The base ball game which is to be
played bet ween, the barbers and printeis
of this city, and which was advertised
for Monday, has been postponed until
Thursday, as arrangements for the game
cannot be made before that time.
C. Whopper, of the Journal, who
for some time lias restrained himself,
iave vent to his hidden feelings in a few
line from his condensed vocabulary, and
we suppose since he is relieved of such
an unworthr burden, that he liveth more
contented.
Mrs. and Miss Church, of Omaha,
have leased the building formerly occu
pied by Mrs. Coverdale, and are at pres

household effects in and open it up as a
boarding house next week. We welcome
them among us and trust that their success

refused to give any information but

that the generosity on his part was oc
casioned by the appearance of a little
girl visitor at hu home.

giving full particulars and several words
of encouragement to the ambitious couple

to embark on the uiatrimotial sea again.
The contagious fever which is raging
in our midst has taken hold of eighteen
more men. It has reached some of the
Ii. & M. em2loyes and broke out among
them to that extent. They will appear'
on the diamond which L located on
Fitz's forty this afternoon at 5 o'clock.

If the bease ball fever is not kept sub

of the city will uot be numerous enough
to hold the invalids.
The editor of the Journal in the is
sue of that paper last night apparently,
by the abusive or sarcastic article he gaye
publication to, wished to incite what he
himself was condemning. Little has been
said concerning the sheet spoken of at
any time of late, and never a word of
criticism appeared in this paper unless it
was drawn out by provocation on their
pait. He untruthfully accused us of us
ing indecent language towards them," an
act which the public knows has never
been indulged in by us. He is invariably
throwing out slurs which he awaits to
bring him an answer. For a paper that
is always criticising another, the Journal
floats & long way into the wrong stream,
a stream which has a falls that will carry
the Journal and its officious pilot where
they will both take a drop to themselves.
If the paper did not so decidedly misrep
resent things as they happen, and would
drop atruthful item into its columns oc-
casionally.there might a be a foothold for

dismissed as no evidence could be secur

The postmaster of La Platte arrived
in the city this morning in pursuit of a
young man, stating that he had broken
