THE LATE GAME OF BASE BALL Owing
to the extreme heat Of last week we forgot,
among the items gathered and stored away
in the back part Of our head for the local COL
umn, to bring out that one i1 reference to
the game played by the club composed of
members of the garrison at this place, and
which came off in Columbia on the 4.h The
successful and skilful nine will please accept
our excuses, and attach the blame 10 the
clerk Of the weather. Up 10 the last moment
we felt satisfied there was something behind,
and scratched our head from one side to the
other, but alas that item refused to come.
1t was Ike calling spirits from the Vastly deep.
Newbcrrr is always ahead, first in love, first
in war, first in the hearts Of her countrymen,
and it is not surprising that the nine having
brea;hcd the fresh atmosphere Of this bles-
scd region should bear off the palm from the
clubs below. We did not see them 60 off, ,
but happened to be around when they came
back, and were much pleased with their trim
aud tidy appearance, their dress Of rcd jacket
with neat monogram on breast, knee brecchss
OF linen, white stockings, and brown CATERS.
They looked well. We understand they are
to have another game to decide the cham
pionship, aud we wish them success.

a CARD.

Alta meeting of the Star Ethiopian Troupe,
held on Tuesday, the 4th inst, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted.
RESOLVED, That the Star Ethiopian Troupe
take pleasure in returning their sincere
thanks TO the Messrs. Grenekcr, Editors Of
the Newberry Herald, for the kindness and
courte.y extended to them during the sea-
son Of their public entertainments, which
were rendered short from several causes.
such as HEAVY TAXES, warm weather and
general xpenSes-they being much greater
than expected ,-apd that the latter was made
much lighter by the mere nominal charges
made for the large amount of printing ne
cessary for such entcrtainm ents, and which
was 60 neatly executed by OUR FRIENDS.
STAR ETHIOPIAN TROUPE.
We feel gratifed, of course, at this compI-
mentary notice Of the interest we felt and
and manifested in the SUCCESS Of the Star
Troupe, and beg leave to tender the young
gentlemen our highest regards, not only for
the handsome manner in which they acauit-
ted themselves on the stage, bIt for the cour-
tesies extended TO this Office, and for their
praiseworthy efforts in getting up a series Of
entertainments, at considerable expense, fol-
the pleasure of the entire community. Tha,
their expenses were heavier than their IN
come, We sincerely regret, and we feel-as-
sured. that the citizens generally no. only ap-
preciate their motives, bat sympathize with
them, and to this extent, that when next
they appear before them, ,:hey viii be greeted
with such house as will insure return fol
their lost time and money, aud something
over. =

Fire in CollinsUiHe.-The wooden build- ing covering the concentration furnace of the Collins company, at Collinsyille, acci- dentally took fire about midnight Thursday and was totally consumed. The contents were of nature to be only slightly in- jured; fully insured in responsible com panies. It will in no way interrupt or interfere with the operations and business of the company. The burnt building was about l2O feet by 30.

Last Satur- day afternoon, while tue evening train on the Housatonic road, was standing at the depot in Pittstield, a colored woman stepped on board with her infant child, and place. ing it securely in seat, left the car for a moment to go back into the depot, and the train started for Burlington, taking the child with it, but leaving the mother in the depot: The child was taken off at Housatonic, and the mother was obliged to wait for the Sunday afternoon milk train, before she could go on to hunt it up.

PIECES OF CoAL.-The depressed con- dition of prices of coal in the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania affords some hopes that the purposes of the"Coal bulls to put up prices will not be attended with the success which had been anticipated. For d week or more, the Philadelphia Ledger says, coal has steadily accumulated at al. most all the centers, and sales are difficult -at any price. Nothing, it is said, can now revive the market equal to the capacity of production but fortnight of cold weather This, it is surmised, and justly, too, would probably give impetus to the demand for coal that prices might be maintained to the end of the season but there is no req son to suppose that an advance is likely to occur. It will be remembered that several journals indulged in elaborate calculations of the relative supply and demand of coal, which induced them to arrive at the con- clusion that fuel wonld be scarce during the present Winter, and counseled the early purchase of Winter supplies. Many con- sumers were induced by ther advice to lay in supplies at an early period of the sea- son at higher prices tban now prevail or are likely to prevail this Winter.-PougA- keepsie Telegraph.

THE ACCURACY OF NEwsPAPERs.-Som people have an idea that it is the business of newspapers to lie, and are so wise as only to believe newspaper report when they think it would be easier for the paper to tell the truth than it is to tell a lie, and they think it an evidence of wit to reject all evidence for authority that comes from newspapers. A few minutes though would convince any person of common judgment that such course is great mis- take. The editor gathers his news from a thousand sources, from acqualntances and strangers, from letters and papers. He sifts, culls, hunts, condenses and endeav- ors to get the straight facts of every story he publishes, for it goes to the public over his name, and he knows in a great measure he will be held responsible for it. The private individual hears piece of gossip carelessly, and repeats it with carelessness, and for details, nine cases out of ten cannot furnish enough of them to make an intelli- gent item for paper. It is to the advan- tage of the newspaper to furnish facts, but where there is so much fire there must be some smoke. How many men can show record for correctness, accuracy and truthfulness that will compare with the average newspaper The wonder, instead of being that the newspapers should con- | tain occasional inaccuracies and misstate- ments, is that they contain SO few of them considering the sources from whence the editors information is drawn.

