was yesterday shot by some person unknown upon
the Gentilly Road The boy, at the time of the
accident was riding on horseback on the Gentilly
Road, and passed what appeared to be a hunter
with gun upon his shoulder. Some conversation
ensued. The boy dared the man to shoot at him,
he says, and perhaps his manner was otherwise
saucy at any rate, as he was riding away the
hunter fired at him, shot penetrating the scalp
of his head, another going through his hat The
hunter then Immediately jumped upon the train
which was chen returning to the city, remaining
upon it until within square or two of the depot.
He left behind upon the train, his shoes, as a
token, the engineer says, and has not been seen

The Bnse Rnu Contest.

We rejoice to hear Of the interest good many
of our young men take in outdoor athletic sports
and our rejoicing is only tempered by the regret
that the interest is not more general Base ball is
essentially manly sport Ithas come to us hel.
lowed by tradition. 1t is game that in England
almost every young man, of any parts or attain
ments, prides himself upon knowing; and vet we
regret to say, and almost blush in saying it, it
is one to which our young men pay too little at
tentiOn; not for the extraordinary merits of the
game in particular but because of the general in.
difference to the active, healthful exercises.
These remarks have been suggested by
She match which came off yesterday even
ing between the Lone Star and Mag
nolia Base Ball Clubs, upon the Delacbaise
ground. The weather was magnificent, the
ground was as level as if it had been made so for
that purpose, and the players, dressed in their
gray uniforms, bent to their work with a will.
There was large crowd of spec tators present; :;
some in carriages and many on foot. Besides the
match for the championship, there were numerous
side issues being made by contestants less known
to fame. The match was for three games the last
OF which came off yesterday. Two weeks ago the
Lone Star starred it so successfully as to come out
the victors. The match Sunday week ago re-
suited in tie. The result yesterday was again in
favor of the Lone Star Club. We always have a
feeling of sympathy for the "bottom dog in the
fight" and we therefore advise the Magnolia not
to feel discouraged, to learn wisdom from defeat,
and to still hold themselves in readiness to give
the Lone Star, or anybody else. Zone more
round" We had the pleasure of witnessing por-
tion of the struggle, and we congratulate both
winners and losers, the ins and the outs, upon the
skill which they displayed. We give below the
result of yesterdays contest:

KIDNAPPING IN CHINA letter from PelSin, in
the Paris Moniteur, contains the following:

IHe FaFls MOMteuF, contains the following:
Crimes have never been more FREQUENT in the
capital, and the assaults on private persons have
assumed most frightful character. Pekin is at
this moment infested by band of nalefaeaors
who carry off children and young women. The
Chinese relate that the bandits, to effect their
object more easily, use Supplying powder, BY
means of which they send their victims to sleep.
They afterwards transport them beyond the walls
OF Pekn .E to haunts nnknownto the police, and
put them to death if they cannot obtain heavy
ransoms from their families These facts have
occurred often enough to spread terror among all
classes OF the populations; and the court, report
says IS much pre-occupied with the subject. The
superior magistrate, Toen. kuo, has recently made
a report to the sovereign, in which he demands
shat the crime of abduction shall be assmlated to
that of robbery with violence, and punished in
the same manner.

At his residence in McGregor, Friday, Dec. 21st,
OF Typhoid Fever, HENRY J. POWERS aged 81 years.
The deceased had been ailing several weeks but did
not call physician. On the Wednesday previous to
his DEATH he down town at his place of business
On that evening he was taken suddenly worse, physi-
clans were sent for, but they had little hopes he con.
tinued to sink until Friday about noon, when the
spirit Was released from mortality.
Being Mason-a Sir Knight as the title goes-the
Brotherhood took charge of the body and gave the
deceased all the attention pertaining to his high posi-
ton while living The funeral services were conduct
ed in the Congregational Church on Sunday: sermon
by Mr. Sloan from part of John 14:27 "Peace leave
with you, my peace give unto you" A densely
crowded house, the imposing ceremonies of the knights
Templar burial, the eloquent and touching sermon,
the muffied strains Of the Band and above ALL the
sorrow which pervaded the audience made this most
solemn occasion.
We hardly dare speak of the deceased. He was 80
universally beloved that we cannot describe the una
fected alan M which marked the faces of all when the
report obtained "IrENRY POWERS can't live!, He was
amiable and honorable, he was warmly loved by all
who knew him. Anguish unutterable possesses the
soul when the gentle voice and eloquent eye of de-
parted present themselves the and the eye
of Memory The virtues of the dead rise up in har-
monius beauty if to reproach for our failure be-
FORE to appreciate treasure which once our own
while the faults-for faultless-are deep
buried in the heart, impenerably veed by the hand
of affection!
HENRY Of natures noblemen.
None knew him but to love him,
None named him but to praise,
