What 1liassacIlmseuis IL doing for
Temperance.

The following is from. the report Of the
State constable of Massachusetts,, ar officer
appointed to enforce the prohibi,ory liquor
law. .
In Essex county "there are no open and
bold sales of Intoxicating liquors in either
city or town. Middlesex county I'm very
few towns are intoxicating liquors to he
had except in the uiost secret manner, and
with the exception of fCharlestown, l am nc I
aware that liquor is openly sold in the entire
county. and trust this exception will not
long exist" .
or Worcester county he reports that five
thousand nine hundred and ninety. one gal
Ions of intoxicating liquors have been seized,
and are now in custody, awaiting the final
judgment of the court; and the number en-.
gagged in tie traffic have been reduced du.
| ring the year from three hundred and nine
ty.two. to one hundred and nineteen
In Hampshire county, "ihere were seven.
ty'four dealers in intoxicating liquors at the
| commencement Of the year there are now
only thirty One-a reduction of forty.tbrce
and those who continue in the traffic con
duct their business with great secresy,"
In his report of Itampden County, he
quotes from the Springfield Republican OF
November as follows: "Crrtain it is. that a,
present it is Eext to impossible for any man
to procure the prescribed liquors publicly
ut ury har in this city. This is an event
which even the most emphatic temperance
men had hardly dared to hope for; and
over which they can rejoice, whether its re-
suits are of hrief or long continuance"
| In Franklin-"of the twenty-six towns in
the county, the sales are confined to about
six" .... ..r
Iu Berkshire-"of the thirty one towns in
this county, liquor is openly sold in about
| twelve. .. ... .
or Norfolk he says: "This county of TWEEN
ty-two towns has the services of four depu
tics. 1t may be considered about purged
of the liquor traffic. there being only one
open bar in the entire county, and this ex
ception will not hong exist"
| "Bristol county will soon be ranked a
temperance county; there are no open sales
in either of its twenty towns"
! In Plymouth. there are now no oper
sales in either of the twenty-six towns; and
such secret sales as are now made, are con
fined, almost without exception, to the
foreign element of certain towns"
"Barnstable county may be said to hav,
no liquor traffic within its limits" I
OfDukes and Nantucket, he says 'Ther,
have been no prosecutions in either of thes,
counties; and the last reports of the depu
ties 10 charge, show that no case suscepti
bile OF prosecution exists within their pre-
cincts."

Affairs at the Springfield (Massa.
chusetts) ArInOry.

The Republican says: The armory is Civ.
ing steady employment 20 one thousand
men. and no reduction of the force is proba-
bile at present. The manufacture of new
l,reecli loader, altered from the old Spring
field rifle musket, has been commenced, and
about two hundred day are now turned
out. The new piece combines the excellen.
cies of the altered musket invented by Mas.
ter ArmOrer Allin and those of one of Colonel
Berdan's lately invented bIeech leaders
having Berdan's cartridge-shell extractor
and Mr.. Allin's breech-block. Mr. Allin's
breech loader had thirty six pieces, hut by
this combination the rumber is reduced to
twenty, the simplitication making the gun
less liable to get out of repair without I'M
pairing its effectiveness The experiments
made with the combination gun to ascertain
its accuracy for long range firing have
proved very gratifying, and no similar ones
can show better results. With large sup
ply of cartridges close at hand, this gun can
easily be fired eighteen and twenty times a
minute, or faster in the long run than the
Spencer repeating rifle; but the rate in the
army would probably not exceed twelve or
fourteen times minute. The altered mus
ket is believed to be as good breech loader
for use in the service as any that has been
invented and the government has, therefore
no occasion tor making new guns, but will
for the present merely transform the old
ones into breech- leaders. One of the pro-
cesses of this work is curious. The old rifle
bore is smooth.d down, and the barrel is IRE
inforced" and much Strengthened by driving
in tube, not more than six hundrcdths o
an inch thick, which is firmly secured at both
ends. This idea has met much opposition
among scientific men, but proves to be 9
practical and valuable one, the gun barre
being made in this way us good as,
or better than, new. While the bore Of the
gun is reduced by the operation to fifty
hundreths, or exactly half an inch in diane
, ter, the amount of powder in the cartridge
used is increased from five grains (the olo
allowance) to seven, the ball weighing foul
hundred and fifty grains. Cartridges sufli
cient to test thoroughly all the remodeled
guns are made at the armory; and between
one and two thousand are used daily foi
| this purpose. The hammer OF the combina
tion gun does not strike the rim OF the
| cartridge, as is now usually the case, bul
| the centre, where the illuminate 10 placed

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1867. Z
Revolutionary Ilcroincs.

! During the invasion of Provost, and while
the British army kept possession of the sea
| board, u battalion OF colonists occupied the
house and plsntation of Mr.. Robert Gibbes
ON the banks of the Stono. To excite gene
raj alarm, and to annoy the post, two gal
leys from Charleston assembled the river in
the night, and opened heavy fire on the
| house and eDcampment. The family, who
had remained. in the house, were now obliged
to leave, and Dir. Gibbes, o martyr to intrm
! ity, and his numerous family, started, al
midnight, for an adjoining plantation. -
When beyonG the reach of the shot, which
had necessarily passed over the heads of tl,

fancy, had been left behind. ..' T..
The servants were entreated to return fol
him, but refused; and he must have beer
left to his fate, had not the heroism and
affection of Mary Ann Gibbes, then but tllir
teen years old, inspired her with courage tc
hasten to his rescue. The night was very

A NUT FOR THE NATUR RALIsTs.-The edi-
tor of the Scottsville (Ya.) Register says
that about week ago, as he was walking
to Charlottesville, he saw what he thought
to be snake track in the snow, which was
then some six inches deep. Recollecting,
however. that the natural histories say that
snakes do not crawl in cold weather, he
only mentioned the circumstances to one
friend, who laughed at him heartily. But
in the last three weeks, four snakes. one
striped ard three black, were killed on a
farm three miles from Scottsville. One was
in the spring, one near il, and the other
two. one of which was black snake, OF the
largest size. were crawling over the snow.
All of them showed fight.
