in cotton, to represent snow ow--purlty,
These were set up in the Court House
and the presents for the little ones
placed thereon, and by the aid of the
three large lamps presented a rich and
beautiful appearance. Back of the
trees in silvery letters were the words:

After Sunday Rnsa Hall.

While it is true, a. stated elsewhere,
that the Directors Of the Tri-Stste League
have been talking to Mrs. schrsmm about
leasing or purchasing near the ferry for a
ball ground, the real object is to lease
or purchase the Barnard Island.
Mr. Barnard has refused to lease,
but without fully understanding
their purpose he put a price upon the
island at which he would sell, which the
directors are likely TO accept and purchase
it. They cannot have Sunday games on
the Wheeling Island fair grounds, and
they say they cannot keep up the league
unless they can play on Sunday. With
this object in view, they propose to pur-
chase the island, where they can hold Sun
