Sharpe's Rifle.

This recently invented weapon if it possesses
one half Of the power and capacity claimed for
it by the proprietor is destined soon to super
sede every other weapon for warlike purposes
now in existence. 1t is the NEST etficacious
and terrible FIRE arm in existence. The small
carbine now used by the United States mounted
men throws ball with deadly accuracy one
quarter of mile, and can be fired ten times
per minute. 1t is not complicated in structure,
is easily cleaned, and suffers no injury from
wet weather. Mr.. Sharpe is now preparing
models for four new species of his weapons,
namely: A small pocket pistol, calculated to
throw Mimic ball one hundred yards q cav
airy pistol, with range oil rive hundred yards
4 rifle suitable for foolmen, with range of one
mile; and large gun calculated to throw a
twoounce ball or small shell one mile and a
half, or as far as man or horse can be seen
to advantage. With this latter weapon Mr.. s.
declares he can set on fire house or ship
at distance of nearly two miles, and proven,
the use of field artillery by killing the horses
before the guns are brought within good range
This rife, in the hands of a good marksman, is
equal to ten muske,s, bayonets and all; fol
place man six rods distant with musket
and bayonet and before he can bring the bay
onet into use the rifle can be loaded and dis
charged ten times. They carry balls with
great precision and force. Mr.. Sharpe intend.
these rifles to become a national weapon.

The Maine Farmer tells how to winter one
hundred head of sheep on two acres of land.
But have done better than that. This is the
way do it, and not on rich, highly -manured
land
take for the purpose nothing more than q
common wheat soil; if rich, the growth is apt
TO be too large. Iplow it deeply, harrow il well,
and about the 10th of June SOW two and half
bushels of corn. use the large variety; pillow
in with shovel, pillow, or cultivator, and if weeds
try to grow among it, they will get heartily
tired of such sickly life, and try to grow among
something else the next time; leave standing
until the leaves get scared, and the crop loses
weight some; then cradle down when dry, and
put up in loose shocks, tie at the top with rye
straw, and leave standing until wanted for
feed; it may be fed cut short, or as it is on
clean ground.
In this way have wintered one hundred head
of sheep without grain, and in good order, on
an acre and half of land. have not had a
better clip OF wool, nor lost fewer sheep, mol
raised better crop of lambs, for five years
than have done this spring

THE PREsIDENT,s MESSAGE.

We published in our last issue the Annual
Message Of the President to the two Houses OF
Congress, but did not have the opportunity OF
accompanying its publication with suitable
commentaries. Nor do we design, at the pres.
emit time, to present to our readers any thing
bearing the character Of detailed and elabo.
rate exposition Of the points Of that important
document. Yet, while we forbear at present
TO express our views IN e1tenso on the various
topics presented in the message, we shall take
occasion, in future numbers Of the Sentinel, to
discuss the Presidents recommendations.
However, while we defer to future occasions
the discussion Of the specific points of this doc.
ument 1t becomes us as politicians Demo
cratic journalists, to give to our readers opr
general estimate of its character.
1t is not so long as such papers usually have
been in latter years, and this we regard .,
great improvement.
1t is written in good, plain, lucid style, and
il happily free from that rhetorical flourish and
theatrical display which too often mark Ameri
can State papers.
Its exposition Of the relations of the States
to the Federal Government and to each other,
is most clear and satisfactory, and has drawn
compliments from those who like ourselves be-
long to the State-rights school Of politics.
We content ourselves for the present with
these brief remarks. The reports of the Heads

Who have faith in God and Nature,
Who believe that in all ages

And are lihed up and strengthened

Where the tangled barberry bushe.

Over stone walls gray with NOSES.
