The I.hn.n Rocket.

A curious photographs apparatus, in
which n camera is raised by q rocket and
lowered by a parachute. is being devel-
oped by a French inventor, NJ. Amedee
Denise. In its experimental form, the
cylindrical camera has twelve lenses
round its circumference with a sensitive

Eufaula (Ala.) Times. Oct. &c.
AS stated in this paper Mt the time,
Mr.. jamie Rhodes, Of Eufaula, Ala,
held ticket No. 46, 1855, in the October
drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery.
for which he paid one dollar. 1t proved
TO be n lucky ticket, for it drew the cap
ital prize of $500, 900 and entitled Mr..
Rhodes to one-twentieth of that amount,
or $15, 600. If the ticket had been n
whole one for which Mr.. Rhodes had
paid $50, he would have received the
whole $500, 600. On inquiry, Nh.
Rhodes found That he held the right
number and forwarded his ticket by ex-
press, for collection of his prize. 1t
was promptly cashed in n bank ut New
Orleans, and the money was duly re-
ceived by Mr.. Rhodes iii another day
or two and it is now on deposit to his
credit in the John McNab bank of this
city. Mr.. Rhodes is n most worthy
