new grounds of the New Castle Base
Ball Club began this morning. The
grounds will be laid out and placed In an
excellent condition for good ball playing.
Many young men have volunteered to
help in the work and, with the assist
ance Of some hired labor, everything win

boys warm reception on Friday next.
The grounds will be formally opened
with appropriate ceremonies before the

amusement. Subscriptions will be

Church Services Yesterday.
Rev Dr. L. Hubbard preached an
/ impressive sermon to Harmony Castle,
| No. 9, X. G. E in the morning at the
| NJ e Church His text was from John
xiv, 2: I'm my fathers house are many
mansions. He said in part: Before the
food, people lived SO long that they began
| to think they were destined to live for
ever. But since that great season when
the whole earth was submerged, they
have been allowed to liuger here but {
few years. When Jesus died and rose
again, people thought that he would
abolish death, but he came TO the earth
again to proclaim to them that
although they must die, they could live
again and that he would go to his
fathers house, where there are many
mansions, and prepare place for you
Every human being, at some time, will
feel the need Of home in Heaven. WheI

lay on our death beds. these are time
when we feel a longing desire for homl
beyond, whore we will meet our deat
ones, and be forever blest. When
