NON-APPEARANCE OF THE "CHEV-

NoN-APPEARANcE OF THE "CHEv-

 Owing to the non-appearance of the "Chevaliers, of Bridgeport, last Sat. urday, the game scheduled at the Fair grounds did not take place. After waiting until p. m., the management returned the gate money to those who paid admission, and picked nine made up from the spectators, assisted by the regular teams first battery, "Warner and Bishop" played three inning game with the regular team. There were some very original plays made by some members of the picked team, which evoked much laughter on the part of the spectators; but owing to the threatening aspect of the weather, and the fact that Rev MT Linsley picked a fly from the bat of Edward Taylor, without that gentle mans permission, the umpire gave a Woodbury ruling, declaring the game "a forfeited tie game in favor of mo- body but the umpire.''
 On Saturday of this week, at the Fair grounds the Newtowns will cross bats with the SheltOns. It will be re- membered that the SheltonS beat the Newtowns on their own grounds, in June, before the regular season open ed, by score of 8 to ', and again on July 20, played tie game at IA to IA.
 Therefore the game Saturday prom ises to be one of the closest and best played games of the season, as both teams are very evenly matched. There will no doubt be much larger crowd present than there has been at any game since July 4. Newtown will put their best efforts forth "without the assistance of the umpire" to win this game. So do not fail to be present.

MRS S. H. PLATT.

Catharine, wife of Rev s. H. Platt, and daughter of the late Rev William H. Bangs, departed this life in Ware, Mass, on Tuesday morning, May 14, and was laid to rest in Oak Grove cem- etery, Springfield, Mass, May Is, 1901. Rev s. H. Platt was the beloved pastor of the NewtOwn charge from April, 1863, to April, 1865, and was one of the most popular preachers the church has ever had. Mrs Platt was active in church work, and was teacher of a large class of boys in the Sunday school. Among the number were Ezra Hall, Charles Beardsley of Newtown, George Couch, Sidney Wilson, Charles Hall, John Judson, and others who we'll remember Mrs Platt as faithful mother of five children, three sons and two daughters, all preceding her to the better land excepting the young est daughter, who resides in Spring field, Mass, and is considered a very skillful, physician in that city. The oldest daughter, May, married Rev William Rice Newhall, then pastor of the State street Methodist church, Springfield, and now principal of the Wilbraham seminary, Massachusetts. She died August IS, 1890, leaving three young children. A short time after, Harry, their only son, bright, prom iSing young man, was stricken down with spinal meningitis and lived but a few days. Mrs Platt had been an in- valid for several years. She was silent in sorrow, tender and cautious in speech, charitable towards all. Her girlhood was devout; her motherhood d a marvel of loving diligence, and her 0 u00 psc 0 irocf nf frp1c F,,1 tience in suffering. Her confidence in the Master was unshaken and peace fully and prayerfully she awaited the summons to depart. To her death was gain.

 At the close of the siege of Vicks- burg, after the United States troops had taken possession, a party of Union paper, and noticed the following item at the bottom of one column:
 ON DIT.-That the great Ulysses the Yankee GeneralissimO, Surnamed Grant-has expressed his intention of dining in Vicksburg on Saturday next, and celebrating the 4th of July by grand dinner and so forth. When asked if he would invite Gen. Jo. John son to join, he said, "No! for there will be a row at the table," Ulysses must get into the city before he dimes in it. The way to cook rabbit is ''frst catch the rabbit" Sc. One of the boys, a printer, at once wrote the following reply, and set it up in type, and put it at the bottom of another column, and then worked off another "wall paper edition.''
 NOTE.
 JULY 4th, 1863. Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has "caught the rabbit" he has dined in Vicksburg, and he did bring his dinner with him. The "CitiZen" lives to see it. For the last time it appears on ."Wall-paper." /" No more will it eulogise the luxury of mule meat and fricassed kittie-urge Southern warriors to such diet never more. This is the last wallpaper edition, and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them. It will be valuable hereafter as curiosity. In this party was Capt. John H. Austin, who is now assisting in type setting in THE BEE office. Capt. Aus tin has preserved a copy of the paper, in existence in the United States to- | day.
