lection, slighter degree of the same symptoms as
before appeared, is produced. This remnant dis
order, though it resembles that which was originally
excited, is not regular in its progress, precise in
Its appearances or fatal in its effects, the primitive
smallpox it is that which is usually termed carlo
loid
In the second place, whatever else will exhaust
this predspostion will render us secure against the
disorder; and although the vaccine virus is equally
efhcacous in producing this effect as the primitive
small itself, yet there are cases in which the
preusposlon exists in SO great degree as not to be
entirely exhausted by the vaccine disease. In these
cases. although the process be conducted with SKILL
and it produces it's full effect. and the individual is
confident of security. vet, if exposed to small pox
infection, this remnant predisposton is enkindled,
and corresponding eruption takes place in this sys
TEN. This also is milder than the primitive small
pox, and would be called, in our day, varioloid.
Hence it appears that the varioloid occurs after
smallpox and after vaccination and that it is spec
fcay the same as smallpox but modified by vacin-
alton of the previous deveopement of varola for it
is caused by the same infection acting the same
predispostion, although this last is partially exhaus-
ted and comparatively weak.
The last conclusion to which have been led by a
long series Of facts and observations, and which may
be drawn from what has already been said is that by
repeating the operation of vaccination until it
to take effect, this predsposition may be entirely
hausted, and the individual be protected from var
ioloid, as we'll as the original smal.p 1t will be
found that in about one in thirty,i it will take
second time and these the in which the fu-
e not being wholly exhausted, the small pox inlec-
ton wnudhav produced that modified disease which
is termed varioloid, but might be denominated Sc
condary or modified smallpox.
1t should therefore be an invariabe rule, when a
child has gone through the vaccine disease well
to vaccinate again. and to repeat the operation till il
to take eectthat till the predsposition to
smallpox as Vhohy exhausted.

Erom the AeV Engiand Farmer.

Farmers .4ccount.-Every farmer who desires to
know correctly TO what profit he does business,
should provide himself with book, which he may
call his General Stock Booh and in this book, some
time in December. he should register the result of
general survey Of the condition and worth of his
whole stock and property, of his debts and credits.
Having such book to refer to at all times and on
all occasions, will afford much satisfaction to his
mind. In the first place should order in all
tradesmen's bills, aud in the mean time he may
take an examination and account of all his house
hold goods. horses cattle, poultry, corn, grain. in
straw or threshed, hay or other fodder, wood, ma
nure. wagons, carts, poughs and implements of all
kinds the state of his fences, gates, drains, &c
and make an estimate of the necessary repairs
Minutes being made on aste paper, the particulars
may be afterwards entered into the Stock Boo
with such degree of minuteness as may be judgeo
necessary.-Alter this general register, Dir. and
Or account may be drawn out, the balance of which
will exactly shew the present worth of his estate
The form of the account may be as follows:--
STocK DR.. CONTRA CR.
| On the DIR. side should be entered all the farmer
owes, and on the Or. side all he possesses, and al
that is owing to him. He must rate every thing a
what he judges to be the fair present worth, twas
then sold;) manure and tillage performed must b
! valued at the common rate OF the country.
| If farmer wishes to be very correct in his cal
culations of the profit and loss, upon lot of STALLED
oxen, for instance, on the crop of any particula
field his readiest method is to make an account 70
either one or the other in his ledger of DIR. and CT
On the DIR. side let him place the cost, ncludin
every minute particular, and on the Cr. side the re
, turns. On the sale of the articles, the account
closed, and the balance demonstrates the profit

Particulars Of the loss ofthe steam boat Cherokee.
Captain Robert Wilson, by fire-Ths boat was de
scending Red River loaded with cotton, and she had
proceeded to the Rapdes on the morning Of the 9th
inst. about half after O'Clock the light wood ada
cent to the boiler discovered to be on fire the
pilot at the nelm the first alarm, rang his bell to
have the engine stopped, concluding that the fire
would be more easily extinguished, when the boat
was not running-immediately afterwards, the cap
tain directed the boat to be ashore but the flames
had reached and enyeoped the engine SO that the en-
gneer could not now approach it to get it into ope-
ration again-the pilot had time to throw the bow
towards the shore, when the wheel ropes were burn
ed in two, and most fortunately she drfted so
to enable the cable to be taken ashore by Of the
crew jumping waist deep into the water, those in the
bow made their escape by jumping ashore it had
sufficiently neared. The flames had now reached
the cabin, which prevented those in the stern from
passing to the bow, the small boat was immediately
brought to their relief the stern stood out in the
stream they hurried to clear the boat quick
possible for fear of the bursting of the boiler and
the explosion of some powder which was on board.
The crew and passengers had barely time to make
their escape before the flames had extended through
out the whole buat, not ten minutes from the first dis
coverv of the fire. Nothing was saved except few
trunks which was acco "pshed by the exertions OF
their owners several of which were thrown into the
river and afterwards taken up-the fastening burn
ed in two and the boat carried by the wind to the
opposite shore, where she sunk in about feet water
under the cylinder in less than an hour from the time
she took fire. There were on board 81 souls dest
tute of provisions and twenty five miles from any
place where there was probability of obtaining any
among the number were a lady and infant child
The passengers went down the river in the small
boat where they werefortunate enough to meet witt
something to eat, after "a hours fasting
Part of the engine has since been sayed-thert
was on board between 70 and 80 bales of cotton ant
few hides the loss of property may be estimated
at between Q and $4,000.

feet below the surface when they came toa large knot
Of black snakes. which they very exterously snaked
from their hiding place and continued digging further
till they discovered another knot, which they also
quickly dislodged from their winter quarters. The
whole family numbered 20, and they were from
feet inches to feet 10 inches in length, and their
average length about 4 l-2feet making collectively
