F The No Name club having choice of n position took tho field and the Itesolutos h weut to the bat. At four o'clock tho 11 game was commenced, and played with spirit until its close at about six o'clock, h As evidence of the interest manifested r In the game we will state that* very near- i Jy all the ladies and children remained as k lookers on to the close of the game, al- ji though rain was falling during the last hour. j The game was closely contested up to c the tilth inning, when the score stood 9 to j 7 in favor of the No Names, and the by- ;| standcrs were ready to concede the game 1, to tho Georgians. About this time rain Logan to fall, and the ground already wet, was exceedingly slippery, when it rcquir- a ed lis much skill for tho players to keep J their feet as to play the g.-.nie. And often ' ibe members of either club assumed a i horizontal position, to the merriment of the lookers on. In the sixth inning anil 1 during the rain Abbeville made eight s rounds and when the 'ieorgians went to < abat they were white washed. This seem- t ed to have a dispiriting effect upon the No Names from which they never recov- ^ cred, but continued to fall behind until ] the close of the game, whe n it was aseer- ; tained that Abbeville had scored 25 ; runs while their adversaries had made only 10 runs. The following is the score: . 12345G780 ! No Names, 060120 1 0 3?16 j ltesolutes, 231 10854 4?2SS ' When the result was announced, the Kesolutes were cheered by the spectators, after which the Resolutes"called for three cheers for the No Names, and the call was responded to, with a hearty good will, giving the requisite number of cheers. With a fair altemoon our boys would have found their skill tested to its utmost, as the lirst part of the game showed that they had encountered "foemen worthy of their steel." We do not mean to detract from the others when we say that Mr. li. j A. Jones, of the No Names,especially ex- j cited the admiration of the spectators by his splendid fielding. This entire Club] however are splendid fielders, but the; Kesolutes got the advantage of them at| the bat, froin the fact that their pitcher i gave slow balls, which enabled tho Iteso- j -lutes to knock the ball to such a distance that thej* were enabled to make runsj sometimes covering two or three oases at h time. The pitcher of the llesolutes on the otlier hand gave swift balls and the s. batters on the opposite side found it im-j possible to send the ball to so great a distance. In this lay the success of the llesolutes over the No Names. The No Names are an excellent company of tine looking young gentlemen, and they were handsomely entertained by our people. At night the Sociable Club met at Mr. Smith's, where they were introduced to our best young ladies, when tho No Names contributed much to the! enjoyment of tho evening. Abbeville) remembers the No Names with much' pleasure and trusts that she may again ' have the opportunity of entertaining her, Georgia cousins. Gentlemen, cornel again. , 1 J1 - . .

Some time since she got into the habit of invading the lield of a neighbor, who had his doubts about the propriety of the new project, and he was constantly sending word that she ought to be kept at home. The invariable answer was, "Are you in favor of the fence law?" "So." "Then don't interrupt my stock when they are out grazing.

