New Style Of Vaccination.

The November number of Harper's Na1-
asine gives the details of an improved meth
cd of vaccination, which, in view of the
ravages of smallpox in Philadelphia and
other cities, may perhaps deserve the atten
ton of our medical practitioners. The new
plan was first 3racsiced by Mr.. Ellis, an
English physician. Ordinary vaccination

This method has been practised by Mr.. Ellis

method an occurrence of secondary sbscess

How to Tell the Age Of q Horse.

From the journal Of the Farm
The colt is born with twelve grinders:
when four front teeth have made their up.
pcarancc the colt is twelve days old, and
when the next four comes it Is four weeks
old. When the corner teeth appear the colt
is eight months old; when the latter have
attained to the height of the front teeth it is
one year old. The two.year-old colt has
the kernel Qhe substance in the middle of
the tooth's CROWN ground out of all the
front teeth. In the third year the middle
front teeth are being shifted; and when
three years old these arc substituted by the
horse teeth. The next four teeth are shift.
ed in the fourth year, and the corner teeth
in the fifth. At six years the kernel is
worn out of the lower middle front teeth,
and the bride teeth have now attained to
their full growth. At seven years = hook
has been formed in the corner teeth of the
upper jaw, the kernel of the teeth next ct
the middle IL worn out, and the bride teeth
begin to wear of. At eight years the ker.
mel is worn out of Ill the lower front teeth,
and begins to decrease in the middle upper
front teeth. In the ninth year the kernel
has wholly disappeared from the upper mid.
die front teeth. the hook on the corner has
increased in size, and the bride teeth lose
their points. In the tenth year the kernel
10 worn out of the teeth next to the middle
front of the upper jaw, and in the eleventh
year the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth of tho same jaw. At twelve
years old the crown of all the front teeth in
the lower jaw has become triangular, and
the bride teeth are much worn down. Az
the horse advances 10 ago tho gums shrink
away from the teeth, which, consequently,
receive long, narrow appearance, and their
kernels have become mesamorphosed into a
darkish point, gray hairs increase in the
forehead and over the eyes, and the chin
assumes the form of an angle. rr -g

AN RLEGART HOME.

Besides having the finest office in the

Dick, is going to have an elegant home. We
copy from the Davenport Gazette:
Mr.. D. N. Richardson, of the Democrat,
commences in few days the erection of al
elegant and costly residence, on the Rich
ardson farm" in East Davenport. 1t will
Do of brick, and in architecture of the
Italian villa style, with an extreme frontage
on the lie Claire road Of So feet, and an
extreme depth of 20 feet. 1t will be built
IN the best st5 q throughout. The design is
from the hands of T. w. McClelland, Arehi-

be built is one among the most beautiful of
the many that adorn the banks of the msjes-

this ! ye toilers in the editorial harness, and

IT is pretty hard work for some men to
acknowledge the truth, but they will Jump
in minute to condemn lie. Now this lie
particularly true of certain class of Radio
al politicians, and We will prove right here,
in very few words, that il is true Of minis
tiers of the gospel, men who pray God to
keep their feet from by and forbidden ways,
and preserve them in the light of truth and
justice. Yesterday we stated that Mr.. John
son said to Parson McCalister that he did
not want any Dntchmen or Turner'S to vote
for him. We should have charged this
upon Mr.. Mayo, republican candidate for
supervisor. The ink was not dry upon the
paper, before Mr.. McCalister seizes a pen
and with a holy horror for anything false,
denys the statement, and sends it to the
Union for publication. Now we state
that Mr.. Mayo said he did not want Dutch
and Turner voteS. Having denied one
statement, Parson McCalister must either
deny the second or acknowledge its truth.
Unless he denies it, it stands proved. If he
should surprise all by acknowledging it,
then we have not demonstrated ell that we
SAID we would in the beginning of this
article. The clergy will watch the course
their brother takes in this matter, for
the reputation of the cloth is at stake.
