On Saturday last, at Home wood

club and the Academy club crossed bats.

but for errors. Considerable practice is
nee ded to bring the clubs to an ordinary
standing, There are some good players
in both clubs, while few cannot play
but little. The game was quite interest
ing throughout, and at times the errors
made were very laughabIe. The boys all
played well, and deserve credit for what
they did. After the fifth inning the
game was one-sided, the Academy club
being II considerable number of runs
ahead. Sam Polk of the Academy nne
was injured by one of Ernest Haynes
swift curves, striking him on the thumb.
The position was filled by Edward Pur-

Flower Thieves.

Many of the citizens of our town have
made their lawns and front yards very
attractive and beautiful, by the culture
of flowers and shrubbery. This is an
advantage to the town, and these beauti-
full things can be enjoyed by all who pass
along our streets. But complaints are
made that some vicious persons break
and steal these flowere and shrubs to the
annoyance and injury of the owners and
the public. Such evil disposed persons
are subject to punishment for their petty
thefts; and we sincerely hope the injured
parties will enforce the law against them.
Let an example be made of all such.

The last monthly meeting of the Ladies
Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church,
which met at the residence of DR.. Kol-
lock on Monday evening of this week,
was one of particular interest to the
members. Apart from. the regular rou-
tine OF the Society, package and apron
auction was part Of the program, and
the proceeds of this novel institution
were over $11.00. The first appearance
of the 'shorn lamb created considerable
amusement among the party. The meet
ings of this Society are always interest
ing, and consequently well attended. At
the next regular meeting a lunch party
will take place, the novelty of which
will no doubt create considerable interest
and merriment.

The scene at the sale of ponies and
mules in the Washington Hotel yard,
Monday afternoon. The stock was
bought in Mexico and sent on here a
week or two since. They seemed to take
delight in rushing pell-mell from one
corner of the yard to another, The at
tendance was rather large, and when the
mules and ponies took it into their heads
to charge, the crowd fell back, pell-mell, in
disorder. Six of the muleships were tied
together by means of ropes, and chains,
and at one time they became so mixed
that it was difficult to tell whether the
string were coming toward or going
from you. The auctioneer endeavOred to
describe pair, but it was too much of
puzzle to tell which pair of the bunch he
was giving the points on. The order was
then given to cut the ropes. This was
easier said than done. Horseman No. /,
quietly approached the wary foe, knife in
hand. When he had gotten pretty close
on the windward side, his muleship made
uble-back-action movement, and No.
1 was observed clearing five-railed
fence. Horse-man No. then volunteer
ed to show the "boys" something. He
had not advanced many steps before the
the muleship brigade opened up their
gattling guns. The effect was instan-
taneous. No. 2 may recover, but the
chances are against him. This fired the
crowd to anger, and general order was
issued to "close i'm on the "battery."
This was attempted, and at one time it
seemed that success would be gained. 1t
was only momentarily. The "battery"
right-wheeled and charged. The cripples
were removed from the field as soon as
the smoke DUST cleared away. BY this
time the mules had become so thoroughly
tangled that they were easily approached
and the rope cut that bound them so
tightly together. The ponies brought
from $50 to $50, and the mules, $40 to
| $3.50 per pair.

a funny scene occurred in the Sens
ate of the United States on the day
that Willard Saulsbury's last term
expired. just before II o'clock on that
day, at which hour his time was up, he
took the floor to speak to some ques-
ton in which he was deeply interested.
Vice-President Colfax permitted him
to run along till fifteen minutes past
time, and then the V. P. began to
hitch and fidget in his chair. Finally,
Colfax, rapping, said:
THE Senator from Delaware is out
of order, and will please take his seat"
81 am not out of order, Mr.. Presi-
dentl" Numbered the bibulous Willard
in response. do you think | do not
know when l am out of order, sir?"
And then he plunged into his sud
ject again.
Colfax turned, and twisted, and
then raped again:
"The Senator from Delaware is out
of order, and he will take his seat"
This was too much for the now irate
Senator, and he was about launching
one of the scorching phillipics he was
so capable of uttering at the devoted
head of the Vice-President, when the
latter interposed with:
Gone moment-the Senator from
Delaware is out of order because his
term has expired"
For moment Salisbury stood in
utter amazement, and then blurted out.
"By thunder, Mr.. President, really
forgot that little circumstance, and
will now close my remarks" and then
for fifteen minutes more the strange
scene was presented of a private indi>
vidual addressing the Senate of the
United States in full session. And
Salisbury afterward boosted that he
was the only man on record "who eyer
served single term of over six years
in the Senate of the United States. -
