MRS HATTIE G. HOUSE.
Accidentally Shot by her Husband.

On Thursday, April 3, Mir Edward House, living between Millerton, N. Y. and Sharon, Conn.,, accidentally shot and killed his wife, Mrs Hattie G.. House. The details could only be ob- tained from the husband, as there was no other witness. He said that he stood in the door of his house shooting at a mark with small Remington rife. The door opens on long piazza. To the right of 1t is a window. also leading out on the piazza, Looking through this win dow he saw his wife standing near the house, ten or fifteen feet away. He raised the rife and aiming at the target pulled the trigger. At the same instant his wife ran by, bent over and with her head down as if to get it below the mug gle of the rife. But the ball entered near the top of her forehead, and, pas sing downward, lodged in the throat. She died in few hours without having regained consciousness. An investiga- tion was made by Coroner Cole, and a verdict of death by accident was ordered.
 Rev E. H. Roys of Millerton was called home from Conference to attend the funeral, which occurred on Sunday, March 6, at II o'clock A. M., at her late | residence.
 She was sister of the wife of E. 4. Fuller, who used to live at East Canaan "a teamster in the employ of Barnum, Richardson Go.
 She was a respected young woman % years old, and had been married but four months. They were fondly devot- ed to each other, and the blow falls with double weight upon the disconsolate husband, who realizes it could easily have been avoided.
 In course of his remarks, MT Roys said !" Yesterday morning in NewYork

I read in the Times an account of the event which brings us together. Death is sad, and sadder when We think 1t might not have been, but in the ever recurring thought of what might have been another factor often appears which gives us some comfort. There is vast difference between a mistake and an intention. This casts the mantle of charity over many of our acts, and binds hearts together in tender sympathy. The mistakes of our lives are many we are constantly doing those things we would not. How easily our great mis- takes might have been small ones Tn their consequences, and how easily our small ones might have been great, and it is not always put down to our credit that they are not, but God and man will forgive the unintentional injury of the one who tries to do we'll.

A WAR REMINIsCENCE,

During all the summer and fall of the year 1860, J. B. Floyd of Virginia, Bu- chanan's secretary of war, kept the streets of Springfield. Mass, between the armory and the railroad depot, full of teams carting arms for distribution to the different arsenalS of the country.
 So effectively was the distribution planned and executed that when Fort Sumter was fired upon on the 18th of April, 1861, thereby rendering active hostilities unavoidable, of the 654, ,OOO Springfield rified muskets on hand in the spring of 1860, but 129,0 remain ed in northern arsenals, while the south ern states had 525, 1000. It was said that Floyd also stole about $6, GOO, 900; SS7O,- 900 of which were U. s. bonds.
 These arms were at that time the most efficient weapon in use that had stood the test of war, being after the pattern of the French Minnie rife, about two pounds less weight than the English Enfield and equally efficient. They were muzzle 1oaders carrying about a half ounce ball with range of 1900 yards, the ball being elongated with a thin hange at the base which expanded when the powder exploded and filled the rifed groves in the barrel, thus util- izing the full force of the powder. The conical ball heretofore in use was good for but about 100 yards.
 Lincoln called for 75,OOO men for three months, on the 18th of April, the news of which was received in the Con- federate congress with shouts of laugh ter and as the South kept on organizing and drilling, it became apparent that there was to be hard and protracted

A sKllFul SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,

Government an interesting account OF u
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc.third Of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
tile only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar indies.

faint sensation but, on the contrary, it
appears To aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sI,nken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky

to grasp something firm to keep from

dry and hot ut times; the blood becom-

circulate properly. After time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste
Oftcntimes there is palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever as the opening in the intcs.

though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
