poor, others ind ticrcnt, and only one or
two worthy of note, The patrons of the
Mercantile Library course were last
night favored with production of COM

ever, the freshness OF personal knowledge
running through the whole that gave 1t
the life, reliability and earnestness neces-
sary to deep and permanent impression
upon the audience and kept them in deep

BASE BALL.-Quite large crowd as
sembled at the Fair Grounds yesterday
afternoon, to witness the match game of
base ball between the Alleghenies, o.
Pittsburgh, and the Standards OF
this city. As the visiting
nine is made up almost exclusively
of paid players, it was not expected that
the Wheeling boys would be able to
cope with their visitors success fully: yet
there was hope that they hight win.
But the result Of the game dis, elled any
such fond desire. The Stand
ards played well but the old
hands at the business, proved too much
tor them. The first and last innings proved
the Waterloo. The playing of Nc
Closky, the catcher of the Allrghcnies.

pocket compass, which lie did, and y friend

lie did not travel by the compass. He stated
that he did not dare to. He wished to 60
north, and he g tried hard to make the thing
60 north, but twas no use 'twould diddle,
dddle, diddle right round, and point south
east every time
