Too Mrc11 OF Coon TuISG.-That the
legaiJ profession was not always regarded
with that degree of respect and homage
which it deserved we have long been aware.
The following enactment Of the General
Session of the General Court of Connecticut
in 1929, shows that in those days the people
Of New England were disturbed with the
apprehensions lest they might have too
much of good thing. 1t is copied from
the original record by correspondent, and
has never, we believe, been in print before ::
Whereas, Many persons of late have taken
upon them TO be attorneys at the Bar, so that
auarrels and lawsuits are multiplied, and the
King god subjects disturbed. TO the end,
therefore, that said mischief may be prevent
ed, and only proper persons permitted to
plead at the Bar, as we'll in behalf of our
sovereign Lord the King, as of his subjects.
etc. 1t is enacted, That there shall e in
the colony eleven attorneys. and 10 more.
viz: three in the county OF hartford and
the other four counties 70 have two each"
The law in question further provides that
each County Court shall appoint the number
of attorneys to which the County is entitled,
one of whom, in each county shall be APP

EE-vAcC-EAT-cN.-Som very Interesting
experiments have been recently instituted
and given, on paper presented to the Acad-
envy OF Medicine at Paris. These expert
Inents were made with view to ascertain
the advantages arising from a repetition of
vaccination at various periods Of life. The
tesl1s arrived at are, that between the ages
Of twenty and forty revaccination only takes
effect upon four out Of one hundred patients,
while the proportion Of those On whom it
takes effect between the ages of forty and
sixty is twenty-three Per cent; and between
Re ages of sixty and seventy filty-tour per
cent. The consequence de2uced fgou these
xfactsore:
l. That until the age of % re-yaccination
is useless.
Q That from that age to s. it produces
useful effects upon a very small number Of
persons, and that consequently 1t need not
DO very strenuousIy recommended at that
period Of life.
3. That from the age Of So and upwards.
It becomes really ptopbylactic, and therefore
necessary.
4. That when vaccination has not taken
effect at a certain period. this is 20 reason for
concluding that it will not take elect at
some future period.
