That for games where a share

Base Ball is its name
And shall not deny
In regard to the game
What that name might imply,
But we smiled as we SAW the ball coming,
And we "took it,n when II came nigh.
1t was August the third.
And quite soft was tho SHES;
And it might be inferred
That the ball was likewisc

Which was sufffull of runs with no outs,

And they went for glass of-warm tea.

But the scote book was laid

In the game so skillfully won.
In the game, which was long,
We made runs hinety-fOur,
Which was coming it strong,
Yet we might have made more;

Nine "goose eggs" completing their score.

A Thoughtful observer on women's
rights comes to their defense very effec-
lively as follows: II have seen women so
delicate that they were afraid to ride for
fear Of the horse running away, afraid to
walk for fear the dew might fall, afraid
to sail for fear the boat might upset; but
| never saw one afraid to be married, =,
which is more riskful than all Tie others

what they are best qualified, and star
them fairly in the track in which they arr

FIRE IN HYDEvILLE.-On the morn
ing of the 4th inst, at about o'clock, the
large slate mill occupied by E. A. Bill
lings, of Troy, N. Y, was discovered to
be on fire, and before 10 O'Clock it was in
ashes. The building was three stories
high, $50 feet long, and 80 feet wide,
owned by the Hyde Brothers, and leased
TO Mr.. Billings for term which has yet
about five years to run. The building
was old, and the insurance of $1,000 will
cover the loss. The machinery was in
sured for $4,000, which will not cover
the cost by some $4,000. The stock in
the mill is valued at about $4,000; in
sured $4,000. How the fire caught is not
explained. Several of the workmen were
in the mill and had commenced opera.
tions, when suddenly volumes of smoke
alarmed them, and in few minutes all
was ablaze. There was considerable lum'
Der in the bedroom, and straw in the
packing-room, and in less than half an
hour the flames had extended the whole
length of the building. A small portion
of the stock, but none of the machinery,
was saved. In attempting to detach 6
main betting of the machinery, Mr.. Hen
ry Parkhurst caught his right foot in 6
wheel, but, by the giving way of his boot,
escaped with no other injury than Sc
we're bruise and sprain. Many workmer
are thrown out of employment by thi
calamity, and Mr.. Billings must lose ex
tensively by the unavoidable interruption
to his business.

DISMISSAL OF REV. Mr.. GROUT.-The
first Congregational church in West
Springfield, Mass, that old model moral
beacon of the conference and county, IT,,
for the eleventh time in her history of 172
years, without a pastor. The ecelesiasti-
cal council, consisting of a dozen pastors
from the surrounding towns, with Rev.
O. B. Clark of Chicopee as chairman and
Rev J. L. =. Trask of Holyoke as scribe,
terminated on Monday the pastorate of
Rev. Fl. III. Circuit, formerly of West Rut-
land In taking this action they testified
warmly to his ability and fidelity, and,
referring to the changes which have taken
place in West Springfield, urged the
church to yield their attachment to the
old locality and rebuild on a site nearer
the present center of population. Rev.
Mr.. Grout, in mis- last pulpit service, stated
that on the church RECORDS of the lest $50
years there were 1865 names, and that
during his ministry of three and half
years there had been II deaths of church
members, 8 of whom had died during the
last yeaz. Of these last the average age
was 69k years. Chs ,ast funeral of the
year was OF a church member 20 years
old, native of the town, and at his burial
were gathered four brothers and four sis
ters, whose ages ranged from 63 to 81
years. The church has had 16 deacons,
only 3 of whom are iiyi4g, and only of
these are in present service. The descons
all live to green old age, the average
longevity of those who have died being
nearly 81 years.
Rev. Mr.. Grout is to spend the winter
