DEAF MUTE SERVICE An interesting SER
vice for deaf mutes was held last evening in
st. Luke Cathedral, Canon Hayes officiating
in the abserce of the Bishop. Several deaf
mutes residing in the city were present, and
the service was Interpreted for them in the sign
Language by Prof. Turner, deaf mute gradu-
ate of the Hartford Deaf and Dumb Asylum,
who has long been engaged in the instruction
OF his brethren in misfortune. Mr. Turner is
NOW preparing for ordination as an Episcopal
clergyman.
The sign language now in general use is very
different frora the old manual alphabet, repre-
senting ideas rather than words by single signs,
sometimes arbitrary or conventional, but often
highly expressive. The lesson from the New
Testament-The casting out of the deaf and
dumb spirit-was thus interpreted with such
natural and dramatic action as to be ineligible
at once to those unacquanted with the Ian.
guage.
A letter explaining the work of the Rev, DR..
Gallaudet, under whom Prof Turner is now
acting, was read by Mr.. Hayes, and repeated BY
Mr.. Turner to the deaf mutes. The Deaf Mute
Mission Of the Protestant Episcopal church
under DR.. Gallaudet, now provides occasional
ministrations for thousands of their class il

aware perhaps that there are $4,000 of thes'

vice, and many more, doubtless, will WELDON

DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE PuLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table Ingredients and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other RENE
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases. and if taken freely by consumptve
patients, it must do great nury for its tendency is
to confne the morbid matter in the system, which.
Of course, must make cure impossible. Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain q
particle OF opium 1t is composed of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver,
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions and expe all the diseased matter from the
body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only me 1icines which operate in this way, it is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for
Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this
invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters tor advice must be
addressed.

BASE BALI AT PREsUMsCoT PARK--There
was very fair attendance Wednesday after
noon at the Park grounds to witness the game
between the Reds of this city and the Bowdoins
of Bowdoin college. The game proved to be
verS interesting Notwithstanding the numerous
errors of both Mics. The Bowdons started off
with strong lead, and at the end of the fourth
running the score stood 6 to in their favor; the
sad accident to Ward, the Rod plucky catcher,
appeared to demoralzs the home club, and
Leighton, who went in to catch, seemed to be
entirely unnsrved and his errors for two or
three innings we're many and costly after the
fourth inning however he settled down to BUSH
ness, and By good batting by Thompson, Scott
and St. John in the fifth inning aided by errors
of the Bowdoins, the Reds scored four runs
one of them earned. From this point to the
end the Reds played strong steady game,
winning by 10 to s. The fielding errors were
about evenly divided between the two clubs.
but the Reds largely ontbatted the collegians,
who utterly failed to get ''Lhe hang" of Kicker
pitching, and ''three strikes and OUT was a
very frequent remark of Frank Barnes, the UNI
pire, who discharged his duties vel! and inn
partially. The following is the score:

MEMORIAL DAY AccIDENTs.-A very severe
accident occurred at the Park during the base
ball game. Patrick Ward, the catcher of the
Portland Reds, was running the first base,
when he caught his foot under the base and
broke both bones of his right leg between the
knee and ankle. DR.. Brooks who was on the
grounds was called, and tied up the limb sufi-
cient.y to allow the young man to be taken
home where it was set. 1t was a bad break,
and it will be some time before Ward will be
able to be out. He is poor and had just got a
position as waiter at the Falmouth hotel. Mr..
Adam p. Leighton very thoughtfully started a
contribution for him, and collected the sum of
$45 in short time. The home club also turned
over their share of the gate money. Ward was
playing unusually well at the time of the acci-
dent and bids fair to be one of the first catchers
in the state.
As Mrs. Sidney Thaxter was driving down
Congress street one of the forward wheels of
carriage in which she was driving came off, let
ting the axle on the pavements. This fright
ened the horse and it started to run. At Brown
street Mrs. Thaxter was thrown out and her
left arm broken. 1t was feared that she was
more seriously injured as she received a very
severe fail. The horse parted with the carriage
at the Preble house and then continued on
through Middle street. His feet were cut and
bruised up badly before he was caught
As MIR. Rufus Rand and friend were riding
on Mountfort street behind a young horse the
animal become contrary and in urging him to
proceed both gentlemen we're thrown out and
injured.
Mr.. Rufus Cushman while cut driving had
boil, shafts to his carriage broken short off.
AS Mr.. Carpet and family were riding in the
vicinity of Evergreen Cemetery, the horse be
came frightened by the music and upset the
carriage, breaking little girls arm and in
iuring the other occupants of the carriage.
AS Mr.. J. f. Sisk was riding on Pine street
in the evening a rein broke and the horse
started to run. Mr.. Sisk had the good sense
to remain in the carriage and by talking to the
horse quoted him down so as to prevent serious
consequences.
A fierce Newfoundland dog bit man in the
leg at the corner of Fore and Centre street aud
was promptly shot by the injured man.

Lemons
Lemons" the play, is like the beverage
made from the fruit of that name, inuocuous,
pleasing to the taste, but entirely wanting that
spirit which makes the mighty punch the
drink OF heroes. The mixture which Mr. DAILY
offers Tor the delectaton of the public palate
bears, however, suspicious resemblance to
the liquid which the man at the circus carries
about in trays and calls lemonade; it is thin,
and Its flavor is that of the acid of the shops,
not OF the real frnit. However, it is the drink
of the season, and tolerably refreshing
The play, one Of those three-act farces which
play-wrights agree to call comedies, was pref
tily gi7en at Fanny Marshs Theatre last night
by the excellent Fifth Avenue company. The
audience was not large, but was very appre-
ciative, and greatly amused at The many really
funny things in the comedy and. its ludicrous
situatoas. Indeed, pleasanter evenings
entertainment has not been offered at this
theatre. Oae can enjoy an ordinary play if it
be rendered by an excellent company.
