His Honor and Mr. Ward played ball together in the good old days of later “seventies.” It is said that on the same day that a well known college professor and a man distinguished in the line of mathematics, was demonstrating to his class that a curved ball could not be pitched, a well known ball player was out on the campus sending in “drops,” “‘in. shoots,” ‘“‘out.shoots,” anf doing all kinds of curved things with a common everyday base ball. The professor and his class were invited out to see a prac. tical demonstration of the curved pitch. He could scarcely believe his own éves, and placed sticks in an irregular line and challenged any ome to send curved balls around them. In the iwinkling of an eye the ball left the hands of the famous player, and curved in and ott around the sticks like the graceful swimming of a swan, Again and again the ball was sent around the sticks, and still the pro fessor doubted and kept on proving by mathematical formulas the pitching of the curved ball to be impossible. The professor is still living and is no doubt converted over to the curved ball idea. And it is said all of the above happened in Lewisburg. Chronicle. Seven Sens in This War, The Sheridan trop, of Tyrone, has a remarkable family of Flecks. They are from sinking valley, and are all daring troopers. Lieutenant Thomas M.

With a steam launch and volunteer crew Cushing was able to ap- proach within a short distance of the buge ironclad before he was discovered, It was between midnight and daylight. Fire was opened on him from the picket posts on shore and from the ironclad, but be ran his little launch straight at the huge vessel, and swinging the torpedo boom under the Albemarie's overhang, cooly discharged the torpedo, the ex. plosion sending the big ship to the bot. tom, as well as Cushing's launch. Cush. ing and his men jumped from the sink. ing launch and swam down stream. Two were drowned, and the rest, except Cushing and one other, were captured. Cushing reached the bank half a mile below, waded through a swamp, and the following night was taken up by a United States gunboat at the mouth of the river. For this gallant deed be re. ceived the official thanks of Congress and was promoted. Ten years later be died at Washington, at the age of thirty, the youngest commander of the navy. The striking similarity in the daring and successful enterprises of Decatur, Cushing and Hobson will be noted, It enforces the idea of young men for action.
