Com WEATHER IN NoKru.-A casual glance
at cur telegraph dispatches will satisfy the reader that
the people of the North in the enjoyment Of
the coolest season that they have experienced for
many years Al their rivers are frozen and the trains
on the railroads blocked by snow. It would appear
that locomoton of all kinds is suspended and business
seriously impcdcd. Although snow has fallen to the
depth of one foot in Washington City, it does not
seem to have Lad any cooling effect upon the Radical
Congress in their designs upon the conquered terri
tories.' On the contrary the cold weather to
have had bracns effect upon their system polite,
and impeIled them to renewed efforts in their terrific
l:aIisltiOn scheme.

The Silver Ball.

Ihls splendid weather is very refreshing to
all lovers of out door sports and especially to
Ball Players, as it is putting the ground into
the finest possible condition for playing, The
principal interest, centers in the question who
shall hold the champions ball. All ball play
ers are in ecstacies about the prospects of the
coming summer and the club that leads in the
tournament has got to work hard for the
position. Every thing centers round the ball.
The fact that the Eon club who have held the
championship for two years were unable to
make better score than q to 10 against the
Cushnocs of Augusta, who had only some
three months practice, starts the excitement.
Add to this that the Androscoggins of Lewis
ton, who were the best fielders in the State,
last summer, are hard at work practicng at
the bat, with the knowledge also that the Kent's
Hill club beat the Cushnocs by SCORE of al
most two to one after their match with tie
Eons, and one can see how close the contest
will be. Besides the old clubs there will be
several new ones in the field, though we have
heard no names as yet. All the old clubs have
been recruiting their ranks and will bring
stronger mines into the field than ever; this is
especially true of the Atlantic club which now
claims some of the best players in tho city.
The Eon club lose two of last years nine, and
the Cushnocs lose their first base whether
this will alter their relative strength or not re-
mains to be proved. .et..t-rf...t
This Silver Ball which 10 to be the emblem
of championship, is of solid silver nine inches
in circumference with the coat OF arms of the
State on one quarter and an engraved ball

name of the winning Club. A full history Of

The real friends of temperance seek the best
methods for its promotion; and whoever can
shed ray of light on the subject one way or

The sole object of the meeting is to promote
