At 4 o’clock a. m. the small crowd of peo

judges’ stand at Fleetwood Park greeted the
rider, Parker, with a cheer as he' swung
himself lightly into the ponderous Mexican
saddle, and with a shake of the rein and a
jingle of spurs, started upon his journey.
The first ten miles were traveled in twenty-

B ?he Franklin (Pa.) Repository lately
ished the following interesting account
of a “ vaccine farm,” in that State, and we
reproduce it for the information of oar
readers.—Ed.]
On a farm in Hamilton township, one
and a half miles from Chauiberebarg, Dr.
R-.Rush Senseny has a stock of one hundred
heifers, from which he is producing contin
ually a stock of fresh vaccine matter. The
process by which this is effected is interest-,
ing, and we were well repaid for driving with
the Doctor to the farm and witnessing the
operation throughout The heifers used in
this business are mostly well bred, and con
sist of either full bred, three quarters or half
Alderney stock. They must be in thriving
condition, and from six months to one year
old. They are stall-fed, kept in clean and
well ventilated stables, with-plenty of clean
litter, fresh water and nutritious food, in
other words, the animal is kept bp to a nor
mal, healthy and thriving standard.
First- Heifers are. secured by strapping
them down to a rack, on the back', with each
leg secured 16 a strong strap Broifnd the body,’
and the head tied down. Then they are
sltaved around the udder and vaccinated in
from ten to thirty places in order to produce
vesicles of vaccinia. On the eighth day
after vaccinating they are ready to yield up
vaccine virus in its different forms.
On the eighth or ninth day the vesicles
are ready to tap in order to secure virus.
This is done ia four ways: 1st. Quills: 2d.
Ivory Points; 3d. Lymph tubes, and lastly,
in about sixteen days, crusts. Quills are as
follows: The imported goose quill is taken,
boiler], filed, cut and scraped, and then

Stop dat Music.
Going up the street, about 10 o’clock one
night recently, a citizen heard the sounds
of a findle, a banjo and taniborine. As he
neared the point from which they proceeded,
he heard footsteps keeping time to the music,
and a voice calling out the figures of a cotil
lion. -He soon learned it was a negro wed
ding frolic. Just as he arrived in front of
the house a loud, angry voice called out :
“Stop dat music imraedyately.’’
It stopped, and the dancing suddenly
ceased in the midst of the figure.
“ What’s de uiattah, Sam ?” said another
voice, “ what do you mean by stoppin’ de
dance?’’
“ I means jes ’zactly what I sav!” answer
ed Sam. “ I ’gaged dat band myself , to

he entered the doorway and dropped into a
clmir. Frqnt the chair he fell heavily into
the arms bribe rancherra Wtitl hustlers. They
laid him on the floor nnd bathed his head
until a physician arrived- “I am stone
blind*.’’ the prostrate rider moaned. “Olt,
I shall never see again.”
The physician examined the rider’s eyes.
Vision had already fled from one of them.
He told Parker that the eilnmit was only
temporary, and urged him tp mount a harse

Others urged the rider to mount and ride
again, and to them he replied: “You want

move.” -s i j / <>'•;!
With difficulty Parker was raised to his
feet. The physician asked him questions
and in replyLs raid that hia eyes had never

anything ttw And .struck *he blinded right
eye in the race.
Seven or eight thousand spectators waited
anxiously for the prostrate matt to reappear
arid ride again: Their numbers increased Ufe
hv train and wagon loads, and the utmost
excitement prevailed. When they sav^
the exhausted rider bprne along the track to
his lodging place in the arms of his friends#
they watched him until he disappeared bps
hind the oat-buildings, and then, without
anv demonstration, they quietly dispersed.
There were 100 relays of horses of horses
during the day. The best tilde da I« mile
in 2.20. Fifty miles were run in 2 hours,
19 minutes; 100 miles in 4 hours. 41 min
utes; 150 miles hi 7 hours, 19 rtflmites; 200
miles in 10 hours. 16 minutes, nnd the en
tire distance mu, 226 miles, in 11 hours, 25
minutes.
Iu concluding its account of, the ;race, the
New York Tunes says:
“Parker suffered for want of proper
treatment difin&hiaheuy r«<l There was
no physSctawiwatfendanw.Tiifr-aven an in
telligent sporting man to manage him. It
was owing to a lack of proper tpourishinent
nnd to the fact that he was allowed to ride
almost the entire day in one direction, that
he nt length gave out. and fell upon the
floor *of : the’Jtmgfes* stafrd,’- lliud with dizzi
ness. There is no doubt that the horses
could have made 365 miles in 15 hours with
relays of riders, although their best running
speed i9 not equal to New York trotting time.
The condition requiring that one man should
do the riding, made the race a trial of his
powers of endurance, a trial that was not
only brutal, but one which could in no event
be productive of any possible good.”

