Foot Bali.

A permanent organization of foot ball
club will be consummated 10 Davenport on
Monday evening, and they will play the
Clinton club 90 Thursday next. The
members Of the Davenport club include
the following: Geo. French, Walter
French, Harry GlaspeI.J ohn Gtier. j ames
Fleming, Ira Clifford, Charles Morley,
James Graham, John Dow, and Charles
Lower, some of whom are experienced
play ers. Foot ball, it is intimated, will be
as popular in the future as base ball in the
past And now just as the general public
we're becoming fully initiated into the mys-
teries Of strike, foul fly, base on error,
home run and the other quirks of base
ball, it finds q new course Of instruction
needed in goals, touchdowns, punt outs,
kick. offs, kick-ins, drop-kicks, and various
other kinds of kicks known to the science
of football OF old, our study was d.
rected to players as short stops, centre
fields, first bases, and SO on; but now oul
visions are forwards, backs,and half backs
Where once our sympathies were wrought
up by Furnishing the pitcher, they are now
stirred by maui in goal. The day of q
special lexicon Of youth for popular sport.
can be plainly ioreseen.

During the past few days IA head Of
cattle belonging to WIN. Coyne, Of Bow
ling township, and seven head belonging
to John TiDdall, have been stolen from the
pasture Of the former. They were last
seen en- the 18th, and as the fences are
not down, the idea that they have broken
out and strayed has been given up by both
gentlemen, and it is pretty sure that
somebody has stolen the herd. A liberal
reward will be paid Tor any information
which will lead to the arrest of the thieves
or the recovery Of the cattle.
