EDITION,


GRAYsoN, KY, Oct. II, lSs3.-Every.
thing Is in readiness for the execn ion
to morrow OF Ellis Craft, who arrived
here with n Sherifi's posse Wednesday
evening. The Jail holding him and one
Fugitt, awaiting trial for wantonly
shooting Abe Anglin Friday night,
and against whom threats of lynching
were made, is strongly guarded.
Craft spent last night partly singing
and praying, partly sleeping soundly.
This morning he was baptized in Little
Sandy river by Elder Pinkerton, OF the
Christian church, having expressed the
desire to be immersed. The brother,
" no has spent a fortune In his defence,
to-day sent him message praying him,
If guilty, to acknowledge all. He re-
turned answer that he was innocent,
and all efforts to draw confession from
HIM brought the same reply.
The scaffold is built some distance
from the jail Just below the camp
ground of the soldiers sent to guard
Craft last February, and from bills on
either side the execution can be seen by
the public. In accordance with Crafts
desire only II few will be admitted
within an enclosure formed by ten
foot fence, Immediately surrounding
the scatfold. A strong guard will be
placed without the fence, and the town
is especially policed. An immense
crowd is expected, and many have al
ready arrived to see the hanging.
The drop will be about six feet, and
after the fall the rope will pay out two
feet lower, over roller. Craft will be
d .iven to the scatiold in wagon with
his CHASTITY comforter and guard. He is
singing and praying tonight, address,
ing God as a martyr.

A|RD EDITION,
Vaccination or Cnildren.

Ihe following paragraph Is from
DR.. Kane's paper on vaccination, pre-
sent and read before the late Legis-
lature and as it has an important bear
ing upon the vaccination, especially
Of children, 1t is given to the public
The limits of my paper do not allow
me to 60 80 full y into details Is l could
wish on the subject of proper vaccina-
ton. can only say that, to be certainly
effective, several inoculations should be-
male, and that we cannot be too par
ticular in selecting our lymph, which
should al Aays be fresh, and taken from
healthy children with well-tormed vesi-
cles.
Another point Of Importance is this ::
never vaccinate teething child, or one
having any cutaneous eruption, or who
has any affection Of the bowels or lungs,
unlesss it has been subjected to unusual
risk. A healthy child may be safely
vaccinated after 1t is six weeks old ;
but unless it has been in actual contact
with small.p' X, so as to make the risk
very great, it should not be attempted
at an earlier period.
After the sixth week we cannot vac
cinate a healthy child too early, as it is
desirable to avoid the teething period,
and statistics show that in England,
more than one-fourth of all the deaths
from smallpox occur III children undei
one year of age. The protecting power
OF. vaccination over those who have
heen exposed to smallpox contagion
depends solely upon the period at which
the operation is performed.
The eruption Of smallpox does not
appear until the fourteenth day after
exposure or incubation, while the vac
cine vesiclc makes its appearance on
the third or fourth day after the lymph
has been Inserted.
If vaccination is done sufficiently
early, it will outrun the smallpox, and
exert its protecting power, but it be-
comes valueless if performed 80 late
that the smallpox eruption appears OF
inc skin before IL has time to mature
