FATAL AccrDENr.-By telegraphic dis
patch in yesterdays Sacramento Mercury,
we learn that Mr.. Taylor, generally known
as Natchez," proprietor of the Pioneer
Pistol Gallery, on Clay street, between X car
ny and Dupont, San Francisco, was killed
Friday afternoon, in the following manner:
NJ. Traverse, hackman, went into the front
part of the gallery, it being kept as Il sales.
room, to examine some weapons While ex-
amining sore Derringer pistols, one of which
was loaded, but not known or supposed to
be so and while in the hands Of Traverse,
with the muzzle pointed towards Taylor, it
was accidentally discharged, the ball enter
ing just to the right and lower part of Tay-
lor's nose, and coming out at the back of his
head. Henever spoke afterwards, nor hard
ly breathed-a few gasps, and all was over
How or when the pistol was loaded, or how
1t came to be in the showcase in that con-
dition, is unknown to the clerk and Taylor
could not have known it, or he would have
spoken of it. Judge Chamberlain was pres
eht at the time, and says no blame can be
attached to Mr.. Traverse, who is now plung-
ed into grief over the sad occurrence That
it was purely accidental, no right-thinking
man can doubt. Mr.. Traverse was immedi-
ately arrested by Deputy Sheriff Silver
throne, and taken to the county Jail, to
await the verdict of the Coroner's jury,
which was to have sit upon the body yester-
day evening" at o'clock. Mr.. Taylor had
many warm and attached friends, who lament
his untimely DEATH

by the retail liquor drinkers of Oroville on
last Saturday. The large meeting" took
place in the seven-by-nine entrance way of

MORE RoBBERIEs-Ths burglars, it seems,
have not left us yet. On Friday night
about o'clock, two of the gentry entered
the house of P. NJ Chandler, near the Cath
olic church, but in doing so they awoke a
lady, who, of course, screamed, and awoke
Mr.. c., who made hostile demonstration at

as he was retreating. but unfortunately the
cap had fallen from the nipple of the pistol
and the burglar escaped without having his
liver blowed into small fragments, as it
should have been.

ARIsTocRAcY.-The Rev. Mr.. Myers, in his
address last evening, touched thus on aris-
tocracy:
WAS Franklin ruined by dipping candles,
serving an apprenticeship, and laboring as
mechanic ? Was Washington ruined by
carrying a surveyors chain through the
swamps and briars of Virginia? Was Roger
sherman confined to infamy by hammering
on lap-stone? Or Elihu Burritt by the
SCOT and sparks of his anvil? Away with
your aristocratic notions, man, you don't ap.
Prehend the spirit ofthe age. Have YOU not
heard that labor is King, and is about to as.
sumo the government of this land? ?"

The SENTENCE OF JOHN KELLER.-At 103
o'clock this morning, says the Sacramento
Bee of Friday, upon the opening of the Dis
trict Court John Keller convicted of murder
in the second degree for killing Henry A.
Bush, was brought up for sentence. The
court room was crowded to excess, and as
the Judge took his seat the utmost stiffness
prevailed-so that a pin might have been
heard to drop In clear and impressive
tone Judge Bolts read the following sentence;
The People as. John Keller.-John Keller:
After fair and impartial trial by jury of
your own selection you have been found
guilty of the heinous crime of murder.
sincerely hope that you had some excuse for
taking the life of your friend and companion,
the proof of which you have been unable to
adduce. But, a minister of Justice, can
only look to the evidence before me, and,
looking at that. can find no palliation Of
your offense. The only provocation of which
we hear, is one given months before, which
you forgave, or pretended to forgive taking
the deceased to your bosom in the confidence
of apparent friendship If, under these cir
cunistances, vengeance was still lurking In
your breast, which was finally satiated in
the blood of your unsuspectiDg victim, you
possess heart devoid of social virtue, and
are unfit for communion with your kind.
The law supposes degrees in the crime Of
which you have been convicted and leaves
the Court to graduate the punishment accord
ing to the offense. The circumstances of your
case push it to the EXTREMIST verge of murder
in the second degree, and you are probably
indebted to the mercy of the jury, that your
life does not pay the forfeit of your offense
Therefore, in virture of the power vested
in me by law, l doom you to confinement in
the State Prison for the remainder of your
natural life
And now there is only one hope left you
that you may SO far improve the period of
your confinement as to reconcile yourself to
God and secure that peace and happiness in
another world that is forever denied you in
this.
As the words 81 doom you to confinement
in the State Prison for the remainder your
natural life" were uttered by the Judge, the
countenance of the prisoner suddenly assumed
very melancholy appearance, and he COW
cred his eyes with his hands as if greatly
moved. 1t was very evident that he did not
expect so severe a sentence, but its justness
no one who read the testimony, or listened to
the evidence, can for moment question.

The Celebration.

Tomorrow will be gala day in Califor-
MIA. In San Francisco, Sacramento. and our
own Marysyille, the programmes are arrang-
ed for celebrating the great event of the
age. the laying Of the ocean telegraph cable,
and thousands upon thousands will flock from
the mountains and valleys, the hill.sides and
the gulches, to the cities named to Join in
the general rejoicing. There never was a
period, since the organization of our State
government, when Californians had more
cause for rejoicing than the present. The
complete success, almost beyond the possibili-
ty of a doubt, of the telegraph cable which
binds so closely together the old world and
the new the establishment of overland mail
routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast ;
the eminent success which has attended the
labors of the agents of our government in ef
fecting treaties with nations whose narrow
minded policy, or ignorance, has for so long
a period prevented our people from having
commercial intercourse with them and last,
but not least to be reoced over, the general
prosperity and happiness of our people-all
these blessings, we all must admit, coming,
too, in such rapid succession, call loudly and
deserve, the most deyout thanks to the Great
Ruler of the Universe, from all classes of our
citizens, and no more appropriate way could
be devised for rendering them than that fixed
upon for Monday next From the feeling
which is apparent among those having the
matter Immediately in hand in our own city,
as well as that of our citizens generally, and
from the extensive arrangements being made
we cannot but infer that the Marysville cele-
bration will be second only to that of San
Francisco Among other interesting features
an apparatus is to be erected at the Pavilion,
in Cortes Square, for the direct transmission
of messages to the headquarters of the cele-
brations below. This we consider the most
interesting and appropriate feature in the
whole arrangement. The Fircmcn, the differ

positions in the procession, and give an i'm
posing appearance to it which it otherwise
