OF the season was played at Presumpscot Park
between the Dirigos of this city and John L.
Whiting g. Sons nine of Boston, the cham
pions in the Commercial nine league of that
city.
The game was called promptly at $50 o'clock
and about 500 people witnessed it. The odds
were rather in favor Of the strangers, they be-
ing much heavier nine and in practice, while
the home team have had comparatively little
play to keep them in trim. As it was, how
ever, the boys played splendidly and made few
errors.
AT the close of the sixth innings the game
stood to against the Dirigos, but in the
seventh they got down to business and scored
four runs, and that closed their scoring. The
Writings played very strong game through
out and secured six runs.
During the game the umpire. Mr.. McI.ough-
lin, of Boston, was struck over the left eye by
foul tip from the bat. and SO badly hurt that
he was obliged to give up his position and be
under the care of physician. He was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Bresnahan, also of Boston.

Aroostook Matters.

SHERMAN MILLS, Aug Is, 1883.
The Shaw failure disturbs the citizens OF
Sherman and vicinity much less than might
have been supposed since they have an ex-
tract factory situated in town. The fact that
most of their help were transient men accounts
for it. The great amount Of hemlock STUN
page in this neighborhood owned by the Shaws
and the amount now at the factory, and pealed
in the woods, to be manufactured here, would
seem to preclude the probability at least that
the factory will long remain idle.
The hay season just passed has been unusu-
ally wet and unfavorable for getting hay in
good condition, but the crop has been 80 abund-
ant that even good merchantable hay must be
very cheap in the market the coming winter
Rust has made its appearance ON some fields
Of early potatoes, but if the weather turns dry
now, indications are that the crop will be good
a larger acreage than usual was planted last
spring in this town for which the Starch COM
pany have prepared by erecting a new dry
house and store house this season. All grain
crops are looking finely, and general indica-
ton of thrift is noticeable despite the theaten-
ed hard times. L. III. CALDWELL.

The Telegraphars.

According to instructions from headquarters
the Portland telegraph operators who have
been on the strike are now ready to go back to
work. Manager Liyermore says that he is two
men short of his usual force and that he will
employ two of the strikers next week. He
will not discharge those operators who assisted
during the strike but they will have perma-
nent situations. Booker, formerly in the Mu-
tual Union Office will remain in the Western
Union office and one Of the strikers will be
employed in his place in the Mutual Union
office. This will leave two of the strikers ont
of job and there are many more throughout
the country in the same situation. All the
first class operators will be taken back, but the
second class operators will nearly all find their
places filled when they apply for their old sit
nations.
