BAsE-BALL.-The Stonewall Baseball Club
OF this city played the Independents Of Harri-
sonburg on last Friday and were beaten by
score of 46 to 3. We understand that the indie
pendents will visit this place shortly for sec
ond game and we advise the Staunton boys to
practice early and often and redeem them
selves.
1t is necessary to state in explanation of the
great difference in the scores that three of the
best players in the Stonewall Club were alb
sent and their places supplied by green hands.
All of the Club were exhausted when they
went on the field, having had no rest at all the
night previous. The captain of the Indepen-
dents expressed himself as dissatisfied with the
game, not considering it fair test of skill, and
offered to reduce the score to to %, which,
however, was objected to by the Stonewall
Club, they being willing to acknowledge their
defeat by the score given above. The mem
beers of the Stonewan Club speak in the highest
terms of their hospitable entertainment and
the many courtesies extended to them.

The STORM ON WEDNEsDAY.-We made
mention in our last issue of the terrific storm
which visited the lower end of the county OH
Wednesday, but at that writing were unable to
give any Of the particulars. Since then we
learn that The greatest fall Of rain was in the
vicinity of Mt. Pisgah Church, the dividing
ridge between North and Middle Rivers and
that the farmers around that neighborhood sus-
tanned great damages. The lands of Thomas
Hamrick were badly washed, fences were
swept away, and orchard and corn-fields torn
to pieces. Jas. Jordan's corn. hay, and fences
were washed away; w. P. and Phillip Sheets
lost heavily, also VIM. Link, ST., E. J.. Houff,
Jno. Patterson, Chas. Wine, and in the Long
Glade region the loss was scarcely less severe.
Among the greatest sufferers were Sam'l Lit
ton, B. Herring, and there were many others
whose names we were unable to ascertain who
have been severely damaged.

Ten NIGHTS IN A BARRCoM.-This beau
tiful and impressive drama was rendered at
the Town Hall on Thursday and Friday nights
by the dramatic association of the Temper
ance Society, and we must say that we were
most agreeably surprised at the admirable
manner IN which the characters were sustained.
All of the performers were amateurs, many
having never before appeared ON the stage,
but their perfect composure. and the vim and
animation thrown into the different parts.
were worthy of more pretentious candidates
for the public's lucre and applause. Miss Eta
French, as little Mary, quite won the hearts OF
the audience by her charming rendition OF the
drunkard's child, and her songs were sweet,
sympathetic and affecting. Miss Keller, as
Mehtable Cartright. had many admirers, be-
sides Sample Switched, and she deserved ey-
cry one of them, while Miss Boyd, as Mrs.
Slade. and Miss Clark, as Mrs. Morgan-both
sustained their parts with surprising natural
ness and considerable dramatic talent. The
difficult character of Sample Switched was
most successfully given by Mr.. England, who
must have made the New England twang and
Yankee manners special study, SO completely
did he have them under his control. Mr..
Herndon, as Joe Morgan, seemed perfectly
at home. Indeed, so we'll did he perform, that
many were struck with the idea that he must
have seen. something Of staggering and holding
on to the counter in real life. Mr.. Warner, as
Simon Slade was no less a success, while the
other parts were creditably rendered.
After the drama, came, the farce of the
ssLimerick Boy" in Which Mr.. Thos. Smith
appeared as Patty Miles, and from the brogue
and gestures, as well as his belligerent atti-
tudes, one would have supposed that he was
fresh from Emerald's sod. we venture to say
that no one who attended these exhibitions an.
ticipated an entertainment half SO agreeable.
The house was filed OH both occasions and all
seemed more than pleased. We understand
that the Society proposes to give another per-
Torrance at no distant day, and those who de
