On Saturday, The 10Th inst, the Leonard
town Base Ball Club was formerly notified
that the challenge to the Warsaw team of
Virginia had been accepted, for the follow
ing Monday, the 18th instant Notwith-
standing The short notice, through the
efforts Of Manager Fenwick, nine men,
with their uniforms, reported at the wharf
by 6 a. M, Monday, to take the Steamer
Sue for Kinsale, Virginia, the place desig-
mated for the meeting Of the teams; at
which place we we're landed at ii a. m,
and on repairing to Hotel de Atwell, we
found the Montross team awaiting US, and
after short conference between the cap
tains Of the teams, at which representa-
tive Of the Warsaw club was present, it
was agreed that game should commence
at once between Montross and Leonard
town, and the game with Warsaw, as
agreed by its representative, should begin
at o'clock
Uniforms were hunicdly donned, and
the two teams repaired to the ball ground
to begin the contest. A view ofthe grounds
was by no means encouraging, for it was
apparent from the high corn-ridges and
general roughness Of the grounds that tack
must play an important part in the game,
and this is a particularly Objectionable
feature; for all well drilled teams desire
above all things 70 play the game upon
merit and TO leave as little as possible to
chance.
Play was called little before noon, and
Leonardtown was first at the bat Various
speculations were INDUCED in by the spec
tatorsa as to the result However, they were
not to be held long in suspense for ere
Leonardtown was retired, scorer Key had
marked an even dozen 10 their credit, and
when the second innings made this doaea
score, il required no prophet 70 foretell g
which side victory would beiall. From
this time on the game was unin,eresting,
The large score was due to the all round
heavy hitting Of the Leonardtown team
and the pitching Of G. Cough, who held
the opponents down 10 few scattering
hits, plainly demonstrating that Leonard
town Is no longer a team with one pitcher

Or. John I. spalding.

DR. John T. spalding died at bis resi-
dence in Leonardtown about ~ o'clock on
the night Of Sunday last, July "a, 1872.
He was in the 51st year Of bis age. Or.
spalding graduated from the Maryland
University school ofMedicine, in 1857, and
since that date has most successfully prac-
ticed his profession in this county He
was warm-hearted and charitable and
those who knew him well were ever bis
devoted friends. BY bis death our county
has been deprived Of good citizen, a
akilful and successful physician and his
family has lost devoted husband and
father. He married Miss Emily Heard,
who, with six children, survives him. The
immense concourse OF citizens at his funer-
al attests the estimation in which he was
held by tho community. In our nextpaper
we will publish a sketch Of DIR. spalding's
life from the pen Of ono who knew him
well and loved him much.

The Weld Of wheat in this neighhorhood
ranges from Al 70 20 from one Of seed,
II. T BARRIERS being the largest heard from.
But tie most remarkable yield was that Of
our merchant farmer ex,judge Carpenter,
who resides at the "Diieh.s You may per-
haps know him Last fall, he seeded n
bushels Of wheat on n acres Of land.
When it came up there was nothing re.
markable about II except that IL did not
seem to need replanting quite so badly as
some in the neighborhood. About the lat
ter part Of March, wheat generally began
TO improve wonderfully and it was conceed'
cd there would be better yield than was
at first supposed Theex Judges lot, how
ever, did not seem to flourish like his neigh
bors, but appeared TO be better field for
botanical researches than for good yield
of wheat We remember while passing
his lot one day last Spring the eHjudge
brought to the road for our inspection
some weeds to determine their classes, gen
era, species, etc, paying but little attention
20 his wheat which was considered next
to nothing Harvest came, and the ex-
Judge had seven small shocks each being
somewhat larger than whiskey barrel,
but no one supposed they would turn out
SO bushels. When it was ascertained that
il was not measured in the straw before
thresbing, someone suggested that the large
yield was owing to the aaortntS Of the
sgaao we thought, at first, it might have
been caused by the long windy spell just
after harvest, but the fact remains upon
evidence that cannot be gaii,sayed that he
secured 30 bushels from his lot.
Corn is hooking well despite the rayages
Of the shot-worm.. Forward tobacco is
hourishing and the recent rains have en-
abled the farmers TO finish pitching their
crops.
Its amusing to listen to the knowing
ones discussing the condition Of the roads
and how they should be repaired, &c.
The majority seem to be opposed to filing
the mud holes with dirt, thus, in theis opin-
iOii ItuALlll5a hiCHl NDisc Nlidn huCJ MIlS
before, but insist on putting 10 brush,
while Others advocate thecorduroy or pole
ing Of The roads. None seem to think Of
drainage Or the methods by which IL should
be accomplished. A few, however, have
correct ideas Of good roadbed made Of
our available material How an engineer
could give stisiaction to Tie great majority
under such confiction Of opinions is al.
most as much a mystery as how we are
ever to have roads without the services Of
one, for it is lamentable fact that the
money expended on our roads is in most
cases worse than thrown away.
The nomination Of Cleveland and Ste
venson gives entire satisfaction 50 Ear as
asccrtained and we confidently count on
solid Democracy from this neighborhood.

" Saturday morning to continue his inspec.

out and escorted him from the wharf to

remain longer in our town. His Excellen-
cy is earnestly endeayoring to familiarlze
himself with the oyster question 50 as TO be
able to deal intelligently with it. He de-
serves great credit for his course in the
matter.
