the re turn base ball match with acton stars as they had arranged the stars were con siderably disappointed and do not relish this kind of treatment especially as they had ordered supper and made every ar rangement for the game the milton club exhibited a very pusillanimous spirit when ou being wired as to whether they were coming or not replied no with a col lect telegram the stars dont care for the cost of the telegram but they expected more courtesy from the milton club berry picking on monday morning last three of our young meu made it a point to get up bright and early and go in search of raspberries they were seen about 30 oclock making rapid strides down the second line about two miles out of town- they made good time and at last reached the berry patch they found the
