Who Expect to Beat Our Team.
 LONDON, May 23.-Sir Henry Halford says of the coming international rifle match. Last year asked MT, Hyde if he would arrange to bring over Q team of four or six men to shoot against us, and he said he would do so Now that America is to send team to Dolly mount, I have asked Mir. Hyde to make up his team to eight, as he will have an oppor- tunity of filling up from those who will shoot in Ireland To this he agreed. The match will be shot at Wimbledon on the last day of the meeting, Saturday, July 24. The ranges will be 800, 900 and 1000 yards Fifteen shots will be fired at each, under the same terms as those for the Elcho Shield, Palma and other long range matches, and will think, prove the most interesting match of the year.' The gentlemen who will form the British team at Wimbledon Sir Henry Halford, Martin R. Smith, John Rigby, Captain Fenton, Major Young, A. P. Humphrey, W. Fergu- son, H. Thornburg ''These are undoubted- ly the strongest long range shots in the United Kingdom. They are practising most indus triously.'

 NEW YORK, May 9, 1880. J Our stock market continued to show good deal of weakness and uncertainty in the early part of the week, but subsequently, became stronger, and on Wednesday and Thursday there much improved tone and some vigorous buying. Even yesterday the early dealings marked with fair degree of strength but all the improvement was checked and set backward by the break in Reading. As to the stock market before the last misfortune the opinion was gaining ground that strong buyers taking good many stocks at the lower figures recently made and that the worst of this decline had been experi enced.
 The Bond Market-Government securities have been very firm, the Treasury purchases absorb each week about all the floating stock of fves and sixes, and the ease in money expected during the next few months furnishes holders inducement Tol kbair

consequent upon vaccination with bovine mat
 ter procured from the Board of Health. The
 child was an unexceptionally healthy one.
 The vaccination was done on April 29th, and
 took" perfectly, but speedily afterward the arm began to swell, and finally the entire limb and part of the body were affected. The physician who vaccinated the child had no hesitancy in saying that the erysipelas was a consequence of the vaccination. The child grew rapidly worse, and, after a most painful illness, died on Thurs day morning in great agony. In an interview, the physician says: 'sIt is not an uncommon thing for apparently healthy children to be afflicted with erysipelas after vaccination. I should never advise the vac- cination of infants under Is months. While as matter of fact in this case the infant did suffer from eryapelas consequent upon vac cination, it is also true that if the infant had been scratched with pin, or any lesion had occurred, erysipelas might have ensued, owing to the condition of the childs system. I should think 1t very unfortunate if such 8 case should be used to prejudice ignorant people against vaccination. I should state the cause of death as traumatic erysipelas, or erysipelas resulting from wound, as yaccin- ation is only wound"
 Poisoned from Eating Lemon Pie.
 NEW YORK, May 23.-The boarders at Mrs. Alcott's house, No. 179 Remsen street, Brooklyn, was taken i'll yesterday morning. Dr. .Sherwen was summoned and he pro- nounced the symptoms such as would be produced from poisoning by acetate of cop per or verdigris. They had all partaken of lemon meringue pie at dinner the previous evening and the result was violent retching and headache. Two ladies and two gentle men who live opposite and who also had share of the pie at Mrs. A1cott's house were affected in a similar manner. Antidotes were administered with good effect and the patients are out of danger. A portion of the pie which was left was taken for analysis to Dr. Meninger.
 The family of MT. Wilson Bedell, of No 174 Prince street, who had also eaten lemon pie on the same evening" were at tackled in a like manner. MT. Bruce, the of MT. Bedell, suffered frightful agony, the muscles of his limbs being cramped to an alarming degree. Dr. Briggs, who was called in, said they were suffering from verdi gris poisoning, and he successfully adminis- tered the usual antidotes. The doctor pro- cured the remains of the pie, which he will carefully analyze.

A Story from the Sen.


 GREENPoRT, L. l., May 23.-A peculiarly marine yarn was spun here last night, pre- sumably to create a sensation among the natives" It was reported that the steam yacht Skylark had been chased by a rakish- looking craft which seemed to have very large crew; that the suspicious vessel even fired blank shot across the Skylark's bow,
 but that the latter being very fast, she sue cessfully eluded pursuit Moreover, the de- liant stranger exhibited black fag-a pirate standard, etc. The fishing smack Charles Miller reports having seen the vessel n ear Gardiners Island. She is schooner of about two hundred tons Her decks were filled with men A sailor put ashore from her and says he refused to go any fartherin her; that he shipped at Halifax, and that he believes the vessel will go to Cuba as 8 flibuster, or on some other expedition of this kind. The revenue cutter at New London will probably pay the stranger visit during the night and doubtless ascertain what truth there is in the above stories. The idea of either firing a shot or exhibiting black colors so near civili- zation and the steel shots of Uncle Sam is too preposterous for even the average rustic.

In this affidavit he refers to the duty of appointing board of delegates devolved upon him by the new Mcclure char ter, and draws attention to the conflict be- tween himself and the board of supervisors on this and other points special reasons for asking hearing in banc.
