Should the original owner revisit this mundane sphere apd look for his gun he would scarcely recognize it. as Mr. Houek has fitted it up with a handsomely mounted. full-length stock and barrel sheath. The stock mountings comprise forty-two designs of artistically carved pieces of German silver inlaid. It required $25 worth of the metal for the mountings, and the labor necessary to cut them down represents a large sum of money. but Mr. Houek, being an old friend of the gunsmith, has concluded to charge a large share of the cost to "Auld Lang Syne." Chambers King, the well-known gunsmith, of Canoe Kldge, Indiana County, was in town Saturday, having in his possession an old-fashioned muscle-loading rifle which he had recently repaired for Charles T. llouek, of Lawrencevllle, Pa. The gun is an heirloom in Mr. Houck's family, and th<» original, only the barrel of which remains, was made during the Continental period of the country's history.
