Improred Method of Yaccination.

In view of the great spread of the
small poX at the present day in
America and Europe, and the import
ance Unsuccessful vaccination, the sug-
gestion of an English physician, Mr..
Ellis, may be Of some Importance.
This gentleman remarks that ordina-
~ vaccination is performed bys.scrap-
ing off the epidermis, and thrusting
the vaccine virus into a puncture
made by the lanees. A greatly i'm
proved method, however, consists in
first raising a small blister by a drop
of cantharides applied to the skin.
This is to be pricked, and the drop of
fluid let out, and then a fine vaccine
point put into this place, and with
drawn after a moment of delay the
epidermis falls back and quite eX-
cludes the air, shutting out any germs
that may be floating in the atmos-
phere.
This method has been practised by
Mr.. Ellis for twenty years ; and out
of hundreds of cases of vaccination
which he has performed, he has new
eT had an instanceSOf blood-poisoning
or abscess, while by the ordinary
method the occurrences of secondary
abscess is by no means uncommon,
and that of pymemia is often observ-
ed. The comparative safety of this
method is believed to be due, first, to
the exclusion of the air; and second
to the lesser size of the aperture for
the introduction of mischief than
when the punetures are made by the
lancet.-HdTper's Magazine.

We are often infinitely mistaken,

we envy the happiness of rich and

I canker that eats out all their Joy and
delight, and makes them much more
miserable than ourselves.
A firm trust in the assistance OF

The CHRONICLE.

A writer contributes to the columns
| of the Chester, Pa, Republican an ar
ticle on ''TOny Weller's Widows -
! from which we extract the following:
Another very cOurtable widow was
a young lady of Washington, Pa,
She became engaged to a young man
named Robert. in1S46. Her faith
er, however, objected to this match
with one of his clerks, and when the
young girl received a tempting pro-
pOsal from a wealthy sutton, the pa
ternal influence vol effected q mar
rage, despite the previous engage
ment. In less than three months her
husband was killed by a kick from a
horse. Robert vas a second time a
sutton, but delayed the important
question until fifteen months had
elapsed, when to his horror, she in
formed him that she was engaged.
In three months thereafter she was
married. Two years elapsed, when
the married couple removed to SYRIA
cuse, n. Y. where, among the victims
of the cholera, when the pestilence
swept that city, was the second.
Robert again sought her hand, and
when a year had elapsed, was on the
eve of a declaration, when 10! he re-
ceived an invitation to her wedding !
Her late husbands business was
found in such a state that to avoid i'm
men losses, she married the surviv-
ing partner. Shortly after, she re-
moved with her third husband to De-
tTOit, Michigan. A few years elapsed
when herself and husband were on a
steamer that wrecked near Buffalo.
The husband persisted, and the wife
escaped solely through the exertion of
a friend who was on board. His gall
lantry inspired such sentiments in her
breast, that she married her brave pre-
server in n few months after her third
widOwhoOd. The happy pair removed
10 Pittsburgh, where her husband was
engaged in business. Thither Robert,
still cherishing his first love, followed
them. One day as he was passing the
door of the husbands store, he saw a
terrible commOtiOn. Rushing in, he
beheld the mangled corpse of that
gentleman on the floor. A tierce of
rice being hOisted to an upper story
had fallen through the traps, killing
him instantly. AnxiOusly Robert in
quired if anyone had been sent to in
form his wife, and was told that the
bOokkeeper had just gone. Robert
started for Allegheny city, where the
deceased had resided, at the top Of his
speed. The bOOkkeeper was just
ahead of him, and from past expert
enee knowing the virtue of prompt
action and appreheDding that the
clerk had designs on the widow, he
ran for dear life, side by side. The
race continued until they reached
Hand street bridge, when the clerk
was obliged to stop to pay the tolls,
while Robert, a commuter, passed
without stopping. Reaching the
house OF the widow first, Robert told
the heart rending news, and almost
in the same breath made a PROPOSE
ton of marriage. He was accepted.
True to her promise, after a year of
mourning she became his wife. As
all her husbands had died wealthy,
Robert-was comfortably fixed, after
all. This case is a remarkable exam
pie of what pluck and perseverance"
will do for a man, while at the same
time it teaches a lesson on the danger
of delay.

