THE Army Board in session at Springfield
for the examination of the present style OF
small arms in Government service, have re-
solved to reduce the calibres from SO and 81
to so, thus making reduction of about one
third in the weight on soldier, and enab-
ling him to cary much greater number OF
rounds without unnecessary weight to his

SINGULAR AND FATAL Accountable Sac
remento Union of 18th May says:

rtmentO Union OF lotn May says:
A strange and sad accident occurred at
Folsom at about noon yesterday, which. soon
led to fatal result. The presence of Ed
ward Daily, who was suspected of having
shot William Connell, in Centre township.
few nights ago, led to discussion, at Pat
terson's Hotel, as to the possibility OF Con-
nell having shot himself, inficting such a
wound as produced his death. John Waters
who was present, in arguing the affirmative
side OF the question, took up a gun which
stood behind the door for the purpose OF
illustrating the case. Some one said. " Be
careful of the gun-it may be loaded" A.
d. Patterson replied, 4" No, it is mott has
not been loaded for long time" Waters
placed the muzzle of the gun to his abdomen
below the navel and touched the trigger
with his foot. To the surprise and horror
OF all present the gun went off, and Waters
fell forward, fmortally wounded. He lived
little over an hour and expired. Waters
has been resident of Sacramento county
some Is years, having resided a portion of
the time at Brighton, but latterly at Folsom.
John Waters above referred to was a
most estimable man. As long ago as 1899
he was citizen of Milwaukee, Wis, and then
followed the profession of an artist, ard ac-
quired considerable fame there and in Ga
lena, H., and Platteyille, Wis. as pain
ter of portraits. In 1919 he immig igrated to
California, and in 1850 was associated with
Mr.. Hollub in the clothing business, cor
ner of 4th and j street, Sacramento. He
afterwards embarked his fortunes with those
of the town of Folsom, and has since resided
there. Many friends lament his untimely
death.

THE Marysville Appeal evidently takes
great pleasure in hating Copperheads.-
Hear him:
The .jackals of the defunct Copperhead
party, with appetites of the dog and cunning
Of the fox, are hunting around the Union
camp licking their mouths and sucking
their paws. They prophesy that the Union
party will divide, and the respectable (God
save the mark portion Of it will join hands
with the numbering Copperheads, and to-
eether they will secore and hold the Offices.
There is no danger OF any such unholy alli-
ance. No respectable number of the Union
party can ever consent to besmear and
slime themselves over with the deflement
reeking from the bodies of the snakes.
There Is no danger Of sufficient number of
Union men going to the detestabe and God
forsaken Copperhead fraternity. We know
they now look complacently upon Union
men. We have heard before of the charms of
snakes. We know how the Garden of Eden
was invaded. We have been taught the
sting of the adder is death. Therefore we
feel the great mass Of the people are above
temptation.
The Express Of yesterday draws the fiat
tering JUNCTION to its polluted soul that the
Union party will be cut up into self-destroy-
ing factions, and then the snakes will have a
glorious repast over the spois. 1t says :
In such contest there can be no doubt as
to which will triumph. or which assimilate
with Democracy. Nothing can prevent this
except foreign war, ard that is a question
of time and policy on the part of our Nation
al Administration. Looking at this picture
then, it becomes the duty of the Democracy
to keep good heart, have no fears for their
future status, and feel sure that brighter
day will follow our presenlpolitical darkness.

this city, was returning at a late hour
from a professional visit a few miles out,
he was stopped somewhere on Spear street
by three men, one of whom seized his
horses by the head. A sharp blow from
his whip started his horses with such
force as to throw down the man at their
head, who had to take such chance as he
could get under the horses feet and the
carriage wheels. His comrades were left
to take care Of him, and the DR.. made his
escape in safety. Could he have admin.

would have been wholesome in its effects
on others bent upon burglary and robbery.

between the dippcr' and the horizon. Its
descent commenced like a shooting star"
but grew into a large ball Of most brill.
liant white light, and then exploded
throwing equally brilliant white lights
in all directions, like 4 rocket. IL left q
short trail from where it started, which
seemed to remain stationary, and slowly
changing to an oval or round light spot,
gradually fad cd away, lasting about five
minutes. Il. was certainly the most
beautiful meteor we ever saw.

UNIVERSITY or VERMoNT.--The corpor-
alton of the University of VI, which has
been almost in uninterrupted session since
Tuesday last, closed its labors on Thurs
day evening, by the election to the Presi-
dency Of Rev. Ebenezer Cutler, Of Wor-
cester, Mass. The selection is an excel
lent one, and we congratulate the corpor-
alton in SO far respecting the wishes Of
alumni Of the University of Vermont, in
calling the head Of the institution a gen.
tleman whom we are confident will be ac-
ceptable to them. Mr. Cutler is to the
''manor BORN" being a VermOnter. He
is a Caledonia County boy. hailing or.
iginally from Waterford, and was grad
uated at the University lS45. His rep
u%tation for scholarship is high, while as
a preacher and a pastor he is one of the
most popular Of the Congregational de-
nomination. We have reason to know
that in Worcester, the city in which he
has lahore for number of years past,
he is held in the highest estimation, not
only by his W congregation but by the
citizens generally of that lourishing city.
Mr.. Cutler is not only q scholar
but he is also a man of fine
address, genial manners, and excellent
business capacity. He has been through
the "mill'' and knows the wants Of the
University. Wa trust he may accept the
appointment rendered him with unamity
by our corporation, and which SO crafty.
ingly meets the wishes Of the alumni. We
are sure that if Mr. Culver consents to be.
come its President, the College cannot
fail to make al onward step, and that in
all its endeavors to that end he will b.
supported by the personal influence and
Pecunaary contributions of its graduates

JAY COOKE, THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT.

JAY COOKE, HI SUBSCRIPTION AGENT.
Mr.. Jay Cooke, an enterprising and
successful Philadelphia banker, has al
ways been one of the most efficient nego-
tiators of public securities.
1t has always been Mr., Cookies policy
to have our loans taken at home, and he
has has never solicited subscritions abroad
believing that our W people should
have the advantage of the interest. The
result of Mr.. Cookies efforts for the 5.20s
is we'll known. Under his agency, dat
ing about Feb. LIST, 1868, and closing Ian.
%, 1864, the loan was sold up to $5l4,-
7SO.5OO.
AS great success always occasions jeal-
ously, complaints of favoritism towards
Mr.. Cooke were made against the Treasu-
ry Department, which a special report to
Congress proved to be without the slight
est foundation.
Another wise act of Mr. Cookies was
the placing of the advertising of these
loans in the hands of Peaslee & Co.. ad-
vertising agents in New York. The man.
ner in which they have prosecuted this
business is truly commendable, and no
doubt the press will hereafter be on friend
ly terms with them.
