They advano- ed cautiously, as was usual with the Ira• quois before their blood was up, soreeoh- ing, leaping from side to side, and firing ae they came on ; but the French were at their posts, and every loop•holedarted its tongue of fire. The Iroquois, astonished at the persistent vigor of the defence, fell back discomfited. no fire of the French, who were themselves completely under oover, lead told upon them with deadly effect.

A very peculiar phenomena in the, lo. oality of Ingersoll may be found in a number of pear trees. In the garden of R.

Six incandescent electric lights in aver - tical row are placed inside of a transluoent baloon,and used for signalling by the Ital. ian War Department. By turning the lights on and off it is possibletomalte long and short flasbee,and thus bo use,theMorse alphabet. The gas bag ie about sigh• teen feet in diameter and the whole ap- paratus weighs about 150 pounds. This device enables signals to begiven at a considerable altitude, and hence to bs vis' ibis at a great distance. Fine violins are, made in the United States, but they don't compete with Ger- man manufacturers in making cheap ones. There are imported violins that are sold at wholesale, with strings mom. plate, ready for use, as low as fifty Dents each ; there are violin bows that are sold at wholesale as low as eighty cents a do- zen. Such a violin would sell at retail for about a dollar, and such a bow per- haps for a quarter; a pretty cheap musi- cal outfit. Instruments of this sort are sold mostly in the West and South, and large numbers of them are sold. When one takes into account the manufactur- er's and the importer's profit, and the fact that an import duty .profit, paid also, it will be seen that the original cost of this violin must have been very small. Other violins are imported through a wide range of prions from this up. KENDALL'S 'iSPAVIN CURE TH E MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY FOR MAN OR BEAST. Certain in its effects and sever busters.
