Robe" after its enormous success of two
seasons at tho Empire Theatre, New York

The Duke Of Argyll has given the anti
vnccination!sts tho following 'testimo-
nisl:' II look upon the Objects Of vaccina
ton as one Of tho great triumphs Of
science, and l derlore the mania which
has set in, as the result Of Il long immu-
nifty from the disease, which has led to dis
crcditable and stupid forgotfulness Of It's
cause. The highlands of Scotland lii the
last century used to bo swept by the pesti-
lcnce to fearful extent. Defamation is
now inadequate to convey an idea Of the
effect on the population. Whole parishes
wero depopulated. All this stopped when
incubation came and vaccination subss-
quently. No fact in history is more clear

Sir Richard. Wilmington, moved by the
ruinous state Of the fabric and the terrible
state Of the jail, instructed his executors
to rebuild the gatc, which was done upon
