Ottawa claims at least an equal division with
Springfield of the honors enuring from the noble
generosity Of one of her citizens whom Ottawa
raised and educated. Boys raised and educated
at..Ottawa seldom leave wheu they come of age in
hopes of finding better location, but when they
do leave, they are heard from every now and then
in this wise : tG i- tn
Springfield has been enlivened the past week
with unusually pleasant excitement. On We'd
nesday evening Mr.. and Mrs Goodell threw open
to the public their magnificent residence with
its superb surroundings in aid of most praise.
worthy institution, the Home of the Friendless.
Under the active and hearty direction of the lady
managers of that institution, Mrs. VIM NJ SPRING
er, Mrs. John A. Chestnut, Mrs. James c. Conk.
ling Mrs. Jacob Bum, Miss Eastman and 9TH
ers, sumptous entertainments were prepared and
well appreciated by an assemblage comprising
the beauty, talent and fashion of the city. The
palatial residence was lighted from foundation to
turret, and presented abeautifulappearance. The
grounds were ablaze with Chinese lanterns, and
the several hot.houscs. from whence came fra
GRANGE from rare exotics, were resplendant with
Jets of artificial light. All these were excclled
in beauty by appetizing comforts. A finer sup
per, including fruits of uncommon excellence,
was never gotten up in this region. Over one
thousand dollars were realized from this very pub
lic-spirited enterprise, to make glad the hearts
orphans in the Home. Truly, it is more blessed
in such cause, to give than to receive.--Cor
St Louis Republican.

The second game of home and home match
between the first nine of. the Illinois Base Ball
! club of Morris, andthe second nine of the Shab-
bona club of this city, came off last Friday, Sep
tember 18th, on the grounds of the latter, result
ing in victory by eight tallies to the Illinois
| club. The ;hird match will be played at Morris.
probably the latter part OF next week, when the
Shabbona hope, by more careful and better
played game, TO preserve the well earned title of
champions OF this Congressional district.
The play of the Shabbona was not up to their
usual mark, and showed want of practice. while
that of the Illinois showed much improvement
over their last game. Ii.t ( IA
Ihe Shabbona went to bat first, and by careful
piayihS scored the unusual number of fourteen
runs, which, with the confident expectation Of
winning the game, led them to suppose that thew
had sure thing and that a few muff PLAYS would
make no ditfernce in the general result. This
however. proved disastrous in the end, as the
Illinois, more by hard hitting than by fine field.
ng drew so far ahead that finally nothing bu.
hhe display OF their usual game in the last few
innings gave the Shabbonas much more than
creditabe score.
The game was umpired by Mr. A. Kinzie, of
the Atlantic B. B. club of Chicago, who conduct
ed the game in an impartial and creditable man.
ner showing his knowledge of the fine points of
the game
As Mr.. kinzie was here on visit, having no
knowledge of any match game of ball, and being
solicited by both clubs to act Is umpire. the re.
marks OF "Civis,' in the Ottawa Rp,tJlican. are
ungentemanly and without the sanction of the
ohaooona club, who express themselves highly
satisfied with the manner in which the game was
conducted. t.@1
'Civlss' abilities for umpiring, we should
Judge, are quite limited, or he would not think
OF c9Ittng balls 80 early in the game. Undoubted.
~ he must be sport who supports small
family with few at the breast, by investing his
stamps In the uncertainties of ball playing, horse
racing or "bucking the tiger" His expectations
were undoubtedly set quite high it is great
pity that he wa. disappointed. If he will accom-.
pany the Shabbona boys to Morris on the occa.
SION OF their final match, they will assure him
that they will go in to win, will play with all
their accustomed vim, and give him a chance to
regain his lost money.
Rising and Hull both played well behind, and
had the basemen succeeded in holding their balls
much better score would have been shown. .-

ris nine, while Forbes of the Shabbona's took the
most honor, by his fine fielding, seeming to be
omnipresent. Nash as pitcher sent balls wild at
arst, but soon settled down to a more careful
play.
The Shabbona are practicing for their final
game, and We trust that for the honor of the
club and town they will come off victorious. Fl

Hot TERM.-The weather for the past week
or ten days has been something extraordinary for
the season in this quarter. The heat has been
quite oppressve-equal to the hot term Of the
middle of July, thermometer daily reaching IS to
30 in the shade. The heat is accompanied with
drought that is damaging to late vegetables !;
we learn from the physicians, that it is also ac-
companied with good deal of sickness, though
not Of a particularly dangerous or malignant
type.
