The crop of wild fruits of every

are loaded down; culrant bushes are
heavily ladened, and altogether, wild
fruits will be as plentiful as one could

Farmers are well up with their

The scenes of office-seeking in
Washington since the 4th of March
are laughed at by old observers. An
old correspondent from New Y ork ard
the Western press kept for personal
reference an exact record of all re-
movals. designations and appoint
ments day by day, so far as obtaina-
BILE, at the departments, and from the
press, from the 9th of March to the
9Th of September, 1861. BY the 1st OF
April every foreign mission and con-
sulate of any importance had been va
Gated and filed, as also very large
proportion of the domestic President

departments as early as March 6,heads
began to fall. Hundreds were off be-
fore the 1st of April, and the decapita-
ton continued increasingly for
months. Even in the State Depart
ment, out of a total Of twenty-siX
clerks, eleven lost their heads. The
number of clerks in that department
is now about sixty. And, strange to
tell, more than one department clerk,
decapitated as a copperhead in 1861,

Power of a Cannon.


In the course of a lecture on the
conversion of heat into useful work,
Mr.. W. Anderson remarked that a
gun was the simplest machine for the
conversion of heat into work. 1t was
slngle-acting engine which applied
its work at one stroke, and did not
work in a continuous series of cycles
like most engines. The new pattern
10-1nch breech-loading rif1ed gun
which he selected as ans example,
weighed q tons and was rs feet 10
inches long, and discharged al shot
weighing 500 pounds. The charge of
300 pounds of pebble gunpowder was
capable of producing WORK equal to
1868 foot tons, of which, on the dis
charge of the gun, 24,6S5 foot tons
were expended in external work-the
energy impaired to the the shot in its
forward motion, ETC., 1881 foot tons
in external work-producing rotary
motion of the shot, ETC., and the re-
naming large balance in communica-
ting to the metal of the gun the mole

there Is one reason, and that very

Is the horrible Sufferings too often en-

who has inst landed at Liverpool
from New York gives his experience
Of what happened En- route in "a well
ordered steamship" She had on deck
when leaving port, one hundred and
th1rty-two fine beasts, only sixty
seven of these were landed alive. All
the rest persisted in a succession of
gales, being rolled about the deck
with every lnrch OF the ship. The
fiimsy sheds which had been con-
structed for their protection were
soon washed away, and then ensued a
most horrible scene Their horns
were broken off at the root and you
could see them hanging from the
heads with the blood pouring out.
Their knees were raw, their legs
broken and their sides gored i,s they
ttumbled against the iron winches and
bulwarks of the ship. For a whole
week this went on, and, to mkae
matters worse, sometimes an entire

against Tom Murrah, Esq, in the
County Court, for his alleged sum-
mary manner of closing him out few
days ago. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Murrah locked out the editor of

policemen to carry pistols when not

ment.
SAD DEATH.
The community was greatly shocked
at the sudden death of Mr.. AIf. H.
Robinson, which occurred early Satur
day morning, after a, very brief
illness, of inflamatory rheumatism.
He had been associated for years in
business with his father, where his
sterling integrity and kindness of heart
had endeared him to all. The sympa.

his stricken widow and fartherless
children in this, the hour of their af-

Exchange.
People-ladies especialy.-often
wonder how it is that the English
Queen has an apparently inexhaust-
ible supply of Indian shawls. Some
thought they had solved the mystery
when the name of an Indian shawl
maker appeared in tire list of trades
men by appointment" to the Queen.
But it is not so. The explanation
given, is that in 1864 a large
tract of territory was coded to
Ghotob Singh, Maharajah of
Jumnoo, who, in consideration of the
grant, bound himself to pay to his
suzerain seventy-five lacs of rupees
and an annual tribute of three pairs
of Cashmere shawls and twelve per-
feet shawl goats. AS this treaty is
still in force, the number of Indian
shawls at the disposal of Her Majesty
is accounted for.
