Sherwood, of Michigan, was of course the main attraction, and well did she repay those who came to ..hear her. Her presence is fine, stately, modest and womanly.

It was a rare treat to our people, who unanimously hope that 3he may Do procured again at an early date.— Plaindealer, Marseilles, Ills.

A correspondent sends us the follow, ing, wrttten on hearing the solo by Mrs Sherwood, at the Presbyterian church, before the sermon on the text * She touched the hem of His garment:” Of that wonderful healing touch she sang In tones that were full and clear, And her sweet voice trilled till the whole church rang— It seemed to my ravished ear That the angels would hear it As they sang around the throne, And surely think her singing Was the echo of their own.

The Monon ball club came overlast Friday afternoon, and a good game between them and the Blues was played, in the presence of a pretty large company of spectators. This game resulted in a victory for the home nine, by a score of 18 to 14. The Monons were weakened, somewhat, by the absence of their regular catcher, and although his substitute caught a good game, he could not handle as swift balls as their pitcher is capable of throwing, and the latter was obliged to restrain his muscle to some extent. Noble J. York and E. P. Hcyran kept the score and C. C. Warner umpired the game, Following is the score: monon air lines. Outs. Runs Wm. Byers 2b... * 3 3 Frank Marvin, 3b 2 2 Chas.
