EVANS REPEATING RIFLE.-The Legisla-
ture last winter chartered stock company,
with capital Of 100000 to manufacture
Evans repeating rifles in this State DIR. Ev-
ans, the inventor of the rifle, writes that the
company are thinking of establishing their
works in Portland. We copy the following de-
scription of the piece from the Lynn Transcript:
In these days, when all nations are striving
; for new frearm which will do the greatest
execution in the shortest space of time, great
many are brought before the public; but we
venture to say that one of the most destructive
weapons ever produced has lately been invent
ed by DR.. w. r. Evans of this city, formerly
of Thomaston, Me.) 1t has met with the COM
mendation of great many the best military
| judges in the country, who pronounce it to be
the best magazine gun in the world. This rifle
can be fired utirty-eight times in nineteen sec
onds, from the magazine, and twenty -four times
minute retaining the magazne-or, in other
| words, the magazine, which has capacity of
thirty-eight charges, once filed can be kept SO
| TOR use in great emergency, while at the same
| time charges can be placed in .singly and fired
at the rate of twenty-foura minute. AS sin
gle breech loader it can be discharged from
twenty-five to thirty times q minute. 1t is
strong and well proportioned in all its parts,
its calibre is forty-four one hundreths, and its
weight but eight and three-fourths pounds.

THE PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.
The Animal Reun;On-A Pleasant Time
Last Night.

The members Of the Philharmonic So
ciety, and such friends as were invited to
| the celebration of their annual reunion,
had an evening of perfect enjoyment at
the Board of Trade Rooms. At an early
hour the hall presented an active and
lively appearance, and few hours were
spent in friendly greetings Of new arri-
walls and social conversation, i'm which wit
and humor seemed to run riot. At about
$50 O'Clock, the President, Mr.. Peter
Staub, who, by-the-by, tried to make ev-
cry one feel at home and enjoy themselves,
respectfully invited the members of the
Society back to the stage to assist in sing
ing the chorus of "Land of the Trumpet
and Spear,n from Gamma Bolena - cho-
rus and solo by Mrs. Barton-which was
performed to perfection. The superb rich
ness of Mrs. BartOn's voice is too well
known in this community for us to at
tempt to comment upon it, and even in
the chorus, among SO many voices, hers
could be easily distinguished from the rest.
Prof. Knabe timed and led the singing.
This was followed by splendid chorus 10y
the Society, from the Opera - Martha"
and then by a short and spicy ad-
dress by Judge Andrews, which was
replete with wit and humor, and
was well received by the Society
Next on the programme was some instru-
mental music by Miss Katie Staub. The
piece selected was Carlton MaZurker," by
K. Ketterer," and was performed to perfec-
ton, the company present showing their
appreciation or her matchless skill on the
piano by a hearty clapping of hands. She
was followed by another short and humor-
Gus address by w. A. Henderson, Esq, in
which he gave an amusing sketch of the
officers of the Society and the qualifications
necessary for these positions. Shortly af-
ter the conclusion of his remarks, the Pres
ident informed the Society that the splen-
did oyster supper prepared by Mr.. John
that the gentlemen would conduct the la
dies to the table and act as walters. The
way some of them doned the apron and
approached with slight bow, fried oys-
tels man," was enough to fill with ap-
prehension the hearts of the sable walters
there, lest their situations be in danger. In
fact, all the gentlemen made themselves
useful and the ladies did not suffer for any,
thing i'm the oyster line, and after having
retired from the table, and the gentlemen
having taken seats, the ladies in turn act
ed walters, and of course the gents We're
we'll supplied. All testified by their ac-
tons that Mr.. Scherf fully understands his
business and keeps good oysters. The par
ty after supper passed some time yet in So
cial conversation, after which they dis
persed to their respective homes with
many wishes for the prosperity of the So
ciety, and with hopes that they may enjoy
many more such reunions.

ADEsPERADo SHOT.
Two Prisoners in the Knoxville Jail Al
tempt 10 Mug the JaflOr ana Make
Their Escape.

