BASE BALL.

Last Saturday was gala day 10 Row
lesburg. The Kingwood Base Ball club
and Delta Base Ball club met on the dja-
mond field for the second time 10 play for
the championship Of Preston county. The
Kingwood club arrived In RJwlesburg
about $40 a m, Their arrival In RDwles-
burg Was the signal for the lovers Of the
base ball sport 10 prepare for the game.
Every man, womsn and child seemed aux
!ous for the game. This was 10 be the
game OF the season, and In all probability
the last. Your reporter took a stroll
among the knowing ones,to get their opin
ions and predictions of the game. With
few EXCEPTIONS he found the Kingwood
club the favorite with The betting men.
Wien asked my iovial old friend. Mr..
Snyder, OF tae Commercial Hotel, which
club would carry off the prize, ne said +:
'Ab our boys will come out of the base
ball field over there with flying colors !
The Kingwood club, have no doubt. is a
good one, but have marshalled my boys
and told them TO hoist no flag but the flag
of victory. l am TO prophet, nor am l
the son of prophet, but all the prophets
OF ancienu and modern times cannot pre-
dict defeat tor our boys and be right Z and
with smiling face, the sage of Il Jwlrs
burg said he would see me later.
According TO arrangements, the king
wood club dined at IL O'Clock. AS early
as IL O'Clock the people we're seen wepd-
ing their way TO the base ball ground. By
1:3O p. m., about 800 spectators had as =
sembled. Both clubs were ready and the
captains tosseI the eagle in the air. Cam.

playing was grand. The spectators be-
came wild with enthusiasm at their splen-
die playing. Men and boys hurrahed and
threw up their hats, while the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs to give vent to their
admiration and appreciation OF the game.
The players were In the best of humor
themselves, snd their jOcular remarks at
The goose eggs being placed on the tally
sheet reigucd supreme. No vulgar or
prOfane language WAS heard on the ground.
The spectators made no distinction In
their cheering and applause. All good
plays were applNuded, whether made by
the hinawOOd club or the Deltas All
agreed that II was the best game of base
ball ever played on Preston county soil,
and those who were so unfortunate as To
miss the game, missed rare treat.
A pleasant episode occurred lust after
the game closed. The young ladies of
hoWlesburR, having learned through the
ARGUS that the KingwOod Base Ball club
was composed of the handtomest men Ia
the couDty-not only handsome, but in
telligent and gentlemen besides-resulyed
upon plan To show their KIDgwood sis
ters that while they believe the Deltas the
champions Of Preston county. tney are ar
dent admirers Of handsome z. nilemen.
! And as token of their admiration of the
handsome KingwOod boys, they prepared
ooqnet Of natural flowers for each mem.

TIE election 10 Ohio is over and
toe excitement which Was al high
state lie also over. The result Of the
Ono election was a matter of inter
est, not ouly TO the people of that
State, but to the people OF the whole
American nation. More interest was
manifested iD the result Of TuegdaT's
vote 10 Ohio, throughout the whole
country, than perhaps has ever be-
lore Feen manifested 10 State cleo
ton in an of year" O1e reason
i5r his was, that OHIO has Tor years
been The main standby Of one of the
great political parties of the country.
and from whose RANKS haa been chosen
its last two presidential candidates,
coupled with the fact that Ohio be-
g'n a October State, and it being the
year preceding the Presidential elee-
lion, tile result would naturally be
eomv indication OF what may be e1-
vected in 1884.
Another, and perhaps a more po-
tent reason for the public anxiety
10 regard to OHIO, was, that the
people bad not forgotten the great
Political tidal wave that swept the
country from the Pacific to the Allan
tic at lest years elections. Whether
the feeling that resulted il such a
sweeping change aud caused such an
unlocked for revolution, would be
permanent, or not, was the thought
tlat disturbed the mind Of the BODY
poht.c. The Olio election was the
fret opportunity given to judge Of
the matter, and the positiou that
that State occupied in the politics Of
the country, the ehrewduess and I'M
questionable skill u the political
leaders in The present contest and
the determination with which both
parties carried on the battle, made

MUSIC II CHURCHES.

Bishop Ryle, addressing large audi
ence at the annual festival meeting of the
Liverpool church of England Sunday
school Institute, said that he had always
held singing to be one of the most import
ant parts of Christian worship, and the
brightest times of the church when true
religion had hourished most, had always
been when praise and singing of hymns
formed the greatest part of the service of
the congregation. Where there had been
poor singing there had generally been very
psor worship; and, indeed, years ago, when
those great men whose names should never
be mentioned without honor-Tohn Wes-
ley and Charles Wesley-revived the re
ligion Of the church of England, one great
mark of the revival was the improvement
Of singing and the composition of hymns,
that had lived to the present day and were
sung by almost every congregation in the
land In contemplating the religious
divisions of the present day, one thing
gave him light and comfsrt, and that was
the universal feeling that existed that they
should have better singing and better
praise more congregational singing, more
hearty singing-S0utheyn CItalrcH1ann
