SEVERE GALE AT NoRruUNBERLASD.- Our
sober neighhors, both at Northumberland
and Guildhall, have had a great blow among
them.
At three o'clock on Monday morning fu-
rious northwest wind, amounting to almost
a hurricane, came down upon them through
the valley.
The Bridge across tho Connecticut, covered
and three hundred feet in length, was literal
ly lifted up and set down upon the river be-
low, where it still furnishes n convenient
crossing place for foot passengers. A portion
of it's roof, more than twenty feet long was
driven by the great force of the wind, up IT.
to the road in front of the dwelling g-house of
Charles Bellows, Esq.
That Of Mr.. James c. Hall, on the Vermont
side, had all the windows and sky.lights
blown in and was otherwise damaged.
A birch stick OF feet long, and some 10
by 20 inches, was blown from Bellows mill
yard, up the hillside to the middle of the
road, AZ good distance above.
On both sides of the river, chimneys were
blown down, windows broken in and fences
overthrow in abundance. A shed of Charles
Woods was blown down. So was tho barn
connected with the Jail at Gnildhall. The
shed and back room connected with the store
at Guiidhall. VT, lately occupied by Mr..
Hubbard, were nearly destroyed. The dam.
age to tho bridge alone, is estimated ut two
thousand tive hundred dollars. Our friends
above us had good reason to be alarmed, and
many Of them betook themselves, very prop.
erly for protection to their cellars.-C Coos

GrTHE NINE RIFLE AND LANCASTER Gun
We find in our exchanges the following dis
criptions Of these improved arms, which are
playing so important part in the Crimea.
The MIME riae, 40 sure and deadly even at
an immense distance, and which has done eze-
cuton in the hands of the French ehasseurs
in the trimea owes it's superiority entirely
to the form of the hall the rifle has no pccu-
liarity. The bull, invented by French off,
Ger named Minie is ohlong with conical
point and hollow ut the base, in which cup
Of sheet iron is placed, which being expand.
cd by the force of the powder, spreads the
ball and causes it to fit closely to the grooves
Of the barrel. This is the secret OF its won-
derful precision. MIME himself planted ball
after ball in succession in IL target the size Of
a hat at distance Of e-fourths of mile,
and said any man could do it after a little
practice. So dreaded is this fital ball that
Russian gunner goes 10 his station at an
emhrasure as to certain death.
Almost every one knows that the efficiency
of the common rid, is owing to the groove in
the barrel, which, being spiral, acts upon tho
soft substance of the le,den bullet, and gives
it IL rotary motion before leaving the muzzle
of the rife, which continues until the ball ia
stopped. By this means the heavy side is
alternately turned in all directions. SO that
any tendency in one direction is Immediately
countcrbalanced by revolution Of the bullet
which changes the position of the heavy side,
and the result is that the ball flies in direct
line. Now, however well this plan may an.
swer for small arms and leaden balls, the
groove is impracticable for cannon and cast
iron balls. and il has long been problem to
discover some means Of making rife can
non.
The Lancaster gun processes to have ac-
complished this by means of an elliptical
bore, out Of which is thrown an ellipticul
prujectile, either shot or she'll. The gun is
large, because it is at u long range that its
great precision Of aim tells best over the COM
mon gun, and its appearance is that of an
ordinary large cannon, except that the mouth
instead of being circular, is elongated like IN
egg. having one axis longer than another
We will suppose that the mouth is the largest
mp and down-that is, that the longer axis is
vertical, 50 that the aattened ball fitting it
would stand on it's edge but the bore winds
gradually from the mouth to the breech of
the gun, 50 that when the ball is driven home
TO the proper position when the gun is load
ed, it will have turned / around, and will
lie rizontaly-that is, at right angles to
the longer axis Of the mouth OF the gun, and
on its side. When the gun is fired, the ball
must make one revolution for every four
lengths OF the gun, and thereby counterbal-
ance any impertectIon in its shape which
would otherwise defect it,

Gainst their 'lords'-they' d make them yield

Whereunto we yet shall grow.
But trespass on your patience
And must hasten my farewell
Merely glancing at the tablets

Late has seen rcbellous standards
In her crowded realms unlurled,
And her Emperor exalted,
From his throne may yet be hurled.
Across fair Europes hills and plains
Come stirring sounds of battle
Where men are driven to slaughtering fields
Like "poor dumb driven cattle"
England joins with France and Turkey,
Against Russa's growing pride,
And the nations wait the moment
Which the contest shall decide,
But the Bear is cool and wary,
Lying in his native lair,
While as yet the angry Lion
Nainly roars against him there.
How twill end | cannot tell you,

And that nations in commotion
Might enjoy once more peace.

Yet let his visits to your door
In kind remembrance dwell.
