Quite an important case has arisen in the Mu-
ncipal Court in Portland. Mr.. David Miranda,
gentleman of the Jewish faith, is srraigned for
keeping open shop on the Lords day. Mr.. Mi.
isnda keeps cigar store on Congress street, and
for some time past has been in the habit of open
ing his shop Sunday morning and doing business
all day. lie closes Saturday and observes that
day as his Sunday, and claims right to do so.
The police have closed him up several times, but
after a while he refused TO be so disturbed unless
compelled to by the law, and has accordingly
asked that he may be brought to trial for a test
case. Ii is understood that his counsel will rest
bis case upon Sect. %, chapter l2f of the Revised
Statutes which read as follows
No person, consc ientiously believing that the
seventh day Of the week ought to be observed as
the Sabbath, and actually RETAINING from secular
business and labor on that day, shall be liable to
said penalties for doing such business or labor on
the first day Of the week. If he does not disturb
other persons.

The National Game

To those of our readers who take an interest in
the game of base ball the following facts which
we copy from the Philadelphia Times may not be
uninteresting as giving some information in re-
gard to the sport that Young America is proud to
call its own, and which every year is increasing in
popularity:
The first National Base Ball Association was es-
tablished in 1857, and the same has steadily i'm.
proved from wear to year, until it may be said it
has well-nigh reached peri, ction. Last year more
than two thousand clubs took the field, and over
fifty played as professional mines, the majority
comprising those of the League Association, the
International Alliance and the League Alliance.
The same s,ason witnessed the most extraordinary
games ever known IL May the Harvard Unver-
sity and Manchester profes. ionsls played twenty
four innings without either side scoring q run.
The finest exhibition ever was that between
the st. Louis Brown Stockings, and the Stars, of
Syracuse, play ed at st. Louis on the lst of May.
feen innings were contested without run, aud
with only ten errors in the whole game. 10 July
the Tecnmsehs, Of Canada, played the Buckeyes
at Columbus, Ohio, which ended IN draw after
eighteen innings, in which each side scored sin
gle Altogether there we've eight games
played IN which both sides were "whitewashed -
fifty in which the score was | to 0, and seven
which ended to |.
