Wo learn from the Dunedin “Evening Star” that while in Europe the Hon J. Vogel had given to him one of the zund nadel cjewelir or Prussian needle guns that had done service at the seiges of Metz: and Sedan, and Mrs Vogel has handsomely sent it to the Honorable Captain Fraser, for presentation to the Otago Museum. It is not verj” handsome, in fact it is a rough looking weapon, but evidently admirably adapted for rapid firing, and through the length of the barrel capable of being effective at long ranges.
