SMALL Pox AND VACCINATION.

We hear almost daily Of distressing en-
SEES Of the small pox, frequently Terminating
fatally. and arising, Of course, from a cuIpa.
bic negligence Of the only means Of pre-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. The disease has
been prevalent, in some part or other Of the
country, during great part Of the time, for
several years past.
Tho public ought to know that no person
is protected from the small pox, BY the act
Of vaccination merely, but BY having taken
the genuine vaccine disease. It is there
fore important that the operation Of gaccina-
ton should be perfrmed by some skiIfd
person, who is competent not only to per-
form it properly, but to Judge from subse-
qucnt inspection Of the patient, thai /. has
taken effect, and commented the genuine
disease. No person with whom This nre-
caution has not been taken, can be co,,sid-
cred as protected against the conIagion Of
small pox. The public have latoIy been
informed o. the lamenied death of the Rev.
Mr.. Knowles, from the small pox. II has
been ascertained that he had supposed him
self protected by vaccination, having per-
formed the operation in his youth, upon
himself He could not of course Judge.
without any knowledge Of the nature and
appearances Of the disease, whether the
vaccination had taken effect or moi, hut L
was natural for him to presume that It had.
10 this fatal mistake is to be attributed tho
dePlorable loss, in the height of his useful.
ness, of an eminent and highly respected
christian teacher, whose services the public
might have hoped to enjoy for many wears.
We have heard Of other cases, where the
patients, suffering under small pox, had sup
posed themselves exempt from the conta-
gion, by having gone through the ceremony
of vaccination, without any knowledge that
il had been effective. Its well known that
a single operation is often NOT successful.
and It must be obvious to the common sense
Of every one, thot it must require the judg-
ment of person acquainted with the dis
ease, to determine satisfactorily whether the
operation has been successful or not.

A SNAKE STORY.

A curious fact in Natural History was
related some time since by DR.. Ansemi,
professor Of Natural History at Turin. A
snake in Italy, Serpe Nerva, the Coluber
Natrix of Linn9us, is we'll known to be ex-
tremcly fond of milk; and the Italian peas
antry pretend that it makes its way into
dairics to crafty its inclinations. They
even assert that il is sometimes found en-
twined round the legs Of cows, drawing
milk from their teats. OF this fact DR.. An
selmi himself had an opportunity once Of
being an eye witness. lie says;-
"lVakng, as usual one morning, on the
road called the Park, bordered by pastures
containing a great number of sheep and
horned cattle, | observed an old, bat vigor-
Gus COW, separate from the others, and low
ing, with her head raised in the air, her
ears erect, and shaking her tail. Surprised
al the noise she made, seated myself on
the bank Of a-stream, and followed her
wherever she Wlt, with my eyes. After
running for communities, she suddenly
stopped in n seqnesiercd spot, and began to
rumlnate. Enquisiliye to discover the cause,
| went to ihNplace. After going into a
pond to drink, she tame out, and waited on
the bank for a black snake, which crepl
from among the bushes, and approaching
her, entwiucd himself round her legs, and
began TO suck her milk. | observed this
phenomenon two succ essiye days, without
informing the herdsman. The third day !
Informed him of it; and he told me that for
some time the COW kicked at the approach
Of her calf, and that she could not, without
difficulty, be compelled to suffer il to suck.
We took away the snake, which we killed.
On the succeeding day, the COW, after in
vain waiting for her sucking, ran about the
meadow in such manner that the herds
man was obliged 10 shut her up

NEW OR RARE DISEASE

Died on Saturday 2Ist ult child Of Mr..
Wheeler, in Riyington street. Spots an
peared upon its face and body, ON Friday
morning, Of dark color distinct as those
Of the leopard, They continued to spread
until they extended over the whole surface,
leaving the line of demarkation between
them so plain as to give singularls var;e-
gated appearance. These spots were for
the most part regularly circuascribed. but
some of them branched of into clusters.
Those upon ths face and shoulders before
death hecame continent OF raf, into each

African negro. We were informed that
the child had been remarkably healthy
from its birth up TO the time of this extraor-
binary appearance. During the two DAYS
of lis Illness some thirty or forty Of the old
