DEe'Ih•_'CTlCY OF FA.R:I PRODUCE By Frig.—On
Wednesday -morning, about twe o'clock, gresst conster-
nation was caused in the quiet town of Barking, by the
outbreak of a tire, which in a comparatively brief period
laid in ruins propesty, valued at some thousand pounds
sterling.. The , scene of the misfortune was the Manor
Farm, belonging to Mr. Biggs. Building after building
kept dropping to the ground, and at last the whole of the
barns, the granary, the cow and horse lodges, and the
ricks of hay, straw, and wheat were destroyed. There
is an insurance of about £1,20Q in the Atlas Fire-office.
SINGULAR Accintir,s-The Other day aSboy was
brought to the South London Ophthalmic' Hospital,
who, while watching a man "shooting PA, nuts”. at
Stepney Fair, on Wednesday last, was struck in the
eye by the mounted needle which constitutes the charge
used for the purpose. , The cornea was penetrated by
the needle, and the pupil so injured as to hold out faint
hope of the boy's recovery Of his sight. One of • the
incidents of this species of " practice " is, that the
shooter is generally .surrounded by a crowd. of dirty
juveniles, who watch with intense interest, and often
criticise rather satirically his qUalificaions'as a Mark-
man : and as one of most conspicuous properties of
the . mounted needle is its eccentricity, of flight,. the
occurrence of accidents is not Much-to be wondered at; -
BinsiisiGUA.St 111FLES.—A trial. of certain rifles
Manufactured at a low cost by Birmingham was made
the -others day at Oldford Mills, Perry-burr, Birming-
ham, iu the presence of a large number of military men
and others. The flit fiftY rounds were. filed frOm an
Enfield musket of '433 bore, rifled with five ordinary
grooves, with one complete turn in twenty inches ; the
barrel was 'thirty-nine inches long, and the whole piece
was-of the same weight as those supplied to the army.
The weight of -the- powder used was 21 drachms, and
'thi-weifssht of.the bulldt7s:3o brains: The 'Singe in this,
as in the succeeding experiments, was 500 yards..'The
whole of the fifty hiillets were fired into a radius of nine
inches decimal 4, and up to, the fiftieth round the gun
was loaded with the same ease and facility as at the first,
without a trace of fouling. A second gun of the same
desiription was' next shot fifty times, the result being
nine inches decimal 60 : in the last ten shots from this
gun there were-seven bull's-eyes. A third gun:, with a
barrel 32 inches Wig, 'was then fired. the ridiusin this
case was ten inch*. The trial as continued, when
four other guns were shot at 500 yards, with results
still more favourable. The distance was then increased
to 700 yards, at which range mist satisfactory shooting
was made, the last four shots at this distance being all
of them bull's-.eyef., .
