A large crowd turned out last Saturday to witness a ball game between the "San ta Fe's" and some of the old time players of the neighborhood, known as the Junior Stars." Of course it was only a practice game for the Santa Fe's, but it nevertheless afforded lots of fun for those who had gathered to witness the game. By a slight misplay the Santa Fe's allowed them to get iu three runs in the third inning, but after that they fail ed to touch the home plate. The score stood 30 to 3.

News has come to the city of what came near beins a murder at Miltonvale Satur day. It is said that the Oak Hill base ball players went to Miltonvale to play i matcu game wnicn tiiey did, resulting a tie. And while they were preparing to play two innings to decide the trame.

Charlie Khunle struck Charles Jones, (editor of the Oak Hi 11 Herald) with a lurge washer be had procured for the urpose, aud which be used as "micks. ntlicting a severe wound on the head and face from which Charley was unconscious for about twenty-four hours. It has been reported out that the Miltonvale boys had arranged to disable some of the best players, so as to gain the game, in case it should be a close one, but the story is by no means creditable. The above highly exaggerated report ppearcd in the Clay Democrat last week. Although mistaken in muny details it nevertheless shows the affair in its true light.

He seemed to say to me, nltao. lint four nnt tintt Cheer up, cheer up! I say! And then he spread his pinions bright And gladly flew away. all day long he would return And perch upon a bough Aud sing to me a cheering song; I seem to hear him now. His song was sung without a thought Of what he did for me, But all my sadness took its flight Before he left the tree. My heart grew light, my spirit calm, While listening to his song.

And all the day I thanked in heart The tuneful feathered throng. We, like the thrush, may scatter gloom If we will only try. And we will surely get reward In the "sweet by and by." CITY LOCALS. Hot. Dusty.
