duct Of the Students.
WEST LIBERTY, W. VAp



Editors OF the Register.
The Commencement exercises OF the
State Normal School at this place clos
ed yesterday. Our village seems al
most deserted to-day es but few OF the
students yet remain. Much of the life
and interest OF our town seems 10 have
departed with them.
During the last term there were nine
ty students in attendance and Z more
quiet and peaceable hand of students
have never been in our midst before
They, without single known exception
have been friendly and courteous to the
people OF West Liberty, and have not
engaged In those go called school boy
scrapes," which are so common in many
of our institutions OF learning, and go
disgusting and annoying to the citizens
OF any town or community. No cases
Of disorder, such as midnight reVels,
mock serenade., drunkenness, quar-
relling or anything Of like character.
Nothing has been done by them to mar
the peacefulness OF our town or TO cre-
ate disorder in the workings OF the
school. They seem to be young ladies
and gentlemen who are striving
hard for an education and
seem to be endeavoring to strengthen
their social and moral as we'll as their
intellectual faculties. The teachers de-
serve great credit for go conducting the
school that the students are Kept cou-
stantly interested in their work.
We might say something in behalf
OF our town. which Is also worthy oi
praise. lie that we have no drinking
saloons, billiard tables or gambling
rooms, which go often SOW the seeds OF
vice and immortality in the minds OF
thoughtless youths. There never has
existed any feeling OF hostility between
the citizens and the students. There
has never been any cause for it, and we
shall ever manifest q friendly interest
in the welfare OF such students by recei-
wing them into our families as boarders
and welcoming them to our best socisl
circles.
With competent teachers and such
students, together with the aid Of
the State and local iDhuence, this
school will remain as it is now-frat
among the normal schools OF our State.

Strange story OF a Gang OF SuilaWs
on Blue Ridge.

1t seems almost incredible that gang
Of eight outlaws should establieh rem
devious within fifty miles Of this city,
lay the surrounding country under con-
tributiou for supplies, and commit the
most fendsh atrocities with impunity'
nevertheless the Warrenton (Va., In
der says such is the fact, and that these
outlaws have retreat, which they call
their lava bed" on spur OF the Blue
Ridge, some four or five miles from
Culpepper; and from there they
make forays into the valley be-
low, and carry off whatever they need
for their commisary department. Some
times the leader OF the gang merely ad-
dressed a note 10 farmer, making a

with sends the article demanded. Two
or three days ago it occurred 10 them
that the society OF woman In Their
camp would vary the monotony OF their
camp lie, so they came down to the
town of Culpepper, captured o Young
colored girl, and was making OF with
her when her father came to the res
cue. They cut the old mans throat
from ear to ear, aud then made their
escape. The account of the affair
which appears in the Warrenton Indez
does not inform US whether they car
ried the girl with them or not. The
father died from his wounds on Friday
last. The mayor OF Culpepper organized
q party of ten men, and placing Capt.
FuI;z, one OF Mosby's scouts, in COM
mand, sent them against the "Modocs.
Before they reached the camp they

CLEANING UP.

The recent cholera scare" has had q
very good effect in inducing greater
cleanliness in many OF the most public
and commonly used streets and alleys
of the city, but it has failed to induce
proper sanitary precautions in some
quarters that chow as yet no improve
ment. In east Wheeling and in centre
Wheeling there are alleys that appear
to have been unvisited by the Health
Officer or, as is most probable, in re-
gard to which the orders o! the Health
Officer have been willully disobeyed.
All sorts OF animal and vegetable matter
is left in these unobserved places to
swelter aud ferment under the bot July
sun, and to send forth the vapors that
feed the cholera and scatter death
abroad. 1t is not sufficient that the
careful aud cleanly c,t;zen see that his
own premises are free from pestilential
odors; he must look also to those OF his
neighbors upon either hand. The pes-
tileuce does rot regard boundary lines
nor stop at the limits marked upon
maps made by surveyors and recited In
deeds. II it were so, only the guilty
would BE- punished, but, as ii is, a
whole neighborhood may be exposed to
disease for the fault of single family.
Attention is called in our local COLI
umns this morning to the customary
default in cleaning the Fifth Ward mar
ket space. 1t is often the case that the
deJris OF the Saturday night market is
left to contaminste the Sunday morn
ing air, aud the nostrils OF worshippers
attending the churches in that quarter
OF the city are assailed by the foul odors
beuueathed from the market of Sstur-
day night.
This is not as it should be, and We
look to the. sanitary inspectors in that
quarter OF the city TO inaugurate de-
cided improvement in this regard. We
look to the same officers to compel the
cleaning up OF the alleys in their re-
sprective districts, and the abolishment
OF all the uuisances that now "sme!l to
heaven from the various streets and
alleys of Wheeling. Whatever assis-
tance we can give in this regard will be
most cheeriully bestowed.

features Of all the servants and atten-
dants that would be permitted to enter
that part Of the palace during the roy
al sojourn. There was fear that some
Polish refugee might smuggle himself

which the immediate attendants were
all brought with them from Russia.
This was the reason it was 90 difficult
to get a glimpse of the Emperor, and
that be only visited the Russian depart
meuts at the Exposition, excluding al
visitors while he was passing through.
When he visited the opera no one was
allowed TO have tickets until their char.
acter Nss known, and whenever he
drove through the city Thousands Of
policemen and detectives hovered
around him. The nearest we got TO
him was at review, when We saw him .

Who would care to be an Emperor and
be compelled to be thus guarded from
assassination Perhaps the fear OF
French vengeance is the cause Of the
alleged illness Of the Kaiser Of Prussia.

Fearful Scene at . Circus.

PITTSBURGH. July 3.-A terrific scene
was presented at Howe's circus, show
ing on the bank Of the Allegheny river.
Mile. Daniel had just finished her act
of bare. back riding and the clown tum-
blers had entered the ring. One, after
turning a number of times around the
ring, affected to be dead, the other
feeling for his pulse; at that moment q
low, rushing sound was heard, as
though one OF the paddles OF Q storm
Mas approaching, and suddenly the
huge canvas began to swell and fall
like a mountainous wave. The rain
poured down in torrents and the al
frighted spectators in the crowded show
struggled over seats toward the place
of exit. The lights were extiDgulshed,
the canvas was torn loose at fhe eldes,
and sections of the tent and the small
upright poles that sustained the
centre attached, were flying and
Tapping around, striking people down
as if they were shot. Women and
children were crying with fright at
the dreadful idea that the animals
might break from their cages and that
the elephants would trample people to
death. How the immense crowd got
out ia the darkness and excitement it ;s
impossible 10 tell, or how many were
injured, as it seems certain some
must have been. Gaining the outside
it was found that the main tent was
completely prostrated, and the side
shows had disappeared entirely. The
immense audience went home mostly
on foot, through rain that came down
in perfect sheet OF water.
