I arrived early in the morning and imme diately had a long conference with my client. The stolen bag had b' en recovered, as well as the letters which the money had been rifled. These letter were given me for my examination, and I returned them to the prosecuting attorney. Having got through my preliminaries about noon, and as the case would not come off before the next day, I went into court in the after noon to sec what was going on. The first ease that came up was one of theft, and the prisoner was a young girl not more than seventeen years of age, named Elizabeth Mad worth. She was very pretty, and bore that mild, innocent look which we seldom find in a culprit. She had been weeping profusely, but as she found so many eyes upon her, she became too frightened to weep more. The complaint against her set forth that she had stolen a hundred dollars from a Mrs. Nasby, and as the case went on 1 found that this Mrs. Nasby, a wealthy widow living in the town, was the girl’s mistress. The poor girl declared her in nocenee in the wildest terms but circum stances were hard against her. A hundred dollars in bank notes had been stolen from her mistress's room, nnd she was the only one that had access there. At this juncture, w hen the mistress was upon the witness stand, a young man came and caught me by the arm. He was a fine looking man, and big tears stood in his eyes. "lhey tell me you are a good lawyer," he whispered. "1 am a lawyer,’’ I answered. "Then do save her! You certainly can do it, for she is innocent.” “Is she your sister?” “No sir,” he added, “but—blit—” Here he hesitated. “Has she no counsel “None that’s good for anything—no body that'll do anything lor her. O, save her"; and I'll give’you all I've got. I can't give you much —but I can raise some thing.” I reflected a moment. I cast my eyes tow ai ds the prisoners, and she was at that moment looking at me. She caught my eye, and the volume of entreaty 1 read in her glance resolved me in a moment. I arose and went to the girl, and ask ed if she wished me to defend her. .She said yes. I then informed the Court that I was ready to enter the case, and was admitted at once. The loud murmur of sat isfaetion that ran through the crowd, told me where the sympathies of the people were. 1 asked for a moment's cessation, that I might speak to tny client. I went and sat down by her sale. 1 asked her to state candidly the whole case. She told me she had lived with Mrs. Xasby nearly two years, and had never had any trouble before. About two weeks ago, she said, her mistress missed a hundred dollars. “She missed it from her drawer,” the girl said to me," and asked me about it. 1 said I knew'nothing about it. That even ing, I know Nancy Luther told Mrs. Nas by that she saw me take the money from the drawer—that she'watehed mo through the keyhole. Then they went to my trunk and found twenty-live dollars of the miss ing money there. But, sir, I never took it, and somebody must have put it there.” I than asked’her if she suspected any one. “I don't know,” she said, “who could have done it but Nancy. She has never liked me because she thought 1 was better treated than she. She is the cook. I was the chambermaid.” She pointed Nancy Luther out to me. She was a stout, bold-faced girl,somewhere about five-and-twonty years old, witli a low forehead, small, gray eyes, a pug nose and thick lips. 1 caught her glance at onee, as it rested on the fair young pris oner, and the moment I detected the look of hatred which I read there, I was con vinced that she was the rogue. “Nancy Luther did you say that girl's name was?” I asked, for a new light had broken in upon me. "Yes. sir." I left the court room and went to the prosecuting attorney and asked him lor the letters 1 had handed him—the ones that had been stolen from the mail hag. He gave them to me, and having selected one I returned the rest and told him 1 would see ho had the one t kept before night. 