In view of Hiram Ulysse-s' predilections
for terp; ichoreau amusements, as manifested
on a certain memorable occasion in Wash

that a Giant Club should be supplied with

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

our paper to-day his intention to open a Se

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. On Satur
day evening, 15th iDst., a meeting of the
Draociatic and Conservative citizens of
,Ch?st Springs Borough was held for the
purpose of organizing a Seymour and Blair
Club, at which the following officers were
chosen :
President J. K. McKcnzie.
Vice Presidents John Wagoner and John
McFeely.
Secretary A. Will.
Corresponding Secretary George Davis.
From the feeling prevailing here it is evi
dent that Chest Springs will do its duty in
the approaching Presidential Campaign. It
is intended that able speakers, from a dis
tance, will be invited to address the citizens
of this idace. Iago.
"The Good Time Comino." As probably
the last out-door festival of the present sum

to the pleasant enjoyment and rich feasting
aff orded by our genial, whole-souled friends at
St. Augustineon this occasion, and every one
who visits the pic-nic may expect abundant
creature comforts and ample enjoyment of a
social, agreeable and innocent character. j
Go by alt means, and put in a day ot real
genuine recreation among tho?e who know
how to do the agreeable most effectually.
Stitx Anothbb. We notice elsewhere,
as probably the last of tha seasou, a pic-nic
to be held at St. Augustine, but have since
learned that there is still another to be given
at Loretto two daj's later. Those who ap
preciate enjoyment of fco pleasant a nature
may as well finish up the work by partici
pating with our Loretto friends on Thursday
next, 27th inst., as it is for a deserviug pur
pose. The finest grove in the county is to
be the scene of this festival, and those who
have the matter in hand will see that ail
visitors shall bo made happy.

"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.
