RESIGNATION OF A sUTLER.
Mr.. NJ Ezekiel, the Sutler of the Fifth Reg
iment Camp Dennison, resigned yesterday
The vacancy was to have been filled las
night by the officers of the regiment but VI
are not advised as to who was the successful
party, there being several aspirants for tn
position.
TARGET SHOOTING.
On Saturday last target-match came Of
at Robert Reilley's, fifteen kinds of gun
being tried. The committee decided in favo
of Hamilton's, Burnside's and Sharpe's Rifles
but as some dissatisfaction existed in refer
ence to the award, a second match was OF
dered.
We learn that the worthington Rifles, i
shooting at target which was placed at tn
foot of high bank, threw a number of shot
half mile beyond the hill, and came nes
hitting some men who were engaged at wor
in a field. They must not overshoot in tht
way if they intend to be successful in KILN
q the enemy. The great trouble with o
, amateurs is that they overshoot the mark
! therefore, it would be well to take the Ker
: tuckian's advice, and 'shin" the enemy.

}: NEW CARTRIDGE INVENTED By AN INDIANA
!, The new metallic water. proof cartridg
= which the Ordnance Department has order,
= to be tested at West Point, is the inventiC
of Willis Z. Moore, of ofCrawfordsville, Indian
The cartridge case is made of tin, in IL
d shape of cone, and has two week points
Y its circumference. When it is in the cannC
: its apex touches the breech-piece and thu
e a chamber is formed between the cartridl
: and the cannon, said chamber being in Il
It rear of the cartridge. The cartridge
: pricked by forcing sharp instrument dow
e through the vent. When the charge e.
h plodes portion of the gas escapes throuG
e the weak points of the cartridge into Il
: air chamber, and by its pressure instant
y forces the metal case out of the gun. II
value of this cartridge lies in the fact of
loading at the muzzle, and yet cleaning Il
IS cannon at every shot in so perfect q mann
It that swabbing repeatedly is unnecessary.
