A Live Home Journal-Not able
Change.

Last October, Hearth and Home pass
ed into the hands of Messrs. Orange
Judd & Co., Of 245 Broadway, New
York, tie well known publishers Of the
american Agricutt,uist-a journal long
without u rival in sterling value and
circulation. The marked improvements
then expected to appear in Hearth and
Home have been fully realized, ana it is
now one OF the choicest illustrated Jour,
nails anywhere issued for the family
circle adapted to both the Juvenile aud
adult people, and meeting the special
wants Of the housekeeper. Besides il
supplies very useful chapters for the
garden and farm, and an important
NEWS sheet, giving a valuable resume
ofthe news fora week, up to the moment
of issue. From $500 to $500 worth OF
very fine engravings beautify each
weekly number. We notice how still
further mark of enterprise Oh the par.
Of the publishers; they have secured the
exclusive editorial services of Edward
Eggleston, so widely aud fuvorably
known by his writings in Scribncr's
Nonthty, and many other Magazines aud
Journals, aud especially as the CHIEF
experimenting editor of the NeW York
indcpendent for some time past. With
this notable addition to the previously
large aud strong editorial force, HEARTH

command u prominent place in every
household, in city, village, and country

OF the Tribune at Iowa City, no less
than long years Of experience in news

paper, one as good we have no doubt as
they get pay for. If another is run
there the patronage must be divided, or
the people of tie county must pay
double what they now do for newspaper
service. they will give their present
paper one half the additional cost of the
new raper they will enable it to do
vastly better service for them than both

sure the people there they will b" very
sick of the conflict that must arise from
two papers in 50 small field before a

best interests-their peace and real
prosperity-they will give no aid or
encouragement to such a project. 1t

BASE BALL.-According to previous
arrangement, the Opposition B. b. c.,
of Upton, met the Cedars, of Clarence,
on the grounds of the latter, Friday p.
NJ, to play the first of a series Of three
games for bat and ball. The result was
the defeat of the Cedars by 6S to So
Why the Cedars were compelled to sui.
nit to such an overwhelming defeat as
this, we are utterly at a loss to under
stand. 1t is well known that hcrctoforc
they have been uniformly successful,
having won every game they have play
ed this season, and why they should
suffer themselves to be stripped of their
well earned laurcls by club making no
pretcnsions as players, and i'll the first
game that they have ever played with
any club, is really incomprehensible. 1t
is true that some of the Cedars were in
poor condition for playing, and one or
two were not of the first nine; but yet
we cannot think that a sufficient ex-
cuse to justify the result. We are in
clincd to think that the continued sue
cess Of our boys heretofore had caused
them to grow careless, and relying up
on their rather premature estimate OF
superiority, coupled with visitation
of bad luck which sometimes falls upon

PLANTATION, suffered the game to slip out
of their hands before they realized the
strength Of their opponents.
Upton has the material for strong
nine, and will, with little practice, be
a hard club to handle. Their batting
was extremely good for green club,as
will be seen from the number of home
runs made during the game; but in nc
other respect do we consider them tho
supcriors of our boys now, whatever
they may become withan equal amount
of practice. 1t is also worthy of notice
that the Opposition nine are gentlemen
who by their department won the res
poet of our citizens.
But whatever may have been the
cause, our boys were beaten; and
whether it occurred by chance or by the
superior playing OF the Opposition nine
we suppose the return game to be play
ed at Upton on Friday, 25th inst, viii
determine. In the mean time, let oui

manded of him payment of small ac-
count which he claimed was his due.

our man of muscle went for him in a
way that was anything but ''childlike
and bland," though our German friend
evidently thought it rather peculiar
determined to take the little amount
out of his corporal body then and there
Our much abused Teuton, however, re-
treated, and escaping to the Mayors
office, filed an information against the
offender and caused warrant to issue
for his arrest. Result not known.
