The base ball club of this place played the
West Nottingham Club, on Saturday last,
on the grounds of the latter, this being the
first match game for the former this season.
Min. innings were played and the score
stood nine to four, Rowlandsvile being
nine. The first six inings were fully equal
to any professional game as no runs were
made. 1t also has the credit of being the
best game ever played in the neighborhood,
and West Nottingham has long been brag
ging on her players. DAN.

STEAMBOAT BURNED The steam ferry
boat William G. UcCaN, that formerly ran
from Port Deposit to Lapidum, was de-
stroyed by fire on Wednesday morning last
The cause Of the accident is unknown.
There was a Waterman on board the boat
at the time the fire was discovered, but he
appears to have been asleep or otherwise
oblivous. This boat was owned by Mohr-
lein Il Holm and commanded by Emil
Holm, and was great convenience to the
citizens of Hartford and Cecil counties
She was a nice and tidy little boat and had
been rebuilt three years ago, and conse
quently was almost as good as new. She
was valued at $4,000 and was insured for
81, 800. Cecil and Hartford counties appro-
priated something for the support of this
ferry, and we believe the proprietors will
procure themselves new boat, so that
travellers, who wish to cross the river at
Port, will not be under the necessity of
going to Conowingo bridge.

YOUTHFUL DEPREDAToRs.- Sunday
last, three boys named Lang, residents of
Little Elk, ranging in age from seven to
fourteen years, entered the melon patch of
DR.. r. c. Mackall near the Landing, and
destroyed nearly all the fruit in it. the
melons were not quite ripe, which fact
accounts for the wholesale destruction made
by them, for being determined to have a
feast of the juicy fruit, if it was in the
patch in condition to eat, they went from
melon to melon, slashing them open, look
ing for one to suit, until they had in this
manner rendered worthless eighty eight
melons. Failing to find ripe fruit of this
kind, they then visited the cantaloupe patch
and went through the same process, de-
stroying large quantity. The doctor dis
covered and went for them, and succeeded
in capturing the youngest of the party.
He handed him over to his parents, who
promised to wrestle with each of the trio
with stout hickory.

days previous to his departure from among
them, he was much surprised to see one
after another of his eleven brothers and
sisters dropping in at the home of James
X. Brown, of Elk Mills, Chester county,
where he was then visiting. AS the num-
Der increased his surprise increased ae-
cordingly until all had arrived except two
families, when he came to the conclusion
that they would be along in due time and
that he would cease being surprised. At
twelve o'clock the twelve brothers and sis,

MRS. CLARK'S COSTUME
WHAT A FRYING REPORTER SAW
AND HEARD AT A COUNCIL OF
FEMALE REPORMERS.

At precisely fifteen minutes tc
three o'clock yesterday, an attenu
ated lady with the light of truth
beaming on the end of her nose and
a big bundle under her arm, skipped
up the stairway leading 20 An

ham, LII. d., F. r. s., the great
moral reformer of the age. The
Nicegerent greeted the attenuated
female with holy smirk and a
warm grasp of the hand, and after q
moments sweet communion ushered
her into the hall. The lady was the
good Mrs. Clark, champion of the
dress reformers, and the bundle
tpnaer her arm contained something
EAich. she wished to show TO the
ladies who we're expected to be pres.
ent in the hall when she entered.
Having entered the room, Mrs.
Clark observed with considerable
chagrin that there were but two
persons present. One was lady in
black, with watery eyes and silvery
hair. The other was a Chronicle
reporter, rather awkwardly gotten
up in female attire. The latter wore
a big hustle, three false curls, a
black alpaca dress and a short
jacket that displayed his beautiful
form to perfection. He sat in fear
and trembling lest his sex should be
discovered, but happily he escaped
close scrutiny. Mrs. Clark mounted
the platform, and. after waiting
patiently, though in vain, for an
audience, proceeded to unite her
bundle.
First, however, she beckoned to
DIR. Pinkham. That celestial being
came forward, and, tripping up to
the platform, stood, with a heavenly
smile, awaiting orders. "Doctor,"
she said, "stand at the door, please,
