BREECH LOADING, DOUBLE BARRELED
SHOT GUN.
This popular gun ~undeniably supports its claim
as being the
BEST IN H w RID
Perfectly Simple in Construction
Very Strong and Durable!
Barrels self-Locking!
Uses Central Fire Metallic or Paper CARTRIDGES
AT TIE OPTION OF PURCHASERS!
1t has been four years before the public, and
its success is really remarkable. It's superiority
over all others, and the claims Of the manufae-
tnrerS, are well substantiated by the following
FACTS:
There are more Parker Guns in the hands of
American SpOrtmen than any Foreign breech-
loader.
There are three times as many Parker Guns in
the hands of American spOrtmen as there are of
any other American made breech-lOader.
At the Utica convention of the New York State
SpOrtmenfS Association, the number of sports
men who used the Parker gun was equal to that
of all others who used central fire bFeech load
ers, OF both American and Foreign make COM
bincd.
While the Parker gun is so often reported as
distinguishing itself at large shoots throughout
the country, it is noticeable that few such repOrfs
are made of any other gun.
The lowest price Parker guns are within reach
of those of moderate means, while they are in
every way q thoroughly good gun.
The higher grade Parker guns are gotten upin
a style equaled by few, and cxcelled by none.
The most fastidiOus will find them all that can
be desired.
Our descriptive and price catalogue will be
mailed to any address upon application.

ATTENTION boys-fo. its kite time. As far
back as memory runncth, the boys have de-
voted all their spare time-and much which
ought not to have been Spared-to the manu-
facture and flying Of kites during the breezy
month of March. Weused to be famous at it
and from the little common cut out with
thinuest stick or straw run through the mid
die aud across, to the magnificent and grace
full "bcnder," IS high as man with glass
eyes and such tail, ghewiilikins, :he kite,
not the man, reader, and through all the inter-
mediate styles of house kite star bird,
etc. What a time there used to be. Hun
dreds of kites in the air, aud some pulling so
hard as almost to lift u wee shaver off the
ground. But kites are not so large noT, nor
do they fly as high as in those good cd boy
hood days, morc's the pity. The cord now is
not so strong either, for much Of is made Of
paper, and would not carry 'cut out halfway
out Of sight, much less farther. Oh dear!
But, never mind, we don't make blenders
now nor go on them either, and we can only
advise the boys 10 go TO work and make some
and raise them to the skies, forts elegant fun;
going to school can't compare with kite
flying.

INTERESTING MEErISa.-The regular
meeting Of the Sous of Temperance, Newber-
r. Division, on Tuesday night last,w ofun-
Usual interest, in that several Of the fair
ladies Of our town were minated into the
high and responsible privileges Of that noble
order, besides goodly number of the young
men of the community. The ladies were hap
PLY Introduced first to be made acquainted
with the beautiful workings Of the order, and
for the reason that they might take part in
and enjoy the impressive Initiation of their
brothers, and thus also lend the incentive and
well dore Of their presence to step which,
in 50 la:ge degree, must contribute to the
wcll-being and happiness OF the initiates and
the good Of society. Although the ceremo-
nies were unavodabiy long, YET we are
satisfied that they were so interesting that
the time occupied did not produce weariness.
We are pleased to say that there were shout
twenty ladies present, and all Of the fsirest
and brightest ard best, and that they
swallowed the iron clad pledge like men,
and judging from the serious and earnest ex-
preston of each charming countcnance, we
can safely vouch that there will be no broken
pledges to be reported OF this bright bevy of
recruits; and with such an example and ccua-
teuance how much of hope may be INDUCED
in by the friends of Newberry Division, and
of the order generally. Nine young men
were introduced aud passed through the
ordeal Of the initatcry ceremony after the
ladies were properly instructed and bestowed,
and on no previous occasion has there been
witnessed such an initiation a3 was then gone
through with. But we must not occupy too
much space. Suffice it, Tuesday nights
meeting was distinguished era in the pros
poets of No. 8, green oasis in its career,
and we msy we'll look forward 70 the bright
est anIicipasions for the future.