was successfully treated, w.ien two men
named Garrett Volunteered to carry her back

they ran away for abducting another, child ;
but before leaving they wrote to the sister of
the girl, Mrs. Scott, living near Stilesboro,
informing her of the whereabouts of her long

the girl, add Monday evening they returned
with her through this city. The girl is al

Samuel J. Frost was executed May 26,
in Worchester Mass., for the murder of his
wife’s brother, Franklin P. Towne, July 4,
1875, in the barn on the farm owned by
Towne. Frost has stoutly maintained all
along that he killed Towne in self-defense
and to-day, in an interview said: “I de
clare to all men that I die innocent of wilful
murder.” He has been apparently indiffe
rent to his fate, refusing all counsel or ad
vice; until within about two weeks has refus
ed to be visited by a clergyman. Since that
time he has been visited by C. M. Lamson,
but has shown no penitence, and has been
disposed to talk upon subjects entirely for
eign lo the matter which his spiritual adviser
was trying to impress 0|>on his mind.
Politics has baen his principal theme and
checkers his amusement. Frost slept well
last night. This morning he conversed on
different t subjects, and said cheerfully,
“ I am the happiest man in the prison this
morning. As the hour of the death drew
near, he was calm and determined, and
walked unassisted to the scaffold. He made
no remarks.
As the drop fell the first thrill of a shud
der had not run through the spectators when
the body was seen spinning at the end of
the rope almost headless, a fearful tear ex
tending over the front of the treat, and the
blood gushing out in stieams. The blood,
forced upward by the arterial movements,
spurted fountain like upward from obe to
two feet, the stream falling to the floor in a
circle round the hanging body. This circle
extended even to the framework of the
gallows, which was in many places sprinkled
with blood. The blood poured from the
wound down the front of the body and trick
led from the feet, formiug a pool directly
beneath the body. For some two minutes
the arterial gushiogs of blood continued,
and the slow drippings of the blood from
the body continued longer. The knot oi the
rope had been placed behind Frost’s left
car, almost around to the centre of the neck.
The! drop was enough not only to break, his
neck, but to sever the spinal column, entire
ly, leaving the body hanging by the intergu-
meats of rear portion only.
"Tommy, Make Room for Your
Unde.”
A rather romantic incident occurred re
cently in the prosaic city of Boston, which
has at least the merit of novelty and is not
lacking the poetic dement. A stranger
entered a horse car, and was quietly seated
in a corner when a lady with a bright-eyed
little girl of three years entered and took a
seat next to him. The child, wishing to
watch the street lights, stood up between
the two. Mr. A-, noticing that the. child
was playful, indulged in a little familiarity,
nnd at length remarked, as the car passed
around a curve, “Don’t fall, baby, papa
would bo sorry.” Tho lady’s face, which
had worn rather a smiling expression,
changed at oncc^but before he recovered
his senses, seeing the faux pas he had
made, the little girl exclaimed, “Papa’s
dead.” The position was embarrassing,
but he turned the conversation by a casual
remark. The child, however, turning her
blue eyes upon him, said in the most artless
manner, “You dot any little girls?” “No,”
replied the gcntl ‘man, “ I had a little girl
once, but she and her mother are both
dead ” The mother of the child was now
more confused than ever, but when her eyes
met those of the gentleman, there was a
sympathetic expression perceptible.
The lady left the car, and though no
word had been exchanged between them,
the fact that one was a widow and the
other was a widower, was known to both.
The favorable impression created was inu-
tual, for a chance meetiug a few days after
was availed of by the gentleman to offer an
apology for what might be considered rude
ness on bis part in speaking to the child,
and the lady’s excuses for the forwardness
of her little girl led to an acquaintance
which will in a few weeks, if report speaks
the truth, result in an alliance which will
unite the mother and child to a most ex
cellent husband and fond father, who holds
an honorable position in a western qUy,

clerk commenced to administer the oath.
“You solemnly swear—■” “Stop! stop!”
interrupted the Judge (new installed) with
overpowering dignity. “The witness will
hold up his right hand when he is sworn.”
“ Your Honor,*’ replied the clerk, meekly,
“ the man lias no right hand.” “ Then let
him hold up hia left hand.” “If Your
Honor will remember, the witness has no
left hand either. He had the misfortune to
lose them both in battle.” Perhaps the
clerk thought by this last bit of information
to bring the Judge down from hia height of
displeasure; but he reckoned without his
host. “Then tell him to hold up his rigljt
leg. A witness cannot ba sworn in this
Court without bolding up something!—
