TO get married; the man thirty FIVE years cid,
and the girl five, years: this makes the nan
seven times as old as the girl, and theN live
together until the girl is ton Years, old. this
makes the man forty yeass old, and -four times
as Old as the girl; and if they still live to
gethcr Until she is fifteen, the man would be
forty FIVE; this makes the man three times
as old, aud if they still live on till the girl is
thirty years old, this makes the man sixty,

The TEMPERANCE QUESTION IN MAssACHU-
sLTTs-Wendell Phillips inaugurated last
SUNDAY a series of Sunday evening lectures,
to be delivered in Boston under the auspices of
the Sons of Temperance. People who are pre-
nared to admit his new doctrine of primary al
ieoiance to the State and not to the nation,
will find no difficulty in accepting his conclu-
sions. Perhaps it is unjust to Calhoun to call
this doctrine new, but we mean simply that it
is new for Mr.. Phillips. The Boston Journal
reports his peroration as follows:
He closed by abiding to the duty of temper
ance men in this emergency. They ought to
organize temperance party and nominate
their own men, voting for none else. They
gained nothing by remaining in the Republic
can party That party, however, could not af-
ford to lose them, if they would only act in
earnest. They would win the respect of all if
they would only stand by their principles at
the ballot-box. That was the test of their.
earnestness. They Were confronted by Sc !,
cret organization, which went into Republican
caucuses Ii parties were nominated to suit
them it was we'll and good, but if prohibito-
~ man was nominated, they would bolt and
Join the Democratic party-a mean, skulking,
dark-lantern undertaking. The Republican
party was broken up after its Convention at
Worcester 1t undertook to tighten the ship
by throwing overheard the temperance ques-
ton, and ignominiOusly left the matter to be
settled in the Senatorial and Representative
caucuses to be held. He contended that no
man had right to sacrifice the temperance
cause through loyalty to party. His first duty
was to the Commonwealth; not to the Union,
nor to the South, nor to the negro. He hoped
that the temperance men would have pluck
enough to establish themselves. They might
be in a minority; but they should remember
that it was brains and courage which ruled

The Game for the Silver Hall and the

The game OF base ball for the silver ball and
the championship between the Eon Club of
this city, the holders of the ball, and the Bow
dom Club of Brunswick came off Yesterday
afternoon, on the grounds near the Arsenal.
The weather was fine but there was great
deal of wind, blowing dead against the strikers.
There was very large attendance, many la
dies being present Notwithstanding the cold
wind. Play was called at quarter of two
o'clock by John s. Mathews of the Athletic
Club, Umpire.
The Eons won the toss and sent the Bow
dOins to the bat. Whitman led off and made
his run. Baker also made his run when
they were put out.
The Eons then took the bat, scoring 3 on the
LIST innings.
On the I'd innings the Bowdoins scored 9
and the Eons L.
and the Eons 4.
The 4th innings was repetition of the 3d.
On the 9Th innings the Bowdoins were hand
somely choked, the Cons gaining on the
score. ga 81
On the 9th innings both clubs added to
their score.
The 9TH innings gave the Bowdoins and
the Eons g. 90
On the 9Th innings the Bowdoins scored 8
and the Eons s.
The game now stood SO for the Bowdoins to
80 for the Eons, and the decisive inning was to
be played. The Bowdoins only scored l, and
the Eons took the bat for the last time They
succeeded in scoring 8, when they were hand
somely disposed of with two men on the bases
Keazar going out on the first This ended the
game, the score standing 80 for the Bowdoins
and &c for the Eons.

Woodstock (Vt) Standard that meeting of
the stockholders OF the Woodstock railroad
was held in that village last week, at which it
was unanimously resolved to instruct the board
OF directors to contract Immediately for the

ers. The subscription now amounts to nearly
$23O,OOO. Hosea Doton has been elected en-
gineer, and the route, which is very favorable
has been already located to White River

construction may be commenced before winter
sets In. 1t is understood that this road will he
continued to Rutland, where it will connect
with the Western Vermont railway, which in
turn connects with the New York Central at
Troy. AT White River junction the Wood

woodstock valley to Boston, Portsmouth to
Portland. Vermont has tried north and
south lines long enough, and has found them
