WORCESTER. Aug %, 1858.
Forks he Mechanics Club, of Worcester, visited (by
unusually low prices friends of the Westboro Club,
on Saturday, 2lst INST, and held one Of the most
determined games of the season, in this exhila.
rating sport
The contestants took the ground at half past
ten o'clock, and, saving half an hours intermis.
sion, continued the game till three o'clock in the
afternoon, when 1t was decided in favor of the
Mechanics Club, which went out on the seventy
first inning, with one hundred tallies, to eighty
Eve for the Eagle Club; and home runs were
made by Messrs. Samuel and William Lawrence,
and G. Willis, and by one of the members of the
Eagle Club, whose name we cannot now recol-
lect. At the conclusion of the game, all repaired
to the Westboro Hotel, where splendid cola.
ton was served by Mr. S. H. Brown. Toasts,
speeches, wit, and humor, prevailed around the
board, and the Westboro boys seemed TO take
their defeat III the utmost good humor.
We would especially call the attention of
our Worcester friends, and such others as
shall have occasion to visit Westboro to the
magnificent entertainment which will be insured
to them if they call upon our friend, Mr.. Brown.
H is host within himself, aud in the matter Of
edibles, is not whit behind our Worcester cater.
lists.
Inc uIst nail OF the game ten Mechanics had
everything their own way. but after lunch, which
was served at II A o'clock, the Eagles took the
ground, with the determination, as it would seem,
Of winning the game, and walked up within four
talies of the Mechanics, who appeared to have
become, and were, in fact, very much dispir-
tied
at this period of the game the score stood, SO
for the Mechanics, to IS for the Eagles, with
every prospect of the latter's winning, for they
had been gaining without any drawback for the
las. hour. Here came the tug Of war. An I'M
fortunate bat lost the Eagles their innings, when
Mr.. Lawrence, the quiet, unassuming President
of the Mechanics, approached the talley keeper,
and inquired the score. -Four ahead, was the
reply. A look of blank amazement, quickly fol-
lowed by another Of fixed determination stole
over his features, when we saw him whispering
word in the ears Of his men. What he said
we know not, but such enthusiasm and deter
mination we never saw instilled into the hearts
of disputed men before. Cheer upon cheer had
been given for the brilliant raps and runs Of the
Eagles, for now they considered the game their
own for surety. Mr.. VIM. Lawrence took the
bat, and, 10 set an example, gave a home rap.
| This aided courage to enthusiasm, and the ten
| following taliies made as fast as any other
ten in the memory OF the coolest inhabitant," we
will venture to say. The following is the score !;

LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING RoDs.-The
Lowell Courier states that on taking down the
lightning rod Of church in that city, to make
repairs, it was found that the silver tips, on two
of the three points into which the rod was divid.
ed, had been subjected to high degree of heat,
so that the silver on one Of them was melted, and
remained adhering in the form Of globule This
showed that it must have received very heavy
discharge Of lightning, and conducted it off safe
ly.
In Clinton, as we learn by the Courant, case
occurred on Tuesday last, in which the rod was
not equally effcacious. At the house of Sidney
I. Howard. the lightning descended on the rod
but divided on the roof, two smaller portions
passing in different directions to the ground, do
ing slight damage by the way. The main portion
kept the rod till opposite the kitchen pump, the
nose Of which was slightly melted Thence it
crossed the room, passing two of the inmates,
split bed post in room adjoining, demolished a
window, and reached the ground by making holes
through the floor and the side Of the house. The
CourGnt does not tell what kind of rod it was,
whether it extended suitable distance into the
ground. or how it was connected with the house
These particulars are important, and never should
be omitted in such a case.

ENGLISH FEARS VS.. AMERICAN HoPEs.-
A London paper, in an article on the success
of the cable enterprise observes:
The decided success achieved in the laying
of the cable recalls to our memory the des-
pondency which but few months ago per-
vaded the minds Of some Of the earliest friends
of the enterprise, who were also among the
heaviest stockholders in the Company.
We remember that after the second parting
of the cable, Wr. Brooking, the Deputy
Chairman of the Directors, was violently op-
posed to proceeding any further in the enter
prise, and when he found he could hot bring
his colleague, MIR. Field, his American Coll
league and the Acting Manager, over to his
way Of thinking, he Indignantly resigned his
position and withdrew from all active partici-
patton in the proceedings.
Mr.. William Brown Of Liverpool, another
Director, was also decidedly opposed to any
further prosecution of the enterprise. He
would not attend the meetings of the Direo-
tors, but wrote them a letter instead, urging
the Board to give up the enterprise as fail.
ure, sell out their property, aud disband the
Company.
Others of the Directors were disposed to
follow this advice, but Mr.. Field stood out
firmly against every proposition looking to an
abandonment of the work. He was sanguine
of success. He knew no such word as fail.
He continued perseveringly and successfully,
against the arguments and fears of the croak-
ers, and eventually, through the force of his
own character, seconded by the efforts OF the
others, he succeeded in bringing majority
Of the Dirsctors to consent to a third trial.
The result fully justified his sagaoity.

The State Canvass.

The time for the approaching State Convention
Of the opponents Of the national administration,
is drawing near. Boston and Lowell have al.
ready led off in the selection of delegates thereto
aud we trust other localities will in due time at
tend to the matter of holding preliminary meet
ings and organizing for the canvass.
As an suspicious omen for other sections of the
State, at union meeting of members Of both
wings of the opposition to the Buchanan De-
mocracy, in Lowell, on Friday evening last. all
former differences which had stood in the wav of
a consolidated union of the friends of freedom and
Repubicanism in that city, were happily dissolv-
ed, and a strong delegation OF twenty six to the
Convention in this city on the 7th, headed
BY Hon. Linus Child, was selected. In
Charlestown, Cambridge, Salem, New Bedford,
and other cities, we hope similar spirit will be
manifested, and thoroughly political union o
all those who think alike on the great issue o.
the day, the extension Of slavery, be effected
In Worcester, nothing lies in the way Of cor
dial union Of the liberty loving voters, Of al
shades. in one common phalanx. Last veal
Gov. Banks received in this city 1858 votes, tc
73S for Beach, and 52l for Gardner, and it is en-
tirely within bounds to presume that Gov. Banks''
vote, this year, should he be renominated, owing
to the great popularity of his administration il
the Heart of the Commonwealth, can with little
effort be swelled to upwards of 1000. A major
ity of those who at the last election voted fol
Gardner, can reasonably be counted on for Banks
At the next election, ard not few Of the Beacf
voters OF last year, will do likewise. A caucus OF
the Banks voters, to select delegates to the Con.
vention, and organize for the coming campaign
will in due time be held, and, as we trust and
believe, delegation Of twenty-one strong and
true men will be selected.

The Ordnance Department has been making
experiments with new rife cannon, the inven.
tion Of sylvsnus Sawyer, Of Fitchburg, and great
delight is expressed at its success. At the dis
lance Of one mile the body Of an ordinary sized
tree would not be missed once in fifty times, Sc
exact are its line shots. In seventeen shots at q
distance Of one mile, the farthest was not over
three feet from the centre Of the tree. Such
shooting was never known before.
The cannon has groove like the rife, which
forms circle in twenty feet The gun now be.
ing tested is small one, carrying only about q
Six pound ball, and has been fred over tao hun.
