P1ArISG orr A JoKE-Mr. Pcrrywinkles family
went into the country the other day, many respect
able families do to rusticate and wear OIL little Of the
wsm weather. Peuywinkle rerides on the South
"Side" of the late lamented City of Wi!hamsburgh.
PCrrywirke keeps itment OF good liquors In his
cellar. as many RESP ectable families do. This fact
as well as the absence Of Peuywtkles family, became
known to the score more Of practical jokers who
consregate nightly a; the Fifth st. Social Union where
the plsn tor many rich joke has been concocted
while siryDg st the social board. Here II was that
the iokers decided to Try their hand upon Perywnkle
and at the same time to try their taste upon
Pelrywnkles wines. Toe plans were all arranged
The next night about II o'clock tive of the party,
decked in Haunting female attire, walked up the front
steps If Mr.. Perywinklss house and rang the bell
Mr. Perrywinkle was acting in the capacity of the
maid-ofall work, or in other words was keeping
bachelors hall Some time elapsed before Mr. Perry
wipkle made his appearance which gave the neigh
bos an excellent opportunity to observe the very
strange circumstance of two strange ladies calling ON
Mr. Perrywinkle al so late hour, and especially IN
the absence Of Mrs. Peuywinkle. Presently the door
opened, tie two supposed females stepped inside, aud
tSe door was closed There food for scandal, and
Mrs Busybody took advantage. Shortly Others OF
the i,kers followed and then there came sounds OF
" revelry by night"
Next day gossip was doing her work. and the report
ives current that falsehearted Perrywnke has strange
women that nobody knows Onything about coming to
his house late at night and here the curtain drops
until the arrival of Mrs Perywinkle.
BASE BALL "A friendly or union game of base bail
By the Knickerbocker Club of New York and the Put
nam Club Of Brooklyn Eastern District took place
on the grounds Of the latter in Brooklyn Situr-
day afternoon, which occasion drew together quite a
large audience and fair proportion of ladies. We
noticed particularly the fielding of the Knickerbock-
era as being very superior also was the batting Of
the Putnams, who gave us idea Of the perfect
mastery to be obtained over the bat by sharp and
S, stematic of practice. At the conclusion Of
the game, which lasted over two hours, the score
stood as follows:
Gldwn.....,............. 2lRobnson: :.........'..

After the announcement of the result, the Putnams
escorted their gucsts TO the Riding School in South
Fourth-st., where q sumqtuous collation. had been
prepored. A. the head OF the tables we observed
Mr. s. Goodwin President Of the Putnam Club, aud
Mr. G. Brown Treasurer Of the Knickerbocker Club.
Aaer all had partaken amply OF the viands before
item, toasts were drank, and responses made by
Messrs. Brown, Anthony, Wadsworth, Brotberson,
Curry, NebGhr Mclaughlin, and Tucker, of tie
Knickerbockers, and by large number Of gentlemen
Of the Putnam Club. The best feeling prevailed dur
ing the evenings and from what we saw on this occa-
sion we would highly recommend TO the various Ball
Clubs in the vicinity Of New-York a similar inter-
change Of ciyilities, being productive Of the best
results 70 ell interested in this truly Natons game.
