The Cantata, Prof. HALLocK is max
ing fair progress, we are informed, for
the production Of the oratorio of Esther
at Bowling Green during the Central Fair.
We learn that the CpRRIER family will be
cast for their respective parts in the piece
WITH the exception of Mr.. FRANK M,
who will take the part of Haman. AS
they are about as near perfect in this as
musical talent and drill can make any
one, the cast will add much to the render
ing OF the piece in an artistic manner.
Mr.. g. Il. SLAUGHTER, of Maumee, who
took the part of the King at Maumee and
at.this place, will probably takethe same
character again.

DELAWARE Cry, Oct II.
The " Mutuals," of Odessa, played a game of
ball with the " Atlas " club of Delaware City,
to-day 1t proved very close game. The Mu-
tilals scored 90 the Atlas 81. This is the first
contest of the kind that has occurred here for a
long time. There seems to be reviving Of the
former interest.
Business continues dull in tho canal. There
has been greater falling off in the transporta-
ton of soft coal than in almost anything else.
The tows are about one han the size they
were before the panic. For the three months
commencing with the first of juno last past,
there passed through the canal IA, 900 tows.
From the Upper Level there has been shipped
to Philadelphia 10000 baskets Of peaches. SO
that taken with what yere shipped from this
place on the Major ReyJoM and Perry, there
must have been not far from one hundred thou
sand baskets sent from this point to Philadel-
phia.
In politics, very little is said and done. More
activity would insure the success of the Repub-
lean party in the next election AucToR.

Both Mistaken.

Our friend Jones is very modest as well
as man of very impressble feelings.
Jones went out to the deaf and dumb
asylum the other day, to inspect the insti-
tuition. Upon entering, he encountered a
man, evidently az inmate, and he at once
endeavored to explain to the man by max
ing signs upon his fingers, that he wanted
to look through the place. The man also
made signs which Jones could not compre-
hend. Then Jones made other and more
elaborate motions, which set the man at
work with greater violence, and for the
next half hour they stood in the hall, ges-
ticulating and twisting their fingers, with
out being able to comprehend what the 9th
er meant. Finally Jones became angry,
and in an outburst of passion exclaimed:
"Oh, get out you idiot l am tired of
bothering with you"
Thereupon the man said
"That's just what was going to say
about you"
ooh, you can speak, can you? Then
why in thunder didn't you say so, and not
keep me here motioning to you? thought
you were deaf and dumb"
"And 1 thought you were," said the
man.
"I came here to inspect the Asylum"
said Jones, "and took you for patient"
"That's what l came here for, and
thought you were an attendant" said the
man."
Here Jones and the man shook hands,
and hunted upa genuine attendant, and
went away happy. After this, Jones will
always use his tongue first, no matter
where he is.
