FIRE---DEsTRUcTIoN OF GIBBEs'
HALL.-This building, the very first
one erected in Columbia, after the
destruction of the city, was entirely
consumed last night. About half
past 9 o'clock, smoke was observed
issuing from the second story win
dows, and in few minutes, the en-
tire edifice was in flames. The lower
story was used rs store, and con-
tained q quantity of bacon, liquors
and other infiammable material. The
upper story was hall, and had been
occupied by the courts, as we'll as for
exhibitions, ever since its erection.
The building and stock of goods
were valued at fully $9,0o0-insured
for about one-half. The fremen we're
promptly on the spot, and worked
faithfully. The cause of the fire is
unknown, as it is said there had been
no fire about the premises in two
days. A file of soldiers from the
garrison assisted materially in re-
moving articles from the burning
building.

the countenances of the eaters as they brought

Tho Base BALL Tournament.
CUsHNoCs va. FoNs. 81


The tournament, which had been suspended
since Thursday, on account of the rain was re-
sumed yesterday afternoon. The Androscog-
gin nine, owing to pressing engagements of
some of their players, had withdrawn from the
contest. 1t remained for the winning clubs in
the two previous matches to play the closing
game for the championship. The crowd Of
spectators was fully as great as on Thursday,
and suppressed excitement was very noticea-
BILE even before the game began. Owing to
some delay in the arrangement, it was quar-
ter past when the Umpire, Mr.. Dennison, of
the Lowell Club, Boston, gave the word
"Play!"
+ The Eons went first to the bat, but went to
the field presently with but one tally. The
Cushnocs did considerably better. Deering
took his first base on called balls, got to the
second on passed ball, and was put out on
the third by a ball from the catcher. Five
men got home in succession, before Davis,
short stop, caught the ball from Ladd's bat and
Immediately after felded it to the first base
before Little could get there.
At the close Of the second innings the scores
. stood even; in the third the Eons took the
lead and kept it to the close Of the game. The
fifth inning added round to the Cushnoc
score, and on going to the bat for the sixth the
Augusta boys found themselves Is runs be-
hind. Robinson struck the ball over the
pitchers head, into Dayis's hands, on the Sec
ond base Four men got home, before Alden
was caught out by McCobb on the first base,
and ten more Tailed before McCobb took
another fly from Delano's bat Up to this
time no less than eight bases had been taken
by the Cushnocs ON called balls The scores
stood 2S to a. rRalAA r.
During their seventh inning the Cushnocs
increased their score to 30, at which point il
stood; in the last two innings they were
ehoked. The Eons gradually increased theil
count to 4S, winning the game and the silver
emblem of the championship. IA"
The following is the score:

Old Bowdoin never looked better than to-

anxious to welcome her sons to these ella ssic
grounds. Only graduate can appreciate the
feelings which these annual visits to alma ma

compensate for however long pilgrimage he

Last evening DR.. Harris preached his first
Baccalaureate, in DIR. Adams church. He
took for his text the 9th verse of the Sd chap
ter of Acts: "Then Peter said, silver and gold
have l none, but such as have give 1 thee"
his general subject being the influence man
gives to the world just what he actually has to
give, not in silver and gold, bus in the richer
stores of mind and soul. The three clements of
character which produce this influence
are sincerity, goodness and love. Dis
stimulation is impossible; the true fcharac-
ter of the man will be exposed If dissimula-
ton were possible, the mind would become
weak and imperative, on account of employ
ing certain forces with which to keep the 9th
ers in check. Enthusiasm springs from love,
and enthusiasm is the soul of every action
There can be no love in any thing that is evil
