BAsEBALL.-The baseball club fthis place
accepted an invitation to play the Uniontown
club on the grounds OF ihe latter on Friday
last.
Our boys were IN It at Linwood and taken
over in con'eyanceS, were served with
good dinner, treated in the most hospitable
manner possible and again conveyed to the
tran in the evening. Everybody was pleas
ed with the trip and speak in the highest
terms Of the courtesy shown them by the
Uniontown club.
The game was close enough to be exciting
throughout and our boys say that it is the
first uphill game they ever played and won.
AS will be seen by the score, they were be-
hind until the seventh inning, when they
whacked things around lively for six runs.
The features of the game were the excep
tionally good score made by Anders of the
Uniontown club, nearly as well done by Stull
of the Mcchanicstown club, three f1ys by
Anders of the latter club and home run by
Fuss of the Uniontown club. Another fea-
ture notably absent in ol games played here
was the quiet Of the small boy.
We give the score by innings.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1884.

From the edition Of Messrs. Geo. p.
Rowell G. Co.'S American Newspaper
Directory, now in press, it appears that
the newspapers and periodicals of all
kinds at present issued in the United
States and Canada reach grand total
of ID, 402. This is net gain OF pre-
cisely 1000 during the last II months,
and exhibits an increase of 5,618 over
the total number published just ten
years since. The increase in 1874 over
the total for 1873 was 1913. During
the past year the dailies have increased
from l, 139 to 1854 the weeklies from
9, 062 to 10,O2S; and the monthlies
from l, 091 to 1, 400. The greatest i'll
crease is IN the Western States. Hi
nois, for instance, now shows l, O09
papers in place of last years total OF
904, while Missouri issues GOA instead
of the 523 reported in 1883. Other
leading Western States also exhibit a
great percentage of increase. The total
number of papers in New York State is
1923, against ], 399 in 1883. Canada
has sharedin the general increase.

IT now looks as though Mr.. Arthur
is likely to be slaughtered in the house
of his friends. Instead of having fair
share of his state delegation he may not
have enough of them to make decent
showing in the Chicago convention. The
Nineteenth district has elected divided
delegation the Monroe district, which
includes Rochester, has chosen anti
Arthur delegates, and the First assem-
bly, district for Jefferson county has in
structed its delegates for Blaine. The
district convention for the counties Of
Fulton and Hamilton adopted resolu-
lions commencing the administration,
BUT opposing the nomination of Arthur,
and chose delegates friendly to either
Blaine or Edmunds. The second dis
trict of Wayne county selected a dele
cation very hostile to Arthur, and the
Steuben county convention was a thor
oughly Blaine body. The President S
forces in New York are very backward
in coming forward Republican.
