| year 1905 not one death occurred in the whole
Danish dOminions from the small pox Prussia
has made many wise regulations favorable to
vaccination, which have produced highly be-
nefcial results. Formerly the small poX was
believed to destroy about forty thousand per-
sons annually in that Kingdom. In 1917, by
this mild and entirely safe remedy, the deaths
were reduced TO two Thousand nine hundred
and forty, SO that the proportion of deaths
from small pox to those from other causes
had been reduced from one i'm sere, down to
| one in one hundred and four
1t is believed that the principality of Ans
pach, in Bavaria, containing population of
sS6,4o6 individuals, lost five hundred annually
IN 1897, 1895 and 1899; and in the year 1900
there penshed 1909 persons Of that disease
but SO clear and distinct have been the effects
OF vaccination, that, from the year 1909 To the
year 1919, only five cases have occurred, and
not one death.
In France, prizes are given TO the surgeons
who have annually vaccinated the greatest
number of persons.
la Lombardy, in the year 1903, in Milan
and Geneva, vaccination was believed to have
extirpated the small pox.
III the statements of intelligent travellers
ought tn be taken as evidence upon a subject
ofithis kind, there can he no doubt that vac
cinaton has operated the same beneficial eff
fects in South America which it has done in
Europe; and the journals of orr own country
bear testimony Gifts great and increasing good
throughout the republic.
The Committee have viewed, with attention
and concern, the PRONUNCIATION of opinions
tending to lessen the just confidence of the
community in the efficacy of vaccination, from
the circumstance of their being present slight
affections of the skin, liberation, or vascular
disease. They will not undertake to decide
what may be the effect of diseases of this char
acter upon the result of vaccination, when
they have affected the constitution of the iDdi-
vidual, but think ii doing no violence to the
opinions Ofthose who have adopted such, to
consider them as class distinct from the mass
of the community. They are inclined to be-
lieve that the constitution of the individual
vaccinated, with other causes, may vary the
appearance of the disease in some degree,
bur not to change its character to do that
there would be partial causes, easily detected
and easily understood.
The committee, from all the reflection
which they have been able to bestow upon
the subject, are of opinion that no modifica-
ton of the law is necessary, as its provisions
put 1t amply in the power of those entrusted
with the execution of il to punish abuses when
any exist. They therefore recommend the
adoption of the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the committee be discharged
from the further consideration of the subject
referred to them by the resolution of the 9Th
instant.

SINGuLAR ESCApr

1t is not uncommon, in the Court Of Scs-

IS pretty manifsstly guilty, gets clear, by some
technical inaccuracy of the indictment, or par
tlal defect in proof, for his honor the Recor-
der before the prisoner is discharged and let
out of the criminals's box, to give him brief
admonition OF his offence, and caution him a.

But when, on the other hand, prisoner is
found guilty, II is scarcely ever known that a.

SIR The following are the particulars of
the disasters which befrl the northern stage
this day at II O'Clock, The small ryulet
which crosses Durham street, about twenty
rods north of the meeting house, is swollen to
AN unusual size by a rain storm which com
menced last evening Immense cakes of ice
were constantly descending the stream dur
Ing the forenoon. The bridge was much
shattered by them. AS the stage was cross
ing 1t part gave way, and precipitated i,
bout twenty feet into a tremendous torrent
among large cakes Of ice and tmbers. Ii car.
red down three passengers, the driver, mails,
and two horses. The other two horses had
so far cleared the bridge as to preserve their
foothold on the abutment. The carringe wa.
dashed in pieces by the fall, the passengers
were thrown from it, and all were hurried
down the current together. One passenger
and the driver were extricated ono hundred
rods below the bridge two passengers were
drowned the body of one has brcu found.

ceives the rivulet in pursuit of the mails, bag

waist deep, among cakes of Ice, we found
both mails, and with some difficulty drew
them to the shore. They had fioated two
hundred rods from the bridge. Their recov-

fortunate circumstance, as they were floating

MISCONCEPTIONS ON TRADE

The following are the resolutions passed on
the 9th inst. by the Chamber of Commerce :
The committee to whom was referred the
memorial of the citizens of the borough of
Norfolk, respecting the restriction on com
merce, which was laid before this chamber
on the 4th inst. beg leave to report, that they
have given 1t, as well as the subject ON which
II treats, their most attentive consideration
and reflection, and are deeply impressed with
the conviction that the said memorial contains
facts and remarks which are lust they there
fore recommend the following resolutions:
Resolued, as the opinion of this Chamber,
that the interest of commerce will BIZ. promo
ted and the revenue of the country improved,
by removing the existing restrictions on the
West India trade, and that the shipping inter-
est of our country will be greatly benefited,
in as much as it will be the means of encreas
ing the number, variety and quantity of arti-
cles for expectation, aud of course INCREASING
the employment of our ships, and facilitating
our intercourse with foreign nations.
Resotred, also, as the opinion of this Cham
Der, that commerce flourishes most where i,
is most free that the importance and value
OF the American commerce will be promoted
by allowing our sea ports to be made the de-
pot of all foreign productions, subject, never
theless, TO such duties, as the wisdom of Con
Sress may prescribe; and provided, that no
drawback ofduties is allowed on expectation
by any foreign vessel.
ReSOlred, that it be, and hereby is recon-
mended 10 the senators and representative.
of this state in congress, to advocate the re.
peal of the laws passed the 18th April, 1918
and the supplement thereto, passed 18th MAY
1920, which constitute what is denominated
the restrictive system.
ReSotred, that the foregoing resolutions be
transmitted to our senators and representa-
tlves in Congress, by the president of this
Chamber Bali. Tel.
