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 dipped into the fluid lymph and thus charged for use. 2nd.

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 play for dis party; I’se de bossob dissension; de band shan’t play no mo’.

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.” Romance from Rome Courier’. About seven years ago a little girl panted Long wa« carried from Polk comity to Atlanta to be treated for some disease of the eye. She was successfully treated, w.ien two men named Garrett Volunteered to carry her back home, and took charge of her. Instead, of returning her home they carried her to Alabama, where they had kept her in igno rance of iter friends until recently, when 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 lost lister.' Mrs. Scett immediately sent for the girl, add Monday evening they returned with her through this city.

One great advantage in using animal vaccine as preventive of that dreaded dis ease. small pox, is that there is no possibility of inoculating the human system with any constitutional disorder, a risk which most persons fear to entail upon themselves or their offspring when vaccination is deman ded, and the only virus to be had is from human crusts.

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, Boston Journal. ig along now _ Bellton and Harmony Grove. * Bully for the managers of the North Eastern; Shove her through to Athens, and iuvite us to help celebrate.

When he came forward to testify the 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.
