NEW ALBANY RIFLED CANNON. L
We learn from the New Albany Ledger
that Stephen Stucky has had a trial of the
rifled.cannou which he has been making at
the Phoenix Foundery, and it proved an en-
tire success. Two shots were fred with two
pounds OF powder, and three with pound
ard q half which is sufficient TO test the
metal. Only one Of the balls could be found,
the remainder having gone over the knob on
q visit TO Mooresville. There is no defect
about the piece but what can be remedied,
and it is the intention of the inventor to
have it permanently mounted and thoroughly
tested during the present week.
