The game of base ball last Friday
between a nine from Lancaster and
the Enterprise club of Island Pond re-
suited in victory for the latter by a
score of IS to 8. The first part of the
game was remarkably close and well
contested, but ere the completion of
the fourth inning the pitcher for the
visitors was compelled to return home
which caused bad break in the eff
fectiveness of their play, they not be-
ing able to secure another run through
out the remainder of the game. As
the visiting club was to remain here
over night, the boys arranged for So
cial dance in the evening which was
we'll attended. The Lancaster boys
left for home Saturday morning, ex-
pressing themselves as highly pleased
with their treatment and entertain
ment here.

Last Sunday afternoon widow and
five children were discovered at the
depot almost starving. The poor
woman's story was II sad one. She
was penniless, and had come all the
way from California, where her hus-
band had met his death in a mine,
and was going to her relatives in Port
land, Ne. Her oldest boy, only II years
old, had lost his right arm at the
shoulder, while the youngest child, a
babe at the breast, was indeed in a
pitiable condition, the mother being
unable to impart natural nourish-
ment to it, simply through sheer eX-
haustion and a lack of food. 1t is
needless to add that as soon as her
story became known kind hands i'm
mediately relieved her wants, also
raised q sufficient sum of money to as
sist her during the remainder of her
journey. She departed on Monday
morning much happier woman than
when she arrived here.

1t is asserted by the Temperance Voice
that, although the statistics compiled
from the United States revenue returns
indicate no increase in the consumption of
whisky Per capita during the last twenty
five years, yet if we take into account
crooked" whisky-that is, whisky that
paid no taX-whisky in bond, and dminu-
ton in the use of whisky for certain medi-
cal purposes, q great increase of whisky
drinking is indicated. The common fig
uring is thatin 1884 55,000, 600 people in the
United States consumed less spirits than
