Re-VaCCination.

Medical men are very often asked If one vaccination is sufficient to protect the sys- tenn, through life, from small pox; or how often ii is necessary to have the operation performed. The late Dr. Fisher, of Bos- ton, for a long time gave attention to this subject; and in January last published, with others, the following propositions, which are supported by numerous statistical facts, and are fully relied on by the profession:
 l. That one single and perfect vacclna- ton does not, for all time in all cases, de- prive the system of all its susceptibility ot varioIouS diseases.
 9 That one or more representations do; and that consequently physician should recommend vaccination, when question ed as to its necessity.
 3. The system is protected from var- ous contagon when it is no longer suscep- tible of vaccine influence, as tested by re- vaccination.
 Every person, therefore, who would be fully pl otected from small pox, should net be only once vaccinated, but should have the operation repeated, one or two times, or until the system ceases to be affected Dy the virus. For most persons one operation would be found sufficient, while others re- quire several. Re-vaccination, at least once should always be practIced. Ii this were the case generally, this dire disease would soon become almost unknown. ~~~~~-~~>~-~~c-~~~>~ EoUALro BARNUM.-McEIvy, the tailor who bought the prize ticketat the first Jen- ny Lud concert in Cincinnati, made con- siderable of speculation out of it-as fol- lows: He made bets with different persons in amount from ten to fifty dollars, just as he could get the bets, until they amounted to one thousand dollars, that the first tick ct would sell for a certain price. He then ! paid $575 for the ticket, making $40 oy 1 the operation.

 "He devoured birthstone on glowing coals befors us, chewing and swallowing them, he melted beer-glass and ate it quick up; then taking live coal on his tongue ,heput on ta raw oyster, the coal was blown on with bellows till il famed and sparked in his mouth, and so remained till the oyster gaped and was quite boiled '- Then, he melted pitch and wax with suIpher which he drank down as it famed; saw Il flaming in his mouth good while; he also took up a thick piece of iron, such as laun' dresses use to put in their smoothing boxes whenit was fiery hot, held it between hlS teeth, then in his hand, and threw 1t about like a stone; but this, observed, he cared not to hold very long; then he stood on small pot, and bending his body took 2 glowing iron with his mouth from between his feet, without touching the ground or ho iron with his hands; with divers other pro djgious teats"

| "THE HONOR OF THE MAN-In view of
 the law recently created, and styled the 1 Exemption Law in Michigan, whereby all
 laws for the collection of debts are virtually abolished, and the Honor of the Man is re- cognized as the only basis of business trans
 actions, the merchants of Kalamazoo have held a meeting in selfprotecton and self defence. The Kalamazoo merchants have not the same exalted estimate of tse Man
 in Michigan as the legislators seem to en- tertain, but like good citizens, have resolv- ed to sound the depths of the peoples hon. or in private transactions, and test the DC tency of the law which is to be buoyed up by it. Therefore, they have pledged them selves, one to another, to publish the names of all who refuse or fail, satisfactorily 10 ad- just the demands against them at the time agreed nnnn. at either of the stores or gro ceries in the place. And mutually and firmly agree thereafter not 10 trust the man whose name shall be thus advertised, being we'll convinced that no man of good inten- tions and honorable principles will allow himself to be thus posted before his neigh bors and felow-citizens.
 The tendencies of legislative bodies gen erally are to depress the interests of the press. Michigan has given an enlightened example to her sister States in this respec. A guarantee that neither will the law be le- pealed, nor the Kalamazoo merchants close their doors, would at once induce vegv
 large emigration of newspaper pubiishs.s from other States to Michigan. The chato for denouncing those who forfeit the Hona. Ofth tho nbob he f tbc. as for the name of a candidate. And theH contemplate the vastness of the patronage thus created to newspapers. One ai- nouncement ot every citizen, for every ac' of default, would raise very good fund l. be sure, but every man who buys, and doe. not pay due regard to dollars aud dates. is liable 10 be published by every dealer in the State. The cost of taking printing ottjcs 10 Kalamazoo will now be an anxious queS- ton among enterprising typos.

 A fact has been mentioned, to-day, which truly illustrates the temper of the young men of Boston, in regard to the late excite ment there. The splendid regiment of Boston Light Infantry, commanded by Lieut.. Col.

Two companies were, alternately, on duty, and the whole were prepared, at moments Warnlng:io Tor active duty, and each man with fifty ball cartridges.

He trembltd BeIShazzar like and snfote his fists togethg-another exclaimed, "a failure by G-i.' The third said he would "treat," which notion prevailed, and with one ac- cord they rushed down to Jerry's, and en- route uey rallied upon the District Attor- nev, wlo told them "it would not do to give it lp so;" their spiritual strength being reneWd, they returned with an increase of two files and organized by calling Captain John Abbott to the chair, who in his usual style explained the object of the meeting.

 THE CRoPs IN GEoRGIA.-The late tre mendous rams, and the week or two off cold. dry, windy weather that succeeded have done immense injury to the growlngI crops.

The consequence is that ever, species of tender vegetation is dropping md dying, and unless we heve rain very s,on, with warm and groWin1gI weather. there is no telling what may bel the conseqtential injury.

Asia are not very important. Cotton is

superiority of several American inventions,

In France, since the adjournment of the
Assembly, the friends Of Constitutional Re

subject. The question of the Presidency
eXcites the deepest interest among all
parties. The English Government finds
the sulugation of the Kaflrs and iIotten-

progress toward It's accomplishment. The
Porte. ii is said, has defnitively determined
to release kossuth and his companions on
the lst of Sept. The Potato ro, has made
