, and a similar appear aiwe will be found on the teats and feet Causes. —lt is generally supposed to be contagions, and spreads rapidly from cow to cow; it is also liable to affect other animals. The suliva from the mouth of the diseased, if allowed to come in con tract with the ailment on which other cattle are fed. will cause the disease to spread rapidly. The milk of cows affected with the epizootic has been kaown to cause the death of calves and pigs. Symptoms. —The cows affected appear to be dull, and walk as if lame. The appetite is impared, owing to the irritated condition of the month. An eruption of vesicles will be found in the month and upon the akin, especially of the teats and feet, which if not broken soon become filled with pus and exceeding sore, caus ing a raw surface, and requiring a longer time to heaL If the mouth and teats alone are affected, the local symptoms gradually disapjiear but when the feet are affected, if the disease is not attend- ' ed to and oontroUed by proper treatment, the discharge .from the pustules may insinuate itself between the hoof and the vascplar part of the foot, causing the 1 former to be cast off. If the matrix which forms the hoof has not been in- j jured, a new one is soon formed. Occa * sionally the constitutional symptoms are ; much more severe than we have de-1 scribed, and fatal results follow from | complications with other ailments. IreatmerU. —A mild purgative like Glauber's-salt is sometimes beneficial. The local eruption should be watched, and any of the following lotions may be applied: Carbolic acid, one drachm (teaspoonful); water, one quart Mix and apply several times a day ; or, sul phate of zinc, two drachma ; water, one pint Mix. Vinegar and water may alao be applied when the above are not at band. Prttentum. —Separate the aick from the well. Let the stables for the well be cleaned out, whitewashed throughout, j and sprinkled with some active disinfec tant, like a solution of carbolic-soap, M besides beiifg ventilated and kept very clean. Let the water be pure, and the food sound—udicious treatment and good nursing being essential from the begining to the termination of the disease. The milk must not be sold, used, or fed to oalves or pigs.

The question of diet lias naturally at traoted the attention of tli- various aricn- Ufio b of his discourse have been printed end largely circulated. The Doctor tells the people of Paris that the dailr diet of an adult nuy be made up as follows : 1(M) grammes of lvsf, 2u gr. of salt fish, 750 jrr. of bread, 50 gr. of vegetables—iu all, 970 gr. (2 lb., less one ounce) oj solid food, containing 8b gr. of albuminous matter ; but, as a man loses every day 120 gr. of this substance, he requires in addition 82 gr; of auxiliary food, Cheese and batter not being at tainaUe, we have coffee, chocolate, and wine to look to, the first and List of which have the remarkable property of causing a sensible diminution iu the art of progress of the phenomena of diges tion. and of fixing a notable quantity of carbonic mid in our organs, thus main taining the heart. Civ do comes next in order after bntter, and the Doctor ax pressea a wish that some manufacturer would give the world the benefit of pure chocolate at a lair price, as there ore serious doubts about the quality of much that is in the market Coffee has a warm advocate in Dr. See, who says the French miners work for eight hours af ter a cup at coffee, in the moruiug alone, without experiencing any extra ordinary fatigue, and that the fishermen on the const find it immense benefit. As ' *o wine, it is the cordial fxrr ejreVeiice, and when mixed with white or brown sugar it renders immense service. A man can live for a month, without any , appreciable loss of force, on bread and I wine alone. Against spirits, while a- I mitting l their value in moderate quand ties, he is verv severe. The abuse aof them* liquors, he says, is the beat Jc compliee of Prussia ; it is worth ten spies 1 I 1 Few (juestlMM. A French, recurring to the loss of the Oneida last spring, and to the heroism of Captain Williams and Ensign Cofip, txith of whom refused to leave their posts, i saving that their dace was with the ship, asks a few natural question*. Agreeing ] with all honorable men that he is a coward who abandons his vessels before the danger is imminent and success hojx - less, and that he is a hero who loses his life in the effort to save others, our friends asks whether Captain Williams and Ensign Copp could have been of no nse after the Oneida sank. Is the ship, he asks, made for the sailors, or an* the sailors made for the ship ? Is it not mere suicide for men to choose to sink with a ship when it is clear that they can do no good by sinking; and is it not aiding and allotting self-mnrder to glorify such conduct, so that no naval officer will care hereafter to save his life whan his ship goes down, nnder penalty of the taunt of treason and cowardice ? If a train of cars should be thrown from the track into ruins, and bike fire, shall the conductor aiul baggige-master. after the timid and frightened have been re moved to a safe distance, climb upon the wreck with intrepid faces, and. declar ing that they will not leuve the train, stoically roast themselves withont a mur iner ? Because I never saw salt water, says onr friend, luive I mental strabismus concerning a sailor's duties ? Why not introduce liari-kari into the army a well as the navy ? A Heroic French Soldier. Heroism still exist* in the world, and exists in the humblest ranks of life. In October, chloroform hud ltegan to give out in Mctz. The wounded were pour ing in, bat so little was in the medial stores that the surgeons were obliged to economize it for the serious eases. A foot chasseur of the guard was bronght into the operation room. His hand was crushed and it became necessary to re move the fifth metacarpal bone, the sup port of the little finger. He came on foot. He would not leave his musket, which he had slung by the bandoleer. " Well, mv friend," said the surgeon, •'we must perform a little operation here.'" "I knew it, monsieur; that's why I came here."' "Do you want to be put to sleep?" "Of course. I suffered so much last night that I shall not resist it. "You wish it very much." "Well, yes! 0, but it ia very scarce, isn't it, that stuff you know that puts a fellow to sleep ?" "We are almost out." " Well, well, just keep it for the boy that loses a leg or an arm—only look alive !" He stuck his poor bine cravat all bloody as it was between his teeth, lav down and stretched out his hand. The operation was performed. " Did you suffer much ?" " Yon bet I did ; but what's that, poor fellows must help each other." In its way, this sort of a simple foot soldier matches the tale of Sir Philip Sidney's generous self-denial on the field of Zntphon. Amadeus and Cuba. The new King of Spain has had a con fidential agent at work in the United States to ascertain the views of the Cu bans and their friends in regard to peace. Amadeus wishes to ascend the throne of a kingdom at peace with ail the world, and most of all with itself. The Cuban war has now lasted more than two years, and has proved a great source of expense to Spain, while the loss of life has been quite considerable. One proposition made in the recent informal negotiation involved a colonial relation between Cuba and Spain like that between Eng land and Canada. The Cubans, bow ever, desire independence. iThe negotia tions entered into by the new King do not admit of any severance of the re lations between the island and Spain. On that point Spain is firm, and the sus picion that Amadeus had ever hinted at the abandonment of Cuba would soon send him flying back to Italy. But once on the throne, this question most be met by the King and nis counsellors, and they will have to cop tin ue, whether this "cruel war" is to continue, or whether some new arrangement with the Cubans may be made.

