the Center School House, on the afternoon
of the 4th of July. The afternoon was cool
and pleasant, comfortable alike for players
and spectators. Several young men, from
the Mutual Club, New Haven, Were present
and took part. in the game. Jimmy Har-
wood, who certainly has no superior in the
State—pitched for one side, and Joe Hatch,
of South Norwalk, also an excellent pitcher
but rather out of practice, pitched for the
other side. Quite a large number Of spec-
tators, including ladies, were present to wit-
ness the game.

0n the same grounds, on Saturday after-

Umpire, S. E. Gruman, of “Liberty Club.”
The boys had good pluck, as well as wou-
derful powers of endurance, to play a match
game of nine innings with the thermometer
standing in the vicinity of 100 degrees. In
justice to the Union Club, it shouldbe men-
tioned that the members are generally much
younger and smaller than the members of
Pastime, and their pluck in challenging and
playing a club that boasts of never having
been beaten, is certainly commendable.
The “Columbia” and the “Norwalk" clubs
have consolidated their fOrces under- the
name of “Liberty Base Ball Club” The fol-
lowing are the officers :—Geo. M. Holmes,

’ The first of three; games for the champion-
ship Of the State, came off in Waterbury, on
. Thursday afternoon last, between the We-
terbury‘Club, and the Charter Oak (Cham-
pions) Club, of Hartford, resulting in a deci-
ded victory for the Charter Oak Club, by a
score of 25 to 5. The game was played on
the clear, beautiful grounds Of the Water
bury club and was witnessed by a large
number of spectators. The result was dis-
astrous for the Waterbury‘club, but their
playing was nevertheless excellent, and they
were, perhaps, more frequently applauded
for splendid playing in the fieldlhau were the
champions. Their principal trouble was .in
batting, the skilful pitching of Blackwell be-
ing apparently too much for them. The
next game is to be played on the Charter
Oak grounds in Hartford. and 1f Blackwell
does not pitch will probably be much closer
than the first. ’

MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.—Tile Postmaster
General has put into operation the new
law of Congress on the “Money Order” sys-
tem. ‘Orders of fifty dollars and under are
now sold, while under the old system the
maximum was thirty dollars. The fees for
money orders have also been changed; or-
ders from one to'twenty dollars being now
issued at ten cents; and over twenty to fifty
dollars inclusive, at twenty-five cents. Uu~
der the old law it was necessary for a dupli-
cate to be issued. An affidavit with stamp
was first required, for which the party had to
pay, as also a fee for the new certificate.
Under the new law, postmasters can admin-
ister oaths free of charge, and the certificate
is also furnished without cost, the only ex-
pense to the party being the five cent revenue
stamp. Besides these changes quite‘ a num-
ber of other objectional features have been
removed. 0n the 2d of August three hun-
dred additional money order Offices; mostly
in the South and West, will be put~in oper-

AN EXTRAORDINARY FIREARM.“A very
extraordinal y firearm is being exhibited in
England. it is claimed, by the admirers, that
it will entirely supercede Colt’s revolvers,
Spencer’s‘ seven-shooters, the needle rifle,
the Enfield, or- any old or new-invention.
The principle of it is that in place of having
the chambers Of the revolver attached to the
pistol or ride the arm is, as it were, u skech
lon pistol, having barrel, stock and hammer.-
Tile cartridges are inserted in 'a separate llor-
izontal elongated steel receptacle. . When it
is desired to load tlle'pistOl this thin, elOngat-
ed box containing the cartridges in separate
cells, is inserted in the empty spacelelt‘for
it between the barrel and stock..and then, as
fast as the finger‘cun draw the trigger, it‘pa'ss-
cs through of itself, until all the cartridges,
‘aro fired. Another can then be inserted, and
the firing continued at almost any rapidity,
and for as long a period .as there are recepta-
cles of'cartridges. A rifle could inthls man-
‘ner fire sixty shots 9. minute. , A'child cOuld
be. reloading the empty cartridge cells with
.psrlect s tlety. The principle is also applica-
ble t- big guns. ' The inventor, is Mr. James.

system of making powder nonOXpIOsive.'

