fancy they can discover a resem-

crow eyes, but the likeness is pure

the deadly poison nut. The latter

Hindoos, and its nature and proper

DISTRESSING INCIpENT.--Last week
a son of Col. Joseph j. Winter oil
this county, returned from Kansas
after an absence of some three
wears, we believe. His appearance
had so changed that even bis faith
er did not recognized him when he
entered the paternal mansion. AZ
ter the son had made himself known,
the father stepped to The door OF an
adjoining room and called two 0! his
daughters informing them that GET
tleman desired to see them. Upon
entering the room the yonng ladies'
did not at first recognize,their broth
er; but almost instantly the eldest,
named Cecilia, recognized him and
sank instantly to the floor, dead.
Being somewhat delicate, the joyous
surprise Of thus unexpectedly meet
ing her long absent brother, to whom
/ she was dearly attached, was Too
much, and her gentle spirit took it'
flight to realms where her happi-
ness viii endure forever. Cldrksba1gl

had never before seen the process,
and was surprised by its simplicity.
All those landscapes, hunting scenes,
pastoral groups, and whatever else,
which appear as exquisite engravings
in the glass, are produced by few
tiny copper wheels or disks. The en-
graver sits at small lathe against
a window, with a little rack before
him, containing about a score Of the
copper disks, varying in size from the
| diameter Of a half penny down to its
thickness, all mounted on spindles
and sharpened on the edge. He.
paints a rough outline of the design
on the surface Of the glass, and Sc
lecting the disk which suits the best,
he touches the edge of the instru-f
ment with drop of oil, inserts it in
the mandril, sets it spinning, and hol-
ding the glass against from below, the
little wheel eats its way in with as
tonishing rapility. The glass, held
tightly in the hands. is shifted about
continually, till all the greater parts
of the figure are worked -out, then, |
for the lesser parts a small disk is US

as blades of grass. the tips Of antlers,

CUNNING ACCIDENTS.

oAquandom correspondent at Wash

/ All accidents from the use of fire
iarms are attributed to carelessness.--
| Such, however, is not the case.-
/ -Four accidents out Of every five that
occur is the resultof excessive care,
or rather of ignorance. Without
claiming for himselfali the knowledge
in the use of fire arms. little is haz-
ardedin asserting, and you can tes-
tify that few if any in this, country
have burnt as much gun powder with
in he last twenty-five or thirty years
as your correspondent Some little
knowledge should be obtained from
so much experience. II may here
state that, in thirty years hunting;
| but two accidents CT a serious nature
have occurred, both of which may
be attributed to excess of care; or, in
other words, from permitting the
hammer to rest on the cap. Such
was also tie case in toe tive accidents
referred to above. Previous to the
introduction of percussion locks acci-d
dents were rare, simply from the fact
that the sportsman was compelled
necessarily TO keep his gun half
cooked; and lam not alone in main
tanning that it is much safer to carry1
gun whole cooked than with the
hammer resting on the cap g6 rs.
have frequently been saluted with |
the sage remark of some wiseacre:
@Your gun is cooked, sir!''s Upon
my replying, at is only half cooked,
the rejoinder was rather admonitory
than interrogativey, 'is it not dan
gerous?" s5s,,., |
A gun shoulG always be carried at
half cock, unless in the immediate
prospect OF a shot. at such time
it should be whole cooked, with the
muzzle elevated. Accidents are
quite as liable to occur from hastily
cooking gun as from premature dis
charge while whole cooked; but there |
is no excuse for permitting the ham
mer to rest on the cap. Should the
gun be empty keep it half cooked,
for in addition to acquiring habit of
safety the gun is less liable to miss
fire when reloaded, which miss fire is
occasioned by the condensation in
the barrel settling in the nipple. The
hammer prevents its drying. and rust
and miss fire is the consequence.