THF ROMAN GALLEY is familiar TO ail, and jierhnps the famous battle of Actinm was made the most important one fought by these vessels previous to the use of fire-arms. There is a gulf on the west ern shore 01 Greece, thirty miles deep and nearly ten in breadth, but the two tongues of land that form it approach within a half mile of each other at the entrance. Here, just thirty-one years before the birth of Christ, were assembled one bright September morning, 200,000 men. Within, the hoy was gay with gor geously decorated and well armed ves sels. On oue side was Oetavius, on the other Antony and Cleopatra. Antony had 20,000 legionaries and 2,000 how men, and with 300 vessels swept down the gulf to meet his adversary. The lat ter advanced, and the two fleets closed. Then followed a scene of indir-crihable confusion and terror. The wind rose, and th" tossing vessels charged fiercely on each other, while the air was rent with the shouts and yells of the combat ants. At length Oetavius sent in fire rafts, which, driven and favored by the gale, lighted like huge torches * the ships of Antony, and amid the shrieks of the dying nnd the roar of the flames he fled after Cleopatra, who hod desert ed him in his hour of need. PAYING FOB WAB. —Now that the ques tion of the payment of an indemnity by Franee is a matter of discussion, it may interest our renders to know what France had to pay at the command of the nllied j powers after the war of 1815. The pay-1 ments were under three heads—namely, ' the indemnity proper, the cost of the j army of occupation, and the claims of foreigners who had been despoiled or in- ; jured by the French revolutionary gov-' eniment. These sums were assessed as follows: 1. Indemnity to allied powers, j 700,000,000 francs. 2. Pay, equipment, 1 and clothing of urmy of occupation for ; three years—the provisions, etc., were ! paid in kind—lso,ooo,ooo francs. 3. Foreign and British claims, the Bank of Hamburg, etc., 312,560,000 francs. T> tal 1,162,560,000 francs. This total in pounds sterling make a sum of about 46J millions.

