The RESULT OF SEcoRlsM IN THE
NAvY.--A transaction occurred in
San Francisco a few days since which
throws some light upon the admins.
tration of the navy. The United
States steam frigate California, a
vessel registered 432, 400 tons, and
sent to sea four years ago for the first
time, at q cost Of 81 ,500,OO0, was
sold at auction for $4,000. That
was about all the ship was worth,
and it is said the purchaser will have.
to break her up and turn her over to
the jnnk dealers to save himself.
Launched from Portsmouth, n. H.,
in 1871, the California was at once
sent to San Francisco, and in July,
1879, having not been moro than
twelve months at sea altogether, and
only two years in service, she was
put out of commission as worthless.

VALED1CroRY OF AN EDITOR WITH
A BULLET IN His BRAlN.-The fol-
lowing curious announcement is made
in the Vineland Independent by Mr..
Carluth, who was recently shot by
Lagdis: Tho article is headed "Adios''
(a,lieu), but no one will venture to
assert that, Notwithstanding the pres
ence of lead so near the vital region,
it il loaded with melancholy:
with this issue VIC step down aud
ont from the editorship and proprie-
torship Of the Vineland Independent.
We commend tho new proprietor to
our patrons and friends, and hope
and trust that under Ills management
the paper will give increased satisfac-
ton to its readers. This sudden sun.
dering Of our connection with news.
paperdom will surprise, and doubt
less disgust, many Of our friends !;
but there was no alternative. Two
months constant wrestle with q hos
tile bullet it, our brain has convinced
us that we lack the capacity to dc.
velop a lead mine and publish an in
dependent Vineland newspaper at
the same time. Our impaired eye
sight, shattered nerves and pulsatiug
brain admonish US that for the COM
ing year We must not stray too far
from the Hospital. f.
"To our subscribers who, for the
past four years have. read the lnde-
pendent and paid for it, We hereby
tender our Acknowledgements. Those
who have taken the paper just to
help it along, never volunteering a
dime or recognizing dun, we shall
feel it our duty, il We recover our
health, to thank in person.
1--WE can not omit to embrace this
perhaps last free opportunity to thank
our editorial brethren, who in their
kindness of heart have tlatterel oar
abilities, extolled our virtues and
whitewashed our faults. The 'coy-
otes' of tho craft who, taking advan-
tage Of our hclplessness, have at.
tempted to redeem past cowarlice by
yelping over our grave, we can afford
to forgive and forget.
"And, now, with charity for all /,
and malice toward none, We bid good
by to friends and foes, and settle back
on our pillow for a good, long, re-
freshing nap. Urn CARRUTH."
