DRUM CoRps.-It being seemingly impos-
sible to get up a brass band in our community,
some of our young men have determined to
try drum corps, and with this object have
associated themselves together. Some of the
members already possess the necessary in
struments, aud others have taken measures to
procure them; SO that in short while, with
necessary practice, Charlestown may at least
have the benefit of the stirring music of the
drum and fife

COUNTY ITEMs.-From the Shepherdstown
Register of Saturday we clip the following
items:
Harrisburg and Potomac Railroad.
recently conversed with gentleman who res
sides in Harrisburg, Pa, who informed us
that the Harrisburg and Potomac Railroad,
which is to connect with the Shenandoah VAL
ley Railroad at this point. through Washing
ton County, Md, is RAPIDLY progressing UNI
der the supervision of the energetic President,
D. v. ALL, Esq.
Grand Celebration.-It will be seen by
posters printed at this office, that the colored
folks viii! hold grand celebration of the
Emancipation Proclamation of Abraham Lin
coin, at the Big Spring. near town, on Thurs
day. the 25th inst All companies and go
cieties are invited to unite with them. Profs
j. NJ. I,angston and John Day, and Rev N.
U. Bracket, are announced as speakers on the
occasion.
Salaries F;aed.-The Board of Education
of Potomac Township have fixed the salaries
of the different teachers in the district at s35
to $50, having reference to both grade of GER
tificate and averate daily attendance of pupils.
The Board of Education of Shepherd Towns
ship have fixed the salaries of the teachers at
$50 to $50, according to grade of certificate
anu average Caliy attendance.
We are sure the different Boards of Educa-
ton will have the interests of the schools at
heart. but it is penny>wise and pound
foolish policy, to refuse to pay teachers
liberal salary. 1t is only by SO doing that
they can obtain the best teachers and compe>
tent ones.
A Coon Enthusiastically" in his last
letter to the Shepherdstown Register, relates
number of facts gathered from an interview
with John Burns, Esq, one of our most en-
ergetic and successful farmers, from which we
quote the followieg:
"Beginning life with small start. he now
holds with ease 600 acres of choice Jefferson
land. His crop of wheat this season will foot
up about 5000 bushels-a grand reward for
industry and good farming. He had about
800 acres in wheat, the average yield per acre
being about II bushels. On the farm ad.
joining the town the yield was "a bushels to
the acre. This was extraordinary in contrast
with the average product per acre throughout
the county, for question whether this is
beyond ten or twelve bushels y His
corn on this same farm will turn out from 65
to 70 bushels per acre. and that without the
use of a fertilizer. He told me that for this
farm Col. Stewart, of Berkeley, a few wears
ago offered him $40, 000-s2O0 per acre.

RECEPTION.

A very interesting reception came Off on
Thursday evening, January 31st, at West
Nottingham Academy, under the supervi
sion of Geo. K. Bechtel, Esq, Principal of
the Academy, which was in the highest
degree creditable to the Students and Pro-
fessors. The audience room of the build
ing was very tastefully ordered and arrang-
ed for the occasion. The stage being hand
somely decorated with flowers and ever
greens, prepared by the ladies Of the vii
lage, which evinced high degree of arts
tic taste. The exercises Of the evening,
consisted of Music, Select Reading, Dia-
logues and Speeches. The students acting
their parts we'll, and with such ease and
grace as to elicit great applause from the
audience. The most interesting features
of the occasion, were the original speeches
delivered by Messrs. White, Warburton,
Stuart and Kirk, which evinced high
degree of original talent. The house was
packed with large audience, who doubt
less returned to their homes we'll satisfied
with their visit to the ime-honored institu-
ton. This is one of the oldest Academies
in the State, and has played an active part
in the cause of education. Some of the
most prominent men in the country owe
their education to this humble school. May
it prosper in the future. VISITOR.

Pilot Town Items.

Ricer.-The river is extremely low; there
is very little water outside of the deeps, on
the Hartford side. | think this weather
will take the ice ont without damage.
!Sle9Eing.-The sleighing has been very
fine, but this warm spell has destroyed it,
l think for this winter.
Mad Dogs-There is some talk of mad
dogs. There was one killed at Battle
Swamp on Friday last. On Monday another
one was killed Just below Woodlawn camp
meeting ground.
Died.-On Thursday, Jan. Goth, 1878,
near Rock Springs Andrew Low, aged 20
years. The deceased was man of consid-
cradle notoriety. He was cooper and
when young man was highly esteemed by
all his acquaintance. In 1886 there was
discovered on a tract of barren land he
owned, vein of Chrome, the celebrated
"Line Pitt just on the State line, from
which he derived an income varying from
five to ten thousand dollars a year for about
twenty years. He afterwards sold the
property to Tyson, for a considerable sum.
From the discovery Of Chrome on his land
till his revenue ceased, some ten years ago,
he never was really sober-he literally
threw his money away and died without
dollar and almost friendless, leaving moth
ing but lesson to those who knew him, of
the baleful effects of strong drink.
