The Omnivorous "Terrebonne
Times" and Posy.
In an article entitled "Base Ball, and
the misrepresentations of Mr. Posy,'' the
Terrel*onne Times, of May "th, expatiates
for almost a column's length in tryiug to
prove the ' description of the Wright
Fraisse game of base ball as given by Posy
in the Sextinkl of April 30. as false, but
completely fails in every respect, as all
fair, impartial and unprejudiced persons,
who witnessed the game, will affirm, aud
the case of falsehood is just vice versa.
The Times starts out by saying that the
Fraisse club did not challenge tho Wrights
bnt that the Wrights challenged the
Fraisse. Well, that is perfeetjy true.
Posy stated the reverse iu his article be
cause he had been so informed. But what
had that to do with the game 1 when the
challenge was spoken of it was as a mere
passing remark and did not have anything
to do with the game further than that.
When Posy described the game it was
not with a view of having an argument
with the Times on it. tor it is too trivial a
subject to bother with, and the Times ap
pears to be one of the same nature as
"Convince a man against his
u still''—
will look
al of the
facts of the game, a 1 given by Posy., will
clearly \ indicate his cause,
Posy said thatthe Wrights went to the
hat first, that the game went along very
smoothly till the 7tli inning of the
Wrights, that at that period it commenced
! irizz1 !,"?' that the Wrights made ten
, ron9 during their ah inning, that at
the 7th inuing of the 1 raisse the raiu be
g an to fall more copiously, but that the
Wrights continued to play to give the
Fraisse club a fair show ; that the Fraisse
made bnt eight "runs'' iu their 7th
inning, that each club having played
an equal number of innings and the
rain making it impossible to proceed
further, the umpire called "Game'' ,• that
sucli wus concurrent with the rule i« sneh
cases, that the winning club was to get
two-thirds of the gate receipts, that the
gate receipts amounted to forty dollars
f'i tliirty-cenuuhat the Wrights gor on
lv Sfteen dollars, that <tiie rights did not
have a high opinion of tlie members of the
f', lais 1 se ,. tlR * ' blackberry
blondes were alHqiHt«us suid piesuoiptit
ouslj intruded whore they had no right.
L T } ie a Wimary of the
-act* which Posy gave on the doth alt., ami
'is incontrovertible.
The Times calumniates one of our ccti
/ens b Y ironically speaking of him as the
"honest man". We will not say what we
think of this despicable treatment, baft we
cautssure the {Times that the "kjnest
man'' will i '•'member it iu kit prayers.
In the same tirade that the Times so un
justifiably censures Posy, it also cast slurs
u(Min the umpire- To that we will say
that the said umpire seat the Times, in
last week's Skkctnki., a rebuke the, it jnst
ly deserved, and the wording of which re
quires no glossary to understand. It's a
bitter pill. Pulls are usually shallowed
by the aid of water, hut should this one
prove too large, the Times can grease its
throat with the Martinez Lubricator aud
the pill will glide right down.
The above explicit mention of the said
game aMiomtfetatioii of the Times will,
without dotlkt, clearly, fully and bonrably
extricate and sMumtt from the
false position that the Times would mali
ciously place him in, therefore he will
have tfikuMi further to say about the
Times or the Wright-Fraisac game- The
game has become odious and created un
necessary hard feelings- Thus Times may
bellow awa.v all it wishes, b«t Posy will
con tern ptiioasly ignore its uproar. Adieu.

J. X. WRIGHT.
Tbe Houma Courier^ iu a sensible
article on the unfortunate difficulty
that has arisen out of the game of
Base Ball, lately played at Houma,
between the J. N. Wright club of
i Thibodaux and the L. A. Fraisse
I club of Houma, concludes by sug
! gesling "that a committee of geutle
| men from both clubs meet and arbi
trarily settle the matter as early as
| may be practicable and make known
to the public the facts iu the case.''
We coincide with our Houiua
contemporary aud think that is the
proper and most reasonable way to
; dispose of the disagreeable dispute.
The whole trouble is the result
i of a misunderstabding or a miscou
; ceptiou of some kind, that would be
! quieted iu five minutes' sensible
; discussion between men who are
disposed to be just.
I We kuow that tlie members of
the club from this town went to
1 Houma to play a fair game and
to have a good time, aud icith no
other intention, aud we are not dis
posed to believe that the Hoarna
players had any desire to act other
| wise than fairly and justly on that
occasion.
A Sensible 1'ashioR,
All great thinkers and close reasoners
are discarding everything else aud using
Rc'-d s Chill Cure only, b-cause it contains
lie poison, is soothing to the stomach des
troys the malaria and never fails to cine
i when properly used. A box of pills free
[ with each bottle.
On last Suuday a very sad aftair
j occurred iu New Orloaus.
A baptiziug by immersion was to
| take place neat' the Barracks,
j A large number ot people collec
| ted on the wharf to witness the cere
! mouy, whilst tnauy skill's loaded
I with people were floatiug ou the
! water roundabout.
The im meuse weight of the spec
| tators ou the wharf, cansed it to
i give way, precipitating about 100
persons into the liver, of whom 10
or 15 were drowned.
The sight was terrible and heart
rending to those who saw the uofor
t«u*te catastrophe.
Now is the time, with the tber
moineter at ninety degrees, to buy
an ice cream freezer aud a water
cooler at It. R. McBride's bouse
furnshiug store.
Ayer's Hair Vigor restores natu
cal color to the hair, by stimulating
a healthy actiou of the scalp. This
preparation also produces a vigo
rous growth of the hair, and gives
it 'beautiful lustre and youthful ap
pea ranee. Recoin mended by phy
sicians, clergymen, and scientists.
A pretty sioty has been going
the rounds of the Press in which
■oue Ridgley had killed seven of the
Murphy family somewhere in the
Indian territory. It now turns up
to be a lovely hoax, gottcu np by a
tad looking drummer, who was aim
vug to tell a bigger lie than Biii
MulholiHtul or Tom Ochiltree.
The attempt was not exactly a
failure. Sandy haired Tom ot Tex
as would not feel ashan>ed to be
the author of as fantastic a lift as
tfec* one above mentioned.
