After the election of officers, the

The election of the above officers
places the new organization on a firh
basis, and we hope it will be sue
cess. 1t is but right that the old
guns should be kept in this end Of
the State as long as possible, for
should they once be given up, it
would require difficult and arduous
work to obtain them again.

A wonderful NInchtne.

Tho senate and house committees on

arsenal last Tuesday afternoon to inspect
the testing machine, which can deter
mine TO o fraction tho exact tensile, bend
ing, breaking, or crushing strength Of
any material, DO II wood, metal. or stone,
or any other substance, with possibly tho
exception ofrestaurant buttor. The tester
has q capacity Of 100000 pounds, yet it
can DO adjusted TO such nicely that it
will record the force required to crush an
eggshell. II would BIO y useful article to
any family were 1t not that the cost, about
100000. is likely to prevent its cc2.ng
into general use. IL ia q ponderous affair,

pios a building by itself. On tho floor
near II yesterday wero exhibited trophies
of its strength. Ono of these Is a bsr Of
