Albany Democrat: At the Camp Comp.
son range Captain Jones conducted some
experiments to determine the penetrating
force of the blank cartridges used IN the re-
cent sham battle. He found that rife,
loaded with a blank charge such as was
used and fired at ten inches range at a
board enc inch In thickness, would tear
ragged hole through the timber of much

penses SIS, 900. leaving net daily revenue

Bradstreets: According to the official re.
port for the past twelve months the Ameri-

beer in 1875. while last year we drank 3D.
474, 5l9, and this year 33, 875. 466, an in
crease of 2,459, $40 barrels. The consump-
ton of beer is now halt barrel per capita,
and is dou bling about every eight years. At
the beginning of the next century 1t prom
ises to be a barrel a head. Yet with all
this improvement we do not rank with Ger
many and England as beer drinkers, al
though we may expect at the present rate
to pass our British brethren.

story of sea serpent. Several people are
said to have seen it. One party was going
up the bay IN a boat when 1t made It's sp-
pearance close by. He thought It was GO
ing to take him in, and was so scared he
ialnted. Two brave men got their guns
and securing boat went in search of the
monster, which suddenly came up close TO
Them and looked so hideous that they pulled
or shore for all they were worth. On reach.
ng it they ran for tall timber, and at last re-
ports have not been heard from. We weuId
the parties not to mix their
thinks.