A California correspondent writing from Sacramento, note* this event, and make* it the text for the following : How Southern California aigli* regret fully over such a paragraph ! Instead of sixteen baby carriage* in one yard, what do you think of fourteen liontra tied to the horse rack before the door of one marriageable maiden ? of these matters, a little story which occurred in my own experi ence. When I was journeying tcrow the continent afoot one day, when I wa* ap- Eroachiug Lt Angelo*. I came to a ouse made of rough boards, standing absolutely alone ui the vast clover plains. There was tlie above-mentioned number of horac* hitched before Uie door, and I thought from the remarkably lugubrious countenance* of tlie people r lauding alvout, that there must IHI a funeral. But J w hen 1 went in to procure a drink of water, I asked the boy, and he told me j with much giggling and ducking of his head into his shoulder*, that they were all come courting his sinter. This piquet! my curiosity at once ; and I determined, if possible,'to get a glimpse of a maiden w h< > eould exercise such potent attraetion. There were only two rooms in the house, with an entry way between, so that only oue visitor at a tunc could visit j this Peuelojte. The rest formed them selves into a melancholy row or queue, waiting for their turns to take a peep through the crack of tlie door. At tlie end ot this queue I stationed myself, and soon found that, as soon as they looked, moat of them came back again to their turn. There waa one poor fellow who** distress was pitiable. He could only * apply one eye to the crack, and he kept dodging I awkward and forward, right and left, as if to plead : " Priuk to nte only with thine eyea. And 1 will pledgt- with mine." >r at lea-st one of them. But preaently a brilliant suggestion scixed him. He turned bis head to one side and ranged l>oth his eves on the crack at once, but thie gave him such an overwhelming im pretwion of her cliorms that he sighed and dropped a tear. At loaf, when I was pretty near the gaol, my neighbor next in the rear liegan to wisneet there was foul play, and scru tinized me from heat! to foot, evidently not liking my apjiearancc, and not rel ishing the prospect of having his four teenth eliauce reduced to a fifteenth. Then he said to mo : "'Sense me, stranger, .ire you a resi dent any whar rotin' theee porta ? " " I have not pre-empted any Govern ment land yet, nut if that crack in the door protqtect* well,l intend to take up a quarter section at once,'" I answered. " Well, now, utronger, Iran you've took up Koine land alreadv 'roun liyur, you am't got no right peek in' in thatarcruck, interruptin' actool settlers." Tlie justice of this view wa- not to be controverted; nevertlielcss I persevered.

EARLY INFLUENCES. —There can be no greater blessing tlian to be lwrn iu a cheerful, loving home. It not only in sures a happy childhood —if there be health and a good constitution—but al most makes sure a virtuous and happy manhood, and a fresh young heart in old age. I think it every parent's duty to trv and mak their children's childhood ftill of love and childhood's proper joy onsness ; and I never see children desti tute of them, through the poverty, faulty tempers, or wrong notions of pa rents without a heartache.

A E ARE FISH. —Two fishermen recently captured a rare fish, apparently a speci men of the spinous shark, lietween Low lee Buoy antl Mouse-hole Island, in Mount's Bay, Cornwall. .The fish is eight feet long antl three feet girth, and weighs about three cwt It has six large fins, and email saw-like teeth; it is almost covered with numerous short spikes, of the shape and size of the common black thorn prickles. It has been very seldom taken m British seas. The men were fishing with hook and line, but seeing the size of the fish, they galled and then drowned it. How TO CATCH COONS.— The coon is taken by setting traps in the paths bv the streams where they live ; bait with fresh fish or salt codfish roasted, so as to give it a strong smell. Another way : Take one onnce of valerian, one-half I onnce of commercial musk, one pint of ' whisky; " together and let it stand : two weeki; put a little on your bait or i rub ou the under side of the trap pan. They smell it, and sticking their paws iu to find it, get caught. BOSTON ia to have fa "Home for the Poor," to coat 8223,000. luidjr School ('ommlsslgiier*.

