"Vaccination. —Dr. Simon, Physician to the Board of Health, Birmingham, Eng., in a late report in favor of vaccination goes fully into the hißtory of its adoption in various countries, and among other results, gives the following summary: In Sweden, the deaths from small pox, be fore yaccination was introduced, averaged 2,050 annually to each million of the popula tion ; now the deaths from the' same are only 158 per million annually. In Westphalia the decrease has been from 2,643 to 114 ; in Bohe mia! Moravia, and Austrian Silicia, from 4000 to 200. From such information as exists it seems probable that the small pox death-rate of London within the bills of mortality during the eighteenth century ranged from 3000 to 5000. For the years 1841-53 the average deaths from small pox were only 304; in. 1854, only 149 ; and in 1855, only 132. It is the same in the army and navy, and Dr. Balfour, in an important paper appended to Dr. Simon’s report shows that the mortality from small pox in the navy, is not a third, and in the army not a fourth, of the London rates. The ex perience of the Royal Military Asylum shows that in 48 years, only four deaths from small pox have occurred among 5774 boys, and these were of non-vaccinated boys. The answers to questions upon these points from 359 of the most eminent physicians and surgeons in the United Kingdom go to suppurt all that is en forced by Dr. Simon in his report. McKim the Murderer—Attempted Es cape—His Hobbles Sawed by a Case-Knife. —Our readers are well acquainted with all the circumstances attending the murder of Samuel T. Norcross, last winter, at Altoona, by David Stringer McKim—the escape of the brutal and cowardly murderer—his long and untiring pursuit—his final capture, trial, con viction and sentence to death. Since his in carceration in the jail at Ilollidavsburg, he has portinaciously insisted upon his innocence of the crime imputed against him, and, beyund all doubt, of which he was guilty. McKim has been clusely watched, and se curely, as was supposed, manacled ; but either on Monday or Tuesday night last, he managed to cut in twain the hobbles about his ankles. The irons were examined on Sunday night, by the jailor, and found to be in every way perfect. The only instrument discovered in the ceil by which ho could have done the work—and it is the neatest and must complete job we have ever seen—was a common case knife, with a slightly hacked edge. Had the discovery not been made in time, McKim would no doubt, successfully effected his es cape. As matters now stand, his chances are forever frustated, and the galluws alnne awaits its victim. The day fixed for his execution, is the 21st of August. A Fat Scrape ! — Mrs. Delaney, the fat lady-, who weighs 550 pounds, was married at Pitts burg on Sunday evening week to Mr. O’Neil, the agent for her exhibition. They started on Monday for Memphis,uuid on the same day William Delaney, the husband, telegraphed from Now York that he would arrive in 24 hourk at Pittsburg to travel with his wife. It will be difficult for tier to hide from him. •®ST*On Saturday morning last, the Broadtree Tunnel, near BeUsville, 37 miles east of Wheel ing, and upon the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, fell in for a considerable dis tance, burying the track beneath tons of r-arth. The., Tunnel, which is nearly 2700 feet in length, was constructed several years since by the company, and at an immense outlay. The amount of damage is not yet ascertained. Revs. Bishop Simpson and Dr. McClintock. —These gentlemen, it will be remembered, lately went from the United States as a depu tation from the Methodist Episcopal Church to the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Eng land. They attended the Irish Wesleyan Conference, being introduced by the Rev. Dr. Hannah, and were most cordially received. Their addresses to the Conference Clicied great warmth and kindliness of feeling, and that unanimously requested the deputation to repeat them at a public meeting, to which request they acceded. -The London Watchman speaks in the highest&crms of these addresses. Bishop Simpson also presented the address of the General Conference of the Methodist Epis copal Church, which, by a unanimous vote, was “ most cordially received.” Important Mail Improvement. —The Post- Master General has ordered a contract with jthe Pacific Mail Steamship Company for four 'years'from the Ist of October next, fur regular semi-monthly mail service-from San Francisco to Washington Territory, which secures to 'the Territories of Oregon and* Washington as regular mail service as now exists Between New York and San Francisco, California. Later from Kansas St. Louis, July 24.—The Republican has later advices from Kansas, which state that all was quiet there. Gov. Walker was' still at Lawrence, with four hundred dragoons, awaiting further action by the people before using decisive measures. He would attempt the collection of taxes in a few days. Cincinnati, July 23. —Twenty children, living on Buckeye street, a densly populated German neighborhood, were poisoned last evening, by eating lozenges which had been scattered along the street by a man and two boys, whose names are unknown. Two of the children are dead, and many others are not expected to recover. The man was seen to offer small packages of the lozenges to persons in the street, but they suspected something wrong and did not take them. The lozeDges have been analyzed, and found to contain equal parts of arsenic, sugar and flour. The cause-for the perpetration of this horrible at tempt on life has not yot been discovered, nor have any arrests been made. The German, Koehler or Leufner, who mur dered his wife and Mr. Horton, is still living, and faint hopes are entertained that he wiil recover from the wouDds inflicted upon him self in his attempts at suicide. He assigns as the reason for the double murder that Horton had a criminal connection with his wife. A Returned Fugitive. —The Augusta, Ga., Despatch of Monday says—“A negro boy, the property of Mrs. Morgan, returned yesterday on the South Carolina railroad from Boston, after an absence of eighteen months. We are unable to obtain the particulars, but Iparn that he became disgusted with the northern abolitionists, and returned to his mistress of his owm accord, preferring slavery and some thing to eat to freedom with starvation. Let our black republicanffriends make a note of this.” Sad Suicide.— The wife of Mr. Wm. Mar tin, of Parkesburg, Chester county, hung her self on Sunday week, with a scarf tied to the balustrade at the head of the stairs in her dwelling-house. She had been in ill health for some two years, and was subject to attacks of great depression of spirits, in one of which this sad deed was committed. Three Men Sentenced to be Hung. —The two-negroes recently- convicted of seating fire to the Maryland Penitentiary, and the German found guilty last week of committing a heinous offence on a little girl only five years of age, were on Friday sentenced by Judge Stump, of the Criminal Court of Baltimore, to be hung.
