Base Ball.

Last Sunday was the day appointed
for ball tossing between the 'Allwrights'
and ''Acmes' and in a business point Of
view of course the sporting fraternity
We're anxious to see goM clear
and bright day, but their hopes were
blasted: a. tho men were making
their way to tho grounds large black
clouds could be seen gathering with
signs Of a heavy shower, but as the boys
were intent on deciding the FIRST game Of
the series for the championship, they
cared naught for tho clouds.
At $3.50 o'clock game was called with
"Acmes' to tho bat and the "Allwrights'
to gambol on the green.

plate and pitcher, which gave him two
bases. c. Ware made lat. Kile took
second on call balls. H. Ware picked up
the bat and resolved to die" or bring
the boys in, he sent fly into left-field
which was gracefully handled by Kile
making double play. Greneaux step
ped in and stepped out quickly on q
foul. Scores-3.
"Acmes. '-Lecomte snatched tho bat
to belt the ball but was allowed by til.

We noticed in the last Waterbury Ilder, z nder the head of "Woodbury" news, the following item =
 "Now, Mir. Editor, don't consider that all of the people of this town are as far behind times as our original settlement quite up, if not little ahead of, the Knickerbocker metropolis. For pin-backS or bangs we are up to times, and our feminine creme de la creme can give the lovers call or whistle as we'll as, if not better than the New York pave, or any other accomplished duckey. Don't do so some more, girls-you don't know what it means"
 We have also heard specimens of ''that call" We agree with the correspondent, that we do not believe our good girls un- derotand it's significance, or they would be the last to use it. We have oftened wondered why woman will ever consent to whistle. It is mean enough in man. We can forgive a hen for attempti ng tc crow if she feels like it, but we have no M Nlpll c NOliidll. II NOIllSIl would only practice little, before mir TOT, and notice what a lovely shape it forces their ''coral lips" to assume, and the lovely" prominence it gives to their cheek bones, we feel assured they would never whistle again, unless they retired behind 0 barn or some other out-of-the- way place.
 So far as those most idiotic bangs are concerned, we cannot criticise our young women any more than others elsewhere. They simply follow the fashion, and most hideous one it is. If Providence had compelled them to stamp themselves as idiots in this way, from the beginning, we feel sure that they would long since have taken the advice given old Job by his friends, viz "Curse God and die"
 There has been much rowdyism here of late. After the final trial of the much adjourned Warner case, other members of the "band'-n the sWest Side or Curtis" s"-came 10 the front. Quite a number of them were arrested and fined s5 and cost each on their own plea of guilty. It is hoped that it will teach them lesson. They sadly need it. The

 Dear Sir Please send us at once, one quarter gross of your FAVORITE REM ED1. Your preparation has given uni- versal satisfaction to every person who has used it in this place.
 One lady who has purehased and used three bottles of the medicine, testifies on her own account to it's wonderful merit, while others speak in the most glowing terms of it's great healing powers. The question is often asked 'tIs it possible that this medicine gives the same satis- faction in all other places?" We used to sell Ayre's Sarsaparilla and Vegetine, but since we have been able to secure your FAVORITE REMEDY it has quite super seded the sale of these articles.
 We wish you would advertise it in this section. Although it would have to bear competition with other medicines, yet we are satisfied it would become the leading proprietary medicine of the day. Re- spectfully Yours,
