A CELEBRATED GUN.-The attention Of
sportsmen is directed to the advertise
ment in this issue of THE ARGUS of the
celebrated Lefever gun, the manufactory
Of which has recently been removed from
Auburn, n. Y, to Syracuse. During the
six years in which these guns have been
IN use, there have been made on them sey-
eral very important and valuable improve
ments. vi these, more particularly, is an
Improvement in the mode of fastening.
This consists of an extra strong bottom
lug, in addition to which is very stout
top fastening. In this respect sportsmen,
who have used them consider them to DOS
sess the strongest fastenings,to be the sim
plest and most convenient 10 construction
and the best handling gun in use. Their
shooting qualities are remarkable. The
stocks are gotten up with the pistol grip
and are very neat and tasty in appear
ance, The firm manufactures not only
double barrel guns, but single breech load.
ing shot guns, double and single rifles, all
with the same strong fastening and action
described above.
A speciality of the work of the new firm
is altering over muzzle- leaders to breech-
leaders, putting a solid iron breech into an
old gun, making it equally as solid and
strong and as neat in appearance as a new
enc. Many have had muzzle- leaders thus
altered, and are unqualified in their praise
and expressions of satisfaction with the
result. One of these celebrated guns has
been purchased by one of TIE editors of
this paper, who intends TO take it into
camp this fall when the Warner club pitch |
their tents on the Doshia, and will be |
pleased to test its qualities with the best
guns in the club.

Previous to the late Republican district

and underhanded game to getbimself NOM
mated for congress. the Union commenced
series of articles denouncing him, by i'm
plication, as "a professional politician !"

he was pledged in writing not to be a can

Henderson nomination. ION the 10th Of
August the Union said: .-.
''General Henderson has put himself ON
record, both By letter and oft repeated per
bal declarations, that he is not a candidate
for congress. and Mathe neither desires nor
intends to hare anything 10 do NTH this
c0nvass. While Judge LyDde is
not so well known throughout the district

According to the Union, Henderson has
proved false to his written and oft repeat-

himself guilty of falsehood; and yet the