1 then returned to the court room, and the case went on. ,>lrs. .misdj’ rosumeu ner testimony. She said she intrusted the room to the pris oner’s cure and that no one else had access there, save herself. Then she described about missing the money, and closed by telling how she found twenty-five dollars of the missing money in the prisoner's trunk. She could swear it was the iden tical money she had lost, in two tens and one iive-dollar bank note. “Mrs. Nasby,” said 1, “when you first missed the money, had you any reason to believe that the prisoner had taken it “No, sir,” she answered. “Had you ever detected her in any dis honesty “No, sir." “Should you have thought of searching her trunk, had not Nancy Luther advised and informed you "No sir.” Mrs. Nasby left the stand, and Nancy Luther took her place. She came up with a bold look, and upon me cast a defiant look, as if to say, “Trap me if you can.” She gave her evidence as follows She said that on the night the money was taken she saw the prisoner going up stairs, and from the sly manner in which she went up she suspected all was not right. So she followed her np. “F.liza beth went to Mrs. Nasby’s room and shut the door after her. 1 stooped down and looked through the keyhole, and saw her take the money and put.it in her pocket. Then she stooped down and picked up the lamp, and as I saw she was coming out 1 hurried away.” Then she went on, told how ahe had in* formed her mistress of this, and bow ska proposed to search the girl's trank. I called Mrs. Nasby to the stand. “You said that no one save yourself amt the prisoner had access to your room,” I said. “Now, could Nancy Luther hare entered the room, if she wished “Certainly, sir; I meant that no oae else had any right there.” 1 saw that Mrs. Nasby, though natural ly a hard woman, was somewhat moved by poor Elizabeth's misery. “Could your cook have known, by any means in your knowledge, where your money was?” “Yes, sir; for she has often come to my room while I was there, and I have often given her money to buy provisions of mar ket men who happened to come aloag with their wagons." “One more question: Have yon known of the prisoner having used any money since this money was stolen No sir.” I now called Nancy Luther back, and she began to tremble a little, though her look was as bold and defiant as ever. “.Miss Luther,” I said, “why did you not inform your mistress at once of what you had seen, without waiting for her to ask about the lost money?” Because 1 could not at once make up my mind to expose the poor girl,” she an swered promptly. “Yon say you looked throngh the key hole and saw her take the money?” “Yes, sir.” “Where did she place the lamp when she did so?” •‘On the bureau.” “In yonr testimony you said she stooped down when she picked it up. What do yon mean by that?” The girl hesitated, and finally she said she did not mean anything, only that she picked up the lamp. "Very well,” saut l now long nave yon been with Mrs. Nasby?” “Not quite a year,sir.” How much does she pay you week T' “A dollar and three-quarters.” Have you taken up any of your pay since you have been there?” Yes,sir.” "IIow much?” I don’t know,sir.” Why don't you know?” How should I I have taken it at different times, just as I wanted it, and kept no account.” Now, if you had wished to harm the prisoner, could you have raised twenty-five dollars to put in her trunk.?” No sir,” she replied with virtuous in dignation. “Then yon have not kid up any money since you have been there?” “No, sir, only what Mrs. Nasby may owe me.” "Then you did not have any twenty five dollars,when you came there?” "No, sir f. and what’s more, the money found in the girl’s trunk was the money Mrs. Nasby lost. You might have kndWn that, if you’d remember vrtiat you ashed her.” this was said very sarcastically, and was intended ns crusher upon the i idea that she should have put the money in the prisoner’s trunk. However I was not overcome entirely. “Will you tell me if you belong to this State?” "1 do sir.” “In what town?” She hesitated, and for an instant the bold look for? ook hey. But she finally answered. I next turned to Mr. Nasby. “Do you ever take a receipt from your girls when you pay them?” “Always,” "Can vou send and get one of them for me?” “She has told you the truth, sir, about the payments,” said Mrs. Nasby. “O, I don’t doubt it.” I replied, “but particular proof is1 the thing for the court room. So, if you can, I wish you would procure the receipt.” She said she would willingly go, if the Court “aid so. The Court did say so, and she went. Her dwelling was not far off, and she soon returned and handed me four receipts which I took and examined. They were signed in a strange, staggering hand by the witness. “Now, Nancy Luther,” I said, turning to the witness, and speaking in a quick, startling tone, at the same time looking her sternly in the eye, “please tell the court and jury, and me, where you got the seventy-five dollars you sent in your letter to your sister in Somers?” At this she started as though a volcano burst at her feet. She turned pale as death, and every limb shook violently. I waited until the people could have an op portunity to see her emotion, and then I repeated the question. •I—never—sent any,” she gasped. “You did I thundered, for I was ex cited now.

