SOME ExCITEMENT-We were wor.

SOME EXCITEMENT We were wor-
ried yesterday by the inquiry from a
dozen different parties" Did you
know that the Opera House had
caved in?"
Upon inquiry, we discovered that
the back wall in settling, as all walls
must, had slightly crushed the build
ing adjoining, occupied by Altering 4
Hassler as a confectionery and ice
cream saloon, bursting the glass in
one show window. The damaged
building belongs to DR.. Bray, and
the walls are thin, and the foundation
not very solidly laid, and the massive
walls of the Opera House in settling,
catching a slight blight on the weak
wall, very materially brought it down.
The wall of the Opera House is be-
yond all comparison the heaviest and
most solid in the city, and stands
as perpendicularly and upright as a
plumb line. The damage done is
nothing more than the breaking of
four lights of glass, and the necessity
to reft shutters, and ELL up a slight
breach in the wall with mortar. The
great and unresistable weight Of the
Opera wall may be in some measure
appreciated by the fact that some of
the bricks in DIR. Bray's building were
crushed like egg shells. or as a pigmy
would be crushed in the hands of a
giant. Many wild rumors were set
a1oat. but the facts are as above
stated, and there is not a more solid
wall on the continent than that Of the
Opera House.

BASE BALL.-By invitation OF the
members we witnessed yesterday
afternoon a practice game of Base
Ball, that noble and exh;!arating ex-
e%rcise, as played by TIE Resolute
Club, of this city. The grounds,
which are Immediately north of
Blackford's Grove, are admirably
adapted to the game, being spacious,
level and smooth. a shed has been
erected for the use Of the Club. aud
directly In rear OF the batter and
catcher is a stand for the accommo-
datior Of ladies and other spectators.
We kept an accurate history of the
game, which would, no doubt, prove
highly interesting to most of our
readers, but our space and want of
time to write it out in detail, pre-
cludes its publication
There were a few ladies and a large
number of gentlemen and boys
present as spectators.
ne game was not Il Ua1cI. Dut niHH-
ply for practice, and while many ex-
ceeding fine battings were done on
both sides, the fielding was rather in
different, very few balls being taken
on the fly, and there was an unusual
number of passed and mufed balls.
Most of the outs were on foul balls
taken on the fly by the catchers. \ few
puts were made on bases, and one or
two run out, while those who ex-
PRED on bases were innumerable.
But one home run was made
and that was by DR.. Thompson in
gallant style. There was a want Of
system. and decidedly toe many cap
tains. This evil will be easily over
come by practice and care.
We entertain the most sanguine
hopes of the future history Of this
Club, and expect them 70 achieve
much celebrity in the future.
The following Is a summary Of the
game. and we think it is entirely cor
rect.

RACE YEsTERDAY.-There was a
race over the Longworth Track yes
terday afternoon between two horses
brought here from Henderson. We
were unable to ascertain the ame of
the parties making up the race or the
names of the owners of the horses.
The horses were Sue Mundy"
and Rebel" mile heats, best three
in FIVE, for S100a side.
The race was won in the three
straight heats by Rebel" Time:
3:21, 3:124 and 3-12
There was but a small crowd pres
ent, and but little outside betting
done. The time is not the best on
record.

There are some peculiar combinations
of which the figure 9 is susceptible that
may not have occurred to good many Of
our readers. For examples take the tnul-
tplication table, and running the eye down
the column note that the combinations of
the figures compose according to fixed
rule thus, 9 times 3 are Is, and and
are.9 times 3 are 81, and and are 9,
etc. Suppose we go beyond the multipli-
cation table, and say times II. for sx-
ample are 1853; then you have and 3 are 8
and is 8, ana so on. Multiply, say 758
by 8, the result is 5922 and these four
figures aud the result is l9 two nihee) etc.
Tho numerals composing the number Of
the year 1868 are susceptible OF some conn
binations. For example, 1863 added to.
gether make Is, and aud l are g. Add
the FIRST two figures and they make 3, SO
do the last two. Set the first two under
the last two and add them. they mako 81; /;
8 times 8, together thoy make . subtract
the first two from the last two, the reeut
is 45, and and are 9 !, divide the 63 by
the le, and the result is 8 with temaindet
of 9 multiply all the four figures together
thus, lxsx6x3-and your result is l44-4
and 4 are and is 8; aud SO forth and sd
on. Odd, isn't it.
