played and sharply contested game;
won by only four runs, the score stand

The day was very propitious, the
piercing rays OF the sun being soothed
by gentle breeze, which was very re-

number present was not as large as IL
should have been where such skill was
evinced by the members of the "ball
and bat" the ladies and gentlemen
present expressed their appreciation
by frequent applause at the fine plays
made.
The umpiring was very impartially
performed, Mr.. James Freeman acting
during the last four innings with salts
faction to both clubs.
The small number Of runs made by
the clubs show how stubbornly the
game was contested, and how eager
each was for victory, and we doubt II

more evenly matched. Those present

Proceeding To the place, we found that
an lrlshman named Love, n peaccable

by himself In small board shanty
near the homes OF Messra Coy and
Ballard, had doubtless been foully
murdered, and his shanty eel on iire

could be done but TO wait for the fire TO

and other pelghbors, rs soon M the
fire had spent its strength, they dis,

standing yesterday by son OF Mr.,
