.ggg-L-1,-SUbbed to Death. Last Friday night at the Needmore school house, a few miles east of town. Frank Ficklin was stabbed with a pocket knife by Hugh McCain. Both are young men and fanners by occupation. Ficklin was attending a meeting of the Evening Lights, a religious sect, which were holding a meeting at the school house. Mcpam and other young men were on the outside, and it is said that they were disturbing the meeting and that Ficklin went out to ask them to be quiet, when he became engaged in a quarrel with McCain, who gave him the fatal stab. The knife blade entered the left side just below the last rib and penetrated clear through the abdomen wall. * Ficklin at once went home and Dr.Link was summoned at once. He dressed the wound and the next morning went back accompanied by Drs. Rice and Lamar, when a closer inspection and operation was made. Ficklin lingered until Sunday night when he died. McCain was arrested Monday morning and gave bond in the sum of $1,000 to appear to the charge of manslaughter. \ Coroner Wilder held an inquest Tuesday ^morning, examining a number of witnesses to get the evidence. The funeral took place Monday afternoon and was largely attended.

Base Ball. The Petersburg Pirates were hired by the oonuuittee of arrangements at Oakland City to play the team at that place on the fourth. Accordingly the boys went down with the hopes of haring a hard game on their hands. The game was played in the meadow at the fair grounds, which was a very poor ground being rough and very uneven. It must be said that the Oakland boys done very well considering that they had played bid a few games this year, and on good grounds the Pirates would have shut the Oaklands out, but as it were they managed to get in throe runs on balls that could not be handled. Greene and McCarthy were the battery for the Pirates and Peart, and Shurig for Oakland. Greene struck out 19 and Pearn seven. The boys slugged the Sphere for all there was in it. The score by innings was as follows: Innings 123456789 R II E Oakland City 0 0 1 0*0 8 0 6 0 8 8 19 Petersburg 4 0 8 2 3 2 2 0 0 16 21 3 One of the best played games of ball of the season was that of Wednesday after noon between the Pirates and the Jasper Reds. The game abounded in fine plays and the best of feeling between the players. The Jasper boys were considerably off in their fielding as the error column shows. The hitting of the home club was terrific, being much harder than the score would indicate Blair pitched a splendid game, striking out ten men. Wilhelm struck out five of the Pirates and pitched a very good game, but his support in the field was very poor. The first base playing of Miller was the finest ever seen on the home grounds, in fact all the top played sensational hall, taking care of everything that came their way, and not making a fielding error. But two men on each side were sent to liases on

The Alstatt residence at Winslow was [consumed by fire last Sunday about mid- ' night together with the contents. The loss was about $900, which it is understood was insured. The origin of the fire was very mysterious, and Carter, the owner of the bloodhounds at Seymour, was telegraphed for. Arthur Carter arrived here Tuesday afternoon and was immediately taken to Winslow with the dogs and put upon the scent. They made two trials, and each time went to the same place. It is said that an arrest was made but at the preliminary the accused was released the evidence not l*eing sufficient to bind him over to., court. Mrs. Rodie Noah, of this place, was taken in the night with cramping pains and the next day diarrhoea set in. She took half a bottle of blackberry cordial but got no relief. She then sent to me to see if I had anything that would help her. 1 sent her a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and the first dose relieved her. Another of our neighbors had been sick for about a week and had tried, different remedies for diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I sent him this same remedy. Only four doses of it were required to cure him. He says he owes his recovery to this wonderful remedy.—Mrs. j Mary Sibley, Sidney, Michigan. For sale by Adams & Son. . j I
