A painful rumor prevailed here last week to the. effect that a family of seven persons Lad been murdered in Clearfield township. It is dmMcult to say what gave lise to the re port, but we are glad to say 'hat it was al together without foundation in fact. Just after dinner on Tuesday our citizens were startled by the cry of "Fire!" but be fore the greater poition of them reached tlm Hfte the flames were subdued. The fire had let'D communicated from tlu flue to the roof of the res id- nee of F. A. Tit-rt.ey, Esq. in the west end of town, but on'.y done tiitiiug damage before it was overcome. In view of Hiram Ulysse-s' predilections for terp; ichoreau amusements, as manifested on a certain memorable occasion in Wash ington city, it is t tninently just and proper that a Giant Club should be supplied with a Piper, to that "the ball can goon" at any time that dit-tineuisbed, and shortly to be extinguished, artijte feels disposed to "trip the light fantastic toe." Rev. B. XI. Kerr, pastor of the Presbyte rian church of this place, announces through our paper to-day his intention to open a Se lect High School for Wung Ladies, in ths Academy building here, on Tuesday, Sept. 1st. Mr. Kerr is a teacher of large expe rience and eminent capacity, and will net fail in his duty to all ppiis who may be committed to his charge. During the progress of an amateur very amateur gnme of base ball on Friday, a bat Hew from the hands of one of the players, and after redouuding from the ground, struck a little son of Mr. John Lloyd on the side of the face and temple, and injured him so much that it was feared congestion of the brain would result the same night. The little fel low is now, however, out of danger and do ing well. An extempore club of base bullists, made up of visitors to the Cressou Springs, accom panied by a long cavalcade of "fair ladies and brave men," came to our town on Wed nesday for the purpose of participating in a friendly contest with the knights of the bat and ball here. They did participate, bt not to a very alarming extent, as the. score stood at the end of the game : Mountaineers C5 ; Muffins 30. The OTIara pic-nic, held on Wednesday last, was an agreeable and most successful affair nothing whatever being wanted to conduce to the enjoyment of the occasion. We have not learned "the amount realized, but rumor says it will cot fall much short of $o00. A handsome benefit for a worthy ob ject. To Mr. Sam'l O'llara, more than to any other one man. is due the credit of bring ing about this gratifying result. A young man named Delozicr, of Clear field township, was accidentally shot, not long since, by a pistol in bis own hand3. IIow it was done we can't conceive, but we are told that the ball passed through one of his arms in two places, below and above the elbow, and entered bis breast, passing up along the ribs and lodging against the collar bono. The ball was extracted, and the in jured man is doing well. Ebensburg boasts a Grant Club, just fledg ed. We don't know whether it is a hurrah ing club or a musical club, but most proba bly the latter, as it has a Piper on its list of officers. Xo talking is to be allowed at its meetings, we believe, out of respect for the dumb caudi'Iate ia whose behalf the club has been organized nor wiH any member be admitted without a cigar in his mouth, even if he is otherwise sound to the cure on the Radical goose. . The Radicals hereaways formed a Grant Club at the Court House on Saturday night last, and as this is comparatively the strong est hold that party has in the" county, we doubt not that each ringing of the Ull, and it was rang some three or four times, brought not lebs than that number of the faithful to the meeting. We believe the officers were principally obtained Without drawing on the "Boys in Blue," who seem to have been "drawed 011" about as far as they are wil ling to go with the Radical destructionints. dames C. Easly, Esq., of Carrolltown. had the misfortune to be thrown from a buggy in this place, on Saturday evening last, in consequence of the seat, which was cot fas teucd to the vehicle, capsizing while turning one of our street corners. Mr. Ka1y fell between the buggy and the wheel, and was carried around by the wheel, receiving pain ful injuries on the back and hip and several ugly scratches on the face. He recovered Mifticiently in a couple cf hourB to be taken to his home, where ho is still confined to bis bed but gradually lecoveriisg. Base Ball Extkaordixauy! There was a fearful excitement on the Ebenkburg base ball grounds on Thursday. A number of very interesting matches had already been played here during the season. When the Johnstown club played the Mountaineers the excitement was (Kickenappalling, and the hot Mufilins from Cressuu made warm work. But all other games were as nought com pared with the one plajed on this occasion. Early in the day the Lummix," a elub txpressly improvised for the occasion, many of the members of which had never been beateu at this or any other game, challenged the Mountainers to a match game upon their own ground, which challenge WAS AC CEPTED ! The game was rot to commence until two o'clock, but long before that hour an im mense concourse of people had arrived upon the ground. The array of "brave women and fair men" has rarely been equalled. Disregirdless of age, or sex, or rank, or con dition, or color on came the crowd. Even those who.