TIA # GAME OF BALL.

EDS. OF TEIBuNE:-Our fatherless
creatures, the Orphans, met with o
warm and hoistrous reception at
Dodgeville on Friday, but thanks
be, not at the hands of the Fleecers,
who are fair players, yet hardly
sllilllnl enough to wrestle the pea
nut from their envied and seeming
ly hated visitors, should fairness
meet justice. AS rule the visiting
club is entitled the choice of umpire.
UUhout ogsy oter ofre,card, a young
man of Warren known here only for
honest reputation, was asked to
come up and umpire the game. sup
posing the Dodgeville club would
acquiesce cheerlully. Bat no, they
kicked in such an unbecomming
manner that should hive stopped
the beginning of the game. There
being n large delegation present
from Mineral Point, however, the
Orphans were persuaded to play
with Dodgeville's choice of umpire,
young Carter of Platteville, visitor
there, who took his station With
a pompous mien as composed and
thoughtful as If he actually ment to
deal out justice. The game con-
mepced and, AZ the ORPHANS grad
ulaly drew ahead, SO gradually
did the sympa,hies Of the UNI
pire lean toward the F)eecers
In the seventh inning, after bearing
with the heavy pressure of the um-
pire beyond the endurance of ordin-
ary patience, the Orphans did
''squeep with q vengeance, and left
the field-just what might yeasona-
bly, have been done before. Then
followed the music. From the split
haired gent and the so-caled tony
Miss down to the gnttcr-snipes, came
one contipual insulting strain.
Young Carter might do to illumi
nate the halls Of Congress, in due
time, but as an umpire over q base
ball match he is as useless as a
pocket on the yump Of frog. In
Dodgeville are quite a number of
homes. men who readily acknowledge
the illtreatment Of the Orphans, and
to them we are grateful for their
unbiased opinions. In conclusion |
will say, this year the Fleecers have
met their betters in Iowa county.

WE heard lately of joke on an

a country subscriber: "You know

town. If | get any more such letters
as received last week, | viii come

The minister answered: 81 have

if you will really come to town and
maui it out of him, then, my dear
sir, | have twenty members of my
church | will also get you to oper-

TiIE excursion 10 Dubuque last
Thnrsday under the auspices of tho
Temple of Honor, proved to be the
largest ever left Mineral Point. At
an extremely early hour before the
departure of the train people from
adjoining bergs, together with our
citizens, could be seen in hocks
vending their way to the depot,
ladened with GRUB" baskets, paper
parcels, shawls, busters and other
essentials Of comfort. The band
struck upon livery note at the
depot, adding fuel to the anxiety
and excitement of the pleasure seek
ers. 4 puff aud snort aud the
iron horse got off with six coaches
crammed TO their utmost capacity.
On reaching Darlington two moro
coaches were coupled on TO accommo-
date those in waiting there, aud at
Riverside station another coach was
added to the string. On to Warren
then away they went buzzing Ger
the Illinois Central as happy II
throng Of humanity as ever set foot
on rail East Dubuque and tho
laughing waters Of the Mississippi
were soon brought forth to view.
The ferry boat was Whiting servant
and became filled to jam immedi-
ateIy 10y those who seeked to dine
"oyer there" at the hotels and res
taurants, while others withdrew with
their baskets to some cosy nook, and
then they too songht the city and
its beauties. The afternoon was oc-
cnpled in many ways, according to
taste. Some chose to see base ball,
others secured rigs and drove ia all
directions, others "hoofed it" till
Dubuque became spotted as Loop
ard with elated excursionists.
Time slipped hastily on, and short
ly they commenced to lock
for the ferry with stride that show
Cd veariness. Yet the expression Of
satisfaction was kniS on every brow.
At 6 o'clock the shrilI cry of the
condnc call aboard p ruDg out,
and DubuQae was left behind. The
train arrived home at 1880, landing
safely her precious load.
On the whole It was o most sue
cessful affair. Harmony and una
ninhy Of feeling characterized the
whole. Not jar or discord marred
the pleasures of the day. The aged,
the youth, the maiden, all joined
hands and partook freely of the bowl
of happiness. Joyous and grand
was the excursion, and long will it
be remembered by those who were
fortunate in being among the party.

a man will start out from some large
carriage manufactory with one or
more cars loaded with buggies. He
will stop at the country towns along
t.Ie route, and hold an auction sale,
the town having been billed and the
auction advertised. The bidding is
spirited, and the carriages will be
knocked down, at first, as high as
$95. After these large bids are
harvested, he will take lower ones,
until the bids drop as low as S25,
when he retires from The field and
goes on to the next town. The
buggies cost the manufacturers Just
S24 apiece.

as those who charged on NJ. J. Briggs,
Esq, of Dodgeville, with eggs, on
Monday evening, while that gentle
man was riding through our streets.
The offense is great and disgrace
to Mineral Point. 1t is thought by
some that the boys were put up to
it by an older head, ard if so the
cowardly act ought to condemn
him beyond recognition as Il citizen
