A very beautiful monument erected to

polished stone with the name of Smith in
German, text and the only Ornamental
tion is wreath OF oak leaves just below
the pedestal which supports graceful te-
male figure, representing Hope and hold
ing in the right hand an anchor twined
with flowers. The stone is symmetrical
in all its parts and greatly enhances the
beauty OF the yard.
In reporting the ball game between the
Red Men and Odd Fellows, Aug. 4th, what
was heard on the street was given as fol-
lows: "It Is said TO have been agreed be-
fore the sides commenced playing that an
old fashioned, slow, straight ball should
be pitched; but II so, this agreement was
not strictly adhered to-" We have since
received information, from equally reli-
able sources, to the effect that the ball
was straight as die and slow as death.
Considerable feeling was generated by
this game, and there are those who still
cling TO the first report. As for us, the
sum total OF our knowledge concerning a !
ball game consists in believing that the
ball is round, but we feel timid about as
serting even this.

mist before the sum-" and lemonade too,
seemed TO assist greatly in relieving the
pressure.
