Can ye not discern the Signs of the Times? Matt. xvi, 3.

What Ails the Cows?—L. Bryant, Freedom, Portage County, Ohio: Quite a number of farmers in this place have lost cows this Spring rather singularly. The first that died were found as they lay down at night, dead in the morning. This was while in the stable. Since grass, some three or four have died. They gave their usual mess of milk at night, and ate and appeared as well as average, but were found dead in the morning. One man drove his cows to the yard at night, apparently all well; went into the house and ate his supper, and on going out to milk found a dead cow. There is no chance to doctor them, for one don't know what to doctor, as all appear equally well. As regards calomel's killing lice, it has been tried here, and it kills the animals.—N. Y. Tribune.

Italy.—The “situation” in Italy would be laughable if it were not a matter of such serious importance. Garibaldi has begun in earnest his movements to overthrow the tyranny of the Pope and restore Rome to united Italy as its capital. Victor Emanuel, King of Italy has proclaimed Garibaldi a “fillibuster,” while the Pope has denounced Victor Emanuel for selling the church lands outside the Eternal City, and declaring the decrees null and void.