OUR NATIONAL WHEAT CROP.


Such frequent illusions have been
made by the fact that our American
wheat CROP is rapidly ~deterioating, that
it would seem as though farmers of
the country would rise en- mdsse and
resolve that they will retrieve their
regulations and at the same time their
fortunes by proving that they are not
only capable of but determined TO
maintain unimpaired the original fer
tility Of the soils.
Here and there we find one who APP
pears to adopt the determination and
the pity is that there are not more
Thus for instance we find it recorded
that on Sherward Island, California,
siXty-nIhe bushels of wheat have been
raised to the acre. Now it is not to
be expected that such an enormous
yield as this could be made general,
but it seems to show that we have
wheat lands in the United States IN
surpassed in the world.
Again 1 noticed a day OF two since
that in Monroe county, Pa, a trife
owe forty bushels per ere of Dhiel
wheat was raised. The owner of the
farm on which this fine crop was gath
cred plows to a depth of twelve inch
es, the burrows are leveled with a har-
row and the soil is then thoroughly
disintegrated with a wheat cultivator,
with teeth fifteen inches long and
drawn by four horses. The seed bed
is thus twelve inches deep, the land is
largely clayey, deep and fertile. Now
as there are millions of acres of lands
similar to this in our country, why
cannot the same thing be done on
them? fit be possible for one man
to raise forty bushels of wheat to the
acre, why should not all farmers with
equally good lands do the same o. at
east approximate to it?
Even in Burlington county, n. J.,
we find farmers who grow an average
crop ofover thirty bushels to the acre,
and if the proper system were adopted,
this happy state of affairs would pre-
vail generally, or at least we would be
able TO report an average crop, which
year for year would exceed the pres
ent one at least one half.
Planting as deep as the nature of the
soil will permit, the thorough pulveri-
cation of the entire depth of the seed
bed and a liberal application of manure
are the requisites, and these are with
in the reach of all who have the spirit
to avail themselves of them. If we
had such q system of cultivation as
should prevail, and as is followed by
farmers to whom allusion in this arti-
Gle has been made, the average wheat
crop of the country would not be less
than twenty-five bushels.-C0F. Jour
nal of the Farmer.

Young folks should be mannerly-
How to be so, is the question. Many
a good girl and boy feel that they cam
behave to suit themselves in the pres
enee of company. They feel timid
bashful and self d~istrustful the mo.
ment they II addressed by stranger,
or appear IN company. There is but
one way to get Over this feeling and
acquire easy and graceful manners
that is, do the best they can all the
time at home as well as abroad. Good
manners are not learned by arbitrary
teaching so much as acquired by hab-
it. They grow upon rs by use. We
must be courteous, agreeable, civil,
kind, gentlemanly and womanly at
home, and then it will become a kind
of second nature to be so everywhere.
A course, rough manner at home be-
gets a habit of roughness which we
cannot lay off if we try, when we go
among strangers. The most agreea-
BILE people we have ever known in
company are those who are perfectly
agreeable at home. Home is the
school for all good things, especially
for good manners.

California emigrants have a sum-
mary way of disposing of murderers.
A party of 500 were encamped near
Council Bluffs recently, when one of
their number murdered a young
herdeT. When the news of the deed
reached the camp, search was made
for the murderer. 1t was found that
he had been arrested and taken before
a magistrate. An emigrant tersely
describes what followed: 1--WE, the
500 emigrants. quietly marched to the
Justices court and demanded the
prisoner. They refused to give him
up. We, the 500 emigrants, took him,
tried him, condemned him, and hung
him on the same tree he had murder
ed his victim under, Farewell, vain
world were his last words, as the
mule walked away and left him there.

mule"
