LOADED SHOTGUN SHELLS.
With Peters Patent Fastenings for Cartridges.
Pattern Improved. Penetration Increased. Recon Diminished and
FouHng Of Gun Chamber Prevented.
Eeters CartridEe Companx

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the lamentations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines IT run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act of loading. The extra size and quality of the wads
hold back and develop the full strength of the charge, and render
Especial Smith or Parker" loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful movement the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The lamentations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crmp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recoil is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most fattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional sporsmen are alike delighted. For sale by

But life shall on and upward go;

To that great anthem, calm and slow,

Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days be sad and dreary.

That no one life shall be destroyed
Or cast as rubbish to the void.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The Man About Town Is told about three
little boys, who hired little gun aud went
inso a little field near the College and had q
little time shooting at little birds, one day
last week. All Of sudden a ball from the
gun went crashing through one of the Col :
leue windows coming within little OF
hitting Mrs Pollock In the head and one or
two students. A committee of three big
boys captured the youngsters and took them
toheadquarters, 10 where they were relieved OF
their shooting iron.
A very peculiar incident happened on First
Street Friday. A prominent real estate
man, with bic feet, was passing along,when
a large rat, which had been driven from a
store, rushed across the sidewalk, reaching

with one Of the hig feet OF ther. e. man, who
lnnocently stepped on him, making him cap
