,currence, which happened at young ladies'
seminary in New York, is mentioned in the
times of that city, which presents another proof
Of the folly of indulging in the thoughtless
practice Of attempting to frighten Others
Two of the Young ladies in the institution were
engaged in their own room,= conversing on'tne
sience of anatomy, in the course OF which one
of them proceeded to relate srme experience
she had formerly acquired in a desecting room
Just as the convers"+;o ached this point, the
door Of the room III and another of the in.
mates of the Sc. entered with slow ana
solemn tread, having white sheet wrapped a.
bout her form, and her face powdered to per,
feet whiteness, her jet-back hair, eyes and
brows presenting contrast which gave a start
ling livedness to her ghost-like countenance.
The lady who was relating her exPerlence'as as
already stated, is said to he mentally superior
to any of her classmates. and noted Tor her
strength of mind and freedom from nervous
ness and absurd sensibility. So sudden, how.
ever was the approach of the figure, just at
moment when her mind was least prepared
for any thing associated with thoughts OF the
dead. that upon beholdng the apparltlon she
fell senseless to the floor, and awoke to the
scenes around her anxious attendants that rea.
son had fed and left sad tokens of the mental
wreck. At last accounts, no change was dis
coverable in the distressing SYMPTOMS OF the un-
fortunate girl, and there is little encouragement
to hope that reason will ever resume its seat.
This occurrence, of course, has produced much
distress, both in the seminary and in the faml-
lies Of the respective parties -r- p.

The largest accumulation Of specie in the
world is said to exist at present in the Bank OF
France, amounting to GO7,00O,00O francs, or
slI5OOO,OOO. 1'hisis nearly twice the amount
that the Bank of England has ever accumulated
1t indicates either that trade is stagnant in
France, or that the usual accommodations are
withheld by it in discounts. If the latter, it is
sycophaniic of political troubles. The policy
in this respect is different with the two large
monied institutions on the opposite sides OF the
British Channel. The Bank Of Eng I'd could
not, if it would materially limit its business on
the apprehended contingency Of war or internal
disturbance. 1t could not withhold the custom
ary accommodation to its moned and nercan.
tile classes, without derangiug the whole bus:
mess ofthc United Kingdom. 1t is compelled
not only to act as regards accommodation, but
TO suffer action rs regards its stock of specie,
simply because it is the great medium and reg
uIator of monetary transactions IN an eHten.
sively commercial country. The Bank ofFrance
is not so thoroughly Unidentified with French
commerce as the Bank Of England is with En-
plish commerce, nor is it so largely made Il
place of permanent deposite for spare funds as
the English institution. Many private monied
establishments in Paris, and the chief CONNER
cial cities of France have large accumulatlons
of specie. The private stores are immense.
The Bank of France follows the general policy
and the national habit. In view of the POSSIBLE
occurrence of foreign war or civil convulsioen'
tho French institution would feel itself bound to
have twice or thrice the quantity of coin or bull
lion that world be found advisable by the En-
olish establishment This accounts for the large
amount which has found its way into the Bank
of French.

REFRIGERATION.

Medical men very often asked if one vaccination is su
fcen to protect the system, through fe from smallpox
how oen it is necessary have the operation performed
The late Dr. FISHER, Of Boston, for long time gave
tenton this subject; and in January last published, With
Others, the following propositions which supported By
statistical facts, and fully relied upon By the
profession
l. That single aud perfect vaccination does not for
all time in all cases, deprive the system Of its susceptibility
of variolous diseases.
2. That revaccinations do and that conse
queny physician should recommend revaccna,on, when
questioned as to its necessity.
g. The system is protected from various contagon when
is longer susceptible Of vaccine influence tested by
re-vaccinason
Every person. therefore, who would be fully protected
from smallpox, should be only vaccinaied, but
should have the operation repeated, two tmes
til the system be affected by the virus For most
persons operation would Re found sufficient while others
may require several Re-vaeenaion, least once should
always be practced If this the generally, this
dire disease would soon become almost unknown.
