the Wizard gun experiments at Nut Island {;
The experiments We're conducted with

| We're two tWrntN-omc ton. fifteen inch
guns cast for the purpose. at The South
Boston foundry. One of these was ritled
| under the supervision of Mr. Wizard. and
| the other had the ordinary smooth
| bore The ritied Gun was first tried. One
hundred and fifty feet off We're placed two
iron targets exactly alike, fifteen inches
| in thickness and composed of five three
inch plantes firmly bolted together and
| backed by the natural gravel Of the bank,
| forming Il most powerful resistance. The
Gun was loaded with conical shot of 400
pounds with tlange on either side to fit
| the rifle bore. The powder was loaded in
| bags. to The amount of 40 pounds, the
| heaviest charge ever fred from one cannon
| The charge was exploded by means Of a
string the man who pulled it standing
several hundred feet Off The effect was
terrific. the force carrying the shot entirely
through the target and twelve feet into the
| solid gravel, which was frozen for some
| distance The massive target was almost
completely demolished Through the first
| two plates the Shot made a clean cut hole
but the last three plates Wererent and shat
tered, the bolt, and rivetS which held them
| together being broken and torn from their

iron clad afloat as it would an egg shell.
Mr. Wizard claims that with a thirty ton

"A twenty inch plate The experiments
were regarded as highly satisfactory, and
the result was telegraphed to the Secreta-
~ of the Navy as soon as the party re-
turned to the city. \ photographer was
on the spot and took views Of the guns,
plates and all the surroundings, for the
use of the Navy Department. Early next
week further experiments will be made at

Teachers rn.titu,c at waIIingford.

The Teachers Institute for Rutland
County, commenced its session at Wallng-
ford on Monday afternoon, under the di-
rcction of John II. French, LII. D., Sec
rotary of the Board of Education.
The evening exercises were of great in
tcrcst and full of instruction, opening with
singing and the recitation of the beautiful
old Scotch Poem, My ain Countree," by
Miss H. ID. i. Potter, of New York, which
was fine rendered.
The lecture by c. i. Stctson, of Boston,
was practical. containing much of common
sense. The teachers could not fail to OBJ
serve and retain its wholesome suggestions
and follow them out in their instructions in
the school room. Much more might be
said in praise Of the lecture but our limits
at this writing will not permit.
The reading of true story Of "a Vermont
Volunteer. entitled 1.-The Soldiers Re
pricvc, may be counted among the good
things of the evening. The reading also of
piece entitled the Church Organ" and
the pcrsonaton of a reading class by Miss
II. l.. ID. Potter, were not only well read
but were received with evident satisfac-
ton by the audience.
The attendance of teachers is not as large
as il should be and it is hoped much
larger number will be present during tho
remaining days of the session The fcsti
vel at Rutland undoubtedly keeps many
| from attending.

More NASHUA Dog stories.

The Nashua On. H. Telegraph adds two
more to its list of almost, if not quite, in
credible dog stories, as follows:
Recently Il gentleman connected with a
machine shop had occasion to visit a store
house situated some distance from the main
buildings of the establishment. He dis
covered, on searching his pocket, that he
had left the door-key on nail over his
bench, and having habit of talking to
himself, spoke the fact, whereupon his
dog, very suddenly disappeared in the
direction of the shop. The genteman's
curiosity was reused, and SO he sat down
on the door-stone and waited with patience
the animals return. 1t appears that Rover
went directly to his masters bench, jumped
upon ii, smellcd of several keys hanging on
the wall, selected the right one and return
ed ii to his master, appearing greatly pleased
and apparently as anxious for praise as Il
boy would have been.
On the afternoon of May -day, says Hon.
A. w. Sawyer, | was riding past the Uni
tartan church, where | observed small
dog near the fence. He was barking furi-
ously. Near him lay small boy. thought
the little fellow was dead, and my heart
came into my mouth others noticed the
affair, and several persons gathered quick
ly. 1t seems that the child had fallen
ed him until she thought" it was time to
| go home, and so took this method of APP
prising passers-by of the true state of af-
fairs. Says Mr.. Sawyer; 1T was as pref
| ty picture of fidelity as ever witnessed. y

Four MEN on TIE VERGE OF A DAM
THREE RESCUED, One DIowNED.-A eX-
citing affair took place on the IToosac river
at Harris Falls, n. Y, on Monday morning
which came near terminating in terrible
catastrophe and the death of four men, and
which as it was, resulted in the drowning
of one person. The particulars as we learn
them from the Troy Times are that the
men were in Il row boat on the river some
distance above the village and the factory
dam, when the current of the river bore
their craft steadily and surely towards the
dam, plunge over which would have re-
suited in almost instant death, The men
tuggcd at the oars with all their strength,
but were unable to overcome the force of
the current and as last resort they
jumped overheard and tried to swim ashore
Their cries attracted attention from the
shore, and three of the men were finally
rescued. The fourth one, IA Mr.. William
son, formerly of Bennington, was drowned.

SuIclDE.-The body of Mary Labor, a
maiden lady of some 40 years, was found
in the river about one-fourth of mile
above the grist mill in Lincoln, Tuesday
last, about p NJ. She had been more or
less deranged for some time, and had
threatened self-destruction. Her friends
watched her closely, but by some means
toward night, last Saturday, she succeeded
in getting away unnoticed. She was soon
missed and search instituted, She formerly
lived in Ferrisburgh, and they sent a team
there for her, thinking that she might be
there. A large number of persons were
engaged in looking along the river, scour-
ing the woods and fields, and on Tuesday
her body was found, having been washed
up on some rocks near the shore.
Her remains were carried to Ferrisburgh
for interment. Rev. J. III. Bond preached
the funeral sermon. MtddIebufy Register.
