FARMERS CHILDREN.-Everyg girl and
boy should have the care of something
belonging to them, to grow, or culti-
vste, or improve. When there is plenty
of room, as on farm, boys should own
a horse, or a COW, or have given por.
tion of the garden to cultivate. Girls
should be allowed to possess beehive,
or Q certain number Of hens, or fruit
bearing Understanding of value,
that by care and cultivation increases
and returns value for itself. Children
will acquire an interest and derive a
happiness from this form of industry
that will repay the effort and trial.

A Fine Contest Between the Mutual apd
Baltimore Clubs-The Now Workers

From 800 to 1000 people assembled on the Union

bad hand and could not play, SO Hatfield, who has
for some time past been ambitious OF first base
honors, took Joe's place. Patterson, the suDsti.
tute playing left 1eld. The contest opened nicely
with the Mutuals at the bat and Mr.. Denlmau, Of
the Atlantic, acting as umpire. The New Workers
were quickly disposed Of before run was scored,
Dean taking Patterson on the ny and Hlgham and
Carey going out on high foul fys well taken

hit a remarkably hot grounder to Burdock, who
telded II beautifully and sent 1t over to first base
like shot. 1t went just trife hgh and Hatfield,
msjudRlng II, caught 1t square on the bridge OF
the nose-one run not counted. This accident

catch White mapping on the base and

inning. In The second inning Hatfield made
pretty line hit to lett field for o base, but was
caught On the home base by throw from White
to Snyder, White having made most wonderful
stop OF a hard hit ball from AlisOn's bat. While
kemson was at the bat he nit foul which struck
Snyder square on the end or a finger mashng ir

gather up badly thrown ball from Burdock.
These three accidents delayed the game about
twenty minutes On its again being renewed,
after Hatneld's last accident. Patterson was play
ing first base and Hatfield left field which post

For several days back 1t has been rumorcd that
the late Grand Jury OF the General sessions had
made an important presentment about the Com
missioners of Charities and Correction. The au-
thorites were reticent on the subject and intl-
mated that, as no Indictment had been found, the
document could hardly be considered as public
property until some action had been taken in the
matter. The following copy OF the presentment
