STRAwBERRIEs.-The present season
has been remarkable one for straw
berries, and we have had some rich ex-
periences in eating this much desired
fruit, and We doubt not that the people
of Cedar Falls generally could say the
same. Some of the patches will yield
bushels this season-we cannot say
how many, but would be safe in saying
several. +. r. Sawyer has a very large
bed of the "Wilson" berries, which for
evenness in size cannot be beaten any
where, and having had the pleasure OF
trying them we can vouch for the taste.
We also acknowledge the receipt of a

BASE BALL.-A delegation of the
picked players of the Waterloo Club
came up yesterday and challenged our
boys to friendly game. To accommo-
date and not disappoint them after
coming so far for that purpose, our
boys rushed around and succeeded, after
much hard work, in collecting enough
of the club together to play them a
short game towards evening. The Wa
terloo club, as result, were victorious
But we hope 1t will not be considered
by them very important victory,
when they are informed that many of
the best players of our clab were not
present, and those who did turn out
were fatigued by the other exercises of
the day. This will not do. A chal-
lenge should be made by the Cedar
Falls club, that they may have chance
to vindicate themselves. We know
they can.

A SUBSTANTIAL FIRM.-We call the
attention of our readers to the new adj
vertisement of Campbell & Mills, ap.
pearing in our columns this week.
Besides dealing specially in crockcry
wares, they are agents for all kinds OF
farming implements, and some of the
latest improvements yet introduced
into this market. Farmers cannot do
better than to give them call. They
are one of the best firms to deal with,
and always strive to give good satisfac-
ton. Such men deserve to be well
patronized.

GENERAL BAKER.-The citizens OF
Cedar Falls, who know how to appre-
ciate the important services rendered
the State by Adjutant General Baker,
were glad to welcome him for the first
time to our city. A ride through and
around our city limits and stroll
through the beautiful strawberry beds
of =. M. Overman, convinced him that
what had been said OF the enterprise
and public spirit of our citizens was
raaeifestly true. He expressed himself
as highly pleased with the people,
grewth, prospects and appearance OF
Cedar Falls. We affirm what we know
to be true that a bigger hearted man
than Gen. Baker breathes not In Iowa,
and we express the wishes of the peo-
pie of this community when wo hope
that his first visit may not be his last
to Cedar Falls

CROP PRosPECTs.-We have con-
versed with several of the farmers the
past week, and all inform us that pros
poets for good crops are excellent. The
warm weather of the past two weeks is
as favorable as we could wish for.
Since the weather has become settled,
and violent rain storms have ceased to
be the order of the day, fears of fail
ure in crops are not thought of.
The only complaints we hear of, are
the ravagcs of the potato bug, which
seems to be general throughout the
state. Much injury has already been
done to the potato plants by the bugs
in this vicinity, and all representatives.
thus far have proven unavalling.

BASE BALL.-The match game be-
tween the married and single men,
was played on the Base Ball grounds
yesterday week. We were only able
last week to give the total result which
showed that the married men were
beaten.
The playing was good on both sides
and was witnessed with much interest
by large number of the citizens. The
married men lost one man at the COM
mencemcnt of the game, giving the
single men an advantage in that re-
spect. The following will show the
scoring:

It appears some person in Paris, who
evidently has not cut his eye teeth yet,
telegraphed In hot haste, per Atlantic
Cable, the UNQUALIFIED FALsEHooD
that tire first prize had been awarded
the Woods Mower at the Paris Expo
sition, and on the strength of this, the
country is flooded with garbled and
manufactured statements of the alleged
trial and victory.
Now, the last mail brings all the
facts of the case, which are simply that
in May last a Preliminary Skirmish
trial was held near Paris, and that the
Mccormick and Woods Mowers
eclIpsed all the others, some twenty
two i'm number, but that the real trial
was POSTPONED TILL JULY. Reliable
correspondents advise us that nine
tenths of the witnesses Of the first trial
were confident THAT the Mccormick
would carry off the prizes I'm July.
Now, as the party who "got up the
statement falsificd about the main
thing tire uward,-h is fair to infer
that his account of the details Is equally
rs false. .-. s--e @
We have waited for the manufacture
ers of tire Wood machines to honorably
retract the false report about the prizes,
so industreously circulated, but, as they
do not, we can only attempt to make
this refutation as public as the false
hood in circulation
Jurors of such ga xpositien-men,
no doubt. who represent the agriculsu-
ral interests OF the world, are not I'm
tire habit of jumping at conclusions
like this flash-in-the-pa correspondent
who wrote and telegraphed from Paris.
The trial In July, no doubt, will be
full, searching, and exhaustive, and,
until then, we would advise the manu-
fncturers of the Wood Mowers to await,
as patiently as they can, the result, and
not make themselves again the laugai-
ing-stock of the community, IS they
have done i'm this ridiculous instance.
Wait until July, gentlemen; and don't
halloo before you are out OF the woods.
