bought this bond from the company, and agreed
that II the stock which had right to convert

turn TO the company any excess over the market
price; J made that bargain with the executive
committee; had already advanced them 500, 900,
and then when the fond was issued had advanced
altogether $4,000: while it remained bond had
paid 500 600 on IT, and my Impression Is that when
bought the bond went down town TO issue the
stock but IL could not be disposed OF the day 1t

had advanced the company 1910 600.

A New and Wonderful Rifle.

This rife, which is constructed on q
new plan, is the invention of DR.. W. X.
Evans, of Thomas.on, Maine, it being
tie result of years of study and expert
ment, is now successfully completed.
Competent judges who have seen this RI
he pronounce it TO be the most complete,
neat and destructive fre-a arm ever invcn-
tcd.-1t is strong and beautiful in all its
parts, not differing in size from the COM
mon rife it weighs nine and one-half
pounds only. The rife is breech loading
The stock will hold thirty-eigh cartridges
of forty four one huudredths ca|iber.
The whole number OF cartridges can be
put in in one minute without taking the
rife from the shoulder. 1t can be fired
from twenty to twenty-five times per
minute as single breech loader. There
are no springs to become weak, each car
fridge is forced into It's position by a'dev-
ice which is strong and sure; each car
fridge is in a cell by itself, doing away
with the liability Of exploding by coming
in contact with each other. There arc
but four working pieces in. the whole
construction of the rife.
By removing only one screw, the work.
ing parts can be removed and cleaned and
replaced in a very few minutes. This
rife is very easily managed and would be
a most fearful weapon in the hands Of
we'll drilled soldiers; one thousand men
armed with these rifles could pour in up
on the enemy in one mlnute thirty'e'gh'
thousand balls-a perfect storm of lead
which ne army could stand before. This
new arm has been patented aud its nan
u facture commenced.

a TsRRLBLr ACCIDENT TO YoUhe
EAsY.-A most horrible accident OCCUR
I'd at hocust Valley, L. l., Friday even
lug, BY which en- es,imable young lady,
named Miss Warner, of New York, was
shackmgly injured. The young lady
has bearded wit b farmer ne&r Glen
Cove for some months past. and has been
in the habit of indulging her taste ftr rural
lie by wandering through the souztry.
Yesterday, in the coarse Of her rambles,
she entered woollen mill, and becoming
greatly interested with the machinery,
AID partly confused By the eeaseless din,
she Inadvertently stepped close to some
Of the rnnn ing gear. She wore her hair
long. according TO the prevailing fashions,
aid ln an instant she was caagat by the
Lair, whirled round, and jammed against
the wall. The screams OF the unfortunate
girl attracted the attention of the opera
rives, and the machinery was slapped.
When Miss Warner was released from
her perilous condition it was found that
The scalp had been entirely torn from her
head The poor girl was carefully re-
moved to her boarding house, suffering
the most acute agony. Medical assistance
was summoned from New York, and,
according to The latest accounts, the poor
girl was easier. Fears are however enter
tanned that the shock to her nervous
system, combined with the painful wound ,
may prove fatal.

A queer boy baby has been born on
Coney Island. The New York tS'a'
says In the first place, the face and
Uranium and part of the neck we're cover
ed with short, crisp coat of hair. The
head was not round and conformed as that
of human being. for the forehead seem
ed to incline suddenly from the top to
the Uranium and terminated in sort OF
snout, exactly similar to that Of bull.
The nostrils were distended and large,
while the mouth was vide and'outstretch-
ed and with the exact appearance of q
member of the bovine species. But more
strange than all we're couple Of sharp
protuberapcea in the receding forehead,
composed Of AesLy substance, and
having the, exact appearance of pair of
horns. The boy thus far has developed
the most decided instincts of the species
to which he seems to bo'ong. From the
first he has refused HI mothers milk,
and will taste of nothing bat cows milk.
He also emits curious sound altogether
uuhuman, but gives vent to cry closely
resembling the believing of bull. A
visitor offered the waif some grass~to cal
or the strength Of it, but this the baby
utterly refused no doubt because Of its
tender age

More Stealing.

1t was only the other day that the
Comptroller ofthe United States Treasury
officially admitted that one million of
notes had been issued by the Treasurer
without any record OF their denominations
or numbers. The statements of the pub.
lie debts, says the Washington Patriot,
made by the Secretary of the Treasury
and Treasurer, exhibits discrepancy of
100000. And it is notorious,
says the same authority, that the books
of the Register and Secretary cannot be
balanced by many millions.
Following upon these revelations We
have the dedication 10 the New York
Post office of Mr.. John w. Norton, in
the sum of lis. goo.

The purchaser was Justice McCorm ick
