Base Ball.
WATER GAP Us. cALpENo.

On Saturday last match game of base
ball was played on the Fair Ground, the
contestants being the Caldenos of this place
and the Water Gap House nine, consisting
of boarders at that hotel Our boys only
escaped defeat by the "skin of their teeth,
it being the closest game they have ever
won. The visitors were all fine players
individually, coming from various excellent
clubs in Easton, Philadelphia and Newark,
but lack of practice together was very
observable in their play. The ground was
in bad condition, from our recent heavy
rains and the fielding was decidedly poor
as the large number of errors demonstrates
the batting however was excellent on both
sides. A large crowd was present in the
early afternoon to witness the game, but as
the hours slipped by and no "Nater Gap
pers" appeared many left thinking there
would be no game. About 4:30 the Wis
itors made their appearance and game was
Immediately commenced. On account ofthe
carelessness of the Caldeno scorer we are
unable to give the base hits. The columns
are Runs, Put out, Assisted and Errors
respectively The following is the score

Society in England has been shaken to
the centre by the trial of Col. Valentine
Baker, an aristocratic army officer, fifty
years of age and married, for an indecent
assault upon Miss Dickinson, with whom
he was travelling alone in railway car
riage. From the testimony it appeared
that she was only saved from something
worse by her own courage and presence of
mind. Baker was promptly arrested and
sent to trial, his case consuming but a single
day. No defence was made, but proofs of
good character and distinguished public
services were submitted. The jury found
him guilty in few minutes after retiring,
and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine
of S2500 and to be imprisoned one year.
Col Baker has since been dismissed from
the army and his disgrace thus made COM
plete. The point in this case which chiefly
deserves our attention is the prompt and
impartial manner in which justice was ad-
ministered. The high social and military
standing of the defendant did not avail for
a single moment to protect him from the
full opera ton of the law. 1t would be for
tunate if we could say as much for the
course Of justice in our own country.

The Pittsburg CoD,merical says that the
latest Democratic dodge in this State is to
crowd poor old Noyes off as candidate for
Governor by nominating him for the State
Treasurer, and putting Ross, of Montgo-
merry, on for the Governor. Ross and
Noyes is now the Wallace combination, ac-
cording to report. 1t is hard on Bigler
and Waream, but then they are both used
to it. Slifer, whom Curtin wants nomina-
ted for State Treasurer, has no notion of
being used in that way He is much more
inclined to support the Republican State
ticket, and Curtin's little scheme, therefore
goes for nothing. The small-fry of the
Democratic press had better get their
mouths ready to hurrah for Ross and Moves,
with mental reservation in favor of Barr,
who is the only one likely to give trouble
to Ross

By invitation of Mrs. Vincent Miller and
Miss Martha S. Henry, party of ten
friends from Henryville, started for days
pleasure to the Buckhill Falls, on Monday
August 9th inst. The day was delightful
one, the weather was pleasant, and the com
pany was composed of cheerful countenan-
ces, smiling faces and happy hearts. In
this company were two families from New
Jersey, near relatives Of Mr.. Vincent Mil
Ter, who added much pleasure to the party
and we think these folks should live in a
better climate than is enjoyed in Spain. AT
Oakland, the party halted and visited the
large Peg Works in operation in that place.
In one room were employed some nine OF
ten young ladies, neatly attired, in making
the pegs by machinery. The several opera
tions the block of wood has to go through
before the peg is finally finished, was shown
and it afforded much qualification to all.
Again the carriages proceeded on their
journey until the residence of Mr.. G. Price
was reached, who allowed the party the use
of his stables, where the horses were allowed
to rest. After walk of about a mile
through the woods, the descent commenced

of trees, clinching some root of tree, back.

handing down from hand to hand-slowly
but surely the descent was accomplished
The first to reach the foot of the Falls
away ahead of all the others, was Miss
Henry, the joy of her fathers home and tho
light of the household. When all had
reached the foot of the Falls, the view was
grand, as We stood looking at the water
foaming over the rocks and descending with
great force into beautiful basin prepared
by Nature to receive it as it comes down.
No pen can describe it, or tongue tell the
effect the view has on a person who first
looks on such beautiful piece of work.

the foot of the Falls, reclining on the moss,
shadowed over by great rock, the ladies
spread out feast of good things, which
were heartily enjoyed by the company-such
feast is not often set out We venture to
say, from what we know of the party, that
more delighed company has not visited
these Falls for years. After a pleasant
stroll along the banks of the stream and
taking last and long look at the charming
Falls, they returned home after dark, no one
exhaused and none to say, am glad [ am
back, but all sorry the trim was So soon over
If this delighted party ever meet again un-
der the shadow of the rock, may they meet
IN that beautiful land, where there are no
shades of sun to hide from. You KNOW.

The Philadelphia North american says;
The Pennsylvania Democracy may as well
take down their sign and put up the shut
ters of the show window of their establish

tai. For a long, long time have they dis
played in that show window the model of a
tremendous hole IN the State Treasury; a
hole out of which something valuable was
supposed to have dropped.
