A CARD.
From the session..of the First Presby-
terrain Church.

In view of an article which appeared
in the local columns of the Wheeling
Erening Standard of Thursday, March
10Th, 1876, and which was headed New
P,esby,erian Church." the Session of the
Fl, t p .esb yterian Church have unsni-
mously taken the following action:
With regard to the organization OF a
new PRESBYTERIAN Church, We know
nothing, and do not feel called on now to
saw an ything. But we are concerned
with so much of the above mentioned ar
ticle as reflects on the present condition
OF the First Presbyterian Church. We
regard it as highly Objectionable in Its
substance and spirit, and as. calculated,
by its Misrepresentation, to do great IN
Jury to the Church and to its pastor.
We have therefore taken such steps as
have been practicable to ascertain the
source from which the ostensible infor-
nation contained in this article was re-
ceived. We have learned that there is
only one person who is responsible Tor II
At our request the editor of the Stand
ard has asked permission from this indl-
ylQuAl W no AIS
This permission he has declined to give
Thus he refuses to assume the response
bility for what he has caused TO be pub
lished 10 the world, to the injury, as we
conceive, of the cause which we repre-
sent. :
Under these circumstances, we wou &c
warn the public IN the future not to heed
any statements of similar character
which may proceed from any person
who does not give his name in connec
ton with them.
We regret the necessity for this pub
LEGATION. We have waited in the hop'
that in some other suitable manner th'
wrong done would be rectitied. But or
account OF the failure of this hope, anc
the refusal even of responsibility for tn
deed, we have no other adequate means
of indicating the cause committed u
our care, and of securing it in the future
from similar assaults.

REV. LAwsoN.-We mentioned several
days ago about Rev. Ephram Lawson
pastor of the colored Methodist church
this city, having been accused of having
seduced one of his flock, Caroline
Mozeay, who was delivered Of a chilli ,
few weeks ago, the Rev. gentleman hsv
Ing been announced as the father OF the
same. The charge was brought against
Lawson by an uncle of the girl, and when
the divine" wa: attending the colored
conference at Washington, ID. c.
warrant was sworn out by
some colored friend of the girl, which
Justice O'Kee.e issued and placed in the
hands Of Constable Rose, for the arrest OF
Lawson. As soon As he returned to this
city he WAS arrested on q charge Of bas-
tardy and taken before the above Justice
for trial. Lawson declared the whole al
fair was trumpted up and the charge
against him WAS the work of conspiracy
10 ruin hi: good name. Nevertheless he
gave bond in the sum of $3.50 to answer
the charge before the Court, Rev. DR.. J.
McKindry Reiley going on b. bond.
The Conference at Washington has
transferred Rev. Lawson to the Charles
ton Circuit. where he will leave FOR in q
few days.

BASE BALL.-FouLs and ST1kes-The
rules and regulations for the government
of the National Game" have been puo-
lished,- and for those interested we give
the material change from last year,
though of little difference.
The playing rules vary only slightly
from those Of last year, the most impor-
tant changes made consisting of called
strikes, running bases on foul-Hy balls
and returning to bases on foul ground
balls.
In regard to called strikes, the bats
man is allowed more latitude than he was
under the old rules. If he fails TO strike
at the first good ball delivered, then one
strike is called; if he fails again on the
second good ball, two strikes are called;
ard ii the third good ball passes unnotic-
ed, three strikes are not called, as Was
formerly the case, but warning is given,
and no judgment is rendered until
the fourth bali is pitched, when if 1t
should prove y good ball, and no notice
having been taken of it, three strikes are
called and the bstsmsn decided out. This
rule gives the bstsman one more chance
in his lavor than he had last year, but
we must confess that we like the rule OF
the Amateur convention on this subject
much better, it placing the bstsman on
even terms with the pitcher by allowing
six fair balls to pass the batsnan before
he can be decided out on strikes, and six
unfair balls delivered by the latter before
three balls called on him.
In regard. too, 10 running base on a
foul-hy ball caught. Last season the
base runner while he could leave his base
the moment Il fai:-fy was caught, could
not leave IN the case of foul.hy catch
until the pitcher had held the ball. This
season be can run base on foul-hy
catch the same as on fairly.
The change IN the rule bearing upos
the running of bases or foul balls con-
sists in allowing players to return to
bases without being put out. For in-
stance, last season if a player had made
good hit and earned his base, and the
batsman hit foul ball while the runner
was endeavoring to steal second, all that
was necessary to do to put him out war
to field the ball to the pitcher, and thence
to first base before he had regsined it.
This season the base runner is allowed
in such cases, TO retarn to the base with
out benin put out.
These constitute the most important
changes in the list. Without doubt they
will do much to materially improve the
game and make it more interesting, es-
especially those referring to
running bases on foul fly
balls caught, and returning to bases on
foul bails-two rules which we most
heartily approve of

MR.. IL. X. SIl.N EMS
DEAR SIR-This is To show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1854, with
Scruiula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg was
swe led more than twice its natural size.
He had several doctors of high standing IN
their profeSSiOn-twO from Boston and
three from Charlestown- without getting Il
bit better. He was Obliged 10 lie wherever
he was placed for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living We were told 10 try
Vegetfne, the great blood remedy and he
had taken IL out "a short time before we
could see "A great change. The sores run so
bad that we had To cnange the cloths four
or 1--WE times day. Still, he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himSclfa little. He was soon able 10
sit up in ped, and, by constant use of Vege-
tine, IL has cured him. He has lame leg,
which he will probably have for life: but
we all honestly believe II we had used
Negetine before we had Bothered with
those doctors. IL would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored IL To natural healta.