Et Cetera?Snakes?A Huse Law-Suit REMINISCENCES BY AN EX-AB BIO VILLI AN Ol' FORTY YEARS. 1 hazard, nothing, I feel assured, 3t asserting that the most singular citizen that Abbeville ever contained, foi [a long or short period, was alia 11'To.'' He was a eu riosi (y in his way land had Dickens known him, lie, tlx j Conner, would have added to his rcpu lion as a detector and delineator o i rare character, lie came to Abbeville j from another locality, a city, as he dm i derstood, to read and practice law ; bu I there was a private and accredited-rumor that those having charge of hiir so transferred him, in the hope that f ' change ofsccnesaml associations would I infuse into him practical ideas and I habits better suited to the demands o] mortal life. Precious little Jaw did he read, but he drank in enough to proj cure a license succeeding a most credi itable examination. When so equipj ped he didn't bother about "shingles" land clients ; and if you wanted his le gal services, you might find him sitting on a dry-goods box whittling a stick and cracking jokes with such as he liked; or you might find him iu his room, unless he had gone a fishing, or was engaged in his favorite amusemeut?hunting and killing snakes, lie and I strolled down to the old Block-house one Sunday afternoon, when 1 wasstartled by the report of a pistol near me, and turning around I saw a large snake in the agonies oj death, and while gazing upon it, he J dispatched another near by in the same I way. He had an eye for snakes, and could seS thein when nooneelse could. I objected to his shouting on the Sabbath, and in deference to my scruples he promised to shoot no more. We flolowed the branch half a mile, and in that distance he, with a stick, added to the slaughtered nine moccasins, big and little, and it wasn't the best day and season either for snake-hunting. I estimate, and would give as my opinion, in the most solemn manner, that during his residence fiom 1S4U to 18-14, he made sure work of five hundred snakes, including the veil uiiiuun nnu inn miess, Kir lit; was no respecter of species or class. It is said that a snake has not heen seen in Ireland since the days of St. Patrick, I have never been able to ascertain whether the said Saint destroyed them a la"To," or by charm; nor, indeed, whether there svas a snake in Ireland before &t. Patrick's day. At all events if your vicinity is infested with them, or has even one, it is no faultof "To's," for lie amused himself and served you well, and with a solemnity that bespoke the discharge of a pious duty. "To" was grave in looks and demeanor, and never laugheJ or smiled, but could make you split your sides when he chose, provided you had in your composition a spark of appreciation of the droll or ludicrous. He was also a ladies' man after a fashion, that is to say, he wasn't afraid of them, and could sit by or m front of them at meals, in a boarding house, without looking at or speaking to one of them, no matter how charming to, or melting of, others she was. Though often invited to, he never attended, social parties, and when he went to church he took a seat where there was m danger 01 any woman uuruuing on lntn. 1 remember ;t young female friend of mine, of twenty-two summers, told me confide-dially that .she thought Mr. "To" a very handsome and interesting young gentleman (a part of which she must have guessed, as he had never spoken to her), and that I might, if I chose, give him her opinion of him. I was as good as expected, and all he did and said was this: "She does?" "To" was very popular with all *he young fellows, and they conspired to give him "a start" in his profession, and every one who could control a claim, or had one, or had the funds to invest in a note, did so and sued on it, and some could have been non-suited for non-aye of plaintiff. Your records of the spring term of 1S42 will prove, or nearly so, what I say. "To" succeeded admirably in obtaining *'juil^inent by default" in every ease but one, and that one. with its circumstances, is worth, perhaps,an explanation at this late day, although it is in part a matter of record. That case stands on the docket, "A. F. Posey vs. F. Branch." The note, was signed as 'President of the -Morns Multicaulis Company," and the so-called President was sited individually. The process and service were on the 4th day of March and required the defendant to answer, etc., "on the fourth Monday in March next." When the case was called, "To" responded, "Decree for the plaintiff," when an attorney for the defendant rose up, his head appearing redder than usual and his upper lip having more than its wonted scornful looking twitch, and throwing his eyes full on "To," which was auswered by another mingled with surprise and deliauce, spoke thus to the Court: "May it please your Honor, I ask a non-suit in this ease on two grounds, either of which, alone, I hold, is sufficient to entitle it: First, that the lime to which the defendant is required In answer is twelve months hence; and, secondly, there is an omission of 'President of the Morus Multicaulis Company,' and a failure to identify the defendant; and