LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

CONVENIENCE OF having no arms except old
styles, and VIGOROUSLY unfit for use, and it
is not strange that they have been eagerly
longing for an Improvement The Artillery
Company had as battery only brass 10
Founders, which by constant use had become
honeycom6ed and extremely dangerous. In
the use Of them several members have been
seriously wounded, and the guns after being
condemned were kept only for the want Of
better ones. Recently, at the instance Of
Colonel Raymond and other gentlemen inter.
ested IN the affairs Of the Fourth Brigade
the Secretary Of the War Department at
washington Issued an order for the de-
livery from the Benicia Arsenal to the
State Of about SO, GOO worth of arms and am
munltlon, including several cannon and Cat
ling guns. Last Monday, under authority Of
AdIutaI t-General Bacbus, Captain Atwood
OF the Sacramento Light ARTILLERY, with two

TAXING THE WRONG TRAIN.-Every day
many people walk up to the ticl,et-window at
the depot and tender 81 so for a second class
ticket to San Francisco, and, being disar-
pointed and provoked when informed that
tickets sold at that rate are good only for the
train leaving at 1920 IN the morning, suddenly
conclude not to take the trip. Frequently q
passenger walks up, throws down three dol
lars for ticket to San Francisco, and, as
there are two trains going out Ly different
routes, ignores the placards upon the trains
and goes ty Stockton, which Is longer route,
and his ticket is not received. In nine of ten
such cases the travellers viii lay all the blame
on the much-hurried retailer of pasteboards
instead of remembering that all their trouble
might have been avoided by less haste
upon then part, and little observation or 4
iudicious question or two.
