BASE BALL YEsTERDAY.-Although
slight dash of rain about noon threat
ened disappointment to those who had
anticipated the pleasure Of witnessing
the game between the Battles and the
Columbias, the sunshine and rain soon
effected a compromise and the game
was played as designed. The chal-
lenRe was from the Columbus, for a
single game, and had it resulted other
wise the Battles had doubtless found
another competitor to question their
right to the championship. AS 1t was,
their friends had cause during the
closely played game to be somewhat
solicItous of their well earned reputa-
tation. Although the Battles could not
feel unconscious of the unavoidable
absence of two first-class players, Mr..
whitman their catcher and Mr.. WIN
Brady the: first baseman, the play
of Messrs. Acheson and johnson was
very creditable, standing fair COM
parison with the regular nine. From
what we saw of the game, the general
play of the Battles was better than that
of the second game in their last match.
The Columbias certainly deserve a
word of commendation, their playing
being really frst-class. Their play
surprised many who knew but little OF
them, and at one stage of the game bid
fair to win them a victory. The game
was called at the close of the eighth in
ming, on account of the darkness.

WHEN the Plantation Bitters were
first made known to the American peo-
pie, some seven years ago, it was sup
posed they were an entirely new thing,
and had never before been used. So
far as their general use in the United
States is concerned, this may be true.
It is also true that the same Bitters
were made and sold in the Island of st.
Thomas over forty years ago, as any
old planter, merchant or sea captain
doing business with the Vest Indies
will tell you. 1t is distinctly within
my recollection that on the return OF
my father, (who was a sea captain, and
doing an extensive trade in the tropics
he would invariably have the. Bltters
among the ships stores, and our family
sideboard was never without them.
For any sickness, it matters not how
severe or tritiing, the decanter OF these
Bitters, by different name, was al
ways resorted to as sovereign rem
edy.

-Perceiving in the Register of yester-

think that in justice to the canine spe-

middle of the street, basking in the
beautiful sunshine. as any sensible
dorg should do. He perceived ve-

pedestals and took himself out OF the
way of threatened danger,-Sensible
dor9.
BY SO eleyating himself he was moved
into such a position as to espy a de-

parts unknown, to eat at leisure and be
satisfied. Sensible dorg-much If not

"A LARGE APP1E.-If the tree which
stood, in the center of the garden, had
been loaded with such apples as the one
brought into our Office, yesterday morn
ing, Eve had certainly been partially
excusable for a desire to taste them.
The specimen to which we alIude, was
brought US by Capt. Milhous, and is
OF the Waldower variety, measuring
fourteen and one-half inches in cir
conference, and weighing seventeen and
one'hGV ounces. It is only one of "a
number raised by Capt. Milhous, on
his farm a short distance below Nc
Connellsville, Ohio, where he has fine
orchards of fruit. Members of the
First W. Virginia Infantry, and many
others, remember the Captain as an
efficient officer of that regiment, who
was stationed at this post for a year,

CITY OF WHEELING VS.. JOHN GAL
THER.-O5stTucting Ac Street Cars
This case, arising from the collision
which took place on the Island, last
Saturday, between street car and an
omnibus, was called at O'Clock, yes
terday, in the Police Court. AS quite q
number of witnesses had been sum.
moned, and counsel appeared on each
side, the case promised to be one OF
considerable interest. Upon prelimi-
nary investigation. however, the Judge
ordered the dismissal OF the suit, on the
ground that the case did not come un-
der the ordinance made and provided
for the protection of the street cars
The suit was accordingly dismissed at
the cost of the railway company. tF
