The Pawtuckets played better ball than
the home team yesterday, but unluckily
the champions got two runs In che first
inning and the visitors were dnable to
catch them, although they hold them
down to that number. Kelly was In the
box for Pawtucket and his work was Of
the highest order, and his support was
fne. The only error was made by Lang
but that did not affect the result. Davis
led In batting as usual, getting three.

two doubles. Lang and Daley were the

A Terrible VisItant.

Pain is always a terrible visitaRt, and often
domciles itself with one for life The infection
is preventable in cases of rheumatism by a
timely resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which checks the entertainments of this obstinate
and dangerous malady at the outset. The term
dangerous" is used advisedly, for rheumatism
is always liable to attack the vital organs:and
terminate life. No testimony is more conclusive
and concurrent than that of physicians who tes-
tify to the excellent effect of the Btters in this
disease. Persons incur a wetting in rainy or
snowy weather, and who are exposed to draughts
should use the Bitters preventive of i'll effects
Malaria, dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble
nervousness and debility are also among the
ailments to which this popular medicine is
adapted. For the infrmities, soreness and stiff
ness of the aged it is highly beneficial.

Buncoers at whateIey.

An interesting story Of two swnders who fail
ed comes from Whateey. A stranger went to that
town few days ago and bargained with Mr..
White for one of the largest farms there, incud-
ing stock tools, household furniture etc. He
said that he was brother of A. T. Folsom Of
Springfield, and that he wanted the property for
his sister, wealthy New York widow, who had
two sons whom she was anxious to put to farm
ing. He made no objection to the price set SAC,
900, and departed. A day or two afterwards he
reippeared and said that he wanted to buy more
land. He was informed that he could secure it at
a reasonable rate He asked Mr.. White to &C
company him in his carriage to see the land, and
the request was granted. When they had reached
a secluded spot below the little schoolhouse they
were met by man dressed plainly and claiming
to be from Kentucky and inquiring the way TO
Cincinnati The Kentucky man said he had been
to Boston with three carloads of mules on which
he had lost $1,000 or $4,000. Conversation ensued
and then cards were produced and the two stran-
gers began playing The man who said he was
Mr. Folsom's brother Immediately won $50. Mr..
White looked ON and took it all in. When invited
to play he said, "Gentlemen, you can play cards;
I'm not playing today" Mr.. Folsoms brother
then left, agreeing to bring his sister to dinner
next day. Since then nothing has been heard OF
him,
