Base Ball. The club, that was organized, some two or three months since, is in a flourishing condition and the members are fast becoming proficient in this manly exercise. We believe their regular evenings for practice is Tuesday of each week. In their practice, last week, we noticed our Sheriff had the right swing to his club and could get over the ground, after a hit, as lively as the liveliest.
