er ut thought of the events this after
noon in the base ball field. Today is
the great day for the knights of the Bat,
and tho contest this afternoon between
the Mears Club, of Steubenville,
and the Battles of this city will excite
the most lively interest among the
lovers of the game. a delightful reun-

have seen the Wheeling boys in their
recent games, can doubt that they will
prove dangerous foes us they are

ceremony previous to the game, in
which the Battles will be specially in.

My wife, from a six years. previous

prejudice vanished, admiration sue

BOARD OF REa1sTRAT1oN.-The Board
met yesterday morning In the room Of
the Police Court, as on the day preyi-
Gus. A number of new applications
for registration were received, and about
the usual number of transfers, though
as no record of these is kept by the
Clerk of the Board, 1t is impossible to
give the exact figures. The case OF the
State Us. William Taylor, charged with
leaving to avoid the draft, occupied the
greater part of the forenoon, and por-
ton of the afternoon. AS the case in
wolves some points of interest, we give
It's main features. The specification
was that VIM. Taylor, at or about the
close of the year 1868, left the State of
West Virginia and went beyond
the jurisdiction of the United States
and into the province of Canada, and
there remained for one year and more,
fore the purpose of evading the draft,
The object of the defence was to estab-
lish that William Taylor In the year
1858 Chen 10 years of age) WAS severity
afflicted with the st. Vitue's dance.
That in 1862 and '63 the defendant was
threatened with with a return of the
disease, from which he had nearly re-
covered, and on the advice Of his
friends departed for Canada hoping
thereby TO benefit his health. And
further, that at the time of his trip
to Canada he was unfit for military
service, and was in no wise actuated
by desire to escape tho draft. Injus-
tice to the party accused, 1t may be said
that the Board gave this case most
thorough and searching investigation
and at its consclusion dismissed the
charge.
Previous to this suit, it was the opin-
ion of many in our city that tho defen-
dant had other motives in view than
the benefit of his health, though how
far the action of the Board may change
this sentiment, we are unable to say.
On entering upon this case, Jonas
Crumbacker. witness summoned in
behalf OF the State, failed to make
his appearance, and during the trial it
transpired that tho witness had absent
ed himself willfully and in contempt
of the Board. A writ was Immediately
issued ordering Crumbacker to appear
and show cause why he should not be
fined for such contempt. Upon return
OF the writ at 2 O'Clock p. NJ, Crum-
hacker was severely reproved for his
negligence, which appeared to be the
cause OF his uon-appearance, and re-
leased. AT the close OF the afternoon
session, the Board adjourned sine die.
