MATCH GAME OF CROQUET
At GLENCOE.

This popular, fascinating, and most
delightful game is the favorite amuse-
ment of our clever friends of Glencoe
and vicinity, wLo play with such
matchless skill, that others who have
a tolerably fair reputation elsewhere,
are slow to risk it in a contest with
these champions of the croquet fields;
yet they occasionally cross swords Tor
mallet handles rather) with some for
eign players who drive them to the
wall for victory. A few evenings
since, few friends, the guests of Mrs.
DIR. Welsh, met these champions in a
very exciting game for the belt. The
counties of Muskingum, Wayne,
Logan and Monroe were represented
by one from each, Belmont by two,
making six entries on the grounds.
Mr.. C. E. Welsh, of Belmont, was
chosen Umpire. The parties stood,
Wayne, Monroe, and one Belmont
against Muskingum, Logan and one
Belmont. T.. led, made the third wick
ct, followed by Monroe, who sought to
make two points, one first strike but
missed second, and rested on left field;
Muskingum followed, made 3 wickets
and position; Wayne made one point,
no position; Belmont No. 1, made two
points, No. 2 made l; Logan took the
lead, made fine run of seven points,
croqueted every ball and sought part
ners; Muskingum followed closely
while Monroe, Wayne and Belmont
No. were far in the field on a strike
Logan was first rover, Muskingum
second, and Belmont No. 2third. The
excitement became intense when l..
and NJ. being dead, w. came from a
distance-struck Is. No. 2, and put it
on a tight to the field. The Umpire
who was ashamed of the playing of the
other parties now saw turn in favor
of the ill-starred performers but when
B. No. 2 came in from the field on a
fly and struck the last post, thus
making a most glorious victory, his
remarks were uuheard in the midst of
the cheers for the victors. Poor Mon
roe made a desperate effort to keep
back this lone player, but she was too
much for the doctor, and their defeat
was signed and decisive. ROVER.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lini-

subdue, and no lameness which it will not
cure. This is strong language, but it is true.

SEPTEMBER MA GAINES.

Hdrper's sustains the old reputation
for variety. No reader, whatever his
his taste, can fail to find in it some
thing 70 his liking. Both the prose
and poetical contributions are unusual
ly interesting, while all the editorial
departments are admirably sustained.
The Gala9y publishes an article by
the late Edward A. Pollard on "The
Anti-Slavery Men of the South" AT
the head of the list are placed the
names of Thomas Jefferson and Henry
Clay. An interesting feature of the ar
ticle is letter which Pollard wrote to
Mr.. Greeley, in 1860, in advocacy Of the
reopening of the slave trade. A South
erner of the Southerners in the times
before the rebellion, and thoroughly
reconstructed after it, Pollard was one
of the most candid of writers, never
afraid of the truth, no matter whom it
hit; his articles are among the most
valuable contributions to the history
of Southern society.
Demorest's Magazine continues to
maintain its deserved popularity, its
fashion illustrations being remarkably
fine, and its literary matter meritori-
Gus and well arranged.
iScri5aaer's opens with an interesting
illustrated account of ga Cruise among
the Azores" This is followed by an
excellent paper on 1.-The Central Park"
not rehash of guide-books, but a
scholarly article of critical and artistic
value. w. w. Faris takes up the
question of 'The Liberty of Protestant
ism," and denies with vigor the lead
ing assertions of "An Orthodox Minis
ter" in his article on this subject, pub
lished in the Monthly for July. The
Dartmouth, Amherst and Miami Uni
versity address of Whitelaw Reid, on
"The Scholar in Politics." is also pub
lished in this number.
Hoods is as wide awake and enter
tanning as ever, and although it has

force and attractiveness.
The Aidiae fully maintains its high
reputation already gained. The picto-
rial views of the Rocky Mountains,
Clear Creek Canon, and the Snowy
Range of the Sierra Madre are marvel
lously beautiful. The departments OF
music, art and literature are each well
filled with good solid reading matter.

The Democratic Senatorial Conven-

Senator. We know very little of Mr..
Campbell, except that he was one OF
the County Commissioners, when the
business of the County was so glorious
ly bungled under the administration OF