Messrs. Stevens, in King Street, and. it may
be consolatory to the , spirit of the mighty

100 guineas,while_lions’..skulls,and other eth-.

How CAN FARMING Bumps: w'rO ,I‘Ar.-—_
This question Wit! discussed by the Water-
ville Farmer’s Club at a late meeting. From
the report of the proceedings in, the “Mail”
we copy the following very conclusive state-
ment, which was madeiamo‘ng others: ‘
“Mr. Percival, the President'of the ‘Club,
led the-discussion by'pro‘po'sing, as- a means
of improvement, sub-soil plowing and a?
deeper and closer pulverization of the soil.
He stated several casesin‘ his. own practice,
all going to show that thee'xtra labor gsve
more than a proportional: increase of Crop.—
Some five, years ago-he thoughtihe well»
known'Cook Farm,’ near the iron foundry.
It was emphatically a worn out farm, as Was
known to all present. A common .word of
caution from the former proprietor was,
‘Boys don’t stirupthe dead -soil.’. Mr. .P.
hadadopted deep, and. thorough plowing,
and on much of his ground had used lll'e'sub-
soil plow. One field for which he had no
dressing. was tlloroughlyplOWed and bar-
rowed and sownwith clover and herd’s grass
early in the fall. The result was more than
a fourfold crop Of hay. Another, field was
a low swale that had‘borne nothing worth
harvesting; It was thoroughly ditched and
the muck removed to the yard and converted.
intodressing. He believed the dressing paid
for the entire labor ofditching and haulin ,'
while‘ the grasscrop was’ the best on‘ 11 a
farm, Theaetwoprocesse‘s‘ he suggested as

AnEfi‘eotual Worm Medecine-
BROWN’S YERMIPUGE COMPI'I'B,
0n. Worn: Lozauons. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adutts, attributed to other causes
is occasioned _by worms. The " Vamnruou Corr-
rr'rs," although drectual in destroying worms. can
do no possible injury to the' most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.
Cmm'mmo Worms requre immediate at-
tention, as neglect of the trouble 'often causes pro-
longed sickness. '
Srmons on Worms rN CHILDREN are often Over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use of
a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown’s “ Vermifugs comp" is
such as to give the best possible efi'ect with safety.

Acknowledge thankfully, thehigh a recla-
tion of their ‘fCELEBRATED PE, ECT-‘
ED SPECTACLES” as shown , by the con-
tinually increasing patronage accorded them
their permanent residence (the past six
years) in Hartford, enables. them at all
times to Offer to the public, the full advan'
tages which the perfect knowledge of the pro-
fession, combined with their extensive prac-
tice confers. They desire to offer here a few
observations, upon the evils resulting from
the wear of badly fitted and common spec-
taclers in purchasing of unskillful dealers, no
guidance as to the proper glass can be . given,
but customers are expected to select for
themselves ; this is usually done. when the
eye is tired "and wearied from trying on sev-
eral pairs, and consequently most dificult
to fit ; as might be expected under such cir-
cumstances,,serious mistakes are made, oc.
casioning much suffering, and in some cases
permanent injury to the eyes.- '
MESSRS. LAZARUS & MORRIS, ex-
amine the eye with a very powerful glass,
and decide at once what is necessary, and
themselves select but one pair Of spectacles,
which will fit accurately and unerringly, ,
apart from the value of the peculiar] con-
structed lens they use, this ability to t the
eye is Of the greatest importance, assuring
to the purchaser ease and comfort, and a
brilliancy and distinctness Of vision, which
to the unitiated is perfectly astonishing.
their charges are moderate, and their motto,
“ HONOR AND INTEGRITY ” ‘
in theconduct of their business, unfailingly
adhered to; the limits of an advertise-
ment preclude the insertion of the many tea.
testimonials they are daily receiving.
