THE DLsERET PITCHES. j Mr. Editor I am glad yon have given us cholicy folks a sbow to appear ap-pear in print, and having a go.i .cause to present, take advantage oi your corner for "Complaints." I have been to several bae ball matches, and, every time mark the words "every lime," have been wor ried, made n irvous and annoyed at the disposition of the Deaeret pitcher to quarrel with the umpire and the public when everything did not suit his personal wbima and ideas. Tbe game, professedly governed "y scientific scien-tific rules, ought not to allow ol so much carping, snarling and snowing ol teeth as this hind or f.ire Wbeelcr of the Ddseret club manifests when his club is not getting the best ot tbe game. Ths members ol qibowocIuo are annoyed by it, the umpire is annoyed by it, and ihe great public, wno pay their two bits and lour-bin, are anuoyed by it. and he ought io he told oy bomabjdy to st'tp ii.

But most ol all, tie loves mulberries, aud abt ut ihia reason oi the year he may he ppen breaking dowu mulberry treea with a destructive nonchuluncc which causes one to to tremble tor his luture. Of course, it is all right for him to brenk mulberry aud locust trees when his eminence is eo diepesed, but it should uot be forotttQ that ibu boy is de veloping a bad feature, and that out of kindness to him, he shi uM be chastised whenever caugtit iu tne act of destroying trees, ur carried to Justice Pypt-r, who will kindly con sent to interview ilia paren s tecuri the boys, and give u stimulus to the advice by rtquesiiug a tr'tltng com pnealion therefor.
