A gentleman from Charlestown, OF high
standing and undoubted veracity, gave
us, this week, some good news about
our Railroad, which will not only re
ioice the hearts of our readers, but also,
We hope, ''reuew right spirit in the
minds OF our business community.
The news is This, that an arrange
ment has been made to have the first
mortgage bonds of the Shenandoah Val
ley Railroad Company guaranteed by
the three principal railroad companies
of Pennsylvania, viz.;-the Cumberland
Valley, the Pennsylvania, and the Read
ing Companies.
This united guarantee, Of course, en-
ables the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
Company, to place its bonds, at once
abroad, on the most favorable terms,
and to realize, without difficulty Or de-
lay, all the funds it will require to pay
of existing obligations, and to complete
the road to Stanton The amount of
bonds offered in Europe under the above
arrangement, is understood to pc about
three millions seven hundred thousand
dollars.
H&g" FIRES ALONG TIE RAILROAD
A great many farmers Of our county
whose lands border on the line Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, have sui
fered quite severely Of late by fires,
originated by sparks and cinders thrown
from engines, used upon said road The
damages so far have only been in the
destruction of grain, grass and fencing.
But in some instances dwellings, were
only saved by the intervening Of land
upon which there was no combustible
material. Among those Of our citizens
who have suffered. are the following -
Mrs. Neil, Capt Jacob Melvin, VIM.
Burr, VIM. NJ. Snyder, J. G. Ruckles,
and t. Z. Burkhart, whose land extend
from Dufields to Kearneysyille. We
have learned that had it not been that a
piece Of ground, used as vegetable
garden, interviewed between Mr.. Bark
b,,,', l. or,a owl tbo ,,,o,,1o,,. IJot bic
premises would have been en4irely de-
stroyed The following persons of
Berkeley County living along the line
of the road between Kearneysville and
Martinsburg haye also suffered from the
same cause Jacob, Miller, Hugh Nc
Kee, James Rush, Samuel Miller, Van
Cleave and Conchman. It seems that
these fires are occasioned by an engine
attached to an Express train going
West, which passes through the County
between ten and eleven o'clock, A. NJ.
It's smoke stack is uncovered, from
which are thrown the fire brands, that
ignite all combustible material upon
which they fall. This travelling ineen
diary should be stopped by the railroad
authorities, and if not by them, by the
citizens Of the counties 1t is wrong
for the Company to have such an engine
IN their employ, and we think that on
this account it should be held armenia
BILE for all damage done.

St. Alphonsus' parochial Schools.

The examination of the girls school COM
nenced on Monday. the goth, and was con-
tiDled until the evening of Tuesday, 2tst inst.
This school is under the care of the Sisters
sof Mercy, and the success attending their
efforts was amply proven on this occasion.
The clearness and precision with which the
answers to the questions propounded in Eng
Esh grammar, history, arithmetic and Chris
tian doctrine were rendered must have given
great satisfaction to the parents and friends of
the pupils. In defamation, music and know
ledge of the elements of rhetoric, the young
misses particularly distinguished themselves,
as also in their appreciation of the humorous,
many dialogues OF comic character having
been splendidly rendered. The exhibition and
distribution of diplomas to the graduates win
take place on Mondsy. the 9th inst, at which

a gold and silver medal will be awarded to the
two Young ladies who have most distinguished
themselves. A fine brass band will be in at
tendance.
The boys of ST. Alphonsus School commenced
their examination on Wednesday and finished
Thursday evening. As in all the schools under
the direction of the Redemptorist Fathers, this
examination was searching and minnie. The
boys Of the high class are particularly deserv-
ing of praise for the proficiency they have
attained in their various studies. Most notice.
able was their ready solution of difficult prob
lens in arithmetic and algebra. The examine
tion was interspersed with singing, dialogues,
declarations, and some very funny pieoess in
all of which the boys acquitted themselves with
honor, and gave great amusement and salts
faction to their friends.
The award Of diplomas and medals will take
place next Thursday, at Z o'clock, on the occa.
sion of the annual exhibition of which we here

THE BOYS SCHOOL.

THE BOYS SCHOOL.
The examination of st. Mary's boys school
commenced on Monday 18th, and was closed
by the annual exhibition Thursday, 10th
inst This fourishing institution is under the
charge of the Marist Brothers, and the degree
of proficiency shown by the pupils in their
various studies, is the best compliment that
can be paid to these pious religious as to the
efficiency of their system. The examinations
and exhibition were conducted in English aud
German, and the readiness and accuracy with
which the various questions and difficult prob
lens were answered and solved, must have
been highly gratifying to the parents and
friends of the pupils. That st. Mary's possesses
in embryo some great men, there can be no
doubt, as the eloqueuce, logic and undoubted
dramatic talent shown AT the exhibition fully
testify.
THE GIRLS SCHOOL.
st. Mary's school for girls, one of the finest
ediGces in the city and situated on Constance
between Josephine and Jackson streets, is IN.
der the control of the Sisters of Notre Dame,
aud is attended by over four hundred children
divided into seven classes, each of which il in
charge of one OF these zeaious religious.
The examination of these classes commenced
on Monday and closed gu Thursday 23i inst.
Most searching and thorough has it been, snd
the good Sisters have great reason TO conSrat-
ulate themselves the result. When it is
considered that the course of instruction in
these schools is in two languages English and
Germany and that the same studies are Pur-
sued in each, some idea may be formed of the
labor imposed on the devoted Sisters; but
apart from the ordinary duties of the school
room, time is also found to instruct the pupils
in music, drawing, embroidery, crochet and
fancy needle work. The walls of the largo
hall where the examinations and exhibition
took place were covered with specimens of the
handiwOrk Of the pupils. Some beautifully
executed work In worsted representing sacFed

Examination and Exhibition at St. NichaePs
School

Among the several examinations recently
had by our Catholic schools, none have eX-
ceeded in completeness that of st. MichaePs.
For the greater part of the past two weeks the
Rev. Father Hesiin has been engaged in the
examination of the various classes, and much
credit has been reflected upon the efficient
teachers, Miss Warner, principal, and Misses
Ennis and Spence, assistants, in the manner
the children have responded to the questions.
The degree of proficiency shown by the pupils
is surprising, considering the largo number
attending and the limited number of teachers.
The advantages of seperate class rooms CHS
school does not afford, one large hall having
served for the accommodation of one hundred
and eighty-tbree children. 1t is the intention
of the Rev. Pastor, however, to proceed immc-
diately with the erection of the new school
house.
The Exhibitions commenced on Wednesday
the 22ud, on the part of the girls, and must
have been both instructive and entertaining
to the numerous friends of the school, Many
and various were the recitations and dia-
logues, and SO we'll were they all rendered
that it is difficult to discriminate, but we can
not omit to mention the names of few who
have been particularly distinguished and to
awarded. They are Misses Mary Garvey, Belle
Burden, Lizzie Spence and Anastasia Casey.
The evening was enlivened by some choice
vocal and Instrumental music. Mr.. II. A.
Blake, under whose instruction the proficiency
| of the pupils in music has been attained, pre-
sided at the piano.
The exhibition was continued on Thursday
| evening, the boys of the school, on this occa-
| IL
| delivered the opening address, after which
came numerous comic and sentimental pieces,
| interspersed with songs and music. From the
| lengthy aud varied programme we select

in colored Dialogue of The Bet" were
