THE OLD SQUIRREL RIFLE.

Loading "A Flint Lock Gun.

Tho Ancient Arm Of q Kentucky Hunter.
Loading a Flint Lock Gun.
I will describe the genuine ancient
Kentucky squirrel rifle, sketches of which
have in my possession, m. from the
best models.
The barrel is four feet long and nearly
IN inch in diameter, while the bore is but
little larger than a common round lead
pencil Just great enough, in other words,
TO take into it a round leadeu bullet Of
about one-tenth Of an ounce avuirdupois
In weight. The stock is of curly maple,
deliberately carved out of a single piece Of
wood, and extends from the semi-circular
brass heel plate to the brass half ring of
mounting under the fore tipof the barrel.
What is called the "drop,' or bend Of the
breech, is very slight rs compared with
the fashion of the latest guns; indeed,
some of the old guns have almost straight
stocks and most of them have a grease
pot either opening in the heel plate or in
the left side Of the stock near that plate.
The trigger guard is of brass and fenci-
fully curved, While the ,himbles for the
ramrod are placed under the barrel stock,
in which is a semi-circular longitudinal
groove that becomes a round hole in the
wood of the lower part Of the stock.
The lock is the best model # flint and
steel mechanism. deliberately carved and
perfectly fitted into the right side of the
stock near the lower extremity of the
barrel. The trigger is double, the pos

which in turn strikes open the steel pan
and drops its spark into the printing In

a small quill, probably a primary quill of

The picnic of the Mis- Hollow Union Sun
day school took place on Saturday last, and
was quite an enjoyable occasion. The
wife of the uperintendent-Mrs. Auge,
and Mrs. Charles Lentz, by the assistance
of others, deserve considerable credit for
the splendie dinner arranged for the occa-
sion. After dinner a well-arranged pro-
gramme was rendered by the school and
others who were invited to be present. Ad-
dresses we're delivered by Prof. Reinhart,
Robert Campbell and @. S. Weiss. Rev.
Burt, pastor of the M. f. Church Of Parry

benedIction. The programme was inter-
sperced with appropriate songs which were
heartily engaged in by all present. The

were entered into quite lively and were
much enjoyed. The crowd dispersed about
ten o'clock at night.