••1—l until t, sae imiiuy muuereu, grasping the railing by her side for sup port. “May it please your honor and gentle men of the jury,” I said as soon as 1 kx k ed the witness out of countenance, “I came here to defend a man who was ar rested for robbing the mail, and in the course of my preliminary examination I had access to the letters which had been torn open and robbed ot money. When I entered upon this ease, and heard the name of the witness pronounced, I went out and got this letter which I now hold, for 1 remembered having seen one bearing the signature of Nancy Luther. This letter was taken from the mailbag, and it contained seventy-five dollars, and by looking at the post-mark you will observe that it was mailed the day after the hun dred dollars were taken from Mrs. Nasby's drawer. 1 will read it to you, if yon please.” The Court nodded.assent, and I read the following, which was without date, save that made by the postmaster upon the out side. 1 give it verbatim “Sister Dorcus; I cend ye hear seventy five dollers which I want yon to cepe for mo till L cum hum 1 cant cepe it cos ini a fee red it will git stole, don’t speck wun word to a liven sole bout this, I don't want nobodee to no ive got eny money, yu wont nowwilyu. 1 am tbst rate only that code fornothing snipe of Ida Mad worth is hear

Nancy Luther,-’ “Now, your Honor," I said, as 1 gave him the letter, anil also 'he receipts, “you will see that the letter is directed to Dorcas Luther, Somers, Montgomery county. And von will observe that one hand wrote that letter and signed the receipt, and the jury will also observe. And now 1 will only add, it is plain to see how the hun dred dollars were disposed of. Seventy five dollars were sent off for safe keeping, while the remaining twenty-five dollars were placed iu the prisoner's trunk, lor the purpose of covering the real criminal. Of the tone of parts ol the letter, jou must judge. I now leave my client's ease in your hands." The case was given to the jury immedi ately following their examination of the letter. They had heard from the witness s own mouth that she had no money of her own, and without leaving their seats they returned a verdict of “Not guilty.” 1 will not describe the scene that fol lowed but. if Naoev Luther had not been immediately arrested for theft, she would have been’ obliged to week protection ol the officers, or the excited people would have maimed her at least, if they had not done more. The next morning 1 received a not*handsomely written, in which I was told that the within was but a slight token of the gratitude due me in my efforts in behalf of the poor, defenceless maiden. It was signed “Several Citizens,” and contained one hundred dollars. Shortly afterwards the youth, who first begged me to take up the case, called upon me with all the money he could raise; but 1 showed him that 1 had already been paid, and refused his hard earnings. Before 1 left town I was a guest at his wedding— my fair client being the happy bride. fails $»mttl>fr Journal aususta. gam ay MORNING. DEC. 0. 1870. tiie caxadas. The Mewage of President Grant excites, as we antieepated it would, considerable commotion in the Canadas. It so effectu ally stripped the thin varnish from their pretensions to power and dominion, hold ing them to be only the subordinate and tmrsltag of Qreut Britian, as they really #h«, that they feelitisesly nor do they Ml leas keenly the direct language of the President about their coume upon the fish ery question,and the plain spirit which the Message evinces to endure none of their high handed proceedings either about that or the navigation of the St. Lawrence. The Interest of the Canada* is closely allied to that of the United States. Their alliance with Great Britain is unnatural. They have been tied to her by their form of government, by tlie control of their business exercised through English mer cantile houses and English capital, fay their dependence vpon England ior de fence and support, by blood and associa tion. and yet it was all a forced connec tion so far as material interests arc con cerned. and ought to have been dissolved long ago. There is neither honor nor success to them as a people on account oi it. They, are but children when they should be men. They lean ujwu England where thqjr should lean upon themselves. They are mortaged to English capitalists, •ad robbed to support English pride, arn bttion and wealth. Their trade is forced into unnatural and unprofitable channels. It Is compelled to cross the Atlantic when it might find a better market dose at its own doer. The business of the Canadas flows