SHARPE's RIrLxs.-Ths following account
of Sharpe's Rifles from the Missouri Democrat.
wilibc read with interest at the present mo-
ment ~
ssThis recently invented weapon, If II pos
sesses one half Of tho power and capacity
claimed for it by Its proprietor, IL destined
soon to supercede every ether weapon for
warlike purposes now in existence. 1t is the
most ef1icacious and terrible nre-arm in exis.
tence. The small carbine now used by the
United States mounted men throws ball with
deadly accuracy one quarter OF a mile, and
can be fred ten times in q minute. 1t 10 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 this weapon, namely. a
small pocket pistol, calculated 10 throw Min
ME ball one hundred yards; rife suitable for
footmen, with range of ono mile, and . large
gun to throw two ounce bali or small shell
one mile asd half, or as far as a man or
horse can be seen to advantage. With this
latter weapon NJ. S. declares he can set on fire
house ship at distance of nearly two
miles, and prevent the use of field artillery,
by killing the horses before tho guns are bro'f
within good range.
ssThs rifle in the hand OF gcod marksman
is equal to ten inuskets, bsyoaets and all, for
place man six rods distant with . musket
and bayonet, and before he can bring tho bay
onet into use, the rife can be lesded aad dis
charged ten times. They carry balls with
great precision and force. Ar. Sharpe in
tends these rifles to become national weapon,
and should Congress, by using little liberal
ity, purchase the pstcnt, tho country would be
possessed of means of warfare unsqaalled In
the world.

A Terrible CASE OF HyDRopHoBIA About
two weeks since laboring man named Corne-
illus Wurze, a German, employed by farmer
on Glove road, near Flatbush, had one OF his
thumbs bitten by small dog on the place.
The wound healed in few days, and no par
ticular attention paid to it, but on Thurs
day last unmistakable evidences of hydropho-
bia were seen, and on Saturday the unfortu-
nate taken to Kings County Hospi-
tai in state of raving madness, in which con-
dition he remained for the most of the time
until Sunday, when nature becoming COM
plcteiy exhausted, he died.
When first brought to the hospital he was
secured to a bed by strong straps, but these he
broke loose from with the utmost ease, and it
required the strength of four able bodied men
to manage him at all. As it was he succeeded
in biting his main nurse in the arm through his
coat sleeve so as to draw blood. DIR. Turner,
of the hospital has taken the nurse under his
charge, and he anticipates no serious conse-
quences from the bite.-NetD York. Times.

Gov. SHAsNoS.-Tks Detroit Free Press,
Gen Csss's home organ, after publishing tt.:
petition of the people of Kansas TO The Pr<si-

"Accounts from Kansas conflicting
and exaggerated that il is difficult to deter
mine the exact truth regarding the conduct OF
Governor Shannon. We ars satisfied howev-
er, that there is good ground Of conlp lpls'nt
against him. There seems tn be 10
doubt that the late difficulties largely At
tributablc to inconsilerate haste or Siifui do
sign on his part. There MAS need OF cal
ling fov armed volunteers, and for I. States
troops in the matter OF TIE aiIray about the
land claim near Lawrence. There no
need OF issuing an intianniatory proclamation.
Even though there might have been the roroit
Gov. Shannon professed to suppose, he could
not have adopted worse policy to quell it. We
are painfully oppressed with the iEpreasioR
that the right man is not in the right place at
the head OF affairs in Kansas.

HOPED PETTTooArs.-It is gratifying to
know that under any circumstances, these bar
rel skirts of the ladies can be useful. Their
utility may be inferred from what etter-wri-
ter to the Times says of the Empress Eugene at
the closing ceremony of the Paris Exposition
s:IIer Msjesty wore a diadem of pearls and a
dress of scarlet velvet, over the skirt of which
was hung the prize lace for which Her Majesty
some time ago offered premium. The dress
was magnificent, and was enormously hooped !;
itwould have sufflced to cover a whole family

The RoBBEsr=os strHx=AxsaIcAx ExpREss
CexpxsY.-e-It VIII be remembered thatin the
month Of September last the American Eek
press Company was robbed of $50 900 in gold,
which it was conveying from Dubuque, Iowa.
to the New York branch of the Subtreasury
The Company failiug to recover the stolen
specie, paid over the amount to tho Treasurer
but did not at ali relax their efforts to ferret
out the thieves. The messenger, W. C. White
by name, who bad charge of the treasure du-
ring its transit by night from Chicago to De-
troit, resigned his Office at the end of the
month and came to this State. Mr.. Best a de-
tective officer in the employ of the Company,
after few weeks investigation. was at last
able to write to his employers that two men,
Oliver King, who formerly kept hotel in
Lowell, and VIM. c. Aver, formerly a broker
at No. IL, Brattle square in this city, had thro'
a third party, who has also been are sted de-
posted $4,000 in gold in the Haverhill bank,
and from other circumstances not yet diyul-
ged it was thought that they were in connec-
tion with White. 1t was subsequently ascer-
taincd that King, whose previous poverty WAS
well known, had made purchases of houses,
horses and other property. and seemed to be
rolling in wealth. Upon receipt OF this infor-
nation, Officer Best, with two of the partners
in the American Express Co., Mr.. Far
go and Mr.. Williams, Immediately started for
this city. Here they held conference with
the Chief of Police and other officers, and ac-
companied by Deputy Chief Ham, officers Saw
age and Lynch, they proceeded to Lawrence,
where King and Ayre reside. Arrived at Law
renee, Mr.. Ham, leaving the rest of his party
at the hotel, went out to reconnoiter, and soon
discovered Aver riding in one OF his newly
purchased carriages. Returning TO the house,
he met and arrested King at the very door, and
after placing him in custody, went in pursuit
Of Aver. lie soon captured him and returned
TO the hotel. In search of the premises
aud persons of these two men, silver plate,
gold, and bank bills, to the value of nearly
So 200, were found in the possession of King,
whose financial Transactions of ditfent kinds,
