Town HALL, JUNE 10th, 1894 commune
cation was received from William Gibbons, on the
subject Of having the children of the Poor, in vii
mington, vaccinated accompanied by certificate
signed by number of the physicians in the Borough
E offering their services, in conjunction with the
council, to carry into effect this benevolent object
Wherefore, Mr. Tatum submitted the following
preamble and resolutions which upon motion, were
read and adopted
WHEREAS, it appears from undoubted authority
that many of the poorer class of children in the b.
rough of Wilmington, both White and ColoreG,
have never been vaccinated and are therefore liable
TO that most dreadful and affecting disease--the
Small Pox; which, if introduced here, cannot fail
of extending its ravages amongst this class Of our
population in which case we should in all proba
bty very soon have to witness, in proportion to
our number, similar degree of mortality and dis
tress, as have recently prevailed in some of our
neighboring cities: and whereas the physicians oil
this Borough have humanely offered, in coniunc
ton with and by the advice Of the Burgesses and
Borough Council TO vaccnate all those of our poor
population who shall be pointed out to them as pro
per subjects, and who shall be disposed to submit 10
this safe and essential operation
RESOLVED therefore, that it is the duty OF corpo
rate bodies polite, not only to protect the INDECENT
in their civil rights and immunities but to endeavor
to secure them from those malignant Disorders t
which they are at all times most liable, from their
peculiar situations and habits in life,--
RESOLVED, that Henry Rice, John Rumsey, Da
vid Tatum' Joseph Grubb, David Bush, James Nc
Kean, William Chandler and John Sears, be a
committee to register the and places of abode
of those minors and others, who have not been vac.
cinated that our physicians thus humanely dispos-
ed to act, may be furnished with all necessary in
formation and assistance that the case may require
RESOLVED that the Borough Council recommend
and enjoin TO all those persons embraced in the
meaning of these resolutions, a prompt and ready
compliance with the object and design herein held
forth in order that the humane and benevolent SER
vices of our physicians, gratuitously offered, may
have as full and speedy effect as possible.
BY order of the Borough Council,
JAMES BKOBSON, BURGESS.

The sudden death of Mr.. King,s late of the
Washington Market, New York, about the period
when he was prepared to take the oath of insolven
cy, has created deep sensation. To be struck
suddenly with death is at all times awful, but at the
moment when it is supposed the hand is on the
bible to take oath, leads to the suspicion that
something false was intended, and only arrested by
the catastrophe. The solemnity of an oath should
always be duly considered; but we apprehend, in
this instance, that nothing improper was in con-
temptation by Mr. King, neither is the fact exactly
stated. He was in the act of taking out his specta.
cles to read the oath when he fell dead. Mr. King
was prisoner on the limits, and was poor man !;
he had nothing 10 give his creditors and therefore
could not have sworn falsely. His physicians have
stated that he had long abored under an affection of
the chest, which they regarded as hydrothorax,
accompanied by an organic affection Of the heart,
which may have caused his sudden death, particu-
larly when agitated by his sltuation.--yNat. Adv.

head Joins to the neck, it is about four feet ten in
ches across; the diameter OF the body from the
ridge OF the back to the lowest part of the belly,
where thickest. is precisely six feet one inch. Its
tall contrary to that of the whale kind, instead OIL
being formed parallel to the horizon, is perpendcu-
lar and about three feet in width. The external
appearance of the eye is about that of OK but the
oal itself is as large as common swivel shot, and
very hard. Its mouth is enormous, furnished both
above and below, with double row of teeth above
an inch in length and its throat has, or had, the
capacity OF swallowing man of any size. Wher
attacked, 1t appeared to be of very pacific nature
not making the least attempt to repel any OF the
merous injuries offered to it. The carcase itsel

about two hundred gallons, is from the entrails only
