The amount of knowledge which some of
the fair sex have concerning the great national
game was shown during the recent contest
in this city between the home club and the
Baths. Among the spectators on the grand
stand was young lady who evidently SYM
pathized very strongly with the Bath boys,
and very loyal in her support of their side.
The more she watched Underwood's pitching
the more evident became her disgust with it,
aud she finally exclaimed impatiently, sid
like really to know why they keep that fell
low there. He can't pitch atall. Why none
of our boys can hit the ball-the idea-a-oh!'
and none of the Augusta girls dared contra
dict her though all were ready to vouch for
Underwood as pitcher. The young lady's
statement was so apparently true, however,
that as one of them expressed it, I'VE
couldn't say q word"

There will be total eclipse of the moon
July 22d.-The phenomenon will in general
be a repetition of that witnessed by sub
stantially the whole population on January
2sth last, One difference will be that the
forthcoming eclipse takes place near mid
night, while the former one was observable
Immediately after sunset when the moon rose
partially eclipsed. Another difference for
the expert observer will be that the appar-
ent path of the moon will be in another part
of the sky, bringing another set of stars in
to occultation.

Gold in Presque Isle County.

The editor of the Advance and
Capt. p. Cornevin, our county survey
or, have been examining the suppos-
ed marble quarry bought from Mahr-
tens by the Detroit syndicate for mar
BILE and cement. Both gentlemen are
experienced miners of quartz rock
and came to the conclusion that the
Detroit company saw something bet
ter than marble OH the land bought
from Mahrtens. Men we're put to
work on the adjacent lands, where the
ledge cropped out, and samples sent
to Chas. E. Wright, State geologist,
and head of the Marquette College,
for assay. The result is that the sur
face quartz Of calespar, etc, contains
both gold and silver to the extent of
nearly two dollars per ton six feet
from the surface. An idea of the value
of this discovery may be arrived at
from the fact that the Ropes mine, in
Lake Superior, pays a dividend on
$3.40 per ton at 500 feet below the
surface. The ore sent for assay from
this county, was from solid quartz
rock not six feet from the surface
Drilling, blasting and quarrying is
now going on and every foot deeper
shows the ore in richer quality. 1t is
in class of rock (conglomerate, por-
phyritic and stratefed) not heretofore
supposed to exist in the Lower PENN
sula.-Presque Isle Advance.

keeping the electric fluid off the wires
The telephone poles of the railway
company are, with few exceptions,
used for the telegraph wire. The
changing of the wire from the old
route to the railroad line, will be APP
preciated by the citizens who have
telegraph business, as it will not be SO
likely to get broken by falling trees.
The present line is in very bad con-
dition, and almost every strong wind
breaks it and disarranges the tele-
graph business and discommodes the
citizens. An operator will probably
be placed at the depot, and railroad
messages can be sent by telegraph in
stead of telephone. The Western
Union Telegraph company has been
long time in getting decent and relia-
BILE telegraph communication to this
city.

known are these beautiful spectacles
that to most people it is unnecessary
to say more than that we have them
for sale but as this may fall into the
hands of some unacquainted with their
merits, we would add that on account
of the form of the lenses the wearer
can see through all portions of the
glass with equal distinctness.
They are Very Hard and therefore
retain their beautiful polish with
many years use,
Their pellucid clearness renders
their use both pleasant and agreeable
to the most sensitive eyes.
Beware of peddlers claiming to sell
them. The genuine have Bertier

The burnt district in the Third
ward no longer presents dismal ap.
pearance. 1t is now scene of life
and hustle, being well dotted over
with new buildings. The early part
of this week we made an investiga-
ton of the building going on and
found close to ninety buildings had
been already erected, and, besides a
number of others where the founda-
tions have been laid. We believe
that more than half of the burned
dwellings have been replaced by new
ones, and, in general, they are better
than the old ones. Many of residences
already occupied by the owners, and
some are painted. Lake street has
the most residences on it, and Mills
street comes next. Before winter
comes the burnt district will be near
ly all rebuilt, and present an appear
ance far superior to what it was be-
fore the fire. Money and persever-
ance will accomplish wonders in re-
moving the destroying effects of a
big fire.

1t seems as if the wharf where the
Detroit & Cleveland steamers land, at
this city, will have to be enlarged in
order to find room for the people who
flock there when the steamers arrive,
and especially on Sunday nights, just
merely for curiosity. 1t seems as if
an elevated passage way will also
have to be erected above the heads of
the dense crowds that gather there
and block up the passage and fill the
steamer. Something will have to be
done, so that people can get ashore.
1t is also a wonder that several per-
sons have not been crowded off the
wharf and drowned. There ought to
be some change from the present sys-
tenn.
