pSPoSDNi A~'
To Messrs VIM. Rightstine and others,
citizens of Shepherdstown, and to the
Mayor and Common Council of the
same,
Gentlemen-Your letter of Septem-
Der 4th has been received, asking per-
mission to use the buildings and grounds
lately occupied as the Jefferson County
Court House, for school for boys and
girls.
This proposition meets with my en-
tire approval, and it will be very agree
able to grant the use Of the premises for
the purposes mentioned, upon certain
conditions which can be appropriately
embodied in lease.
Hope the shepherd School will be
very successful and beneficial to the
community, and am your obedient ser
want. SHEPHERD BROOKS.

s0- Our HIGH SCHooL-Mr. Shep-
herd Brooks, the sole owner of the pro-
perty, has very kindly offered to lease
the Court House property, on the same
terms as before to the County for a
Court House, for school purposes and
we hope the people will be interested
and use their efforts to organize and
keepup good School here. Nothing
can be done towards it definitely, until
after the election, as the school law re-
quires that avote of the people interest
ed shall be taken, before establishing
such a School, and it will require some
time to mature plans and complete an
organization. 1t is proposed to have it
organized under the Free school law Of
the State, and receive its income in part
from that source and partly from other
sources. We hope the Boards of Edu-
cation of Shepherd and Chapline Town
ships will appoint such men for Direct
ors that are competent and in whom the
people have full confidence. The taxes
already levied by the State and Town
ship Boards of Education, amounting
in the aggregate in these two Town
ships, to twenty-six cents on the hun
dred dollars worth of property, are
thought sufficient and no additional tax
will be levied. 1t is the determination
ofthose interested to run the School, at
least, nine mouths in the year. We are
glad to learn that Mr.. Joseph McMur-
ran has, by request, taken hold of the
matter, and has already taken steps to
ascertain the exact cost of organizing
the School, furnishing the rooms, and
paying the teachers such salaries as Will
command talent and experience. Be
sides his own knowledge and experience
on the subject be is corresponding with
experienced teachers and principals of
High Schools at different places, includ-
ing the State Superintendent. We have
now an opportunity of building up
good School in our town and we hope
the people will feel it.
The following is the letter received
from Mr.. Shepherd Brooks, through his
Attorney, VIM. A. Chapline, Esq, who
also stated in an explanatory note &C
companying the letter of Mr.. B., that
the title to the Court House is entirely
in Mr.. Shepherd Brooks

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Biliousness and Indigestion. -These two
complaints are mere general at this season Of
the year than at almost any other. They are
closely akin; for biliousness always involves
an impaired digestion, and indigestion is
necessarily an accompaniment Of disordered
or torpid liver. Happy the man or woman
who can boast Of a stomach that has never
felt the horrors Of dyspepsia. and to whom
that great seeretiye agent. the liver. has never
given pain or trouble. Not one in . thousand
can lay claim to entire immunity from irregu-
larity in these organs. How. then. shall they
be regulated? Not by powerful cathartics.
alternated with ordinary stimulants. but by a
medicinal invigorant. like Hostetter's stOm-
ach Bitters. which combine in due proportion
the tonic and the Alternative principle.
Wherever there is a church, a school-house,
and a general store. this famous medicine
may be procured. No village merchant finds
it prudent to be without it. for it is inquired
for every day by every class. The working
man buys it because it increases his capacity
for toll. and is followed by no reaction. The
effect of the salubrious roots, herbs. ETC.. Of
which it is composed. difused through his
system By the pure stimulant which forms the
basis Of the Bitters. Is most healthful and in
MIGRATING. The scholar. the merchant. and.
in fact, all men whose minds or bodies. OF
both. are in constant exercise. will derive
benefit from It's use. To persons Of sedentAry
habits 1t suppliess in some measure. that ac-
tivity in the circulation VIII ch Is obtained By
physical exertion, and is the best known
remedy for constipation. Ask for Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters. and do not be coaxed into
purchasing any Of the limitations and frauds
sometimes offered in its stead.

Green and Pickens counties. Alabama and
Lcwndes and Monre counties, Mississippi.
These Bonds were issued by these counties,
seyerally, TO aid said company in the con-
struction Of their road. They are known to
be five of the wealthiest counties IN either the
State of Alabama or Mississippi. Having
suffered but little BY the rayages OF the late
large taxable property. and the Bonds now
offered constitute their only bonded debt.
They are all eight per cent. Coupon Bonds,
and pay their interest semi -annually at the
office of the Company. or in New York. The
taxes have been already assessed in all the
counties to meet the interest and provide
sinking fund for their redemption. These
taxes have been regularly collected, and the
interest in every case promptly paid. duar-
dams and courts interested with the moneys
of orphans, can find no securities safer and
more profitable. and capitalists seeking TO
make permanent Investments can do no bet
ter than to purchase them. The Company
will dispose of them at such rates as Will
make them n paying ten per cent invest
ment; aud when the Bond is paid, the pur-
chaser will receive twenty-five per cent. adj
ditional on the original outlay. Stocks in
companies always depend on their manage
ment and good fortune for their Iegdlar divi-
dends The income from the Bonds is GER
tain, regular more reliable. and, in most in
stances, more profitable.

The French War Curl
Gus Details.

A German correspondent gives the
following curious particulars with re-
spect to the payment by France OF the
war indemnity:
The following particulars with respect
to the payment Of the war indemnity
NAV not be without interest to our read
ers. Germany is to pay for the bags al
the rate OF two sous per bag; thus, when
the first installmentlhas been paid she
will have to return some $4,000 francs
The house of Rothschild had undertaken
the payment of the bills of exchange Tor
the French Government; they are to be
made payable in ready money, and with,
out loss, at not more than two months
date. This business will be done az
London between Rothschild and the Ter
man Consul. The latter will also receive
the sums which France pays IN hngilSh
bank-notes. The silver and the other
foreign but not French notes, will be Sent
direct from Paris TO Berlin by rall.
France bears the expense of transports
as far as the frontier. The sum viii at
once be divided between the separate
states. as soon as the amount required
10 cover the North German war loan has
been set aside. 1t will, of course, be i'm
possible to count the money, as this
would occupy the whole time of all the
treasury officials down to the endot next
December. The bags and chests will
therefore be counted, one or two opened
and counted through, and the rest
weighed. AS it is necessary to accept
the sums sent in confidence that their
declared value is correct the wooden
chests win also be retained and paid for
by the Germans. 1t is probable that the
French will pay part of the amount IN
gold and silver bars instead OF coined
money, which would greatly facilitate
the business of receiving the indemnity.