natural)}' to the United States. Here are the best of markets for all they pro duce. The relations of the people of the Dominion and our people should be of the most friendly character, and would be were it not for the foreign influence which causes an adverse feeling. They might become a part of our Union, with all the rights, privileges and powers of a soverign State, having a voice in all national mat ters, instead of being as now a mere trib utary to a nation that has ny further inter est in their welfare than to drniu their country of its wealth. Now every step the Cauudas take iu this fishery business the way they are going is damaging to them. It is not unfriendli ness they should cultivate on our part toward them but friendly relations. How much would it hurt us though they built a Chinese wall bet ween ns and them, and stopped all intercourse Or what do we really care about their bluster over the spherics or the St. Lawrence? We kuow by a little, the repeal of the reciprocity treaty, aud they know as well as we, that it is not wholesome for them to be at va rianee with us; and it they can stand it to j suffer the detriment which it is to them we i can stand it to see them take the course j which they do. Their snarling about the fisheries is to their disadvantage; it' it were particularly troublesome to us we eouldsnapup fisheries and Dominion at j one bite. Uut the nursling is not the, {tarty President (irant proposes to deal with. It is England herself that he holds responsible, because England is the party at the bottom of this matter, and with her only is the )tow er to defend it. The Can adas should know better than to run into the difficulty before them, but if they are. so blind as to go on piling up provocations to nutlut enemies of those whom they ought to seek to make tln-ir best friends, they must take the consequence. We believe we can answer for it that the (Jnitod States desire nothing more in this fishery business than their rights. They do not desire from it any pretext to mafco war uj*on Canada, to force her to annexation, or to do anything not consis tent with the honor of the Dominion or detrimental to the interests of our neigh bon. We tear the Canadas have an idea that we are exeeediagiy desirous of an nexing them to our government, hut they siaeaixe themselves if they think so. They am dm mm who should dmire mmexatiou. fta adfwatagwe would be theirs. We view it in that light, and wonder that they do not improve the golden opportunity which they have, but compulsory annexation is not thought of seriously in this count!*}, and will not be very soon. If Canada de sires to provoke this government to hos tility or unfriendly acts, she will neither show spirit nor wisdom, for she bloaters because she expects somebody el bring bim to this city and subject him to a rigid examination. Telling the boy's mother that they w anted hint to go to the Head of Westport with tin ni. and that he would not retu n until this morning, the party took Cuff into their vehicle and started lor New Ued lord. On the road from Howard's house to the Head ot Westport, the boy was quite talk ative in regard to the watch (he had discov ered that his companion* were officers) und denied having stolen it. Cuff thought there w as to be a slight examination befure Justice Gifford at the Head of Westport, but when lie tound that no stop was made at Gifford's house, and the team was coming directly to this city, be became very reticent, having little if any conversation with the officers. Arriving here about y 1*. M., the boy was locked up, and District Attorney Marston had a consultation with the officers in regard to what was best to l>e done. Th* circumstances were very strong against tlio boy, and the stories which he told in regard to himself very contradictory. At Cuffs house the officers ob tained a shot gun, a pouch with shot in it, of tiie size ot those found id Howard's body, and a bundle of clothes taken off by the boy in the early part of the week, was al*o secured. The clothes were coveted with blood, but Cuff bad been helping a man do some butchering, and it was expected that a microscopic exam ination of the clothing would have to be made. Hut murder will out, and the boy, unable to wiihs and the rigid examination of Perry and Dayton, finally made a cleaa breast, stating the author of the deed and implicating him self. The examination by the two offices was held in the Marshal’* office last evening. Com mencing with the stolen watch, Perry and Dayton, *tep by step, despite evasion and lies, only too apparent, unraveled the story of the murder, until the