lie is not willing to accept the cheerlesS,
not TO say hopeless, position of an atheist
or of one who utterly ignores the claims of
religious feeling. The facts Of religious
feeling, he says, are to him as certain as the
facts Of physics and all that he asks is that
the forms by which that feeling is express
ed shall vary in accordance with the intel
lectual condition of the age. There is moth
ing very dreadful in such demand from
science. He shows, also, that he cannot
maintain the position of a cold and goddess

thought it ever dissolves and disappears as
offering no solution of the mystery in
which we dwell and of which We form a
part" This looks like concession of the
whole case, So far as the sufticiency Of ma

the advantage of holding sway in the high
est aud best moods Of the mind even of The
boldest scientific investigator.

THE QUICRsTEPs We. LESLEY AT NEW CAsTLE.-
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR OUR HOME NINE.
On Saturday afternoon, not less than four
hundred spectators assembled at New Castle to
witness the game between the A v. Lesley club,
Of that place. and the Qucksteps, of this city.
1t was expected that the game would be an ex-
citing one, and tho first two innings did not dis
appoint such expectations.
The game opened with the Lesley ut the bat,
who were disposed of in one-two-three order,
and the Qnicksteps were allowed one run,
by a clean hit Of Lafferty to right which
sent Cnch home from 'rhird The Lesleys
then resumed their place at the 'inns" and
were again blanked by fine plays of Hindell at
Home and Second, and magnificent throw
of Stdham to "Flrst." In the next inning both
clubs retired with whitewash for each. The
Leeleys then went to the bat, and amid the
greatest excitement added to their score by a
wild throw of Clinch to "Home."
The game now stood two to one in favor of
the Lesley, and the Quckstep's hackers began
to look blue. The game was resumed with Laf-
ferty at the bat, who, by fine hit to "left,
made his first stole to second and by short Int
of Kelley made count BY some good batting
and pool fielding of the Lesley, five runs were
disposed OF. The game from this point contin-
ued to be very interesting, but not exciting, the
Quicksteps having their own way in the matter,
the score at the end of the 9th inning standing
16 to in their favor.
The game WAS, except the one between the
victors and the Lawrence club on Thursday, the
finest of the season, and was creditable both tc
the home nine and the Lesley.
The score was M follows

upon the road, enabled them to make at least

A Poor Mans Hard Journey.

HE ATTEMPTS TO WHEEL Ills INVALID WIFE AND
CHILD THREE HUNDRED MILES IN A wHEELBAR-
ROW.
The Rochester Express says that laboring
man, named Robert Spear, entered Charlotte,
Tuesday afternoon, wheeling hia wife in a
wheelbarrow. The unusual sight made quite a
sensation tnd in a very few moments quite a
crowd was collected around the man and his
family. On being interrogated, he told his
story, which is about az follows For several
years he has been residing in Buffalo,in the en-
ploy OF the Erie Railway Company. When he
got out Of employment, he and his
wife and three children-a boy twelve years
of age, and two girls, one ten, and the
other two - started out for their old
home at Gouyerneur. in st. Lawrence county
Having no money, and being too proud to beg
they commenced their journey by walking along
the line of the Lake Ontario Shore Railroad
Mrs. Spear, however. lad been afflicted with
rheumatism for several years. and was unable to
walk, so the husband, procuring wheelbarrow,
attempted the task of wheeling her in it the en-
tire distance. The children trudged along by
their side. They left Buffalo OIL the 10th inst /,
and since that time they have subssted on what
food they could get from the farmers, and have
slept mostly in the open air. Spear who appears
to he an honest, temperate man, Raid he had
heard there was new railroad being built near
Charlotte, 30 he had gone in that direction to
get WORK. CONDUCTOR omlbll, OF the Cnaflotte
train from Rochester heard the story, and col
lected OF the citizens of Charlotte enough money
to send them by the cars to Gouverneur. The
destitute family then came on to Rochester,
where the kind hearted conductor gave them q
meal at the Brackett House eating saloon
More money was also raised for them by Depot
Policeman Buck and Officers Burns and Crouch
1t is probable therefore, that Spear leave his
wheelbauow in Rochester. and that he and his
family will get to their old home in compare
lively comfortable manner.

ROBERT COOK, ESQ.

HoBhhT COOK, ESQ.
This gentleman died yesterday at his country

was native Of Delaware, Of high
y respectable family who for genera

to st. Louis and soon became a pros
porous merchant. He was member OF the
firm of Howe, Clahin x Cook, the second part
ner of the firm being the recent Governor of
Mass, Hon. VIM. Clailin. Having in this
connection acquired an ample fortune, Mr.. Cook,
in 1860, withdrew and removed to Philadelphia
where he has since resided. His love for Della
ware was always prominent characteristic
and no doubt influenced the investment
Of portion Of his means in New Castle county
land. He also made it his summer home and

loyed the improving of his several farms.
Personally, Mr.. Cook was All attractive man
and those who knew him were warmly attached

ment and a liberal mind. Few men of Delaware
