BEAUFORT s. c., October 10. 1861 send
by the Cosmopolitan Base Ball Club OF this
place. Tue game was played Friday afternoon
on the green in front Of the library building.
The ground is good one and l. good order.
The day was cool and pleasant. The players
began to assemble by 8 o'clock and the game
commenced at ha.f-past 8. Messrs. Wright
and Wallace were chosen captaius, and the
game was opened by Wright taking the bat.
Six innings were played, when the game was
called on account of the darkness, the score
standing Wright ten to Wallace nine.
The batting was most of it very good and
several fine "fy catches" were made. The
cause of the small score was the good fielding
rather than poor batting. Below send the
score of the respective sides.

Travels.

During the holidays Ferdinand Hunts
Ter, an unsophisticated German, living in
Muskegan, not far from Grand Rapids,
Mich, who had invested 81 in tickets of
the "Bankers and Merchants Grand Pre-
sentation Enterprise" of Clark, Webster
& Co., late of 81 Broadway, received in.
formation, by letter that he had drawn a
5000 prize. Quite elated with his sue
cess, MIR. Kuntser, who had some other
business in New York, resolved upon
coming on at once TO secure his prize, and,
placing his tickets and the Clark & Web
ster letters be had received in his pockets,
started on foot, bis means being somewhat
limited He walked to Toledo, distance
of about 800 miles, and being leg weary
and foot sore he took the cars for Cleveland
and Pittsburg. From thence Mr.. Hunts
Ter proceeded to Washington, D. G., as
he had been informed by Clark, Webster
& Co., that the drawing of their "Grand
Presentation enterprise" would take place
at the tional capital on certain day
On reaching Washington the upsophisti-
Gated Michigander made inquiries about
CLARK, Webster & Co., but could only
learn that the firm or some of its reputed
members bad frequently been arrested on
charges of fraud, and that there was to be
no drawing of the kind in Washington
Mr.. Kuntser, after brief delay, came to
New York, arriving here about week
since, and called at go Broadway, where
Clark, Webster Il Go. formerly held out,
only to find it closed up and nothing left
to indicate where the proprietors of the
presentation enterprise had gone. Mr..
Kuutsler then wendell his way to the
Mayors office and made known his griev-
ances, but was unable to obtain any re-
dress. Police headquarters was next
visited with equal success, aud from thence
Mr.. Kuntsler called at the Tombs one day
last week for relief. Yesterday he called
in court again and stated his case to JUS
tice Bowling, saying he had come nine
hundred miles to procure his prize and
met with obstacles and disappointments
at every step, at the same time pulling
from the skirt of his coat a large package

brought from home with care. After
hearing his story the magistrate, disposed
to aid the unfortunate dupe to the extent
of his power, sent a summons for Mr..
Elias, one of the reputed members of
Clark, Webster & Co., but Roundsman
Broker, on reaching 50 Broadway could
find neither Elias nor any one connected
with the Grand Presentation Enterprise
could be found. Kuntsler expended
about $100 in searching for prize under
difficulties, and will probably return to
Michigan sadder, wiser and decidedly
poorer man. Later in the day Mr..
Elias appeared in court and gave Mr..
Kuntsler SIS, this being double the
amount which he had paid for the lottery

Truth Stranger than Fiction.
AN ESTATE OF $150,000 FRAUDULENTLY
HELD FOR FIFTEEN YEARS.

From data before us, it appears that
Mrs. Geo. Holt and Mrs. J. W. Brigham,
of this city, with a brother residing at
Chicopee, Mass, are sole heirs to an es.
tate of 100000, left by brother who
died in Detroit, Michigan, twenty-six
years since, Jonas G. Brigham, the
brother referred to, son of DR.. Luther
Brigham, of Ohicopee, Mass, removed
to Detroit about the year 1888, and en-
barked in the dry goods business, -Four
years later he invented and procured
patent on certain machinery for generating
gas, aud entered into contract to light
the city, but in experimenting one even
ing an explosion occurred and be was in
stantly killed. At the time Of his death
he was betrothed to the daughter of
Colonel Brooks, wealthy gentleman, and
at the time customhouse officer. COL.
Brooks Immediately wrote Brigham's
father, informing him of the death of his
son, aud that, if he desired, he (Col.
Brooks) would act as administrator in set
ting up in the estate, and forward him
the proceeds-taking care to state, how
ever, that the amount would probably be
very trifing. He was accordingly made
administrator, and after little time had
passed wrote Mr.. Brigham that his son
left nothing but a gold watch and cloth
ing, which the administrator thought
should be given him for his trouble
Knowing nothing of his sons business af-
fairs, Mr.. Brigham accepted tho state
ment as true, gave the watch and cloth
ing, and never realized as much as one
penny from the estate. Thus matters
have rested for 26 years, none of the
heirs for moment dreaming of fraud and
unfairness until about three months since,
when Mrs. Holt and Mrs. Brigham receiv-
ed letter from the person who acted as
Judge of Probate at the time the estate
was settled. He wrote merely to inquire
their given names, Gas they might be
made parties in legal proceedings in re-
gard to property once belonging to Jonas
G. Brigham" Their suspicious were at
once aroused, and without replying to
the letter, a friend was sent to Detroit to
quietly search the records, and obtain an
abstract of all property standing in their
brothers. name. The investigation re-
vealed the fact that there ia standing up
on the records 10 the name of Jonas G.
Brigham one piece of property in the
heart of the city, now worth $4,000;
nine lots, also in the heart of the city,
now worth $4,000; eighty acres of land
a few miles out, worth at least $4,000 a
store house and lot, and three acres of
land tn Newport, and 160 acres of land in
Illinois. The total value Of the property
is about $4,000. Judge Jones, as at
torney for the heirs, has been in Detroit
for some days and has written them cor
'roborating the above. Col Brooks died
ten years since. The administration has
never been completed; and the gallant
Colonel and Judge of Probate have been

up recently. 1t seems that seven years
after Brigham's death an individual
came forward and presented what pur-
ported to be bond for a deed to the
property, now valued at $40, 600; but
the instrument lacked seal and witnesses,
and the Court has persistently refused to
issue an order confirming the title. The
bond is believed to be forgery, and the
property will undoubtedly be divided
among the three rightful heirs.--Minne

Sergeant Bates called upon the Presi.
dent to-day to perform what he considered
very agreeable duty. That duty, he
said, was to deliver to the President the
kind message for the Chief Magistrate Of
the nation which he had received in the
swamps and in the woods along the
stretches of pine forest through which his
route now and then. lay, at the lonely
farmhouses and in the villages, cities aud
towns. "Tell the President" said gray
haired man, "that we are praying for him /"
"Say to him. said hundreds, "God bless
him." Many, very many begged the
Sergeant to tell the President that their
hope was that God would bless Andrew
johnson in his efforts to secure their
rights in the old Union. DAT Richmond,
Va.," continued the Sergeant, "a fine
looking old lady, working her passage
through the crowd, came to me as I was
making my way out of the city, and with
the tears coursiDg her cheeks, said, as she
took my hand, Tell Andrew johnson
that he has the earnest prayers of the ma
irons of Virginia for his welfare and hap
piness. Gray haired men, trembling with