Having had tlm privilege this evening of being amongst un audience w-hieh IsitJj these ladies addressed, I may be jxr milted a word or two upon the subject The oocusiou was that of Miss Davie* meeting the ratejrayers of Greenwich, for which district she is a candidate for a seat at the Hoard. Judging from the reception which ahe met with, slid the nuinucr in which she comported herself, I am inclined to aay that sue is likely to bo returned, and moreover she ought to tie. Miss Da vies founds her claim on u ten years'active and success!ul operation for the improvement of the education of girls. She was the nutiu founder of the Ladies' College at Hitehin, whioh is to tsi in aonneetitm with the University of ( ambridge. She was the foremost in promoting tho Oxford ami Cambridge local examination for girls. Hhs was is strumeutal in securing the commission tin endowed schools, and has constantly written articles and books on the differ ent branches of female eilueution aiul tlui uiodus of livelihood for girls, and, con tending a she does for the neceasity of the female element for the management of every sclmol, shows her aptitude fur this duty very effectively. Miss Davie* , is of comparatively mature age, ia of vury pleasing appearance, has a tactical man ner, ami a readiness of reaounwa and judgment which were severely tested by interpellation at the meeting to-night. ' In every reapeet ahe ia strictly feminine in her demeanor, and exhibits mme of the ways which are attributed to the li veutiomd " strong-minded." Her self possession w hen addressing tlie assembly i seemed to l> derived wholly from a sense of tltueaa for the dnty which she seeks to undertake, tuid an earnest pnr ]Kwe. Miss (1 arret speaks like on elo eiitiouiat, and with considerable corn uiaml of language, while Miss Davie*. i though tlucut. is more practical and log icai than exactly eloquent. I loth ladies are endowed with "that excellent thing in woman," a sweet voice—aoft and low, but clear and distinct; and of verity, they won all the sym|iathiea of thoae they addressed. Mo far us could Is* gntli ored from tlie opinion of those concerned lin the candidature, it would icem Uiat i there is every jMissibility that Miss le vies will lie returned ; and one may well predict tluit, even if alone of her sex at the Board, she will hold her own, for uinoiigut other qualifications, ahe ia gift jed with a gentle penuaaivene**, which ia quite a power.— English ixtptr.

A California jiaper tell* the following story : The house of Char leu Line* was entered by a burglar about two o'clock iu the morning. The fellow made so much noise that Mrs. Line* waa awaken ed. She riHUK'd her husband and inform ed him tbut some one wa* in tliirroom. After listening a moment and hearing no unusual noise, he turned over and lighted the gaa to quiet his wife's fears, and then settled himself for another iiuooze. Mr*. Lines, feeling positive that she hud heard the footstep* of some one iu tin room, and crawled cautiously down and peered over the footboard. There *iie saw the burglar crouched upon his hand* and luiees. Unlike utmost women, she did not announee the discovery by a series of little screams ; but she crawled back and whispered in her huslwud'a ear the unwelcome intelligence, " There is a great big robber right down behind the footltoard." Mr. Lines crswletl down to take a peep for himself. Sure enough, there the fellow was, doubled up iuto as unalla space a* nosaihle, anxiously wait ing for the lignt to be extinquisluHl so that lie might continue his re*.-archen. Mr. Line* seised him by the hair, and was on the point of giving him a severe talking to and then kicking him down stair*, when the burglar presented a revolver, with hi* compliments, and told him he tumid continue to lire, provided he kept quiet aud behaved himself. Mr. line* acquiesced, and the foiled ruffian hastily left the premises. He was wfll droned, and from the fair view that Mr. Lines had he think* he will be abb' to identify him if they ehculd chance to meet again. _ UNITED BTATEB JYHLIC LAND*— From u statement compiled by tlie Hon. George W. Julian, it appears that during the present Congress the HE nolo l.ttn plowed twenty-three bills granting 75,- 006,320 acres of land to railroads. Of these the House has an yet approved but two —one Having a supplemental gift of 1.000.0U0 acres to the Northern Pacific Bail road ; the other one giving tlie Ore gon Branch I*lolßo Boilroad 4,760,000 acres. There are still awaiting ths Senate's action thirty-two other bills calling for 114,218,600 acres more, mak ing an aggregate of 169,224.!t!i0. or half a doyen times tlie ore* of Pennsylvania onlv. ' THE EFFORT of the United Stifiw Department of Agriculture in reference to the cotton crop, says the returns justify au rati unite of 3.800,000 commer cial 1 tales, 1,767,0U0.000 pounds, or eigh ty-two per cent, of the crop of 1859, which was 2,154,820,000 pounds. The increase in sugar-cane over last year is estimated at tliirty per cent in Louisi ana. A similar rate is returned or Tex as, and some advance hoa l>een made in Georgia and Florida. So much eaae ia annually used at "plant-cane" in ex temling the areage that the product of sugar aud molarara does not represent the real increane in cane-growing. NEW STATES.—A Washington sjiecial says there is a probability that two new States will lw> admitted during the present Congress. Senator Nye has introduced a bill to admit Colorado, and the House Committee on Territories have agreed to make a State of New Mexico, tinder the name of Lincoln. Colorado came within a few votes of being admitted some year* ago, and went so iar as to elect United States Senators, who went to Washington and waited for weeks in the expectation of getting their seats. Utah will AIBO knock for admission, aud her claim would seem to be much stronger than either of the others named. Review of the Wholesale Market. svar TOM stun. Fiova-Arttte.
