FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CATTLE GROUNDS.
Between II and l o'clock yesterday, while the
racing was taking place at the Cattle Grounds
boy IA years old, son of Mr. Glasscock of
olo county, met his death in the following
manner He was riding young horse owned
by Col. j. 4. Stevens, of Sutter county
There were several contestants in the race,
and in the first half mile, when about half way
around, Stevens horse bolted the track, and
started for the gate. The boy could not hold
him, and being strapped on, could not throw
himself of. He then pulled with all his might
upon one rein to try and turn the horse from
his course, but without avail The horse was
coming diagonally towards the gate. from the
west, and, as he neared it, finding it closed, be
sheared to the left, and President Swezy's
buggy being Immediately in his pate, he gath
cred himself for a tremendous spring, and
leaped directly over the buggy. The strap
giving way. the boy was thrown over the
horses head, striking upon his back, aud the
horses legs striking the seat of the buggy tip
ped it over. and caused him to turn a complete
somersaut. He fell with q terrific crash across
the boys stomach and chest, breaking the bows
neck, and causing instant death.
A very melancholy feature in connection
with the accident, is the fact that the BOYS
mother was much averse to his coming to the
Fair, but being urgently solicited finally con.
sented that he should come and ride a horse
for neighbor, Mr. Tebbs. After riding Mr..
Tebbs' horse, the boy was anxious to ride
others, and did so till the sad casualty occurred
which we have narrated above.-MarusvWs

How MAN FEELS WHEN He IS WOUNDED.
We take the following from letter written
by one of the gallant Iowa volunteers, who
fought in the battle near Springfield. Mo:

little bush reloading my musket. Just before
the rebels engaged in this elose work. retreated

and fell TO the ground. Jumping up. one of
our boys asked me if was hurt replied
thought not. and drew up my musket to fire,
when he said =" Yes, you are shot through
the shoulder" / think it was this remark
more than the wound, which caused the field,
all at once, to commence whirling around me
in very strange manner started to leave
it, with half ounce musket ball in my shoul>
der. and once or twice fell down with dzzi
ness but 10 a short time recovered sufficiently
to be able to walk back to Springfield, nine
miles, where the ball was taken out. l was
very much pleased to find the wound was not
dangerous one.
In the battle, every sensation was drowned
in excitement We had no time to think OF
being killed, except when standing to be shot
at by cannon, without chance to shoot back.
This. to Us, was the most trying part of the
battle. When we had chance to use our
muskets, every thought and feeling was gone,
except the one thought OF shooting down the
rebels as rapidly as possible. Our regiment
certainly did its share Of the work that day.

The military enthusiasm which charac-

military drill rooms were crowded yesterday
with new recruits and applicants for enlist

ly of our Celtic population thronged the Pub
lie Square and filed the sidewalks in the
vicinity Of Lyman'B Block, and a constant
stream of human beings were passing in and
out, the pallid face and fearful eye attesting
the sOrrOwful parting of friends. Yet all
seemed to have stout hearts and willing TO
serve their adopted country. They were
drilled several hours in marching, when they
were dismissed. We visited the other Armor-
les, and found the same excitement prevail
ing as on Wednesday,
