THE MARRIAGE OF MIKE McUooLz.—We have heretofore reterred to the marriage of the pugilist, Michael McOoole, in St Louis, on the th jnst., to Miss Mollie Naughton, daughter of St. 1s Kepublican thus describes the event: When it had been announced that the great champion of America was conquered in an en- counter that subdues the best of men, public curiosity was on the qui rive, aud public de- Monstrauon was earnest ahd enthusiastic. Long betore the hour selected for the ceremony bad arrived a vast crowd had surrounded the church and the age attached. Fve thou- sand persons had congregated to do homage to the champion, and, to evince their respect, the most perfect order was preserved, and’ the most perfect decorum was insisted upon. At hali-past eight o’clock a splendid carriage darted down the crowded ways, and it was the bloooming bride elect. Ano.her followed rapidly, and it was Michael McUoole, a pleased smile on am honest face that and lit cheerily as the vast crowd shouted aud cheered. ‘Tossing to and fro, and making space merrily tor those who were to be made happy, the as- semblage ed ranks” for the bridal party to enter tbe chureb, and, as they entered, close behind them eager spectators fol'owed, occu- pyig every nook aud corner of the vast build- ing. Braveand erect, under the grand glar: cf the chandeliers, Michael stood up with his “winsome leddy,”” the flush of youth on her young brow, and a pi on all her jeatares. Solemn and holy the organ pealed forth; earmestly and calmly Father Mulhol- Jand repeated the mar response and appr pl gstion looked and murmured their delight. Ui as finshed. |The solema words “Whom God has joined together let no man put asunder” had gone up from the sacred aitar; the swelling music pulsed low and ten- erly, the soft south wind biew in through the open windows, and rippled the dark buir of the bride ssif Cupid had caressed it: theebarch lifted up its towering spire as an outstretched arm, praying for Benedictions, and the breez+ the night came down upon a happy par kneeling in the central aisle to receive the blessings of Father Muiholland, who gave at to them with allthe fervor and kindness of his heart.

Never, perhaps, be,ore was sue! throng within its walls. The crush was real, alarming, but, nev all went off well; and the Marriage was a grand success in every way. The Missouri Democrat notices the marriage under the stunning displayed haga of “The Lion of the Prize Ring Lies Dowh with the lamb.” “Mike MecCoole im Lavender Kids,” «The Wedding of the Season,” “Street Cars Impeded,” “Woman Hystericked and Sack. lings Trampled Under Foot,” &c., &:. The reporter says: Late im the evening when the crowd had re- red from the house of the bride, the happy uur beld a reception, when Miss Nellie Forhan and Miss Moliie Breen, Mrs. Norton, and hosts Ct friends assembled to congratulate the new couple on their new way in life. The bribes- maids were all school girls of Miss Norton. Of Milke’s fighting the bride said: “If there's honor to gain, then fight—if there is money, then decline.” So it seems she has the Irish pluck.

Dry Goods. ‘The first week in Anat. bas proved duller had been anticipated among dry goods men. In vroywm sheetings and shirits the transactions have been small; but there bas been a slight decline in prices, which will soon be gained, however. by the ordinary demands of season. Qn the whole, prices have been pretty steadily maintained by the mannfac- turers and commission houses. No change ot importance is to be noted in bleached ces Are evenly maintained, except it in some of the best makes of shirtings there has been @slight advance.

The result is, all of our native cattle are diseased. Sadon: and Tolono townships have already lost over six bundred head of cattle, and it now seems we are only in the midst of it. I see from the agricultnral report that as early as 1853 Ralls county, Missouri, suffered from this same cat- te disease. The trade was conunued until 1858, when horses and sheep, also the Texas "The Troy (N. ¥.) Ti (N. ¥.) Times says: “There 1s svery reason to believe that the dreaded cattle fever or pestilence which has caused such havoc among the herds of Lilinors and other Aacggeer mg a Made its appear- ance in this vieinity. ts ravages thus tar seem to have been contined to Greenbush and it is evidently spreading, and un- less vigilance 1s exercised may be fearful in itsresults. The first case re] ocourred about a week ago, a cow bel to Mr. Aiken being found in the pasture dead. At first it was su} that she was strack by light- ning. The next day, however, another cow suddenly died, and upto the ‘t time Mr. Aiken has losteight. Se other perso: have lost cattle by the same disease, and «! Ting the past week probably twelve have died. ‘The animals are sick but & few hours, and the only symptoms they exhibit is a slight bleed- img at the nose. They will apparently be well at night, and in the morning be found dead. There is hardly a doubt that this is the same disease which prevails among the western cat- tle, and that it has been brought here by in- fected droves from Illinois. It is said to mad appearance in Baffalo about night since, also at Oimcinnati and other places. “In this locality its fatal results have not been confined to cattle alone. A young man named Abram Smith, emploved by Abram G. Wands, who also lost two cows by the disease, skinned one of the cows that died on Wednes- day last, His hands and arms were somewhat scratched by berry bushes, and in this manuer the poisonous maiter or virus was inuoculated into his arm. The limb began to swell and pain him very much. He consulted a physician, but his condition rapidly grew worse, and on Sat- urday resulted in his death. His funeral will take pice to-day. A sister of the deceased, who attended bim in his last illness, kissed him after his death, and was also infected by Ihe disease. This morning she was lying very low, and it is thougbt cannot recover. Another man named Ostrander was subsequently affectad in the same manner, but is still alive. That the death of Smith was the rsult of the infection there is no doubt. These facts show that cau- tion should be used, not only io preventing the spread of the contagion, but im touching the ceceased animals.” The Late Adah Isaacs Menken. A cable dispfch announces the death at Paris of Miss Adah Issacs Menken, &c. The chief events im the career of this singular ‘woman are facts of cotemporary history. Her maiden name was Isaacs, and she was born in New Orleans, about thirty-six years ago. Con- siderable attention was paid to the education of Adah, and from this source she probably received that taste which filled her with a sort of literary ambition. Her first husband was L. Menken, to whom she was espoused ere her extraordinary adventures had made her name celebrated. In 1560 the publi ic. of the still be About the bal 1861 she became the better half of Mr. R. H. Newell, well known as the con- tributor of the ©. Kerr letters to the Sundsy Mercury. This alliance, like all her others, lasted bat @ bref time, and Ae! parted with mutual satisfaction.