Chnpinville.
 MIR. EDrToR.-Iu the absence of any other local matters from which, this week to make a correspondence, have conclu ded to have talk with a certain portion of our' community, who are to themselves their worst enemies. In the first place lei us see how many places there arc in th' town, for the sale of that which you arr ready to acknowledge, causes you misery in it's every sense. An cnnu,neration foots up thirty; eighteen of which are located between the church in this village and the state line near Millerton. To estimate tn. amount of money which is expended rt these places, St the low figure Of $3. p't day for 300 days in the year, we find ths, each one of them drives business of &90a per year. This I am sure you will sgre'. with me is no exageration of the tra6c : and for the thirty in town at these figures would show that two thousand seven hun dred dollars is contributed by you yearly l." keep these places alive. This sum is nearly a third larger than the entire town tax. These figures are in themselves surely ha' enough, butt when we consider the fsr' that this money is composed of dollar which you have worked hard to earn. Now the question IS; Does it pay? After you have been on regular old tear."-as + is sometimes. called, ard you realize ,h, fact that you are nothing but drunksrd that your home is the home of misery, au6 that your family know not the meaning of the word comfort, and not only that, 1u, to realize the fact that the rumssller is growing rich on your misery does i: pay? These are a few ideas as they hay, occurred to me, and wish you to think Q. them. We in Chapinville are not tbeInnl, people who have @ class that are,such, enc mics to themselves 1n'thes village of Sal isbury, I understand there has very recently been added to the four whiskey shops whicl
 for some months have been under head way, the fifth, which I hear is located or North Main street. To the people of that village, must say. Tam ashamed of you and can regard you in nV other light thar towards. You don't want these shop among you, and consider the reason you do not root them out, is because you are afraid of them.

I suppose, sfoliowIng in .tl. who adorn your; ;,columns weekly, shout, give you a lengthy. description of inc place natives, genealogy~ of different citizens &c.,, &c. have not however suflicien' data at present and will defer that to sub scquent letter.......For the past two o' three weeks quite large force of men am teams under the supervision of Mr. Aile,
 Wentworth, has been employed in ''recun
 strucling" the Mountain dam. The oIa Hume was entirely taken away, and beav, iron tubing of sufficient sig" to accomm" date the usual flow of water substituted Upon this tube is well built pile of ma sorry, many of inc stones composing il
 weighing two and three tons, and upon th
 top of this, a space six or eight feet il,

 the dam of the upper or north lake, an' now let the rains descend and the suows melt the old Mountain dam will stand firm and secure, and when ibc windows ui heaven are opened and ''the thunders r''i and lightning flash, your .timorous peopl
 of the valley need no longer quake in their shoes, for fear that the old da,n will gap. and sweep them and their household gods to distraction. That this has been no vain fear in years past, can assure you, re member distinctly some sixteen years ago. when after long continued rain a portior of the old Hume gave way, and the waters rushed down through our streets, c..rrying along with it hoe handles; flat irons ]; wash tubs &c., making the men think ot their sins and the women of their babies. The lake was lowered as much AS possible to facilitate the repairing ot the dain, anu consequently the many shoals of fish there in were huddled into close quarters. Tnen was ye time for ye lusty modntaineer. Every one went fishing in boats, on rafts. logs and wash tubs, armed with everything in the shape of weapon from a rusty nai' stuck into fence rail to an eight prouged spear. Fearful was the slaughter. In one night no less than POO pickerel, aside from bushels of perch, shell fish and bush eels. de parted for''that bourne &c," and lam cred, ibly informed that the natives ate 80 many fish, that the bones pricked through in a!i directions, and they were obliged to sand paper them down, in order to preserve their linen....... Thursday of next week is Thanksgiving day! What of it, say you! We'll, we are bound to celebrate and hay ent the wherewithal to do it. Gobblng turkeys, clucking hens and "Mary' little lamb" don't flourish luxuriantly Eere, on account ofsclimate, so tell your animiics to roost high if you prefer to eat them your selves. "DDMus."

Cornwall Bridge.

A few mornings since, car on the Housatonic railroad at this station, was thrown from the track by the rails of the road spreading apart. No damage of ac- count resulted save the little delay neces- sary to replace it.......Tne people who con- pleted an arrangement with liquor agent for boarding him four or five weeks, and who furnished him with his meals for one day and his nights lodging, and who then allowed him to go away without paying his bill, and forget to come back, think that class of boarders are not profitable.
