"Reporter" is out with another "fish story" in the Montello Express; but he doesn't 
tell us whether he wants to be believed this time or not.  By the way we ought to have 
stated last week that he claims that the other yarn he spun about the "fish" case was 
intended only as a joke-to be taken, we suppose, in a pickwickian sense.  We accept it

Mr. Editor:  On the afternoon of Saturday last we took a drive from Barnum to Spring Creek 
to witness a game of ball.  At half past 2 P. M. the players were all present, and after 
choosing Mr. Eben MORSE as umpire, the playing commenced.  Each side seemed eager to excel 
the other, and we were surprised to find so many first-class players in a club so recently 
organized.  Eight innings were played when the score stood 27 to 41-one side having failed 
to make an additional tally.
