ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH o 1876
REST AT LAST.


After the shower, the tranquil sun;
Silver stars when The day is done.
After The snow, the emerald leaves;
After the harvest, golden sheaves.
After the clouds, the violet sky
Quiet woods when the wind goes by.
After the temptest, the lull Of waves;
After the battle peaceful graves.
After The kneIl, wedding bells
Joyful greetings from sad farewells.
After The bud, the radiant rose
After our weeping, sweet repose.
After the burden, the biissful need
After the inrrow, the waking seed.
After the flight, the downy nest;
Over the shadowy river-rest.

THE FIRST CANE

y1DIRALsBuRa LEADS OFF IN BASE BALL.
The Eastern Shore has already begun to
be excited over base ball. The first game
Of the season was played .: Federalsburg, OF
which the Courier gives the following ac-
count:
ION Saturday last, the Careless club OF this
place played match game with the Will
iiamsburg club, on the grounds Of the latter.
The score stood SO for the Careless, and 16
for the Williamsburg club. We suppose
that the usual amount of idleness, dislocated
and broken fingers, black eyes and broken
noses will follow these manly sports, so
called. Our reporter thinks that former
adept in this game, some seven years ago,
has lost the art, Judging from the wild
balls" he throws"
Base ball in February is decidedly new

Loss OF the Hat field.

QuEENsTowN, Feb. l6,-The Norwe-
gian bark Floka, which has arrived here
from Baltimore, brought two of the crew Of
the ship W. J. Hatfield, from Philadelphia
from Bremen. The Floka encountered the
Hatfield on the 9th of February, in latitude
40 north and longitude $40 west, dis
masted and water logged, the sea making a
complete breach over her. A boat was sent
out, but failed to get alongside because OF
the high sea. Three men jumped oyerbord
and one of them was drowned. The two
others were rescued. The rest Of the crew
were unable to speak or move, from expo
sure and want of water, and so made to ef.
fort to save themselves. The Floka lay to
during the night, but at daylight the Hat
field was invisible, and 1t is believed foun-
