WATERFOWL.
A HOT GAME OF BALL.

Last Saturday the Wo0dbury ball players with their umpire, MT Roberts, and select gang of rooters arrived in
 Watertown. The ball players came to show us how to play ball, the rooters to cheer them on and the great Roberts to see that Umpire McGowan made cor rect decisions. Through several bad errors to begin with on the part of
 Watertown, Woodbury got a lead of seven runs to two for the home team. In the 55h inning our boys began to play ball and while Woodbury was making two more runs Watertown made seven tying the score in the last half of the ninth inning. This was too much for Woodbury to swallow and they turned round and pitched on to the umpire, when if they had kept on playing ball they might have had the game or at least went home with consolation that they were honestly beaten. Instead of that they made grand kick and went off the field. The reason for the kick was as follows: Henderson in bringing in the run which tied the score, failed to touch third base. Woodbury demanded that the umpire call him out. The umpire replied by tellidg them to play ball. If they had only thrown the ball to third base or if they had touched Hen- derson with the ball the umpire would have called him out, but it wasn't the place to instruct Woodbury in the fact that a man can't be declared out by the umpire until he is put out. This is where the kick came in and Woodbury refused to finish the game. town.

THE OPEN AIR SERVICES AT HOTCHKIss-
 VILE.
 The open ar service in Hotchkissvilie on Sunday afternoon was a very inter- esting and instructive meeting. The speakers were well chosen and each handled their respective subjects in a manner that made one feel they were "at home" and had given their topics careful and studied thought. While the services were quite lengthy they were interspersed with music rendered by members of all the choirs, and this fea- ture of itself is worthy of mention. Prof Parker presided at the organ in his graceful, easy manner which every singer knows so we'll how to appreciate. MT Ford, superintendent of the 'Ville Sunday school, under whose auspices the meeting was held, had taken great pains to provide comfortable seats for the audlence and choir. At the hour ap- pointed for the evening temperance ser vice at the same place the "lightning's flash and thunders roar" caused those vending their way thither, to turn back and no service was held.

AN ENJOYABLE PICNIC AT QUASAPAUG.
 Last Thursday merry crowd of young people went to Quasapaug con- sisting of the OAkville and Watertown Sunday schools connected with the Episcopal church. A bus and several other kinds of conveyances left Christ church at 9, another bus leaving the parish rooms in Oakville at the same time. There were several races during the day and several kinds of races at that. There was 8 regular running race for big boys and one for younger boys. Then there was an obstacle race, 8 sack race, a three legged race, an egg race and several other events equally inter- esting. Altogether the picnic was an enjoyable event and will be long re- membered not only by the children who took part but also by the older people. The 'busses returned about 3.30 D. m.

THE LATE NELSON BUCKINGHAM.

Nelson Buckingham of Woodbury, an aged father bowed with the weight of years, has gone to his Eternal Rest. After short illness he passed away August II, 1897, at the ripe old age of 88 years, six months and 26 days. But few live to that advanced age. He was a carpenter by trade, good and faithful workman. Many residences and other buildings stand ss evidences of his handi- work. In 1883 Mir Buckingham married Miss Hannah Hubert. Four children were born to them. Five years ago the youngest son, Levi, died and recently 8 beloved daughter was removed to her Heavenly Abode. He leaves an aged wife and two children, Mrs w. B. Davis of Oxford, and Henry Buckingham, the son, residing near his father. The family have the deepest sympathy of the community in their hour of grief. The funeral was largely attended from his home, Friday afternoon. Rev David Pierce of South Britain officiated. The interment was in the North cemetery. The bearers were the grandson of the deceased.

a contrast between the Dreibund and the

Austria, the paper says, have 10 claim to
each others aid unless attacked stimuli
taneously by two adversaries, while the
Russo-French alliance imposes the -obliga-
tion to assist if either is attacked by a
single enemy. The implication of this
contrast is that in the event of an out
break of war, hostilities would inevitably
become universal, because under the
present circumstances a war between
France and Germany would be bound to
bring Russia into the field, thus proving
basis for Austria and Italy to join in

The cry of the railroads is still "more
cars" Difficulty is experienced in find
ing enough cars to transact the enormous
volume of business that followed the har-
vesting of the wheat crop. For instance,
during the last thirty days the railroads
centering in Detroit, Mich, have found
the amount of freight increased from 10
- 80 per cent-from one, in this case,
we can learn of all-for the increased
traffic is confined to no particular line
but is general throughout the length
and breadth of the entire railroad system.

They are more than mere relief.
They impart new organic strength and

the prescription of regular physician;
and are recommended by the most skill
full doctors in the world, as perfectly
mild and harmless, yet absolutely GER

valuable as regulator and preventive
for people of sedentary occupations,

(st. Louis Globe-Dmocrat. }

In selecting the rooster for an emblem
the three-pronged Bryan party of Nebras-
ka has attached reproachful suggestion
to one of our most useful and profitable
fowls. The idea of any self-respecting
rooster growing for such thing as free
silver is insulting and absurd. More
over, it is calculated to turn the public
stomach against poultry, and thus dis
courage an important industry.