boy, hedged in with false hood* on every side in regard to the watch, the money, and his whereabouts on the morn ing of Tuesday last, and seeing no refuge from confession, told a plain, »tiu:ghtf *wiud story of the deed. His story is substantially as follows: He has been intimate with a boy named John Pet tis, about his own age, and who lives near by, and the two boys knew that Howard had quite a sum of money on his person. Cuff robbed the old man of’his watch, as the people sus pected. and the two boys were thoroughly ac quainted with the habits of the old man and the premises, 'l'lie boys apparently had con siderable talk in regard to the money, and on Monday of last week they met, when Pettis suggested that Cutr should take a pistol which Pettis owned, break into Howard's bouse at night, cover himself with a bedquilt so tin old man would not know him, and obtain the money, shooting Howard in ease lie was dis covered. This Cuff declined to do, saying that Pettis wanted him to do all the work, and that his own people would find him out; and finally the boys separated, with the under standing that Pettis should undertake the rob bery on Tuesday morning, andthat CufTshould be there to assist him. Oil Tuesday morning, Cuff says, about 4 o'clock, be woke up just as a pistol shot was fired. Telling his mother lie was going to see about some traps, he hurried to Howard’s house just as Pettis struck the old man with an axe on the doorsteps of the house. He then saw Pettis drag tiie body to the bars and endeavor to get it through. At that time Cut! was discovered by the other boy, who called to him tjr assistance. This assistance Cufl willingly rendered, and the body was dragged into the meadow, where it Was searched. Tht old man's wallet, a key. a knife and some to bacco were found in the pocket of his pants. Pettis took possession of the money and key. and the other articles were left oil the body The boya then commenced the grave, digging alternately, until, Cufl' says, it began to grow light and they were alarmed. The corpse Was placed in the grave, but it was not deep enough, and Cufl’ took it out. The boys then had a consultation, and finalh Pettis went to the house and obtained the saw and axe, and while Cuff watched, Pettis cut oil the leg. Cuff says they could not drag him on tiie wall, for he was very heavy, and that was the reason for severing the limb. The boys then hurriedly carried the remains into the* woods, partially covered them with leaves, and left them. Un the way in one. l ettis tom t un that lie was hid behind a wall when Howard came from the barn with the inilk-pail. The old man saw him, and asked him what he was doing there. Pettis made no reply, but fired at him, just ak he reached the door step. The old man sat down his milk-pail and then fell. Pettis ran out, attacked the victim with an axe. and at that moment Cuff appeared on the scene. Cuff says Pettis gave him a ten dollar bill and some scrip on the way home, but does not know how much money he retained. The wallet, pistol and key were thrown in the woods. Un Sunday night Pettis cautioned CufTagainst telling anything. Cufl says Pet tis was very much frightened and quivering all over while they were handling Howard, but that he did not feel scared. Cuff is a boy about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and is not very strongly built. He has a thorough negro face, with a very low fore head. and thick bushy hair. His answers to the numerous questions of the officers dis played considerable cuuning, and he does not appear to he impressed with the magnitude oi the deed. His story was carefully prepared, but not plausible enough, and the'close ques tioning of the officers soon broke it down, and the above narraiive, drawn out by piecemeal, was obtained. At hair-past one this morning officers Perry and Dayton left for Westport to arrest Pettis, and at the hour of writing had not returned. REPORT OF SECRETARY OF WAR. The annual report of Secretary Belknap shows that the regular army is composed of 2,488 officers and 34,870 enlisted men, 31,178 of whom compose the ten rtgimentsof cav alry, the five regiments of artillery and the twenty five regiments of infantry, the remain ing 3,092 being engineer troops, recruiting de tachments and others not enumerated among troops of the line. These men are stationed in forty-two states and territories at two hun dred and three organized military posts. The establishment of new post* as settlements ad vance is constantly rendered necessary, and the expense of providing temporary shelter ii. ineleui- ft regions of the country is unavoid bly great.