-e who had been wounded on for mer He Ids, and those whom age or disease had rendered infirm, were brought to the field on ambulances. In short, every body was there, waiting with breathless anxiety the opening of the ball ! At precisely the hour of 2 o'clock, 7 min utes ai;d 46 seconds the Umpire arrived up on the scene with hlstnff, and was the"ob served of all observers." Though somewhat paler than usual, there was nothing remark able about bis appearance. A chair being provided, lie sat down with as much non ehahncc cs if he v.ero about to enjoy a. Ua var a. But the agony of suspense is over the g: mo is commenced- I cannot, dearest Free man, follow its details ; suffice it to say it was pi"nfuily scientific. It soon became ap parent that a portion of the "Lummix" had been practising in the early part of the day, and bad taken several "flies." It was even said that one of them had cau ht a "fowl" for d nner. They jud cioutly placed Scant ling in the centre of the field, while Ceasly sat to the right in the field, with a copy of Fielding, studying the game. A Philadel phia incmber after the first inning retired on a n;0 Icrte competence. Yorkk llober mami aided the running by seizing his run ners by the collar and running them round, for which a double track had been laid. Theie was some admirable playing. Segil displayed uncommon activity, and during the game caught a ball, w hich was considered ncc 7:ntal. The "short stop" always stop ped short of the mark, while Secular strove always to catch the ball when the Secular arm could not reach it. On the second inning Ilobermann went out on a Lat-ter, while Cdytell was most foul ly and IhiseAy was ruled out by the Umpire. Tha experience of the Mountaineers, how ever, triumphed over the enterprise of the Lummixes and they were flumruixed. While each iuning of the Mountaineers was pro ductiveof sundry scores, the outings of the Lummixes were accomplished wiih incred ible facility ; and at the end of the fifth in ning the game was called and came. The best feeling prevailed throughout. At fhe close Kink-head of the Lummix club presented the ball with a few appropriate remarks, which were briefly responded toby the Vally ant Captain of the Mountaineers. The air was then rent with cheers for each of (he clubs, and for the Umpire, R. L. Johnston, Esq., of the Freeman, for the dig nified and impartial manher with which be had filled his high trust. And thus"ended the game. When the balljs opened again, "may I be there to sec." MacSiiane. Democratic Club Meeting.

"Tce War between the States, its Cacseh, Character, Conduct and Re sults." by Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, is the title of a valuable work just issued by the National Publishing Co"., Philadelphia. Pa. Histories of the late civil war have sprung up like mushrooms, and they can now be numbere(!5!most by hundreds. All who are desirous of arriving At a correct understand ing of the causes, and a clear history of the events of the late lamentable war, have felt the want of a reliable history of the name from a Southern standpoint, by some repre sentative man of the South. This waut is about to be supplied by Alexander II. Ste phens. Mr. Stephens was a most earnest protestant hgainst rebellion, aud ouly sue cumbed at the last moment, when his State, in spite of his warning, committed the great error. The bare announcement that this distin guished statesman had determined to write a book, wculd, of itself, be sufficient to kin dle a lively and wide-spread interest in all sections of the country; but when it is known that he has chosen as his theme one so fruitful as the late American War, the absorbing interest of the subject, together with the evident and singular fitness of the author for its treatment, unite in awakening a curiosity entirely unparalleled iu the annals of American literature. It presents a careful political analysis of the past, separating real from apparent causes of the late unhappy conflict, and gives those interior lights and shadows of the great war, only known to those high officers who watched the flood-tide of revolu tion from its fountain springs, and which were so accessible toMr. Stephens from his position as second officer of the Confederacy. To a public that has been surfeited witli apparently similar productions, it presents a change of fare, both agreeable and salutary, and an intellectual treat of the highest order. The Great American War has at last found a historian worthy of its importance, and at whose hands it receives that moderate, can did and impartial treatment which truth and justice so urgently demand. This most valuable work is sold only by subscription, and the publishers want an agent in every county. Who Shall be President ?
