IMPROVED FowLISG PIEcrs-Thc Scientific
American notices among the recent patents secured
from government, an Improvement in shot guns, by
Bucket & Dorsch, of Monroe, Michigan. The in
vention gives the barrel of the gun slightly undu-
lating form, for the purpose of causing all the shot
to strike within accrtan circle and prevent too much
scattering. The barrel is divided into an odd num-
her of parts say FIVE, seven, or nine, according TO
the length the parts being mndc alternately of lar
ger and smaller diameter The parts next the breech
and at the muZzle Of the larger diameter and the
intervening parts smaller and larger alternately, thus
producing an undulating bore. Many experiments,
it s said, have been made with guns of this construc-
on and the result Is that shot ftll within and
" r certain sized circle, never scattering be
yond. The American thinks that such guns must be
far effective for sporting purposes than the
binary kind.

SENATOR WILSON'S SPEECH, delivered in the
Senate on Friday last, brief sketch of which is
given in our congressional report, is pronounced
by the letter writer's from Washington to be the
ablest ever made by him. We shall publish it in
full when it comes to hand. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune tele-
graphs -" The Senate on Friday was occupied
wholly with the speech of speech of Senator Will
son. He spoke two hours and half, and never
made speech better adapted to the place and the
times. 1t was bold, manly, and eloquent He
referred to the ungenerous reference made by
Gen. Cass in his recent speech to Senator Sum
ner, and remarked that soon his colleague would
be returned to the seat (Which was now vacant by
the almost unanimous verdict of the people of
Massachusetts, while the senator from Michigan,
in obedience to the voice of the sovereign people
of his adopted State, will be obliged to retire. and
the seat which now knows him will know him no
more forever. Then, said Mr.. Wilson, when my
colleague shall have occasion to make known his
views to the Senate and the country, l know he
will not be SO unfair and uncomplaisant to speak
an unkind word of fits former occupant. This
sharp and deserved reference to the venerable
senator from Michigan fixed all eyes upon him,
but he sat unmoyed like dumb statue"

KANzAs.-From a letter dated Lawrence,
Nov. Is, written by Mr.. E. B. Whitman,
agent for the distribution of the supplies pro
vided by the Kanzas fund, and published in
the Aduertiser, we make the following ex-
tract:
" Everything here now is quiet. The
weather is quite inc, the settlers are full of
COURAGE, and are very busy in preparing for
winter. The clothing has arrived in large
quantities, and is being distributed to all parts
of the territory, apparently in good and fair
plan. Fault is found, and complaints made !;
but have learned that such may be the case
without cause. 1 shall prepare myself to give
a full and minute account of the manner in
which the business is done. Could our noble
women of New England see the good they
have done they would feel thousand times
repaid for all their labors. One can hardly
stand by an hour and see the calls that are
made without shedding tears of gratitude that
the supplies have been so promptly furnished.
Before there had been time to send off sup
plies to the remote settlements widow and
four children came seventy miles in an OK
wagon to get clothes and provisions. intend
to get list OF the articles furnished her.
Large quantities of provisions are being pur.
chased. $4,000 worth of flour has been pur-
chased in Lexington, Missouri and is now
being delivered here at the rate of hundred
sacks per day. Large supplies of groceries
are also being laid in.
The prospects of freedom here were never
so bright az at this moment. A perseverng
continuance of exertion OH the part of the
friends of freedom at the North, will most
surely accomplish the work. Experience will
lead to some modification in the plan of ac-
ton

of the members of the Young Mems Repub-

withstanding the severity of the weather, by
over two thousand persons. Col. and Mrs
Fremont. the family OF Gov. Reeder. Gov.
King, Preston King, Elk Lieut.. Coy. Patter.

Gates OF the Republican cause in this city,

FAMILY SECRETS COMING QUA a recent
meeting in North Carolina, Kenneth Bayner
publicly stated that during the late canvas ga
gentleman of his acquaintance in Phiadel-
phia was approached by an emssary from
Forney, the Chairman of the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic State Committee, who told
him if he would exert himself. not for the
Democrat party, but for the Straight Fillmore
ticket, 500, 900 aoould be placed TO his credit
an any bank he might select" He also said
that Mr. Sanderson, the head OF the straight
Fillmore diversion, has, since the election,
purchased a house worth 500 900, although
it was well known he had not for many a
month previously, been worth anything Pc
cuniarily. The credibility of this exposure is
increased by the manner in which it was
brought out. MIR. Rayner, in order to clear
himself from the stigma of abolition, goes in.
to the camp Of the enemy, and tells them how
much they were benefited by this same Fill
more diversion. The above statement is one
of the incidents of his defence.

THE CLERKsHIP OF THE SENATE The Fitch.
burg ReueiHe is informed that Austin L. Rogers of
Worcester is a candidate for the clerkship of the
Senate. Carefully prepared printed tables are in
circulation, showing that Worcester Couaty has
not been properly considered, in the organization
of the Legislature. for the last twenty or thirty
years The table is doubtless intended to sug-
gest that atonement for this injustice should be
made by the election Of Mr.. Rogers to the Senate
clerkship.
With plurality of five thousand votes in the
county in favor of the senatorial ticket which Mr..
Rogers opposed upon purely party grounds, we
hardly think his "printed tables will avail any
I hing against the Republican candidate for that
office, William S. Robinson, Esq, of Concord,
than whom no man in the State possesses higher
qualifications, and no man in the Republican par

A Guild KILLED IN THE ARMS OF ITS MOTH
Err. A heart.rending occurrence took place
in Stockport, Columbia county, N. Y, in

of scissors. The sisters Were engaged in an
angry conversation, when Miss Patner in a
tit of rage, threw the scissors at her sister with
great force, the point striking TIE child upon
his breast, penetrating to the heart. The in
nocent little one exclaimed, g Oh, mother ~
