REELARE LETTER,
BELLAIRE, O., Oct. 12, 1874.

NJ ent was held on Wheeling Island,
and one of the games was between
the Bellaire Association club of this
place, and the Velocipedes of Wheel
ing. At the last inning the game stood
ID t0 Z in favor of our nine. During
the playing of the first half of this in
ming the Bellaire boys put out two
men by double play, and the umpire
so decided. The Wheeling boys, how
ever, called his decision into question,
and to avoid difficulty the Bellaire
club agreed to play on a count of one
out. This, however, liberal as it was,
did not satisfy the Velocipedes, they
continuing to clamor for none out. TIE
umpire, VIM. Little, of this place, was
forced by their ungentlemanly conduct
to call the game, declaring that the
Wheeling boys had forfeited it by a
score of 8 too. 1t seems that it is I'M
possible for these two clubs to play a
game that will be mutually satisfac-
;Ory. 1t was only by the interp0si-
ton of portion of the Bellaire club
that Mr.. Little escaped unscGthed.
The speech of Hon. L. Danford at
( City Hall on last Saturday night was
/ listened to with rapt attention by an
audience that filled the hall to over
flowing, and is very highly spoken of
here.
/ y tin can attached to the tail of a
member OF the canine species created a
palpitatiOn ia the heart of the city on
last Saturday. We have an idea that
i that cur WAS somewhat afflicted with
the same trouble.
Anitinerant preacher " no announced
himself as the founder of the "univer-
sal Church of Christ" sang, talked, and
/ took up collection, one day last week
on Water Street, nearly opposite the
Globe House. He says that the Ger
man race is the noblest clan of Anglo
S1Xnns on the face of the globe. He
I isn't German.
The churches yesterday were well
attended as usual. AS before announc-
ed Rev. Castor repeated the sermon
preached by him two weeks ago. The
audience was large and appreciative.
In the absence of Rev. /. J. Spencer, a
young gentleman from Bethany Col
lege nfficiated at the d sciples Church
yesterday. The German Evangelical
] Church was dedicated to the worship
of God by Rev. Mueller, of Wheeling,
Brother Of the pastor here. assisted by
Rev. CASTOR. Rev. Mueller preached
in German in tire morning, and Rev.
Castor in English at 2 p NJ. The
church, although small, is neat, and
Exceedingly creditable to the congre-
cation. 1t is situated on Central Ave
nue., near the G. & p. R. R. depot.
A public position of any kind here is
such thankless task that it is Won
accept it. The people even seem to
think that the servants of the public
are accountable to them for the way
they administer public affairs. Just
now the point upon which the people
presume to dictate is the monopoly OF
the school book trade by the school
does seem unallowable; but if our peO-
pie will only ponder over the matter
we think they will be soon convinced
that this is source of handsome profit
to the members of the board, and as
such not to be neglected by prudent
men.
The idea expressed in your last issue
that Dan could evolve anything out
from his own inner consciousness is
quite novel one to his acquaintance
i. herein fact it is not generally credited
thar he has any inner consciousness, OF
conscience either, to deduct aught from
Somebody else must have originated
his facts in their imaginatiOn; or, per
haps, he gets them out of the same
book in which he finds his jests.
Our schools are all crowded to theil
utmost capacity, and flourishing won
derfully well.
Our Sabbath Schools are soon to give
n union jubilee. The project originated
we think in the M. E. School; but ali
who feel inclined are invited to partici.
pate. 1t will probably be mainly un.
der the leadership of Prof. Schofield.
i A Panorama of Egypt and the Holy
Land was exhibited at the M. f.
Church on last Thursday evening.
A report found expression in the In.
tettige'ocer of Monday morning, to the
effect that a girls corpse had been
found in the upper town. We guess
that this, like many of the bqtelt,gence1
locals reports, must be canard, fOl
the closest investigation reveals moth
ing of the kind.
, The paw-paw crop is said to be fail
ure as success in these parts.
1t tried to snow little to-day, bu
after about half an hours trying i
gave it up for bad job.
Tie ghost has retired to the back
seats.
Butter is exceedingly scarce, and ifi

also far from plenty. SNAP.
