Base Ball Players" in solemn council,
have agreed to abolish the system of

the various clubs, with tears in their
eyes, voted to melt up the silver ball,

This will be good news to many Of

them. Base Ball here last summer
was good enough as a manly and

A HORRIBLE DREAM REALIZED.
Our readers will recollect the account
which we published the other day Of
the terrible death of Mr.. Ehrier, Of
this county, who was crushed by
rock, while mining near Mineral
Point We learn from the Mineral
Point Tribune that Mr.. Ehrler had a
dream the night before the accident,
amounting to presentiment of what
followed. He was so impressed in bis
dream with the idea that he was be-.
ing crushed with a rock, that be got
out of bed while yet asleep and called
for some one to remove the rock,
which was crushing the life out Of
him. He related this dream to his
wife on being reused from his sleep.
She tried to prevail on him not to go
to the diggings that day, but he re-
marked that it was only dream, and,
promising to be careful, went to his
work, aud his dream was realized

NOTICE TO THE RELATIVES OF A

who belonged to Louisiana regi-
ment (the number of which is
not known), who was wounded at
the battle Of Perryville, in Ken
lucky, died at the residence of Cap

county, in that State. His remains
were inferred near Captain Cogars'
residence. Captain Cogars has his
watch, the remainder Of his effects
having been burned with Captain
Cogars' residence. Any information

u DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The Demo
cratic Mass Meeting held ia our city
on Saturday last, was numerously at.
tended. Three of the very best
speechers ever delivered in any politi
cal campaign, we're made by Messrs
J. 0. Fuqua, A. 5. Heron, and Il
w. Robertson. Each of these gen.
tlemen exerted and acquitted them.
selves in manner peculiarly suited
to the grave and important issues OF
the hour. In addition TO the whites,
there was large number Of the freed
men present, to whom words of sober
earnestnes and truth were addressed
which were listened to with marked
attention, and appeared to fall with
deep, and, as we hope, abiding effect
upon their minds. If there could be
anything to arouse the freedmen to a
Just and proper sense Of the present
and future Importance to themselves
and their race Of voting so as to de-
feat the proposed State Constitution
and with it those Radical vampires
who are seeking office, under it, the
speeches which they listened to on
Saturday were certainly calculated to
effect such an object.
The meeting took no action with
reference to placing in nomination a
conservative ticket, preferring to let
that matter lie over for a while lon
ger. We are still of the opinion, for
reasons already given, that the
sooner a nomination of that sort is
entered into, the better. Should
the election result in favor Of the
adoption of the Constitution, those
whoare running upon the Radical
ticket may be elected in spite Of any
internal discussions, among them,
even il they receive but very small
vote; unless there is conservative
ticket upon which all conservatives
can unite, and to the support of
which enough might be won over
from the ranks Of the opposition to
help and insure its choice.

TWO ROSEBUDS.

The leaves of this old book enclose
The remnants of q withered rose
That once was whittier than the SHOWS,
1t nestled in maiden's hair,
The choicest gem that she could wear,
So young, so happy, and Sc fair.
|, in loving, childish way,
Did cherish it. and fondly lay
1t where it still is sweet to-day;
That it should sanctify the place,
In memory frightened by the grace
That fingered on my playmate's face;
And kindle in my heart a glow
That years to come should seldom know
At memory Of the long ago!
But dreamed not that future year
Should see another rosebud near.
The one that long had slumbere here,
Yet now place them side by side;
One with the stain Of years il dyed;
From one the dew is scarcely dried.
She wore one in her childhood's mirth:
And one to-day, when from her hearth
They bore her to the silent earth.
