BASE BALL.

A pretty lively game OF base ball was
played here last Friday afternoon be-
tween The Woodstock and Strasburg
clubs. 1t was another sad but glorious
day" for our club, and the way the
nmble footed boys from Pot-town laid
out the old truck for the lads Of the
county capital made mighty shary work
for the eyes,as the oldwoman said when
the wheelbarrow ran over her nose.
Mr.. Sinner, the lightning pitcher of
Winchester. came up to fill the box for
Woodstock, but he had evidently left
home without his electric fluid and the
way those reckless roosters from down
the Valley made their bats connect
with the " inchester mans balls caused
much wabbling OF knees and divers
other uncertainties among our fellows.
Now, Bobbie Craw ford, who did the
act for The StrasbuTg boys, well, he
could lust do it and have dead coolies to
spare, and although our boys swatted
the circumambient atmosphere right
where the ball was every time, il turned
out to he only its shadow, this alfred
fellow Crawford, having trick OF
throwing the ball so swift that it got
clean back to him before our fellows
could see the shadow and hit at it.
However, our boys played a mucl
better game than the score Itself woulI

The Water Question.

MIR. Adcslberger the hydraulic en-
gineer, we are informed, has submitted
to the council a report OF his preliminary
survey OF the Wisman spring and his
estimate of probable cost The cost, he
thinks, will be from $4,000 to $50 600.
The council We are Informed has call
ed a massmceting OF the citizens OF the
town to consider the subject. Whether
any other infolm nation will be given the
citizens or not, we are not prepared to
say. When the people shall DC called
together, they should have full infoima
ton not only as to the quantity and
quality of water, elevation and distance
of the spring examined, but of all the
other springs in the neighborhood,
and the probable cost at this time
in comparison with what it would
be when iron, lead, Sc. are at
normal prices
These subjects should be fully
examined. 1t is the most impoi-
tant measure ever presented to the
people of the town, and is one that
should not be acted upon hastily. The
question of probable income from the
water works, whether it would be neces-
sary to increase The general tax of the
town, and if so, to what extent, should
be fully ascertained, so that all the cit
zens OF the town would be prepared 10
act intelligently. We would certainly
oppose submitting question to the
vote Of the town, simply because 1t
could be carried We could name

The general good OF all The people. We
