BASE BALL.-We have this week re-
ceived two communications signed Spec
tator" and observer" in reply to
the report of the match game played
at Springfield and published three weeks
since. There is nothing in either that
we should decline to publish, but of
course we haven't the room, las they would
make nearly column each. We do not
see that any of the charges in Report
.er are denied, but they twit back on the
Abenaqui Club, that it does not become
them to make such charges, when they
had previously played Clowns" in their
club, in less than thirty days after he
had been member in full feather of the
Burnside Club, at Brattleboro. The
Abenaqui are also twitted of hiring
their pitcher, Nichols, from Springfield,
Mass" They are also referred to " Sec.
4, page Is, of Handy's Base Ball Play
er's Book of reference for 1868" and
charge the Abenaqui with having vo-
ted down this book - also to "Sec. 2,
page 26," of the same book. "observ-
er" closes with challenge as follows:
s'As the Abenaquis have had good
deal to say about picked mines, / will
state that if they would like to play a
picked nine from Bellows Falls, the
Springfield boys are ready toplay at any
time, and if they do not beat the Bellows
Falls nine, t,co to one, will pay their bills
up and back"
There, we have given more space to
this than we meant to and got most of
the whole ten pages of Manuscript into
the above at that. If this don't use up
the Abenaqui Club, we will have them
assembled and read both manuscripts to
them ourselvesi

BANK RoBBERY.-On Saturday night
last, the safe of the first national Bank of
Bennington was broke into by burglars
and about $4,000 stolen. The bank is To-
Gated in private house, their new bank
building not being finished. 1t appears
also that the burglars did not succeed
in picking the second lock, otherwise
they would have got more. A portion
of the loss falls upon individuals who
had deposited bonds for safe keeping.
The loss is stated as follows. Bank
$4,000, Z. A. Cobb Cashier $500 !;
l.. Chandler, about $4,000.

SPRINGFIELD.-A Grant and Colfax
club was formed in Springfield on Satur-
day last. The officers are to be chosen
at future meeting. At the caucus to
elect delegates to the District Conven-
ton, Col. H. w. Floyd was chairman
and r. M. Colburn, secretary. The fol-
lowing were chosen delegates and were
present at the convention at White Riv-
er Junction on Tuesday; J. A. H. Ellis,
F. w. Porter, James r. Walker, G. A.
Forbush.
There was trial of the American
Fire Extinguisher" ON Saturday last in
Springfield, by Messrs. E. N. Dean of
Perkinsville, and G. G. Boynton of
Springfield. A small shanty was built
and placed in the street, literally sup
piled with fuel and set on fire. The fire
was very quickly extinguished. The
Shanty was a humbug, but the extin-
guishers are not. They work most ad-
mirably.
The lectures on Geology by Prof. Gun
ming, are meeting with good degree Of
success. To better accommodate the
public, Monday evenings are substituted
for Tuesday. We will not attempt re-
port, as nothing short of the whole of
of each lecture would do them justice.
1t bids fair to be the most instructive
course of lectures ever delivered in
Springfield. Professor G. is thoroughly
versant in everything pertaining to his
subjects an undemonstrative, but an
easy, eloquent and instructive speaker,
and our word for it is you hear him once
and you will not be satisfied without
hearing him again.

DEATH OF REV. Mr.. BRAMBLEE.--
Rev. j. w. Bramblee, pastor of the
Methodist Church of this village, died at
the parsonage on Monday morning last
at about 3 o'clock. Mr.. Bramblee came
to this place last spring from Long Is
land, hoping the change of location
might prove beneficial to his health, and
for the most of the time preached one
sermon day, on Sundays, up to within
three weeks of his death, and though he
had expressed doubts of his case, it is
not probable that he gave up all hope
till about six o'clock Sunday evening"
only nine hours before his death-when
he inquired of his wife as to what the
doctor thought Of his living, saying that
he desired to know the truth, and that it
would not affect him, whatever the opin-
ion might be. Very naturally too much
overcome, his wife was unable to answer,
and turning he asked the same question
of Mrs. C. B. Eddy who was present, and
who finally informed him that the doctor
did not think that he could live till morn
ing. True to what he had said, he was
entirely unmoved and in the most calm
and deliberate manner proceeded to make
arrangements for his funeral, and send
ing messages to various friends. He
said he had thought his ministry was not
done, but God knew best. Turning to
his wife and calling her by name, and to
the children, he expressed that it was
hard to leave and part with them, and
babe them most affectionate farewell.
OF course it is not for us to minutely de-
scribe this scene. He left special mes
sage of thanks to be conveyed in some
manner to the people of this village,
who he said had been so kind to him
during his brief invalid life among them,
and this article is intended to thus con-
vey that message. He was a graduate
of Middletown College, Ct, and by his
directions his funeral was held in that
place, Wednesday afternoon of this
week. with Masonic honors, and sermon
preached by the President, (who had
married him) of that college. Services
we're held, however, at the Methodist
Church in this place on Tuesday after
noon, and remarks made by Revs. Little
of Cavendish, A. L. Pratt of Windsor,
W. H. Wight of Brattleboro, and Eos
ter CUniversalist) of Chester we believe.
His remains were taken to Middletown
Wednesday morning. His disease was
consumption, though We believe not of
that kind which consume the lungs. lie
was nearly thirty-four years of age,
leaves a wife and two children, and had
won the regard and affection of all in
this place with whom he had become ac-
quainted.
