Base Ball.-The base ball season was
opened on Monday last in this county with
a game at the Fair Grounds between the Mont
gomery and Snake Den clubs. The result was
favorable to the former, the score being % TO g..
The interest in this game by spectators
never flags. 1t is healthy and develops the
muscles and the minds. To become an expert
the mind must just as necessarily be exercised
as the physical strength. quick mind TO
gaia advantage will win over gawky strength
With this recommendation we suggest
meeting of all the clubs of the county to set
tie upon some valuable prize to be presented 10
the champion club of series of games, the
prize to be bought with an equal contribution
from each club. There is plenty of good
material in the county with the aid of Ii tile
practice, to excite much interest in the contests
that would follow.

has under his training great many blooded

was exercising some of his pets. Hi graceful
driving, kind treatment to the horses and the
interest he manifested in his work, with hi:

Readings.-Mrs. Dillehunts reading at
the Baptist church on Monday evening last
was well attended and much enjoyed Upon
hearing her the second time we were more
convinced of the business of our criticism in
last weeks issue and ofher ability as a skillful
elocutionist There is but one suggestion more
that we can make in regard to her selections
that her success would be more decided if she
recited pieces where facial effect is required
Entertainments of this character should be
more frequent in this community, for nothing
speaks so well for neighborhood as a hearty
and genuine support of entertaining and in
tellectual amusements. We congratulate Mrs
Dillehunt upon the success of her effort and
the appreciation that she awakened in her
audience, and wish her equal success in every
part of the county that she may visit.

The New Jury Law new Jury
Law, which was passed by the Legislature at
It's late session, was approved April LIST, 1878,
takes effect from the date of its passage and is
now law. The act is a general one, applies
to the Courts of all the counties. The respect
in which it differs from the old law is sub
stantially, that of the forty-eght jurors sum-
moned, il is not known, until the commence
ment Of the term, who are to act as grand or
who as petit jurors, after the selection of the
foreman of the grand jury by the Court, the
remaining forty-seven names being put again
IN the box and again drawn, the first twenty
two names drawn, with the foreman, consti-
tuting the grand, the others the petit jury
The object of the law appears to have been to
prevent tampering with jurors, interested
sui'ors and even the jurors themselves not
knowing until the commencement of Court
which is which or who is TO work upstairs
and who down.

Large Reward-With commendable
zeal for the protection of the property Of our
citizens the County Commissioners have offered
a reward Of $500 for the apprehension and
conviction Of the base miscreants who burned
the barn Of Mr.. A. f Boswell and the stable
and other buildings Of Sam'l Jones short
time ago. 1t is TO be hoped this laudabe effort
Of our public guardians may result in bring
the guilty to justice. Due notice Of this
action has been given both in papers and by
hand-bills and it will no doubt have the effect
of stimulating detectives to look out for the
guilty parties.

The Crops.-The Indications SO far all
point to the coming crops as good ones. The
refreshing rains have been an excellent thing
for the grain Almost everywhere it is fresh
and green. and the yield will be probably
up to that Of last year. The outlook 10 all
kinds Of business is matter Of importance,
but the foundation of all prosperity is agri-
culture, and while we have plenty Of grain to
feed our people and to export to distant mar
ksts, our country at large will still be pros

f. l.. Moore, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about the
Haymaker, | will refer briefly to my ex-
pcrleqce with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Threshers
and Horse Powers, two combined Reap
ers and Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece of
machinery | have had on my farm. On
It's introduction here | was induced to
try one, Notwithstanding my repugnancc
to It's mysterious II otion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the ease with
which heavy and even weedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, and as a Lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal, cut
ting as it does close under trees and
up to shrubs and plants. The expenses
so far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, .half-a-dozen sections, which are
still on hand. My man says be has one
fault with the Huymaker, it does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind his team.

at the point begins rotary motion, 40

An Eccentric Clergyman.

TT is now near twenty years since
i Father Newell, as he was called,
happened to be in Charleston during the
pastoral vacation, and was invited to
preach in the old Circular Church, then
as venerable as st. Michael's. The COM
mittee heard more of him, and of his
eccentricities, in which he rivaled Lo-
renzo Dow, and resolved to give him a
friendly hint on the Sabbath. They did
so, saying that he must not forget that
he was in the great city of Charleston,
and was to preach in fine church to
very refined audience.
There was an ominous smile, as he
said he would remember.
Service commenced, and hymn and
prayer were not much out of the COM
mon, save with more power in them,
and the committee on pulpit supply be-
gan TO breathe freely, and to use their
fans and handkercbiefs.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-03-26

1t was time to preach, and old Newell
got up. He looked all around, and upat
the gallery, crowded with the quadroon
and mulatto nurses and servants of the
quality, and then he began
I" am told / must be careful what /
say to-day, for this Is refined church
and refined city, and / am TO preach
TO u very refined audience. 1 have
been looking around for the refinement,
and see 1t. You refine 81 thing when
you take it in its coarse state, like black
molasses or yellow sugar, and make IL
white and fine You bring a ship load
of negroes to this city of Charleston,
and every face is so black 1t would cast
shadow on a chimney back and the
hair is as kinkya as theological students
ideas. You keep them in Charleston
one hundred years, and to save my soul
l can't tell, half the time, the negro
from the white man, nor the quadroon
nurse from the child's mother, nor the
yellow girl from the white, only she
amt so bilious. Yes own up to you.
You are a powerfully refining people,
and ! give you glory for doing it all
for the Lord amt no hand it it, It's
your refinement, for God Almighty
never made mulatto nor q mule"
Then he preached to as humble con
gregation as he ever had in the back
woods of Elbert. But he was not asked
again.

tsg- The penetrating winds incident to this
season of the year are a severe ordeal for the
lungs. The neglect of hard cough generally
leads to a weakness Of the lungs, which, not
lnfrequently, results In Consumption.
schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup will at once re-
lieve and loosen tight cough, and is such an
agreeable remedy that children will take 1t
without being coaxed. A cold on the lungs, If
consumption Is not already developed, may be
easily mastered by the use of the Pulmonic
Syrup, together with schenck's Mandrake Pills
to clear the system of the accumulated mucus.
In more serious cases, where the disease has
become deeply seated, amp the patient suffers
from loss of appetite, weakness and emacla-

the digestive powers into healthy action, there
by sustaining the strength of the patient and
enabling him to resist the progress of the dis
ease until the Pulmonlc Syrup may perform its