M8 07 The deficiency will be 1,6 3, 00 U0 32 002,318 07 A reduction below the expenditures for the year 1869-70 of 4,636,503 11 One million four hundred thousand dollar, of the deficiency above indicated is occasion ed by the fact that in the estimate made by the department for the year ending June 30. 1871, no amounts were included for certain purposes, because of balances of old appro priations believed lo be applicable to the pay ment of expenses for the current year, which balances were rendered unavailable by the act ot July 12, 1870. The total estimates for the year ending June 30, 1872, is 820,383,098, a reduction be low the expenditures of the previous year ot 83,518.350 07, and below the last appropri ation of 8805,150 07. Ui this estimate for the next fiscal year the sum of $1,002,725 is also necessitated by the prohibition of the use oi unexpended balances of former years. The estimates ot the Chief of Engineers for fortifications, improvement of rivers and har bors, public buildings and grounds, and Wash ington Aqueduct, arc submitted separately as presented by that officer: Fortifications other works of defence $3 690.206 Itivcr uud harbor improvrmeats, 8,842,450 Public buUoings ami grounds, and Wash ington Aqueduct, 1.108.489 Total,, *t.t.uV',i:w Surplus ilriiught animals of the Quartermas j tcr's Department, to the number of C 345, i were sold, producing #248.135; useless depots i were broken up, and a reduction of l,08o i i the number of clerks was made, thereby effect ing a saving in salaries of $774,672 per annum. Kxpericnce shows that a further reduction can be borne without detriment to the service, and I will consequently be made. In the cities of New York and Brooklyn rents were before 1 paid for buildings for aimy uses at the rate of 356,500 per annum. To lessen this expendi tore a large storehouse, at a moderate cost, has been erected on Governor's Island, New York harbor, by which means the storage ot property can be concentrated in the new build i ing, and in one building in the city of New i York, a saving in rents of the sum of #31,500 i annually. The Secretary gives a detailed statement of the sales of surplus arms and ordnance, the i closing of the recruiting offices, the reduction of the army, the discharge of supernumerary officers and other matters which have been I currently reported. During the past year 53 cadets of the Mili tary Academy have been graduated and ap pointed second lieutenants in the army; 17 have been discharged for marked deficiency in conduct or studies; 6 have resigned; 1 has deserted and 4 have died. New cadets to the number of 65 have been admitted, and the corps at present numbers 338 tuembeis. But little progrsss has been made by the railway companies in settling the debts con tracted by them at the close of the war by the purchase of the material of the military rail roads. The total debt remaining due and un I paid on June 30. 1870, was #6,912,106,07, principally southwestern companies. Their payments during the year amounted to the sum of $3G5,820 43, but owing to the amount of interest the entire reduction was only 858.128 04. By the act of Congress of March 2, 18til, the sum of $50,000 was appropriated for the construction of a new post in the Valley of the Red River of the North, and $5,000 for surveys to be made in connection therewith. During the year troops have been located at the point selected, nnd the construction of the post known as Fort Pembina proceeded with. The records of the Department show the burial, in the national and other cemeteries, of 333,000 persons. In addition to those buried in the seventy-three national ceme teries, there are very many soldiers interred in private cemeteries, near hospitals in which they died. Measures are in rapid progress for carrying out the law which requi.e* the cemeteries to be properly enclosed. During the year the Subsistence Depart ment has been enabled in an increased degree to purchase supplies near the points where they are required for consumption by the troops, obtaining them at much less expense for transportation. During the year 1809 70 large quantities of supplies were furnished for the Indian department, for Indians on res ervations on the upper Missouri river and in the Indian territory. The expenses thereby incut red, amounting to $1,600,000, are to be refunded, and bills therefore are prepared for ptesentation to the Indian department. The number of commissioned medical officers for duty with the troops on June 30, 1870, was 147. Therewere217 military posts, besides many detachments, each requiring the servi ces of a medical officer. Hence contract surgeons were employed, the number of reg ular medical officers being inadequate. The Secretary's report nnd s iggestions relative to the coast defences have been pub lished already, and also his rematks as to the employment of the army in the Soi th to main tain the authority of the United States. In the ordnance Department the essi nates are far in advance of any submited sinie the close of the war, for the reason that no appropria tion for ordnance or stores was rt quested or made for the present year. The un xpended balances were placed beyond the reach of the Ordnance Ilureau, and much embarrassment was caused in procuring supplies for filling requisitions and in taking care of stores on hand. The property of the United States at Harper's Ferry was sold in November and December. 1809, in accordance with the terns prescribed by law. It is recommended that Koine Arsenal, New York; Champlain Arse nal, Vermont; Mount Vernon Arsenal, Ala bama; Apalachicola Arsenal, Florida; and North Carolina Arsenal, North Carolina, be sold, and that the captured lands in Shreve port, Louisiana and Marshal and Jefferson, Texas, and in Marion and Davis counties, Texas, be also disposed of. The ‘’Watchman and Reflector,1’ one of the leading religious journals in the country, in its issue of June 23d, in alluding to the ad vertisement of the California Wine- Company, No 73 Milk street, Boston makes the follow ing remarks: ‘■None but narrow-minded extremists will be troubled with the advertisement in our col umns of pure wine, and all others will be glad to see it. We insert it in the interest of temperance and good morals. There are times and circumstances in which wine is necessary and useful; wine is needed for the invalid and for the communion table, and when the market is flooded with impure, poi sonous. soul and body destroying compounds, it is our duty, as it is that of every honest news paper, to let the public know where that which is pure can be obtained. This is a sound po sition, and the impracticable radicals are wel come to make all the capital out of it which they are able It is a position which com mends itself to every church member who would exclude vile compounds from the Lord's table, to every honest physician, and to the public generally. We hope never to be so carried away with a theory as to lose our com mon sense." The California Wine is for sale in Augusta, by F. W. Kinsman, Water street, and leading druggists.

