Tbe piece is then fired with great ease and is capable of carrying the ball twelve hundred yards, and with correct aim up to nine hundred yards, the aim for all distances from three bundred to nine hundred yards taken correctly by a parallel grove marked with the res- pective distances it is wished the ball should be carried when directed to an object, a slide in the grove-1 being raised or lowered to take the steht.

The ex- soldiers JeitSJ9-lhetnt of July under theauspices of the tosta mean uovernment ana made a foot journey to the head waters of the Serapiq(ur River, a distance of sixty miles, which they accom plished after a painful and tedious travel of 7 days. .Their progress was necessarily slow, as they were obliged to penetrate thickets and wade through morasses where they frequently sunk nearly to the mid dle. On arriving at the river the men procured! a few axes and set to work felling trees with which to construct rafts to enable them to descend the river, that being the only mode of navigation within their reach- The rafts built were very small in size, only competent to hold from one to four Dersons, and in the exhausted state of the fillibusters, wbrn out with fatigue; and exhausted from insufficient food, taxed their whole energies to complete. At a place called Ho gan's Ranch, some 25 miles above San Juan, about 25 of the sick and wounded were left, as the raft ac commodations proved unequal to convey them father. The party thus left had no provisions or ahel- ter, and their comrades expected d that General Walker will re that few.wnnM Kn-nKJa iv atm 1 turn toMifiaati!pa nrniidpd, hp rjin trom tnc iWiuiie uel Dcned; Fortunatelv? however, m0sf 0f them succeeded in imDrov- jn2 additional rafts and finally I O J I made their Way to San Juan, leav- ;nff 0D1V four Or five to Derish. l'' gome 0f the main bodv of the fil- libusters traveled the rest? of the 1 Wav bv land, after t reaching the n t 1 1 san Juan iviver. wnue otners came the whole distance through on their raUs.

A Comet Appboacqisc- A circular nal innounrM lh rfisftnrr hr Tr P,. ters, of the Dudley Observatory, Albany, of a faint comet in the constellation Cam- efopardalus which has neither nucleus! nor tan, ana is without any well-defined outl'ne. From hts observation of July 125, 26 and 27, Dr. Peters hasjeompu ted parabolic elements which show that tbe comet ia approaching both to the earth and to the sun, and has a chance to become of a splendid appearance near the time of its perihelion, at the end of August or beginning of September.
