BLACKBEARTED AcT.-We have reason to
believe that The account of the obbery and AT
tempted murder Of Mr.. Dill A. Smith by Dr. Tap.
pan, of Steubenvilie, published in this paper last
week, originated with some bIackhearted scoun-
drel to CRAFTY his own malignant feeling The
matter was contained in a postscript Ia letter
from Smith TO his wife. That part Of said letter
was exhibited to us on Saturday, and on exam-
nation we were fully convinced that the seal had
been broken and the postscript inserted by some
villain, into whuse hands the letter had fallen,
either to wound the feelings of the wife Of Mr..
Smith, or to injure The good mama and character
of DR.. Tappan.-Pinsburg Age Of Monday

cling to their numerous friends and customers, that
they have now on hand large supply of the above
ploughs of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change Of times we are enabedt to offer at great

From the liberal encouragement extended TO us
last year by the sale of 1000 Of these poughs,
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair no pains in selecting the verybest

skill in their construction The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be to those who
purchase Of US. We have now plough which is
SO we'll adapted to SOIL that it sets all COMPETE

Of the mould-board is constructed strictly scien-

the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section of the country
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one
third more work in day, with far greater ease and
in much better manner, than with one that will

Rifle SHoorlNG.-It is fact not general
~ known in this country, that in Switzerland
the national sport is rifle shooting. There is
scarcely boy or girl OF fourteen years of age
who does not shoot well, while as nation, no
other under the sun can cope with them in the
use of the rifle. 1t is said that the Swiss clubs
were never beaten in national match until
July. 1912, when their champion was beaten
by Capt S. Lloyd, of this city, the report of
which. from this paper, has been copied half
the world over. 1t is not surprising that the
Swiss should excel in the use of the rife !;
their principal game--the chamois-and their
local situation in the heart of Europe, sur
rounded by powerful nations, with no other
defence than the mountainous character of
their country, and their proficiency in the use
of this effective and death dealing weapon.
would alone account for il; but other induce.
ments are presented in addition to their patri.
otto or sporting impulses-,he government an
nually appropriates large sums of money to
be distributed 10 prizes, some Of them as high
as $4,000, TO the best marksman. and which
are open to be shot for by every native citizen
without exception. Last year Lord Vernon.
an English nobleman. was, by special act of
government, made a member of the National
Rife Club. He is known as one of the best
shots in England, and while 10 Switzerland
shot match, parallel to which we have
never heard of. He shot 1000 rounds day.
for six days. using six rifles, and having four
men 10 load for him: But though he shot re.
,markably well. he lost his match; Young
Swiss mountaineer, whose name, unfortunate,
]y, has escaped the memory of our informant.
was the winner. The young man shot one ri.
fe. loading for himself; after two days' shoot.
ing, Lord Vernon offered him 900 franks for
his rifle, and another thousand if he would
draw the match. both of which the high spirit.
ed Swiss refused.
We are told that it is not unusual to see six
or seven thousand rifemen on the ground at
one time, on the occasion Of the matches for
the Government prizes. Some fifty or sixtv
shooting galleries are laid out, and the dis.
lance is 545 feet. They shoot off hand. The
annual matches for the government prizes take
place generally in the month of Nav and The
shooting continues for week.
The gentleman from whom VIA de,;vo ,t;s
information states that in July 1874, is expect.
ed to come off the grandest display ever known
in the country. The government has already
selected the place of meeting, which is at S..
Jaques, near Basic, and increased the prizes
by towns and corporations, one town alone
giving $4,000. A member of the National
Club, now in this city, apprises our informant
that it is expected that moi less than rs. 600
1lfiemen will be assembled. from every town