Two Prisoners i'm the Knoxville Jail At.
tempt 10 Mug the Tailor ana Make
Their Escape.
Yesterday morning about o'clock, the
TAILOR, Mr.. r. T. DeArmond, having learn
ed that knife was in the possession of
one of the prisoners in certain cell Occu-
pied by three colored men, proceeded to
the cell and demanded of one of them,
Will Jones by name, the delivery Of the
knife. This he refused, stating that they
lad no knife i'm their cell, when the Tailor
Informed him that he knew it was there
and that if it was not given up he would
put him in dungeon until he relented.
The prisoner still persisted in his refusal,
when Mr.. DeArmond took hold Of him
with the intention of executing his threat,
but this seemed to he just what they had
expected and wished, and with a quick
movement the prisoner succeeded in push
ing him against the wall. By this time
another one of the prisoners, Lewis
Harrison, came up as reinforcement, when
they in concert commenced to
CHOKE THE JAILOR, Hf1BE
who, however, did not feel inclined to
meekly submit to such treatment and q
severe struggle ensued. Jones, who first
made the attack, securing good opportu-
nifty, passed out of the cell door, ran
through the porch of the house, and run
ming down Prince street, was about
MAKING HIS ESCAPE, Beg.
when he was arrested by Mr.. Huffaker,
the former Deputy Sheriff, and some
other gentlemen and brought back to Jail.
During this time the scuffie between the
jaior and Harrison was still progressing,
and having gotten outside of the cell door,
by some means the prisoner got the adyan-
tage and
THREW THE JAILOR DOWN THE STEPS,
distance of about ten feet, by shere prov
idence escaping serious injuries. After he
had fallen, before the prisoner could reach
him, the jailor, for the first time had an
opportunity of getting hold of his pistol,
and drawing it, he
FIRED FOUR SHOTS
at the approaching prisoner, one of which
took effect in his left groin. Harrison, af-
ter he was shot desisted from further at
lacking the jailor, but still seemed intent
upon making his escape. He ran to the
fence aud was in the act of climbing over
when the jailor, who had recovered from
the fall, by slight tap with a chair
brought him to his senses sufficiently to
allow himself to be conducted back to his
cell. The third occupant Of this cell did
not take any part whatever in this scram
bic for freedom, but quietly remained
within watching the issue of the contest.
DR.. M. l.. Rogers was called for to dress
the wounds of the prisoner and pronoupc-
ed it not necessarily fatal case. IF it has
no other effect, we trust it will teach these
desperate men lesson, and that they will
never make another like attempt at free
dom by "muggiDg" the jailor.

With feelings Of sadness we are called
upon to record the death of Miss Eliza C..
Walker, daughter of Thomas and Marga-
ret Walker, and sister of our worthy fell
low townsman, T. W. Walker. Eliza died
in the sixteenth year of her age, at the
residence of her brother, on the Stll inst.
Her disease was pneumonia. Her illness
was of ten days duration. She was bercav-
ed of a beloved mother about seven years
ago, and soon afterwards became an in
mate of her brothers house. Here she
lived until taken away blythe hand of
death. From her early childhood, her life
was beautiful and lovely. She was ever
kind and obllging to those bywliom she
was surrounded. Her gentle and amiable
disposition won for her the esteem of all;
so that to know was to love her.
In the early past of last year, during a
series of meetings held in the + irst Baptist
Church of this city, she protested faith in
Christ, Joined the church and was baptiz-
ed into the fellowship of the same, by the
pastor. From that time forward she lived
devoted consistent Christian life, at
tending diligently upon the services of
the sanctuary and the exercises of the
Sunday school. With remarkable patience
and Christian fortitude she endured her
sufferings, which were intense. On the
day of her death, when asked by friend,
do you love Jesus and put your whole
trust in Him." She replied, III do" and
soon afterwards fell ''asleep in Jesus"
ASLEEP in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep
A-calm and undisturbed repose, =
Unbroken by the last of foes ~ 81
ASLEEP in Jesus @, how sweet
To be for such slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing
q That Death has lost his venomed sting.
ASLEEP in Jesus peaceful rest, edo
Whose waking is supremely blest
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Savior's power -,

The cold, disagreeable weather of the last
week has had unfayorable influence upon the
drug trade, as we'll as all other kinds of bust
ness All dealers have seemed to be moro actively
engaged in settling up their last years business
than in seeking new customers. We can note
but few changes in prices. There has been q
slight advance in alcohol, opium and morphine.
But the most marked changes we have to note
are in gum assafotda and pink root, the former
having fallen within a few days from s. 90 to
81 % per pound, with small demand, ard the
latter from 20 cents to Is cents per pound, with
no sales to report at even the latter price.

Grain and Produce.
GRAIN.-The grain trade during the past
week has been very light, in fact there was but
little wheat offered. Buyers are not willing to
go above the present quotations, while holders
seem to hesitate in bringing their wheat to mar
kct, probably hoping for another rise. The
present indications, however, do not favor an
advance.
FRUIT.-The market in dry fruit is extreme
ly dull and transactions are limited to local de-
mands.
FLoUR.-Good family -four is in demand, the
stock on hand not being equal to the local trade.
The fact is the price paid for family -four does
not justify the miller in grinding up his wheat
when he can sell his wheat in the bulk and re-
alize nearly as much as if he were to convert i.
into -four and sell it out in small lots. Flour is
very stiff at quotations.
OATs.-The trade in oats is somewhat brisker
and are in demand at quotations.

trade. 1t is dull at quotations. -
