otherwise; our children, the success OF

up in a row, in which the teacher Of the

something to do with it. He called on

Normal was handicapped by the ab-
sence of Hayes at second, which
necessitated considerable shifting, and
Bloomsburg's representatives had
never played together before. Up to
the fifth inning it was quite interesting,
the score standing 8 to in favor of
Bloom. AT this juncture the Normal
developed batting streak, and sent
three men across the rubber. Bloom
scored one in the sixth and another in
the eighth, which tied the score. But
1t didn't stay that way very long as
Normal sent a man in with the winning
run, in their half of the eighth. There
was a good sized crowd present. We

A narration OF laws relating 10 the
Sabbath and the prosecutions due to
them would fill a huge volume and
make interesting reading. The rigid
Puritan observance of the Lords day
had its origin with the Purltans Of
old England and reached its fullest
development in Puritan New England,
says D0Nah0e's Magazine. None of
the laws were more rigidly enforced
than those intended to prevent the
''prophaning of the Lords day." The
old records are full of convictions for
violation of them. Capt. Kimble, Of
Boston, was in 1856 set for two hours

THE INDIANS BLANKED.

A band of aborigines, representing
the Carlisle School, about fifteen in
number, after weeks tour on the
base ball diamond, dropped into town
Thursday morning last 1t was their
first appearance here, and the largest
crowd of the season was out. The
visitors put up creditable article but
were shut out, notwithstanding. The
principal factor in the Indians failure
to get a run across the plate was
elongated and Williams, the same
identical slab artist, who, during all of
last season as we'll as this, has given
the most pronounced evidences of his
merit whenever called upon to operate.
A far better idea OF his fine work than
we are able to describe can be formed
by glance at the red mems hit and
run columns. Not an Indian enjoyed
the pleasure of Mr.. Reighard's com
pany on third base, and only few
paid their respects to second base.
Pratt, too, pitched a heady game,
and kept the hits we'll scattered, but
his support was not SO good as that
accorded his opponent in the box.
Another feature which impaired an
added charm was the observance by
both teams of the anti-kicking rule,
not a semblence of an objection being
raised at any of the decisions of the
umpire, though many close ones were
rendered.
Special mention is due Mr.. John
son, The second baseman of the visit
ors, for catch of a foul fly after
hard run. 1t was the prettiest piece
Of fielding seen here this season.
1t was clean game in all respects
and gave entire satisfaction to an

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

The Benton ArgDs of last week
says:
The eGorts of the parties who have
been working for free rural mail de-
livery have not been in vain. w. w.
Sawyer, government official, spent
several days in Benton, looking over
the ground, the latter part of last week.
From what we can learn from Mr..
Sawyer and others is that the Post
Office here will be the main Office of
the system in thus neighborhood, and
that there will be four and very likely
five routes which will start from this
Office, covering a radius of at least ter
miles, which will take in parts of the
following townships: Benton, Jackson,
Pine, Fishingcreek, Greenwood and
Sugarloaf IN Columbia County, and
Fairmount and Huntington in Luzerne
County. This will require four carriers
and two substitutes, in case but four
routes are established. Mr.. Sawyer
was called TO another point and will
return in a few days, and as yet
nothing definite has been done in re-
gard to the territory that is to be COW
cred, so we cannot give the details
until the return of the government
representative, but we can assure
our readers of this fact, that that they
will have the delivery in the near
future. This will increase the Benton,
postoffice, and will no doubt necessi-
tate large force. That this system
is great success and convenience
there is no question. Mr.. Sawyer is
a man that 1t is pleasure to meet
and talk with, he being pleasant and
congenial, and we are certain that he
