The return game with the South Lon donderry (im on their grounds last Saturday proved exciting. Townshend started In with Ave safe hits off Howard, the Dartmouth pitcher, which netted three runs but from then on they only found him for four safe ones nnd were only able to score three more runs, yet this would have been enough had Lincoln In the fifth stopped Clayton's drive. This error, with a general mix-up of wild throws, was responsible for three runs and the game. This was the first close game Ober has ever pitched and to put him up against an experienced team of acknowledged heavy hitters was not only a test of his endurance but of his cool headedness and he surely won his title of "Admirable,'' by his steady work, striking out six men nnd allowing only four hits In the eight Innings pitched by him, Lawrence going Into the box In the ninth when Ober refused to pitch another ball, which, under the circumstances, was very childish. It is a long hard drive from Townshend to South Londonderry, yet It is always a pleasure to meet and play such a clean lot of fellows as make up the "Deny" team and It Is hoped there will be several more games with them.

Ont, Expositor, June C, 1906, Is one of Interest to Townshend people: "A large audience was present last evening at Zlon Presbyterian church to witness the production of Mendelssohn's oratorio, 'St Paul.' All entered most heartily Into the work and from start to finish the oratorio was eagerly listened to and much enjoyed. The solo work particularly was done In a delightful manner. Miss Dale, formerly of this city, where she has won many distinct triumphs by her beautiful voice nnd manner, was the soprano soloist of the evening, and her rendering of the two great arias 'Jerusalem, Thou That Klllest' and 'I will Sing of Thy Great Mercies,' will long linger In the memory of each listener. Miss Dale's voice has gained In every way since her work and studies have been carried on In Chicago, and all predict for her a most brilliant future In her calling. The work of the chorus was grand, showing a round rich body of tone, while In attacks and shading they were well nigh perfect. This body of singers have done a great and lasting work here In Brantford while under Mr. Kenyon's direction and It is to be sincerely hoped that Mr. Kenyon's successor can continue this work. It was announced on the pro gram that Mr. Kenyon will give a fare well concert on the evening of June 26." About August 1 Mr. Kenyon will change his place of residence from Brantford to Ottawa, where he will be musical director In the Dominion Methodist church, the largest in the city, the position being much better financially than where Is at present.

Evans Is In Burlington this week to attend the fourth annual ex hibition of the Champlatn Kennel club. Evans Brothers made nn exhibit with their thoroughbred English Setters, and the Burlington Free Press of yesterday announced that they had been awarded three first premiums. That there Is something In a reputation was proved last Monday night by the crowd who attended tho entertainment given In town under the big tent spread on the land near Charles Carlcton's place. The Lucler company came here ten years ago and gave a clean entertainment, so when the posters were put out this year many were ready to take in the show, feeling they were to get something for their money, and they were not disap pointed. Ormando J. Jennlson, brother of Ro manzo Jennlson of this town and a visitor here a few weeks ago, while driving In Woonsocket, R. I., narrowly escaped se'rtous injury. He was driving down Logee street and came on Park avenue directly In front of the repair car of the street railroad. The man In charge of the car was unable to stop In time and It struck the wagon. Mr. Jennlson jumped and 'so saved himself, but the wagon was somewhat damaged. Last Saturday the air seemed charged with electricity and as early as 9.30 a. m. thunder was heard and a shower seemed near, but at 3 p. m. a series of electric showers began. The thunder and lightning were almost continual for about seven hours, the most severe being about 6 p. m., when several sharp reports were heard. One bolt struck the new house owned by Newell Jennlson and but recently completed. The roofing slate were torn oft near the chimney and a hole the size of a man's hand cut through the roof, but no other damage was discovered. It. N. Marsh has fitted up a neat Ice cream dining room In the small building just south of his residence and last Fri day night It was opened to the public. The Ice cream want has been supplied In pre-ious summers by the different ladles societies of the town, serving it on the common at Irregular Intervals, but many times has the wish been expressed that Ice cream might be had on any day, and this season Mr. Marsh has come forward to meet the demand and will serve It on all days except Sunday and Monday. We predict he will have generous patron age. One of the musicians connected with the Lucler Minstrel company had an unfor tunate accident Monday night after the show was over. He had started for the hotel and, being unfamiliar with the land surrounding the place where the perform ance was held. In the darkness walked off a bank six feet high. His groans were heard by Fayette Cook and he and New ell Jennlson went to his assistance. He was found to be badly bruised and shaken by the fall, and required the attendance of Dr. Rice. He was able to leave town with the company Tuesday morning, but It will be some time before he recovers from the shock. As long as Townshend has a seminary like Leland and Gray, so long Townshend people will feel an Interest In the suc cesses of the men and women who have gone forth from this school, and more par ticularly when the work entered Into Is parallel with our own.

Mrs. Ream's) Daughter Began to Gain Flesh at Ones and la Now Well and Happy. Children nro doubtless punished many times at school for not .keeping still or for dropping things when tho trouble is really chorea, or St.Vitus' dance, as It is popularly called. 8o common is this nervous disease in childhood that in some schools one-fifth of all the pupils have been found suffering from it in one form or another. Before the presence of the discaso is betrayed thero is usually s, disturbance of tho general health. The child shows listlessuess and inattention. Then it becomes restless and twitching of the muscles and jerking of the limbs and body follow. Often tho patient loses flesh and be comes pale and bloodless. A remedy that cures St.Vitus douce, and cures it so thoroughly that no trace of tho dis ease remains, is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A recent cure is that of Georgia, the ton year -old daughter of Mrs. D. M. Beam, of Concmaugh, Pa. Mrs. Beam soys : "Whon Georgia started to school last year she had stomach trouble and after ward her mouth began to twitch. She would shake all over and could not be still. After a fow months her mind be came affected. She was under the care of two doctors for almost four months. When she had been sick for about seven months wo heard of a case like Georgia's that had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It was in the latter part of February that she commenced to take the pills and they made the greatest change in her. They not only cured every trace of the St. Vitus' dance but helped her in every way. She never was very stout until after she took the pills, but now she has gained in weight. She goes to school every day ana is well and happy. Dr. Williams1 Pink Pills arc worth their weight in gold." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood to carry health and strength to every port of the body. They havo cured severe coses of bloodltssness, in digestion, influouza, headaches, lum bago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal weakness and the special ailments of girls and women whose blood supply becomes weak, scanty or irregular.
