THE PARKER GUN.-ln another column
you will find an advertisement of the Par
ker Gun, which is before the public, back
ed by hundreds of testimonials, like the fol-
lowing.
If any of our readers are sportsmen, and
fond of a good gun. we commend them
before selecting their shooting irons for
the season to examine the Parker breech
loading double barreled shot gun. Old
sportsmen who have been accustomed to
the muzzle- loading guns have in many
instances refused to come into the use of
breech- leaders, and denounce them. The
fogies are the same who opposed railroads,
and who oppose every new and useful in
vention. This gun cannot help but COM
mend itself to every one who will take the
trouble to examine it, and it is in itself the
best advertisement that its enterprising
makers (Messrs. Parker Bros. Of West
Meriden. Conn. could have.
The simplicity of its construction, the
facility with which it can he loaded and
unloaded, or the load changed from one
sized shot to another to secure any large
game that is presented; the ease with
which it can be kept clean; its long killing
range, and last, though not least import
ant, its cheapness-all combine to commend
it to any one who can appreciate perfect
fowling piece. 1t is constructed of lami-
mated or Damascus steel, and can be made
either for metallic or paper shell. The
metallic shell is recommended for its dura-
bility. as it can be reloaded indefinitely.
The chief and most important feature of
this gun, and one that must give it prefer
ence to every other, is the fact of its nom
liability to accident. 1t is simply impossi-
BILE to have one occur in the use of the gun,
either in loading, firing or carrying it.
We have only to add that this gun took
the first premium at the American Insti-
tute Fair in 1869 in this city; also, silver
medal at the State Fair in Texas, where
quick shooting is appreciated. In fact,
it takes the first premium wherever it is
exhibited.

END OF THE STOKES TRIAL.-The third
trial of Edward S. Stokes, for the murder
of James Fisk, Jr., in New York, on the
9th of January, 1872, closed at New York,
Wednesday night with verdict of guilty
of manslaughter in the third degree. The
sentence passed upon the prisoner con-
signs him to prison and hard labor for four
years. The first trial of stokes, it will be
remembered, resulted in no agreement, and
the second in conviction of murder in the
first degree. The result Of this last trial
in connection with the other two affords a
curious commentary upon the phases of
human character and the mutations of
time.

DANGER ISLAND.

Far south, in the Indian Ocean writes
traveler), in the midst of almost eternal
surf and spray, rises what is appropriately
termed Danger Island. OF all the lonely
spots on the globe, whose existence has
been ascertained, this is probably the most
lonely. Once only has it been known to
have been visited by man. The sea for
many hundred miles rolls and flashes over
a shallow bottom, till, arriving at a certain
degree of latitude, the floor of rock
abruptly terminates, and the ocean be-
comes i'll Il moment of unfathomable depth.
On the very edge of this abyss stands
Danger Island, which the least touch of an
earthquake or an unusual stroke of hurri-
cane may some day topple over into the
bottomless gulf. The pillows necessarily
fret and foam against the cliffs Of Danger
into the deep, so as to appear from 4 dis
tance perfectly inaccessible.
A surveying ship, traversing the ocean
i'll all directions for scientific purposes,
onCe approached JnlS wllu rock. Alter
rowing to a considerable distance along the
foot of the precipices, one gentleman dis
covered small fissure, through which he
felt confident they could climb to the sam
nit; and the boat being pushed quite close
to the rock, two or three of the most dar-
ing landed, and, after no slight toll and
peril, reached the top. The prospect which
then presented itself was truly extraordi-
nary. Rendered green as an emerald by
the agency of hidden springs, the whole
surface of the islet was thickly strewn with
eggs of innumerable ocean birds, which,
rising from the task of incubation, formed
a canopy of tiuttering wings overhead
The eggs were of all colors-white. light
chocolate, and cerulean blue, dotted with
brown or crimson, or turquoise, or black
Here and there little bills protluded from
the shells; and the mothers, though scared
away for a moment by the unusual appari-
ton Of men, soon alighted rear their
young.

Attempted RObbery.-On Monday night

Attempted RObbery.-On Monday night,
about nine o'clock, Mr.. Lawrence Sent
n ans family was somewhat frightened by
bea ring footsteps on the roof of the kitch-
en-; be daughter being very much fright
ened ,creamed loudly to her father and
brothers, when the man made two or three
desperate strides, and reached the edge of
the roof and jumped off. There appeared
to be two of them, and in their haste to
escape tore down two panels of yard fence.
1t is supposed it was their intention to rob
at least, and perhaps murder, but finding
the inmates were not all asleep, their plans
were frustrated. Have your houses well
secured and keep sharp look out for these
villains, for it is HI ghly probable there will
be a great deal of thieving done during
this winter.
