According to astronomers one of the

ranged at times, but as his insanity was
of mild type. he was permitted to ruu
at large. He was taken i'll with the
pneumonia recently, and County Com.
missioner Wood, while on visit to
Spring City this week. called with a
physician to see him. Burns informed
them that a short time ago a man
entered his cabin, and brandishine a
big bowie knife. said to him. Burns,
your time has come" and then stabbed
him 10 the side. The visitors thought
this was nothing more than a hallucna-

anime his side, and there. just as he
told them, was a wound caused by a
stab with knife or some sharp instru-
ment; bat whether it was self inflicted
or not they could not tell. Arrange,

Will be introduced this session. I
main features of the bill. but UNDER
stand that 1t will be for the protection
OF growing crops aud meadows at Ger.
tain seasons of the year. The people
of nearly every county in the State are
petitioniug and protesting against the
repeal of the drummer law. The
original
ANTI CHINESE ACT,
Introduced and persistently advocated
by Mr.. Howard, of Humboldt, in the
Assembly two years ago. and which
would have tended to have driven out
the greater part. If not all the Chinese
in the State, is sought for at the Secre-
tary's office. The opinion prevails
that it will be passed this session in
part. If not as originally introduced.
1t is deserved compliment to your
county. as the bill is now con ,idered to
g been based on just and
ncipIes. A bill will be Introduced
amendatory of the Act
GRANTING REWARDS
For the arrest and conviction of mail
and stage robbers. 1t freouenty hap
pens tat one or more of the robbers
get killed in attempting to rob stages,
aud the law. as it now stands, pays no
reward for Kidding the coontry of them.
1t is to remedy this defect that the law
will be amended. Some members will
vote against the proposed amendmen
conteoding that the reward will be paid
hereafter. in other words, that the deed
will be treasure laid mp in heaven.
Ap effort will also be N ade to have
FOUR YEARS TERMS
For certain county officers, among
them Sheriff aud Assessor, the latter

GENERAL SCHOFIELD AT WEST POINT.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALD:-
As said by your Washington correspondent "Scru-
tator in to-days issue OF the HERALD. "History
peats ITSELF" at West Point well elsewhere.
The severe measures that were deemed neces-
sary in 1852 to punish indecent and disgraceful
proceedings still to be necessary in 1879 But
the partial record of 1852 furnished by your cor
respondent conveys a very erroneous impression.
1t proved not true that Cadet Schoield "tho
chief actor any actor at all in those indecent
and dsgraceful proceedings" Hence his dismissal
revoked
The simple truth is that Cadet Schofeld always
treated the cadets under his charge with the
same kindness which General Schofeld now shows
toward all cadets.
Your editorial inquiry as to "Why should not the
cadets now in disgrace on that account claim the
same privilege which Cadet Schofeld got-trial by
court martial ?" may be answered that cadet Is
ever refused trial by court martial when he asks
for it On the contrary their frequently
referred to a court martial notwithstanding their
expressed preference to be judged and punished by
the superintendent. VINDEX
