SUICIDE OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Col. John G.. Scott and LieuI.
John f. Small.

Two melancholy suicides lately Oe-
CURED in San Francisco both of which
we're in the regular army. The body Of
Lieut.. John F. Small was found in his
room, dressed in full uniform, and COM
pletely covered by the clothing Of the
bed. On q stand near the head Of the
couch was q vial which had contained
chloroform. He left several letters, one
Of which reads as follows:
"SAN Francisco, Feb. 10, 1869.
Nh Dear Brother: cannot endure
life longer. Go to the Fort and get
everything there that belongs to me.
Should any one ever speak OF me in your
presence, ia terms that reflect upon my
honor as gentleman, or my integrity as
q man, shoot him on the spot. Goodbye,
dear brother; live and be happy, il pos
sible, and when you die, die game. Your
brother, JOHN"
A part of the counterpane had been
saturated with chlorofOrm he had also
covered his face with it, and thus passed
off into tbs sleep OF death. He had plenty
Of means, and held an honorable posi-
ton, and no reason is known why ne
should have destroyed his own life.
The same day the body Of Lieut.. Col.
John G. Scott was found on his bed, with
both his wrists cut on both sides, COM
pletely severing the arteries, the blood
from which had flowed into a washing
bowl at one side and into the water
pitcher on the other. Everything went
to show that after cutting his wrists, he
must have held them over the two YES
sells until lie became almost extinct, and
it must have required wonderful eOolnessi
considering his terrible position. An
empty bottle, marked laudanum and
poison, and a bali bottle Of ehlorofOrm,
were found in the room, but there was
no evidence that he had taken poison.

ANNEXATION.
Delaware Proposes to GObble
Parts Of Two States.

From the Baltimore Gazette.
It is a well known fact that an ant can
carry burtnen many times heavier and
many times larger than itself, and that
an anaconda or a Kilkenny cat can
swallow an object three or four times
the size Of its own head. But for power
OF deglutition the Blue Hens Chicken,
as the State OF Delaware is styled, stands
unrivalied. fhis little state actually
proposes to take into its arms or nav all
the rest Of the Peninsula upon which it
is situated. It contains about twenty
one hundred squsFe miles, and 1t wants
to annex nearly five thousand. Its hum
dred and twelve thousand inhabitants
are bent upon gobbling up about one
hundred and seventy-One thousand. 1t
is composed Of three counties, and it is
making preparations to walk OF with
nine counties from Maryland and two
from Virginia. One branch of its Lagis-
lature has passsd al act providing for
the holding Of q convention In Dover,
on the first Of May next, to consider ths
mstter. This convention is to be COM
posed of delegates from the Eastern
Shore counties of Maryland and Viz
gtnis, and from the stats Of Delaware.
Ine States OF Maryland and Virginia
are Of course TO be asked to sccede to the
arrangement. This they most probably
will refuse to do. Apart from q natural
indispOsitiOn to make such sacrifices to
sppease the inOrdinats appetite Of our
little neighbor, sisterlY affection would
not permit US to stand by and see her
gorge herself in such q ridiculous fashion.
II our friends in Delaware want TO in
crease their importance, it cannot be at
our expense. II any change is to be
made they had better come over to US.
They would be heartily welcomed, and
we should doubtless get on swimmiBgly
together,