the execution is void, in that it does not also slate the nameh of the members an?4 stockholders of yuiil foni 11:111 v mihI wlmn.ro the duly constituted and legally appointed officers. The defendant, sir, according to the reading of this process, is required to answer on the 4th Monday of March of next year. In support of the second objection I feel it unnecessary to detain your time with argument and precedents so well known and familiar to one so learned in the law and precedents asyourself. I ask, sir, a non-suit." For the plaintiff, "To" rose up and replied thus: "May it please your Honor, I am quite astonished at I he positions taken j by the attorney for the defendant. I3u1 take jt, sir, that your Honor is fal miliar with the law and precedents Where, sir, is the evidence of such ? legal body as the 'Morus Multicaulis, and that F. Branch is the President of it ? Who is the company and when Iare they? Who put the appendage o ; 'President,' etc., to the name? It was the defendant, sir; his own act ^ni for his own purpose; and so far as ef Peeling the avoidance of his Individua mmmnxiliilitv hp michf. n? well ha\'( I written it, '1<\ Branch, inventor of rut tle.-jiinUe.-s, alligators and grasshoppers. I 111 reply to the other objection, sir, read from Webster's unabridged 'Next. 1. Nearest in place; having m object intervening between itandsom other.' Now. sir, this process was is ;!sucd and executed on the 4th instant and this is the 4th Monday of th ;i'March next;' and if there is no 4tl ij Monday in March between the 4th da' j instant and the 4th Monday of Mart] ?i HfAi jfur, mv gciiiKiiiuii o ; tion is good for a continuance, but no a non-suit; otherwise his objectioi must fall to the ground. I ask, sir, ' decree for the plaintiff." I His Honor, Judge Richardson, prt siding.rcmarked.that the points -.lisei [ had no precedent so far as he 1< new .1 but that, af*er the able arguments c ! the attorneys for the prosecution a:v the defense, he wasof the opinion thu the exceptions were not well taken and that the plaintiff was entitled to " judgment: and it. was so ordered. II A smile lit up the face of the plain I (tiffs attorney and a frown passed ove J that of the defendant's attorney, wit a slight applause among the audience i which was promptly checked by th .Sheriff. Defendant's attorney, how ever, with his usual pluck and persis tence, took an appeal to the Court o Appeals, where the decision of th Court below was affirmed. BgyThi :. important points settled in this cas< are respectfully dedicated to the junio members of the bar. My impressioi j is that one point was abandoned, am * | that only the "March 'next" was sub mitted to the higher Court. Besides "To's" other gifts anr acquirements he had a poetic tal eut; and when Tom Woods, our har 1 ness-maker, thought it beat to leav< in a gallop between two days, on ac r count of a leather transaction, "To' * commemorated his escape in a humor ! ous parody, compounded of John Gil i pin's race, Tain OVShanter and Lori " Ullin's daiijrhter. The last heard gen orally of "To" he was engaged afar ol gold-mining anil indulging in his fa " vorite amusement?killing snakes, t * *_ ^ ' flow to Wash a Wood Floor. I "Top-dust" can be washed ofF withou | great labor. Have the water only mode f ratelv warm, especially when the "floor i.? , of soft wood, because hot water sinks ir [ so rapidly, and occupies so much mor( time in * drying, than cool water upor wood. Drain the mop pretty well befon " putting it upon the floor, "thus wetting the floor but little. The objects is tc wipe up the dust as thoroughly as possl bio, rinsing it off from the mop into the water and changing tho water for cleanei ; very often. If you put much water upon a very dusty floor, you have a big troublesome mud-puddle "to sop up oi rinse away. Experiment has convinced me that a floor of pine or bass wood looks best after cleaning, if a small amount o; water has been put 011 each portion of it, Use as much water as you please on tht whole floor, the more "the better, if you | wasji anu wipe oiuy ?i smui pui uw ? ., * ' time, and then throw out the dirty water, and begin the next division with clean water. The sooner a soft wood floor dries, the better it looks. I have seen women work very hard to scrub a pine 01 bass wood floor white, and the result has been quite disappointing. They would put a great deal of water upon the floor, and then scrub with a broom hard and long; after this would sweep all the dirty water out, and rinse the floor with as many waters as they could afford. When at last the well-soaked floor was dry, it was unnoubtedly clean, but it looked dark and somewhat weather-beaten, in consequence of remaining wet so long. It is a question of health with me, in winter, to havo a floor dry as soon as possible. A little lye in the water has an excellent effect upon floors. It may be poured directly upon decided greasy spots, but the* whole floor is whitened with very little hard rubbing, if a small amount of lye is mixed with tho water. Too much makes the boards yellow. How much should be used depends upon its strength. Murder Will Out.
