LENGN1oK s. SE1L.-This firm, at the northeast
corner Of Meeting and Market-streets, opened
yesterday their Fall stock Of millinery and straw

dealers in the many articles that ladies delight
not only to look upon and examine, but also to
purchase Late in the day We dropped in our
selves, and have never been 80 pleased with the
appearance Of a stock or the arrangement Of
goods as with this. The cloves" Of bonnets and
beautiful hats-the splendid ribbons of all colors
and shades, and the bursting buds and full blown
flowers that are so naturally initiated, as to make
one think he is looking upon natives and exotlcs
Just sprung from earth--make up picture that to

There we're also toys of every kind for children,
az well as useful articles for mon, and We left the
store perfectly impressed that their establish
ment contains the prettiest and largest stock of
any store Of the kind in the South.
IS TIE NEEpLE.G E.GUN.-Everybody throughout the
civilized world has by this time heard Of the won
derful achievements Of the Prussian needle-gun.
Whether or not the quick. sharp war just ended
in Bohemia was owing exclusively to the zund-
nadel-gewehr, or not, is immaterial. II is very
certain the needle-gun exerted a very potent in
fluence in bringing the war to so speedy ter
mination.
We all naturally have our curiosity excited to
see go wonderful an. instrument; and those of our
readers who take an intelligent interest in fine
piece Of mechanism, we are glad to be able to an
nounce, may have their curiosity gratiaed by
stepping into Mr. s1EaL1Nas store (entrance in

needle.shot-gun. Mr.. S. very politely showed us
this beautiful chef dguure in all it's constituent
parts az we'll as in it's entirety; how to handle it,
and all about it. The finish is equal to the finest

res of Lutlichau Danast It is made by Won
DRnYsr, in emmmerda, near Erfurt, where the
great Prussisn armory is located.
The barrels move on q spiral hinge to the right,
which exposes the lower end OF the barrel, where
the cartridge is to be placed. This same move
ment also cocks the gun, pushing back the needle.
The cartridge fits air-tight into the barrel; an in.
dia-rubber coat prevents any gas from escaping
backwards. The needle is pushed forward
through small aperture in the centre OF the
lock, into the Eliminating powder.
The whole process Of loading need not take
over four or five seconds. The gun can be carried
loaded with perfect security, by the fastening of
spring, which "half.cocks" the gun, as it were.
Mr.. 8. has shot with it at target at the distance
of 100 yards, without any elevation, and had the
satisfaction OF seeing several Of his cartridges
within the circle.
For further particulars we refer our readers
to Mr.. S1EaL1Na, who will show them the gun. aad

ed the agent, and as he is desirous 10 introduce
the weapon to the public generally, he proposes
to rattle this splendidy finished needle-shot-gun,
at IS q chance. There will be 50 chances.
