FIELD SPORTS. — ON Thursday last the
Winona Base Ball Club, of this place, met at their
gn >unds for the purpose of playing their first match.
The weather was fine and many ladies and gentle- !
men were present. Everything moved, evidently
to the satisfaction of all, in a very harmonious
manner. The National game of Base Ball is a hew
feature of amusement in dull old Towanda, and is
progressing very finely, because the material of
which it is composed, are ones determined to have
a little sport during the summer months, other
than lounging around street corners. The game
as played last Thursday, judging from our limited
knowledge, is one that all should patronize in
- UK manner, for many reasons. First, it is an
American game. Second, it is good exercise, with
the additional inducements of a good deal of fun,
Ac., which the buoyant faces of those interested
t; mgly indicated, while at play. We understand
that Thursdays are regular field days, when the
v.cather is fair, the ball pitching at 4, p. m. Their
invitations are so numerous as to extend to all who
would like to witness the matches. The following
is the score of last Thursday :

i! • FRY IN MONTROSE.—ON Wednesday
m ruing last, our community was startled with the j
ee .vs tlmt a robbery and apparently an attompt to j
uair-h r had been committed in Montrose. Early j
that morning, a stranger, David Carpenter, of De- j
i' -u. X. Y., said to he an engineer on the Erie i
!t.:i vay, was discovered under a shed in the rear j
■ 'h- Montrose hotel, better known as Searle's, j
: v kept by Mr. Koon. His head had been terri- !
blv beaten and bruised, and was covered with j
blood. He had been robbed of about $350 in
r m y and a valuable watch. He states that tlie
first attack was a blow on the head, after which he
- a became insible, and on recovering his senses
he found himself lying under the shed. Blood
Was found on the sidewalk above the hotel, and
! .• !■• were plain indications that he had been drag
<l from there to the shed. He had been drinking
the night before, and was, during most of the
evening, and when livst seen, about midnight, in
tb company of Thomas Dunn, Melvin Greggs, J
and John Murray, Irishmen—the first-named of
h in was concerned in killing a man at Friends
ville not long ago, and the other two were young
men. Greggs driver of the Wyalusing stage, and
Murray porter in the Montrose hotel. Greggs left
tow n with his stage at an unusually early hour that
morning, having Dunn as a passenger. They
were at once suspected, warrants were issued for j
their arrest, and Constables Gary and Fargo and
Mr. J. D. Goodwin started out in pursuit. Greggs
was arrested on his stage at Stevens ville, andjDunn
at his house in Rush. Blood was found on the
clothes of both, and on the boots of Dunn. They
were brought back and lodged in jail in Montrose.
Suspicions also attached to George Dennis, and he
was also arrested and lodged in jail. John Mur*<
ray was not much suspected of complicity in the
crime till he absconded, which he did in the course
f the day. A reward of S2OO has been offered for
bis arrest and delivery to the sheriff of Susque
hanna county—sloo by said Sheriff, and SIOO by
ttie Burgess of Montrose. Murray is described as
being about five feet eight and a half inches high,
of light complexion, light brown hair, inclined to
Vl 'rl, smooth face, light eyes, thick set, about 22
}'vars of age, weighing about IGO pounds.
Hie examination of the men in custody before
the magistrate takes place on the day we go to
press, (Monday).
Mr. Carpenter's injuries are very severe, and it
*as for some time thought that he would not re
cover, but he is now considered nearly out of dan
ger. He says he is sure he can recognize two of
the men that attacked him, and thinks he can the
°ther. The robbery must have occurred soon af
ter Lmdnight.— MoiUrvse ItepMican.
I©* The Government have awarded a
contract to HENEY S. WELLES, of New York, (form
erly of Athens, in this county,) to raise the vessels
in the river and harbor of Savannah. These ves
sels were sunk by the rebels to obstruct the chan
nel, The gunboats and other vessels were scut
tled and sunk at the time the city was evacuated.
There are in all about twenty, some of them very
valuable, with all their guns and armament on
board.
Rev. B. J. DOUGLASS, late Pastor of
Christ Church, this place, arrived' in Dublin, Ire
land, on the 2'2d ult., and put up at the Gersham
Hotel.
BOLD ROBBERY—ARREST OF THE ROBBERS.—
On Friday, 18th instant, two men, named, re
spectively, Albert A. Cummings and Joseph ,
entered the house of Thomas Wolcott. at his log
camp in Elk township, in this county, and com
menced rumaging t e desk and trunks. The only
occupant at the time, a sick man, remonstrated,
when one of the fellows seized a shot gun hanging
in the shanty, and holding it to the breast of the
man, threatened to shoot him if he interfered. The
other thief proceeded to rob the house, taking two
watches, some clothing, and about $75 in money.
Having secured all portable valuables, they de
parted, taking the gun with them.
Upon information lodged with the proper author
ities, a warrant issued, and pursuit of the thieves
made. Report of their presence at Tioga came to
Sheriff Tabor Monday noon, and he started in pur
suit, tracking them to Corning, near which place
he took them into custody Tuesday morning. He
brought them to Wellsboro the same day and lodg
ed jhem in jail. One of the fellows was hanging
around this village ten days ago, and left under
suspicion. He is a bounty jumper.— Wellsboro
Agitator.
