CLARENCE LOCALS.
On the evening Of the 9TH inst, our
vicinity was favored with fine rain.
o. On the 9Th inst. we were favored with
q call from your distinguished towns
men, Judge Rothrock and J. Bull Esq.
The voters of Dayton township are re.
qussted to meet at the office Of NJ. Me-
Laughlin, in Clarence, on the evening of
the 18th inst, for the purpose Of select.
ing delegates to attend the County nom-
mating Convention to be held at Upton
on the 10th.
On the Sth inst. our school boys went
to Mechanicsville, to play Base Ball with
a like club at that place. As yet we
have had no report from them.
LATEK.-We have just ascertained
that our children Base Ballists, were
defeated at Nechanicsville, by a score Of
81 to SO by the second nine ofthat place.
1t was said to be quito amusing to see
full grown men, striving with our
twelve year Odds. SO earnestly. They
seemed to realize that the credit of their
town as ball players hung upon the re.
suit Of this game. Now that our little
boys are defeated, Mechanicsville is re-
deemed.
AS was anticipated by every one, our
S. S. Concert announced In your last
weeks issue, at the NJ. Il. Church on
the 9TH inst. was complete success.
AS the hour Of commencement arrived,
people came flocking in from every d.
rection, until there was scarcely stand
ing room for the vast audience that
assembled, and many were obliged to
leave, being unable to find seat, or
even good place to stand.
The music was delightful from begin
ming to end, and every one seemed we'll
pleased with the admirable selections of
Prof. Bates for such an occasion, as we'll
as the manner Of their performance.
Upon the whole VIC have not spent an
hour more pleasantly in long time, and
We think we can say as much for the
entire audience.
DRUNK-Between one and two o'clock
Sabbath morning, 9Th inst, our citizens,
residing on Sd street, were aroused
from their slumhers by four or five
persons in beastly state of intoxica-
ton, quarrelIing, swearing, wl,ooping
and singing by turns. We do not think
that our city fathers could expend q lit.
tie money more judiciously than by
erecting a calaboose in our town, for the
accommodation Of such customers.
These occurrences are becoming quite
too frequent, and unless some place of
confinement is provided, We may expect
our town to be taken, sooner or later by
these rowdies.
RoBBERy.-On the evening of the 2Sd
of July, the Billiard Saloon connected
with the American House, in this place
was broken into and robbed Of about
one hundred dollars in money. Circum-
stances, it is said, pointed toward GER
tain individual, who is a citizen among
It's, as the guilty party. WhereupoD,
the proprietors event for him." and on
being questioned in regard to the mat
ter, and facts and circumstances brought
to bear upon him which he could not
explain, owned up and disgorged the
one hundred dollars. Who this light
fingered gentleman(?) is, We, or the
public, have no knowledge. Those pro-
prietors have their money and are satis-
fed; but the thief is allowed to 90 free,
aud, emboldened by the result of this,
his first effort, perhaps, will try his hand
on some other individual, and perhaps
murder him to accomplish it. Is this
the way to deal with such fellows?
On the night Of the 1st inst. this Sa-
loon was again entered and robbed OF
about nine dollars. 1t could not be as
certained this time who did it, and
hence the proprietors will have to lose
the amount stolen. If they could only
get back the nine dollars we do not
doubt but that they would fully forgive
the thief.
