brated by almost everyone in some befitting
manner, largo numbers went to the lake as
usual, and a greet number accompanied
she band to the Centralia Festival, In the
morning a game of base bill was played
between two picked nines which was with-
out doubt the hoot over played in Credi:ou.
Whitewashes and good playing were the
features of the game, and the score was
kept right down for a rustic game, During
the game a very uuforlunato acoident oo.
aarred, two of the players S. Either and
Wm. Lewis Jr. were beth making for a fly
ball and not seeing can't other, came to-
gether with the forco of two battering-rams
striking their heads. Lewis got off with
two broken teeth and a bruised head, but
Sam was kuoolaed almost senseless, and
when he arose from the ground, blood was
oozing from his nose and mouth, his cheek
was cut open, his forehead badly battered
up and in addition thereto bad ablack eye.
Duriug our experience in base ball we have
never seen any players get used up so badly
in a game. Both of them had to leave the
field and Sam will be confined to the house
for a few days and it will likely be a few
weeks before he will be able to do much.
But. Lewis will likely be none the worse off
in a few days. Play was resumed and other
players substituted and at the finish, the
score stood 10 to 5 in favor of the side
captained by M. Ginter.—The flax -men

A lari•e number from here went to Zurich

the Bishops of the German Evangelical
Association evidently manifested itself in
Crediton. Rev. M. 0. Morlock of Chicago,
is visiting his parents told numerous friends
here and has on previous visits always
favored us with a sermon, and we expected
the same on this occasion. as he was born
and bred among us, and since his entering
the ministry has been one of the moat
successful youug preachers in the church,
hence we take an interest in him and like
to hear him when the 'opportunity 'affords
It appears however and is a fact that the
Esther people heard of his intended visit
to his parents, and Bishop Bowman wrote
a letter here instructing the church officials
not to allow him to oecnpy the pulpit,
stating tbat ne was against them. Now we
think this a most unjust notion and judging
from the sentiments of the people of the
congregation, the action on the part of
Bishop Bowman will do the Escher Party
a great deal of barna in this locality. We
do net wish to discuss church matters io
our correspondence, but in this ease we
think we are justified in saying what we
have and had Mr. Morlock been a stranger
or oould anyone bring the slightest charge
against his character we would not have
said a word about it. We understand how-
ever that we will have t e pleasure of hear.
