A Mammoth Establish MEST.-The
store of Wcis Brothers, at St. Mary's,
is one of the stores. Happening in thero

of goods being sold. Messrs, Weis in

present winter, invested $23,000 in
Goods. They will be found fair meu
to deal with, and the citizens of St. Ma

buying from them.

The Obioin op the Needle Gun
A mere accident, less stranue ; to be
Dure, than that which made L'erthold
Schwarz invent gunpowder, but which
nevertheless must be regarded as a hint
of Providence, directed him to another,
and we can now say, the ouly right way.
It was this : It sometimes happened
that quantities of percussion caps were
sent back to him, having been spoiled
by moisture. In order to prevent this,
Dreysse conceived the Ilea of protect
ing them against dauipuess by covering
them witli the film of paper.
The result proved to bo very opposite,
for the paper attracted moisture, and a
very large order, which had been con
structed in this ways was sent back to
him, as they were entirely spoiled oud
unfit for usa. This was a great loss to
the firm, as copper was very dear at that
time. In order to obtain the copper of
the Caps for further manufacturing pjr
poses, Dreysse decided to remove the
iuhninating composition. In order to
effect this with as littlo loss of time as
possible he wanted to do it by explosion.
After various satisfactory attempts the
idea occurred to him of accomplishing
it by means of a pin or needle construe,
ed for that purpose. This experiment
proved to be entirely successful, and
like lightnin? the idea struck him of
using the needle altogether for exploding
the cartridge. Not less quickly a seo
ond idea dawned on his mind, that of
"moving the entire explosive process
from without to within the gun, and by
inserting tbe explosive material into ths
cartridge, to w.ve tuo expens've Conner
used heretofore to. aps xhia waa tho
moat important step tbe constitution
of the Prussian ncedlo Dreysse

EMBROCATION!
T?OU ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
I ' Horses, Cattle and the Human Flesh,
requiring the use of an external application.
This new Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledge of
all the medical virtues nf each ingredient
that enters imo its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of
fered to the public ns an external applica
tion for tho diseases for which it is recommended-
Wo arc satisfied that it will work
its own road into tho confidence of all who
use it, and those who try it once will never
bo without it, and therefore we rely on ex
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Furriers, and all who
have tried it to be the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation lias been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through tho increasing demand and urgent
request of my friends and tho Public that
1 semi it forth as the grand remedial agent
for the various diseases to which that noble
and useful animal, tho HOUSE, issubject.
Many remedies have been offered to the
Public under different forms, some of theso
arc injurious, others nt best of littlo use,
and muny wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they are recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses, and are unwilling to
trust them to the care of designing and
pret tending Farriers. Their wishes are a
length fully gratified, by Dr. Beale being
prevailed upon to allow this valuable Em
brocation (which has proved bo efficacious
to the various diseases) to be prepared ond
brought out to the public.
This embrocation was extensively used
by the Government during the war.