ILocal anli S&tate Netos The Junior Championship. As the baseball season of 1870 has fairly closed, it may not be uninteresting to review the career of the Dirigo club of this city, since organized. It was formed in the spring of 1807. Seven games were played during that year, with the principal clubs in Kennebec county, the Dirigo’s winning them all. In their second season they played nine games, of which they won seven. They met two suc cessive defeats in the early part of the season, after which they gave themselves hard prac tice, and on Aug. 10th, won the ‘-l’rize Hat,” emblem of the Junior Championship of Maine, from the North Stars of Portland, by a score of 20 to 18. They succeeded in keeping it through the season. Having thus become champions and obliged to accept all challenges from the junior clubs throughout the State, it became necessary to have a strong team for 1809. Accordingly the nine were fully re organized and drilled with the determination to retain their laurels. The season was an exciting one, and showed that their claim to the title of champion was founded on supe rior playing. They played ten games, of which they won nine. Six of these were con tested for the prize bat; the Dirigos winning them all. They met but one d> feat, and that by the Fairmounts. (senior) of Malboro’, Mass. In Sept, they made a trip to Massachusetts, where they played three of the best junior clubs in the vicinity of the ‘-Hub." The games were played on the I'nion Grounds, against the Kxcelsior’s and Star’s of Boston, and the Bay State club of Lynn, (then holders of the Champion Bat of that State). The Dirigos were triumphant in each game, and by their brilliant playing, shew themselves entitled to rank as one of the first junior clubs in New England. The past season of 1870 has been one of unusual interest among the juniors of this State. The Association rule allows “that a club which shall hold the bat for two years, shall become its permanent owners.” Accordingly tiie junior clubs of the State redoubled their efforts to win it from the Dirigos. The Eagles of Augusta, Kesolute and North Star cl^bs of Portland and the Passag.’s ef Belfast each endeavored to carry off the prize, hut were defeated. The latter game was the best ever played in Augusta and the Dirigos may well be proud of their victory. One game was forfeited to them by the Kurcka's ot ltiver side. In August they made their second tour to Massachusetts, and while there played seven games against the smartest junior clubs in the State. They lost one game each to the Bay State club of Lynn and the I'na’s of Charles town. They defeated the Excelsior's of llos ton, Young America of Waltham, Haverhill's of Haverhill. Aurora’s of Chelsea and Lin coln’s of Lowell. The match with the l!ay States was played for the Junior Champion ship of New Er gland although the Dirigos were beaten, they were satisfied that they could play a better game, and challenged them to another game, to take place, either on the Union Grounds or at Lynn. The Hay States refused to accept the challenge, and conse quently the matter was dropped for that sea son. The Dirigos are the only junior club in Maine that ever ventured out of the State, and their enterprise and pluck has deserved the success which it has attained. Of the ten games played with the leading junior clubs of the Bay State, the Dirigos have won eight. The record of our champions would do credit to any club. The late con vention of the “National Junior Base Ball Association,” to which the Dirigos belong, elected one of its members as Vice President. We give below the average of the Dirigos for the past year: Players. Sorutou, e., Morse, p., Parker, 8. a., Moore, 1st b., Blnnding. 2d b.
