Dickinson, in the employntent of Mr.
Alexander McLaren, 13th Concostion,

coming nnrnanagable, the load upsetting

limbe being fractured. Hu is at present
under medical treatment. and doing as
well as could be expected.

4 4 TIIAi-BAsT.: BALL MATOTT."-A Com,:
mrimcation under this head. appeared in
the EXPOSITOR last week from a Wrox-
e er corre.spbudent, in reply to an A in -
i
I yville one, of the previous week, relats
g to a mad" played. between the clubs
o- the two _places. Now, if .I, as the
ehiter of :the first' paragraph, would.
-a ithdraw from the field -arid allow this
long -Winded and (I am sorry to say) in-
accurate epistle to go unanswered, I
would. be too teed upon as an incorrect
repnr, ter, and some would. consider the
Maitland Club as fools. Instead of this,
I will proceed to show that the compon-
eht parts of the Wroxeter scribbler'e pro -
c action are misstatenseots and. igno-
rance, with a plentiful seasening of
"cheek" . He begins by saying that my
1 aragraph would. give the impression
hat the Maitlands were riot beaten. •
Thwi, T frankly: admitted they were
beaten,. but in a game reschibling the
ad .style of ball. playing. °The ' game
vas not a game of base ball, properly
..peaking. 1 would ask whether a base -
all match is one played according to
Ire rules of the NationahAesociation, or
s it one played accerding to rules got
ip , by parties who have not brain enough
.0 comprehend the prover. rules.? Why
lid ' the "Shoo Flies" object to have
balls called on the striker and pitcher?
This is one of the finest points in the
erame. It is what raises it above the old
game, and places it second. to noneof the
games played for field exercise ; it tends.
to improve the players, - especially the
striker - and, pitcher; it shortens the
game, .making it More lively and aurae -
mg ; iii fact, it may he said, in be the
foundation stone of base ball. The only
reasoa I can conceive for their objecting
is that their pitcher must not have been
able to pitch. fair balls, and'consequently
their opponents would make runs with-
out the trouble and. risk of„ striking for
them. The umpire admitted he knew
nothing, of the calling of balls ; in fact,
he Was quite incompetent. He did not
call pies, at the exact time, nor examine
either balls, baees or bats ; he also al-
' lowed foul play, and. did not watch the
game, as there were players put, Opt he
did not notice, but called "not out."
• Thedastanee of foul play was Black, of
the Shoo Flies,. throwing one of his op-
eonents down, when he was attempting
: toteatch a-. ball. This should have been
called out, but was net. 1 herWroheter
writer says, =Cording to the testimony
of Cameron ana Brown, the balls were
fair. Cameron did not see the balls
pitched, and. Brown was not present.
Be also says, " if he mistakes not," thac
Cameron Waa referred to ou the field, and
-sustained the Wroxeter pitching, Cams.
eron: distinctly said, on the field, that
! he did not see the balls pitched. My.
impression is that the balls which Cam-
eron and Brown endorsed were not the
dierrael ones. The Wroxeter eorre-
;Toads:et says, according to a rale al

tempt was made to havel a Post Office
established at Latta's corners, by the
people of the neighborhood, but they lid
not succeed. They are for trying it
again; now it is badly need.ed, and
should they succeed in getting it, I am
certain it will prove very coavenient.
