ga gentleman who has tried ii says that
Kerosene, or coal oil, is an almost infal-

A Sharp Shooters Duel.

From one Of the many descriptions Of the
capture of Fort Donelson we extract the fol-
lowing:
intended to mention before this distin-
guished duel that occurred on the battlefield
on Saturday last, between one of Colonel
Bridges sharp shooters snd crack shot in
side the enemy's Notifications.
The FedeYaIist was stationed on hill ad-
joining the entrenchments, aud at an early
hour in the morning the secession foe placed
his rifle on a parapet and fred ball through
the Uaionists that. The sharp shooter
returned his fire, received second shot, aud
sent another, and from that time until four
o'colock in the afternoon, the TWO continued
discharging their pieces without injaring one
another.
Both fred accurately; but both concealed
their persons as much as possible, and endeav-
ored TO deceive each other by putting their
bats on their ramrods, and thrusting their
coats from behind the fortifcations or the
trees. Whatever was exposed almost invari-
ably received bullet; but the two wsTe so
wary and skillful that il seemed they might
fire until dooms day without danger to each
other.
About the hour have mentioned, however,
the rebel, forgetful of prudence, thrust his
head over the breast work, thinking no dcubt
as bis enemy bad not fred for fVe minutes,
that be might be dead.
The movement was fatal. His head was
not exposed five seconds; but in that brief PEI
riod the sbarpshooter's bali passed into the
rebels brain, and stretched him out corpse
before the unfortunate fellow had been able
to determine where bis enemy was lurking, or
by whose band be was destined to fall

SINGULAR BOTTLE STORIES.

Captain Beecher, editor OF the English pau
teal Maga zine, has compiled, within the last
ten years, the following curious voyages of
bottles throwo into the sea by unfortunate nav
igators:--''A good many bottles tarowu iuto
the sea next to the African coast found their
va t. Eurore.s The bottle seems to have an
tieipated the Austral Panama route, haying tra-
veled from the Panama lstbnus TO the Irish
coast. Another crossed the Atlantic from the
CAnariss.to Nova Scotia. Three OF four bettles
thrown into the sea by the Greenland mariner :
on the Davis Strait landed on The northwest
coast of Ireland Another one made very aur-
ious trip; II swan from the South Atlantic
Ocean TO the west coast of Africa, passed
GibTalter, went along the Portuguese coast to
france. passed Brest, and was finally picked
up on Jersey Island. The direct line touches
at leas: all these places. aud makes it more
than probable that it took this route. One
bottle was only found after sixteen Years SWIM
ming, one after fourteen, and two after ten
few only travelled more than one year aud
one only FIVE days. This last was sent off BY
the captain of the Race Horse, on the sevens
teenth of April, in the Caribbean Sea, and
was found on the twenty -seond, after having
gene ;hro'' three degrees ofloEgitude in west
wardiy direction. Captain MeClare of the Iu-
Vestlgator, well known since his discovery OF
the Northwest Strait, threw a bottle into the
sea in 1850, on bis was to Behring's Straits. 1t
swan three thousand six hundred miles in two
hundred and six days, aud was picked Up on
the Honduras Coast"
