a well known individual whose fa;ni-

He protested that he was with the
South in spirit and feeling, and to
convince them of this fact he produced
letters from his wife, by which it ap-
peared that he communicated to her.
that it was neither prudent or safe to
express abolition sentiments in his
neighborhood. Upon this showing
he was permitted to leave, admoni-
ton, that the only condition upon
which he would be permitted to re-
turn and be recognized as a citizen,
was to bring his family. The good
people of Holmes acted prudently
and wisely in this matter, and their
example should be followed by the
whole South Vichsburg Citizen.

it was apparent the reason OF my

insisted that there was bread and
meat in the boat, which we had hid

it (; and keg of cool water which he
said we We're towing astern, and
from which we had repeatedly slaked

of burning fever in the heart, W hich
we knew water would assuage. We

madman? Then he became fearful

Parsnips-Management.

Whether in the kitchen garden for family
use or in the field for stock purposes, this root
deserves the attention Of farmers We cut,
long ago, the following from the Working
Farmer:
"Parsnips are materially improved by fire.
quent freezing and thawing, and therefore, no
more Of the crop should be taken up in the
fall than is required for fall and winter sales
or use; for those left in the ground during
winter are materially improved in quality for
spring use, beside increasing their quantity,
as they continue to grow until arrested by
very winter The digging of parsnips can
be best performed by the lifting subsoil pillow,
but merely to raise the whole mass Of soil. and
thus loosen them 80 that they may be pulled
out by their crowns. In addition to facilita-
ting the gathering of the psrsnips, this prac-
tice disintegrates the soil, so as to render its
spring preparation for other crops much more
readily performed. Psrsnips, after having
been frozen, form an excellent food for hogs,
and in moderate quantities, alternating with
carrots or beets for COWS, fatting cattle, etc.
In the Island Of Guernsey, milch COWS are
nearly sustained during the winter on the
parsnip. Upon this island they grow in great
perfection, and give an immense yield. We
have raised what a Committee of the Amer
lean Institute estimated at fifteen hundred
bushels of parsnips on q single acre. There
fore as an alternating crop, parsnips may be
grown with profit. Their culture cleanses the
ground Of weeds, and leaves it in high tilth
for other crops, while the parsnip does not
remove an undue quantity Of pabulum from
the soil. ."-Pratrie Farmer.

The Whitwe Rified Cannon.

Four Of the six rif1ed cannon of Whitworth's
patent, presented by loyal Americans in Eng
land to the American government, arrived by
the Persia, and one Of them has been to-day
on exhibition in the Park, attracting the at
tsntion of large crowd Of military gentlemen
and civilians
The gun exhibited is Of cast steel, a twelve
FOUNDER, weighing about one thousand pounds.
1t is nine feet in length, with rife bore three
and two-tenth inches in diameter, with one
turn in every sixty inches, making, for the
entire length of the gun, about two turns.
The quick turn and reduced bore are recog-
nized as being the special features of the Whit
worth system, both for rifed cannon and riaed
muskets.
The gun is breech-loading, being closed at
the breech end. when charged, by a cap,
screwed on something like the Gap Of pencil
except that handles are used in turning it.
The cap works in q hoop which is connected
by hinge joint to the breech of the gun.
The projectile is a long iron bolt, mechani-
cslly fitting the bore of the gun, which is
spiral hexagonal in section, with rounded cor
ners. The method of charging and working
the gun is as follows Two or three turns of
the handle unscrew the breech-cap, which is
received and supported in a hoop, and is then
swung to one side like an opened door, leaving
the breech end Of the gun exposed. The pro-
jectile is then pushed in, and behind it is in
serted a tin cartridge can, containing the pow
der, and shaped hexagonally to fit the rifed
bsre. The powder is kept in the cartridge can
by wad, or hexagonsl cake of lubricating
material, such as a mixture of wax and tallsw.
In the rear end of the tin case is a small ori-
fee corresponding with the vent, which is made
in the centre of the breech-csp. The tin car
fridge being inserted, the hinged hoop carry
ing the breech-cap is swung to, in oor-fashion,
and by turning the handles it is screwed firmly
on the breech of the gun. An ordinary fric-
tion fuzee is then inserted in the vent, made,
as stated, in the centre of the breech-cap, and
the piece is discharged, generally in less than
q minute from the time of beginning to load,
and that without any attempt at hurry.
When the piece is discharged there is no es-
cape of gases at the breech; and when the cap
is unscrewed and swung aside, the end Of the
tin cartridge is seized by hand, or by a suita-
BILE gripping instrument, and is withdrawn
from the gun. The case thus brings away with
it all the fouling deposits; and as the barrel is
thus completely fabricated by the wad, ne
sponging or cleansing by water is required; in
fact, the shots as they issue, clean the gun.
The gun, though breech-loading, is intended
to carry ball Of the proper size loaded at the
muzzle
Mr. Whitworth urges that his cannon may
be used as well for shOt as shell, and at mortar
elevations if necessary.-N. Y. Commercial.
