MILITARY REUNION. Company B {Sacra-
mento Light Artillery, First Artillery Regi-
ment, last evening received at its armory
Company G (Sarsfeld Guard of the same
regiment. The Guard came at the invitation
of the artillery company to enjoy a social re-
union. The armory was filed by hosts and
guests to its fullest capacity. Captain Az
wood presided and had on his right Captain
Sheehan, of Company q. Refreshments were
served in ample quantity and good variety,
and when these had been discussed for an
hour, speaking was declared in order. Ad-
dresses were made by Captains Atwood and
Sheehsn, Majors Harvey and Wallace, Adju-
tant Guthrie. Lieutenants Neary and Dalton.
Corporal Wallis, private Shields and
Others, and songs were given by privates
Storch and Nesbit, and by a good quartet.
There was much wit and humor in
dulged in, and the atmosphere of the occa-
sion was full of sociability. Some of the
speakers dwelt warmly and at length upon
the uses and purposes of militia organizations
and the value of the citizen. soldiery to the
republic. The interchange of courtesies be-
tween the two companies, and the expressions
of friendliness, were of the most cordial
character. The armory was decorated for the
occasion very handsomely, with flags, mot
toes colored lanterns, streamers, bannerets,
etc. The armory has recently been thoroughly
re6tted, the walls colored, and the south wall
tapaStried and aroyunad with bap1copna
heavy molding, surrounded by military
accouterments, engravings; military insignia,
notices and decorative works ornament the
panels and wall spaces, the whole making it
very handsome and snug little ''home for
the company.
PRoPAGATING BOVINE YIRUs.-Announce-
ment is made by DIR. G. NJ Dixon, of this
city. that he has established stables for the
propagation of pure bovine virus, in which
he has had previous experience in the man
agement of athe "Lamartine Farm Vaccine
Stables" of Wisconsin. The appointments
necessary for the propagation of virus are
located in his stables at the rear of his Office
on Eighth street. A platform is hung by
hinges to the wall. To this, when vaccinat-
ing, young heifer is fastened securely with
straps, and then the platform is raised to q
level by means of puliies. The hair is then
carefully shaven from the udder and
escutcheon. and the virus, which was recently
obtained from the Beaugencys stock, that
originated in genuine case of cow-pox, is
inserted under this surface in from ten to
thirty places. In three or four days indica-
cations of the workings of the virus appear,
and in about week the shaven surface is
studded with mature vissicles full of vaccine
lymph. With this ivory or quill points are
charged, and these are used in vaccinations,
or in transporting the lymph to other parts.
1t would be matter of interest to any who
have not already witnessed the operation, to
visit the establishment. The heifers do not
appear to be much affected by the working of
the cow-pox disease upon them, but some-
times refuse to eat much for day or two,
but after that do not appear any different
than usual.
