A water side chap, with a very wide conscience tried to glide off with Gottlieb RHEAM's skiff the other day and had a smooth path as far as Chester, where he was caught by a pursuing party that brought him back and lodged him in jail.

It created somewhat of a stampede, but was promptly quenched and did very little damage. The Soft Snap Base Ball club will play a match game with the Bloomsdale Nine at Bloomsdale to-day. To-morrow they will go to St. Mary and cross bats with the club of that place. Gen. F.A. ROZIER has for some time been sorting old Probate papers that had long been lying in odd places forgotten and neglected, in order to preserve what was valuable or interesting and to clear away the waste. Among the papers were found two documents which date from the 17th of August 1850 and the 17th of August 1852 and are commissions granted by Austin A. KING, governor of Missouri at that time, to Mr. Eloy LeCOMPTE, formerly owner of the Cone Mills, who had been elected Probate judge of Ste. Genevieve in two successive elections held in the years mentioned. The papers are a memorial of the high respect in which the people of the county held Mr. LeCOMPTE 33 years ago. Mr. Jos. PALMER of New Bremen tells us that he reaped but 38 bushels of wheat off 15 acres which is certainly worse than the Back Bone harvest, whereas his neighbor, Mr. Wm. HURST reaped 910 bushels from 55 acres. The latter gentleman had also 340 bushels of oats. A fair harvest.
