HOW THE ABSENCE OF FRUIT HAS PROVED
DISASTROUS IN SOME LOCALITIES.

HOW THE ABSENCE OF FRUIT HAS PhoVED
DISASTROUS IN SOME LOCALITIES.
The seasons have, for some two years, been
destructive to fruit in some portions of Viz
ginia-so that, save the wild fruits, at the
head of which stands that semi-barbarian,
the blackberry, the housewives had not
wherewithal for preserves and pastries. This
has been especially the misfortune of the
region in and around the good county OF Pa.
trick. So complete was the destruction OF
the fruit crop, that neighborhood distilleries
had nothingto make brandy of, and of course
no brandy was made. The drought cutting
short the corn crop in different sections OF
the State, the farmers found it better to trans
port and sell corn to those sections than to dis
pose of it to the distilleries for the purpose
ofmanufacturing whit key. The consequence
was that the home made liquor ran low, and
to supply the demand, it became necessary
to import the article from distance. The
result has been disastrous. Veteran topers-
the heroes of q thousand fields well fought
with King Alcohol-men whose rudy and
cheerful faces shed glow about them.
whose loud and hearty laugh was ready
chorus to all good stories-men in short who
had grown to be features of their bailwicks,
whose presence was the signal for fun and
frolic-were in few weeks or months all
killed off. They found an antagonist who
was too hard for them, and they succumbed.
First their joeund phizes became serious,then
dolorous and rueful-next their laugh was
gone-their underpinnings shrunk to mere
isths, aud locomotion was suspended finally
their lives were surrendered in martyrdom
to the imported alcohol, and the exigencies
of the seasons. This shows how in round
about way affection is brought upon peo-
pie. 1t is to be hoped we shall have good
fruit year, and that the primitive people in
question, who have not yet learned how to
drink the imported distilments, may be able
to return to their own home made liquor. p.

minishing great evil BY curtailing their
nrt,nber7 Whatever il be. 1t Is certainly the
fact, that from the warrior to the politician.
the whole study seems to be how to kill off
men the warrior has his Paixhans, his Ian
caster guns, his Minnie rifles, his revolvers.
his shells, his mines, and FIRE and sword in
all sorts of shapes, and marches about with
his gilded uniform and waving plumes, proud
of his vocation; the politician has but his
broad mouth, capacious throat. and lungs of
leather, either to swallow his antagonist or
talk him to cath! Each is bent on destruc-
tion; but we cant understand the whole phi
losophy of this killing; for although we
agree with the destructives that few are fit
to live. it is equally certain that as few are
fit to die-especially among the politicians
We have to notice the following new in.
vention for slaughtering purposes:
At Baltimore, an Improvement in artillery
is exhibited, called Shaw & Ames' Patent
Revolving Battery" 1t consists of brass
cylinder, revolving horizontally, and con-
tanning any number of chambers, with q sta
tionary barrel. 1t is loaded, primed, fired
and swabbed, all with one simple movement
of break, which was repeated eighty times
in one minute The whole operation can be
performed by one man.
At Boston, ON Saturday week, an expert
mental trial was made with breech-loading
carbine, patented by Col. j. ID, Green, which
was discharged fifteen times at a target IT'S
wards distant but one ball missing the mark.
At 200 yards, twenty-six shots bit out of 3d.
| The carbine weighs only seven pounds, aud
| can easily be discharged ten times per
minute.
In New York new revolving rifle has

many advantages over Colts invention Ii

| Two or more sets of barrels may be used IN
