ALEXANE By Te«lerdk7 Etcdiii|'i Alalia. The Black Tongue is prevailing to ao alarming extent, in various parts cf the coun- £ try, and is proving quite fatal to cattle. A c gentleman residing in Henrico county, in- t formed us yesterday, that his miloh rows had c given such strong evidence of suffering with 8 toe disease, that he bad forbidden the use of milk in his family. From all we have beard r of this disease, we have very little doubt that ! it is contagions, not only among cattle but that human beings may readily take it. 1 be following remedy is said to be a good one, , when taken in time: As soon as a cow gives ' indication of sickness, examine her mouth v closely, and if small blisters or tumors have \ formed under the tongue, upeu them. Ii her gums are swollen, lance them. Use as a wash, a strong solution of chloride of lime, . keep the animal stabled, gi«e ber a pound . of salts, and iced her on gruel for tbree or four days. This remedy, an intelligent farmer informs us has been used with groat success n Europe, and is worth trying.. ^ Rich. l)itt. ! c . * Robbed..We learn that while the train from the Sooth was stopped at \V oldon yef- j j terday for dinner, a Cuban, who was among tbe passenger*, bad bis valice broken open j and robbed of seven hundred dollars in gold, and Northern bills ol credit amounting to fifteen hundred dollars. No arrest was made v but parties were suspect) d. The gold was c all in Spanish oom, which, it is hoprd, may lead to the dotection of the robbers..Vet Int. V An inquest was held on Monday on the c body of Joseph Tucker who it was supposed '2 had been murdered neAr Richmond. Nine '1 witnesses were examined, but their combined a evidence threw no light upon the su'ject ol enquiry. As there were no marks of vi deuce j upon hie person, tbe conclusion is, that he lay down in the bushes to sleep off the lutnes a of liquor, and while there was taken with a i fit and died. The jury returned a verdict j that he died from intemperance. ^ Hon. Fiyetto McMullin and lady, from a Washington Territory, are at present in ^ Washington. 2 The General Land Office is taking mea- ' sores for the prompt issue of patents for tho Kansas trust lands. v 8 MJtRKIRU.

The Black Tongue is prevailing to ao

alarming extent, in various parts cf the coun- £

try, and is proving quite fatal to cattle. A c

gentleman residing in Henrico county, in- t

formed us yesterday, that his miloh rows had c

given such strong evidence of suffering with 8toe disease, that he bad forbidden the use ofmilk in his family. From all we have beard r

of this disease, we have very little doubt that !it is contagions, not only among cattle butthat human beings may readily take it. 1 befollowing remedy is said to be a good one, ,

when taken in time: As soon as a cow gives '

indication of sickness, examine her mouth v

closely, and if small blisters or tumors have \formed under the tongue, upeu them. Ii hergums are swollen, lance them. Use as a

wash, a strong solution of chloride of lime, .

keep the animal stabled, gi«e ber a pound .

of salts, and iced her on gruel for tbree or

four days. This remedy, an intelligent farmerinforms us has been used with groatsuccess n Europe, and is worth trying.. ^Rich. l)itt. ! c

. *Robbed..We learn that while the train

from the Sooth was stopped at \V oldon yef- j jterday for dinner, a Cuban, who was amongtbe passenger*, bad bis valice broken open jand robbed of seven hundred dollars in gold,and Northern bills ol credit amounting tofifteen hundred dollars. No arrest was made v

but parties were suspect) d. The gold was c

all in Spanish oom, which, it is hoprd, maylead to the dotection of the robbers..Vet Int.

An inquest was held on Monday on the c

body of Joseph Tucker who it was supposed '2had been murdered neAr Richmond. Nine '1witnesses were examined, but their combined a

evidence threw no light upon the su'ject olenquiry. As there were no marks of vi deuce jupon hie person, tbe conclusion is, that helay down in the bushes to sleep off the lutnes a

of liquor, and while there was taken with a ifit and died. The jury returned a verdict jthat he died from intemperance. ^
