DR.. Harrison whom four years ago next

dence but the affection Of our people,

ity in his profession as well as in that
Of others ample proof of which he has
given in the years he has spent among
US.

mony to the worth and ability Of this

About ten O'Clock the long procession
appeared on main street and under the
marshalship Of Mr.. Jas. Brown, assist
ed by several other prominent members
Of the church, they marched down
main street, enllvened by several
delightful pieces Of music, rendered
in the most exquisite manner by
the choir. The day was spent in
singing, eating and the usual

thing passed of well, until evening
when slight misunderstanding between
John Jackson and Robt. Allen resulted
in a personal difficulty, in which the
Black Hawk warrior gained the victory.

lent place; then he intended to have
gone aft, carefully unwindipg the string
as he went along; then to have got into
the boat, cut the falls, and as the boat
fell into the water, he would have pull
ed smartly upon the Irvine.
"An1 think you know" he contin-
ued with wicked look, "what would
have followed. [ shouldn't have been
noticed in the fuss--Pd have got out of
the way with the boat, and you'd all
have been in the next world in short

It was with much difficulty that the
commodore prevented his men from
killing the villain on the spot. He
proved to be one Of the enemy's Off
GERS, and he was to have heavy re-
ward if he succeeded in destroying the
commodore and his crew.
The prisoner was carried on deck
and dashed to the main rigging, where
he was told to remain until the vessel
got into port.
"What horrible death that villain
meant for us" uttered Carter.
Yes, he did," said Tucker, with q
shudder.
"He belongs to the same gang that's
been q Robin and burnin' the poor
folks houses on the eastern coast

EYES," said the Commodore, with q
nervous twitcA of the muscles about
his mouth.
A bitter curse from the prisoner now
broke on the air, and with clutched
fist the Commodore went below.
In the morning when Tucker came
on deck, Seguin was in sight upon the
starboard bow, but when he looked for
the prisoner he was gone.
"Carter, where is the villain I dashed
here last night ?"
"I'm sure don't know where he is,
Commodore. Perhaps he jumped over
board"
The old Commodore looked sternly
in Carter's eyes, and he saw a twinkle
of satisfaction cleaning there. He
hesitated 8 moment-then he turned
away and muttered:
"Well, well-I can't blame them :.
If the murderous Villains gone to his
death, he's only met fate which he
richly deserved. Better it be for him,
than that my noble crew were now all

The West Point foundry is engaged
now, as for q year or two past, in alter
ing the largest guns used in the navy
from smoothbores to rifles, thereby
greatly increasing their projectile force
and extending their range. Their OBJ
ject is to convert the 10-inch Rodman
gun into 8-inch rifles, by first boring
them out and then inserting q wrought
iron tube, the inner surface of which is
rihed or marked with serpentine
grooves. The tube is set" into its
place simply by the expansive force of
the ammunition, after one or two dis
charges. This job is formidable un-
dertaking, as the largest Rodman guns
weigh from fifteen to twenty tons, and
the tube spoken of is a piece eff metal,
some eight feet long, weighing. say f.
800 pounds. Formerly this work was
done by Armstrong, of England, but
Uncle Sam now feels competent to
alter his own guns, and besides the
ability it is claimed that the Ulster iron,
found near Tivoli, is superior for this
purpose to any other. The saving to
the Federal treasury, compared with
the cost of creating an entirely new ar
mament, IS was at one time proposed,
is enormous. The West Point foundry
is now engaged in recent order for
twenty-five tubes or Innings for convert
ed Rodman guns, which are intended
for Boston. In due time the navy and
Notifications will be entirely equipped
with the improved weapons.

therefore no clew of the owner could

had had enough of that "dog- goned
foolishness." On Monday he was ex-
posed for four hours. At twelve
o'clock on Monday night he threw his
off boot into Mr.. Blimley's stomach,
and knocked the lower portion of Mrs.
Blimley's chin off with his right fist.
