A target which by means of electricity shows instantaneously upon another target set up at the firing station the exact spot where a bullet strikes, and does away with the necessity of employing a marker to signal the result of -each shot, has been recently perfected, after years of labor, by a Swiss locksmith. The exact details of the target in its latest form are not yet published but a description was,given a short time ago in a Swiss paper, and also in an Austrian military periodical, of a target on the same principle which was successfully tried last year. In this target the face is divided into a number of concentric rings, and each ring is divided by two lines drawn right across tneiacesaud crossing each other at right angles at the centre. In each of the subdivisions of the target at the firing station a small hole is pierced, and when a bullet strikes the distant target a number at once appears m the hole on the corresponding subdivision of the target near the shooter • pr, should the ball strike upon one of the lines dividing the face or the target numbers are shown in both the adjaceut subdivisions. Iv the trials made with the target the apparatus worked perfectly during the eighc days for which the firing was kept up; the only accident which happened being that once the electric wire was cut by a bullet. J The blessing of old age ia health and comfort. These are assured to the careful in middle age ; but accident or misapprehension of the best modes of maintaining the system in a well-balanced state of health often lead to the setting up of diseases in the constitution, which show themselves in after life. Persons of 70 years of age have been cured by the use of "Ghollah's Gbeat Indian Cures," which can be had of all Chemists. Testimonial.— lo9 Elizabeth Street, October 18, 1869. Sir,— l have great pleasure in giving my testimony to the effect of Ghollah's , Indian Cures. I have been affliated for several months past with diarrhoea and dysentery, so much so that it wa» with difficulty I could attend to my

work rs engineer. I took three bottles of Ghollah's Indian Cures, and I am quite recovered, and as well as ever I was in my life.
