have also been received from the marshal of
Florida. 1t is conjectured that Maryland has
lost portion of her slave population, in com O..
parison with the enumeration of 1850. The
returns of the slave population of the border
southern states will be subject of interest to
the politicians and statesmen. Ii will proba-
bly, appear that the amount of emigration has
tended to concentrate the slaves in the cotton
and sugar growing states, which, by their fer
tiity and enterprise, can give them more
profitable employment than can be found for
them elsewhere. There is no room in the

VILLAINY IN HoLDEN.-Sometime during
the past week, some miscreants took valua-
BILE mare, belonging to Major L. L. Hall, from
his pasture, and beat and pounded her most

appearance Of having been done some days,

healed. From the appearance, it is supposed
they applied 'twister" to her nose, and hold

THE SPARTANs VS.. THE 0LYMPICs.-Some
feeling has been excited between the Spartan
base ball club OF this city, and the Olympic
club Of Clinton, growing out of their late
match game, in which the Spartans were the
victors. 1t is claimed on the side of the Olym-
pics that the game was played in violation OF
the rule of the Massachusetts association,
which says "the ball must be caught flying In
all cases." inasmuch as the referees decided
that if the ball was caught rolling after the
striker had struck at it, it was ''fair catch"
1t is also claimed by implication that 1t was
not "fair, stand-up, manly game" but one
of "quips, qurks, and false balls" that ii
was, on the side of the Spartans, squat
game" halt dozen or more often 'squatting'
round the batter to intimidate or discomfort
him. The Spartans, on the other hand, rep
resent that the game was played strictly in
accordance with the rules of the association
that the statement in relation to trolling balls
is erroneous; and that the implication OF un-
fairness or dishonesty is not warranted by any
conduct of theirs. The Spartans speak with
pleasure of the treatment they received from
the members of the Olympic club, but In this
respect, at least, they hold to the doctrine OF
'non-intervention" by outsiders.
