EMnER DAYs.-W Wednesday, to-day,
Friday and Saturday, Of the present
week, are Timber Days, in Quarter
lenses, observed IN both the Catholic
and Episcopulian Churches. There are
tour ember weeks in this year, occurring
after the first Sunday in Lent, in Whit
sun week, after 10Th Of September, and
after the third Sunday of Advent; in the
Episcopal Church, the hist two follow the
l4th September and the 18th December
They are times of public prayer and
fasting, instituted to thank God for the
fruits of the earth, and impIor" u contin-
uance of the same, and for the successful
ordination of priests and other ministers
of the church, which is performed at these
seasons; and the prayers of the faithful
are invoked that none but worthy and
Jealous pastors may be received into holy
orders.
The Observance Of the Ember days is
of very ancient origin, and their connee-
ton with the ordination of ministers OF
religion render, them particularly siSnl-
fcant to the faithful.
Many reasons have been assigned for
calling these fastS. Ember days; some

BASE BALL-.Standard Is. Belmont
TheIsStandard Base Ball Club accom-
panied by about thirty of their Island
friends, went up TO St. Clairsville yester-
day, toplay the Belmont Base Ball Club
Of that place. The game was called at
100, with the Belmonts at the bat. They
made eight runs on the inning by splen-
did batting, while the Standards were re-
tired with two runs. 1t began
to look very much as if the Standards
would be beaten, but in the next inning
they changed pitchers and by good play
ing whitewashed the Belmonts for five
consecutive inning, while they increased
their score by eleven, the game at the
end Of the sixth inning standing thirteen
to eight in favor of the Standards. The
Belmonts made one on the seventh in
ming. were whitewashed on the eighth,
and III consequence Of u succession of
mutfs and overthrows by the Standards
made four on the ninth inning.
The Standards went to the bat on the
ninth inning with the score standing IA
to - in their favor, but by hard batting
on their part and the poor fielding OF the
Bemonts, they made T. runs, closing the
game with the score standing % to Is.
There was quite II large crowd of specta-
tors, including many ladies, and all seemed
to enjoy the gamc-every good play was
rewarded by enthusiastic cheers. The
only drawback to pleasant afternoon :
sport was occssioned by one or two inebri-
ated individuals, who INDUCED in too
much "chin music" until they were quiet
ci by the Umpire and police.
If such persons were kept oil Base Ball
grounds the game would find more favor
with the better class of people. Below
we give the score by innings:

THAT FORGERY CAsE.-Icaterday, j.
G. Collins was arrested and taken before
Squire Bellville, charged with forgery.
The complainant was George 7. Cites
The case was heard before Justices Bell
willie and Schultz. Cites claimed that
Collins forged his name to n receipt, IN
which he drcw,:833 from the City Clerk,
for one months wages of the complain
ant as Il member of the Fire Department.
The circumstances of the case as
testified to before the jus
tees are as follows: Collins
and Cities belong to the Hook and Lad
der Fire Company, and it is customary
for some one OF the company to 90 to the
City Clerks Office and sign the receipts
for all the members of the company, and
draw their months wages and then hand
over the money to the man it belongs to.
This saves the men from outing
their work and makidg 81 trip to the
City Clerks office. Collins drew the
salaries for the mouth Of August, signing
for each member Of the company. After
taking out his own salary, be handed the
balance over to SchnciI, Jr., part
Of which was to pay Cities. The later
individual owed John Schnell - 80, and
he reserved this amount out of
Cities wages. This kind OF proceeding
did not suit Cites, and thinking Scheli
had drawn the money from the City
Clerk, entered suit against him, which,
of course, was dismissed. lie then
brought suit against Collins on the same
charge, and ut the trial last evening
the above fact, were ELECTED. The justice
dismissed the case against Collins, and he
was honorably discharged. The whole
matter was piece OF spite work on the
| part of Cites, and Chief Marshal Win
der has dismissed him from the Fire De-
partment.
