A meeting of the citizens of this place
was held on Tuesday evening, for the pur-
pose of organizing steam ferry company
to purchase boat, to ply between Port
and Lapidum. We are informed that
some twelve hundred dollars have been
subscribed and there is but little doubt
that the subscriptions will be increased
sufficiently to enable the company to begin
active operations in short time. The
limit is one thousand shares at ten dollars
each. The business men and citizens in
general, have felt the want of an efficient
ferry boat for long time, and there is now
good prospect of its success.
VIM. f. A. Foster has lately occupied
his now house and furniture store in Mid
dletown. II. C. Nesbitt, Esq, has torn
down the old store house on his lot above
the NJ. E. Church, and intends erecting a
new building on the site of the old one
prorided.
A few evenings ago, while the lamp
lighter was going his rounds, after lighting
one of the lamps, he conceived the idea of
filing the lamp while it was burning; the
oil used is gasoline, and from the explosion
and fire which followed, we think friend
Ba1ton received more light than he bar
gained for.
The steamboats, between Port Deposit &
Baltimore, are now making daily trips.
The water has been put into the canal
as far down as Lapidum; and some say the
company now controlling it think seriously
of making this point the southern terminus.

The Ball Field,-The Modocs and Warm

The Ball Field.-The Modocs and Warm
Spring Indian Base Ball Clubs Of Elkton,
played match game on Towards park
last Saturday; while an Immense crowd Of
ladies and gentlemen were spectators OF
the exciting game. After music by the
band and the new comic song:
"fm Captain Jack of the Lava beds
I'm cock OF the walk and king of the reds,'
&c
sung in fine style by the Elkton Glee Club,
the game was called at halfpast three p. NJ,
with Thackery as umpire, Captain Jack
sat the bat" and Shack Nasty Jim "on
deck The first thunder bolt sent by the
Warm Spring pitcher, was neatly taken
by the Captains "war club" and sent
daisy cutting breaking the leg of the
centre field Warm Spring, in fruitless
attempt to stop it, and landing on the oppo-
site side of the Tule Lake. Jack dropping
his club, started with war whoop that
made the meadow ring, and started all the
setter-dogs abarking-wh the children
Modocs shouting at the top of their voices
"chahoh, chakoh, chakoanaugh," which in
terpreted, means pull away or run your
best. The centerfeld being disabled, and
the ball Oh the opposite side of the Lake,
Warm Spring Indian was compelled to
swim across in order to get it. In the
meantime Captain Jack was coming round
the circle to the home-base like a streak
OF yellow llghtning,-the Warm Springs
shouting "chahoa, chakoanaugh where
he fetched up with double summersot and
yell, that started the dogs and babies
afresh.
"shack Nasty at the bat, and Scarfaced
Charley on deck - was called; and the
referee sung out "ball.' The pitcher
hurled the ball and Shack Nasty flung his
bat, striking Warm Spring on the shin,
who set up tremendous howl and the
spectators riprorious laugh, the referee
crying out "foul,' which the pitcher no
doubt agreed with. Soon order was re-
stored and the pitcher sent another ball
whizzing, which Shack Nasty took on his
bat and sent kiting, a perfect "sky
scraper," that came down in the catcher's
hands. Then the Warm Springs sent up
shout like all the devils in Pandemonium
had broken loose, at this remarkable feat.
The exciting game was hotly contested
for three hours with varying success, re-
sulting in victory to the Warm Springs
in 43 runs against 35 made by the Modocs
Another contest between the tribes is to
take place at an early day. This match is
to be played for big war club. The
players are to be in full costume-war
paint and breech clouts-on that occasion,
and most exciting game is anticipated

A special meeting of "The Teachers

day tho 18th inst, in the Brick School
House." Essays were read by Miss Bid
die and Mr.. Quigley, on Classification in
school; after which lengthy and spirited
discussion of the subject was carried on
by Messrs. Trainor, Squier, Calhoun, Qug-
ley and Miss Biddls. MI. Trainor argued
that classification was absolutely necessary
in school and particularly favored the plan
given by Prof. Newell, at the Institute;
while Messrs. Squirer, Quigley and Cal
houn and Miss Biddle contended that too
much classification destroyed the individu-
ality of pupils, and that plan which
might work well in one school would be
useless in another Though the members
were alarmingly against him, the first men,

but bravely held up against the attack of

THE MoDoC WAR.-A battle was fought
at Antelope Creek on Monday. Hasbrouc k
overhauled the Modocs and lively figh
ensued in the hills, close to Fairchild's.
The Modocs were driven southwark OH the
Tickner road, towards the timberred butts.
Five Modocs are reported killed in the
battle and ten squaws and papooses cap
tured.
The troops on Tuesday were hurrying
towards Van Bromsr's. still in pursuit Of
the Modocs.
The report makes no mention of the loss
on the part of the soldiers.
A despatch received at Yreka states that
the Modocs left the lava beds about two
days after the attack on Captain Jackson's
forces. The last stronghold is abandoned.
Captain Jack is making his wsy toward the
Pitt River Indians. The Warm Spring
Indians and troops under Perry and Has
brouck are pursuing them.
1t is reported that a quarrel has broken
out among the savages, two-thirds declar-
ing they will fight no longer.
The employment of troops in the lava
beds is quito useless at present.
A courier was shot at close to Van
Bremer's.
Another despatch states that the Modocs
are scattered in the country.
A company of volenteer sharp shooters
are to be raised to fight the Modocs. The
company will find their own arms and am
unition and the Government will supply
them with rations.