FIRE AT WILLIAMS PORT. —About 12 o'clock
on Saturday evening a most disastrous fire broke
out in Williamsport, destroying public and private
property to the amount of $60,000. It was first
discovered in the basement of Mr. Abraham Al
len's Ice Cream Saloon, where there had been no
fire for the past four weeks, the proprietor of which
had left the saloon but a few minutes before. The |
flames spread in both directions, communicating :
on one side with the furniture store of G. Lup- j
pert, and on the other with the carriage shop of
Mr. W. A. Mellick, thence to the shoe shop of Mr.
Sonthand, continuing on to the lumber office of i
Mr. Du Hois, when the loss of life occurred, where J
in attempting to remove a large safe from the of- !
fice, fell through the sidewalk, crushing a woman j
by the name of Eliza Kuntz, who was endeavoring j
to remove the goods from her rooms, which were
under the office. The fire then spread to a large I
three-story building, occupied by A. Compton, j
dyer, and Messrs. M. L. Dunning & Co., grocers, j
on the first floor, and the upper stories occupied !
by families, burning it to the ground. The lire j
crossed the street, communicating with the jail and I
and jailor's residence, burning all that could burn
—as the jail was built of stone and the dwelling
brick. The prisoners were ironed and removed to
the Court House basement, where they will remain
until they can find a more secure place for them.
The fire also burned the fence around the public
schoolhouse, and a small shoe shop on William
street. It was with the utmost difficulty that the
fire, was stopped here, as there was a strong breeze
at the time. There is no doubt but that it is the
work of an incendiary. The loss is estimated at
about SCO,OOO. There is on insurance on the
wlpjle amount of about $15,000.
Bar R. D. Van Duzer, of Waverly, was j
quite seriously injured last week in attempting to
hind a raft in the Chemung near that place. The
line was made suddenly fast to a large stump upon
the high bank which was pulled over, catching Mr.
Van Duzer under it, injuring one foot and leg se
verely.
The following report of a trial in
Sullivan county, we find in the Laporte Free Press:
On Wednesday morning the case of the Com
monwealth against Thos. J. Ingham, John H.
Green, Thos. A. Dent, Jos. C. Pennington, ltich
ard Reynolds and Albert Conklin, was taken up.
The counsel for the prosecution was A. L. Grim,
Esq., District Attorney, 13. S. Bentley Esq., of
Montrose, and 11. W. Patrick, Esq., of Athens.
Counsel for defence, lion. U. Mercur, and Hon.
Henry Johnson. The indictment was for an at
tempt to overawe and prevent from voting, a cer
tain James Peterman, and for riotously disturbing
the election at Laporte in October 18G5. It ap
peared that Peterman was arrested at the polls as
a deserter ; that much noise and some scuffling
and striking occurred which was participated iu
by some of the witnesses for the prosecution as
well as by some of the defendants ; that Peterman
was finally taken before the election board where
his case was fully discussed and his vote refused.
He was afterwards permitted to escape. It was
proved that Peterman had been drafted ; that he
did not report; that he was arrested and delivered
to the Provost Marshal, was examined, held to
service and then deserted.
Judge Elwell charged the jury that Peterman
was a legal voter and that the defendants had no
right to prevent him from voting, by threats or
violence ; that the fact that he was arrested at the
polls, however, was not of itself positive evidence j
of an intent to prevent him Ironi voting, and the !
Judge left it to the jury, under the evidence, to de- |
cide whether the defendants made the arrest to j
overawe and prevent the deserter from voting or ;
not. On Thursday afternoon the jury returned a
verdict of "Not Guilty," T. J. Ingham to pay two- !
thirds of the cost and J. H. Green and Richard j
Reynolds to pay the balance.
GARDINER. — GARDINER, the murderer,by the
terms of his original sentence, was to have been
hung at Elniira, June Ist. The execution is now
indefinitely postponed. We imagine he feels some
what better at this time than he expected to when
sentence was passed upon him.
tootf M. <fc F. W ATKINS, proprietors of the
I Milan House, Ulster, Pa., respectfully announce to
the dancing public that they will give an Indepen
dence Party, at their House on Tuesday Evening,
July 3, 1866. All are invited to attend. Good
music will be in attendance.

Mourn not, though thy heart is forsaken and lone
And the hopes thou hast cherished have vanished
and flown,
Tho' the spot now is vacant her presence once fill
ed,
And the voice once so gentle now silenced and still.
Weep not, that the earth must now cover that form
Which once was so lovely, that bosom so warm,
And the smile that once played on her beautiful
cheek
No more the heart's goodness shall blushingly
speak.
Though the clods of the earth are heaped over her
clay,
And the light of her presence no longer can stay,
Let the thoughts of her goodness their fragrance
impart,
And memory act as a balm to the heart.
Why should ye mourn when few were her years,
She thus should have passed from this valley of
tears,
She had lived to enjoy the glad days of our life,
Ere the heart knoweth trouble, or sorrow, or strife
Ere older experience hath given the lie
To each darling wish, and our fondest hopes die.
So meek and so gentle, so kind and so good.
The ills of this earth, could she have withstood ?
Detraction's keen arrow, and Envy's sharp dart
Would doubly have wounded her sensitive heart—
Rather wish her spirit never may stray
From the home of the happy where ever is day,
But to meet and to welcome to that happy shore
The friends that now weep as they think she's no
more. L. A. D.
