BAannALL.--A very interesting game of baseball was played between the boys of the 5th and 0th lines on Tuesday, Mull May. A large number of spectators wore present and all appeared to enjoy the sport. The game was very fairly um- pired by W. H. Oloakey and when the usual game of nine innings were played the result was 28 to 20 in favor of the 6th liters. The want of practice woo evident on both sides as was shown by the way the boys played, scarcely any rune being made on either sides during the last two or three innings. The 5th liners were put to some disadvantage ow- ing to accidents happening a couple of their best players, but they still entertain hopes of doing better at the return match which is expected in two or three weeks. At the meeting of the Wild Lily Divis- ion, Sons of Temperance, last Thursday evening, after the opening services wore gone through, the debate that was ar. ranged for was entered upon and dismiss- ed in a lively manner. The subject was Scott Aot a success or a failure. By motion there wore two ladies, Misses Proctor and Anacreon, placed in the chair and they having the privilege to call on a third, their choice was Mies Maggie Conory. Samuel Irvin tools the floor to defend the much abused Scott Aob and was followed by Robert Clark, Geo. W. Wilkinson and Richard Proctor. James N. Wilkinson was leader of the opposition and was assisted by Wm. A. Haslam, Joseph Atkinson and Wesley Hotbam. The decision was given in fav- or of the Act, after which a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the ladies who 000upied the ohair. We understand that Richard Proctor's horse ran away last Sunday evening and the result was a total wreck of a new top buggy. Sunshine can boast of a repairing shop.

It was May—beautiful balmy May—No place was more redolent of perfumes or resonant of song tben the cemetery, a mile or more from Winghsm. Two young men sauntering along thought of going into this so oret enolosure and lying upon the green sward to rest awhile before returning to the town. No sooner werebhey comfortably seated when other voices greetoi their ears. Not wishing to bo seen they remained hidden and un- willingly became an audience to a most ),pathetic; dramatic, love scene. Imagin- ing themselves surrounded by the deaf ears of the silent sleepers bhe ardent lov- er gave full away to his oratory.
