For the Register.
LOCAL OPTION AND LOCAL REF
ORMATlON.

The meeting on Wednesday night
exhibited the same interest and deter
mination which has marked this work
from its beginning. e.. its more re-
cent revivals, for since its formal begin
ming in 1926 it seems to have been
subject to the law of periodicity, so OBJ
seryable in nearly all things human
vet at every stage marked by greater
and still greater success.
Among the topics more or less fully
discussed were first the gratitude due
to the author of all good for the success
with which labor in this cause has al
ready been rewarded. Sobriety to a
great extent has revisited our town
comparatively few from the village it
self, (perhaps none in the daytime)
visit the low groggery fraudulently
opened upon the river, the disgracetui
business of which is said to be falling
off.
Among other blessings to be thankful
for is this also-laSt but not least-that
our neighbors at home whore charity
begins. are saved from the "woe" pro-
nounced in scripture upon him who
putteth the bottle to his neighbor 10
make him drunk "A woe which also
some protesting Christians do not appear
to be afraid Of.
But though sin in this direction dies
hard, love impartial and all embracing
must sooner or later win all and save all.
An introduction only must now sut-
flee for this week, fuller account being
reserved for next.

nW QuERY.-When the potato bug,
travelling eastward at the rate OF sixty
miles per year, reaches the Atlantic
coast, which will be about the year
1878, what will he then do ! Will he
swim the ocean, land upon the shores
of the old countries and pursue his jour
ney around the earth ? Well, there is
some consolation in knowing that if he
does that it will be about All years be-
fore he gets back to this locality. So,
let him swim. So says the Hagerstown
Twice-.A-Week.

CONFEDERATE DEAD.-HeDry Num-

Hagerstown and inferred in the Gene

mains of forty-two out of a well, near
Weise's, on South Mountain, where
they had been thrown after the battle.
We were told, that in some few cases,
valuable articles have been found on
the dead. In one case gold watch,
and again sum Of money in gold, aud
pictures of friends Of the deceased

The RIGHT OF BEAU.-However
agreeable beau may be, he should not
be allowed to engross lady for any
considerable time. Some gentlemen
make practice of selecting a young
lady whom they like, and keeping 10
themselves for the greater part OF the
evening, unless the lady takes measures
to prevent it. Ii she appears pleased
with the tete-a-tete, other gentlemen
will avoid interrupting it; and thus
foundation is laid for one of those idle
reports, which every one should take
pains to avoid. in such a case you
need not hesitate to break off the con-
versation, and to change your position
so as to esconce yourself among ladies,
and get rid of such marked attentions.
No man of delicacy would choose to
exhibit real preference of the heart;
this sort of monopoly is one of the
amusements of the selfish, and if you
suffer it they will think you highly
honored by their notice

Destructive HAIL STORM IN SHEN-
ANDoAH COUNTY, VA.-On w ednesday,
10th instant, about IL o'clock, tie most
destructive hail storm passed over many
farms in the vicinity Of S,rasburg, that
has ever been witnessed this season of
the year by any person now living in
this neighborhood The clouds seemed
TO gather in the west, at no very great
distance of, and when the rain first
commenced falling it seemed TO come
in torrents, with heavy wind, breaking
down many trees and strewing fencing,

from the west, after which it slac&ened
a few moments. Then the storm came
from the south, and continued for ut
least ten minutes. Hail fell as large as
hens eggs, and then ceased, and then
came from the southeast ten minutes,
cutting everything to the ground. The
wheat fields cannot possibly make pas
ture for any kind Of stock. The fruit
trees and forest trees are literally strip
ped of their foliage, apples, peaches,
plums and cherries all lying upon the
ground Corn fields are looking just
as barren as any old fallow fields. Gar
deus are entirely ruined for this season.
Clover fields are cut shorter than any
mower could possibly have cut them.
Many houses have been stripped of ev-
cry pane of window glass in them. The
great deluge of water that came in any
timbered locality gathered leaves and
limbs and bail in bodies and swept fenc-
ing and everything in its course. This
farm struck, as far as / have seen and
know TO be correct, the farms of WIN.

A widow of seventy years died in
Portsmouth the other day, the truth Of
whose life is stranger than many tic-
ton. At the age of eighteen she mar
ried the choice of her heart, young
sea captain, and after a brief and happy
honeymoon, he left her for a foreign
voyage But his ship was never heard
from, and doubtless foundered at sea,
with all on board. The young husband,
as he was dressing for sea the morning
he left home, playfully threw a pair OF
stockings backwards over his head, to
test some sailors charm or other, and
they CHANGING to land on the top OF a
canopy bedstead remarked : Sarah,
let them stay there till come back.
And many and many year they have
laid there, but alas he never returned
But neither love, nor hope, nor expecta
. tons ever died out in her faithful heart
during all the many years Of her lonely
pilgrimage. To the last, whenever Il
door opened or step was heard ap-
preaching, she turned TO see if it might
not be he whom she mourned and
sought. But.he never came again to
her-let us hope she has gone TO him.
BY her desire she was buried in her
wedding dress, with white gloves and
wedding ring.

sa COMMENCEMENT AT SrAuNroN

tiOu WCiC uciU ldSt WEN. W. ASA :"
from the Stanton Tnicaior that the
final exercises were conducted with that
simplicity which has always character
lied them, and which the President
seems always to have specially in view.
From the snowy unadorned dresses OF
the lovely girls, to the touching airs
sung by them, the absence of display
was conspicuous. On Sunday night
the commencement sermon was preached
by Professor S. A. Repass, OF Roanoke
College, at the Lutheran Church, and
on Tuesday night, Notwithstanding the
intense heat of the weather, it was
densely crowded to witness the COM
mencement exercises. The exercises
were commenced with the chorus ''See
the Conquering Hero Comes, well
sung by the vocal class. The song,
ooh How l Love my Mountain Home, '
was beautifully sung by Miss Kindig,
of Va, and the duett, "The Joyous
Reaper" by Misses Chaplin, of Newbcr-
ny, S. c., and Richard, of Shepherds
town, w. Va, being both worthy Of
the highest praise. The Annual Ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. DR.. f, w.
Conrad, the distinguished Lutheran
clergyman of Philadelphia, and was Il
model of addresses OH education. He
depicted the completeness of education
and the symmetry required for its per
lection, showing that while lingual, phi
losophical, and mathematical depart
ments were all necessary, yet if the eth
ical feature was omitted, the whole
building was of small account. The mo-
raj education was, of them all, the high
est department. 1t is something that
the State cannot give, nor its equiva-
lent, and the teacher has fulfilled his
highest duty when he has formed the
moral sentiment Of the pupil. The par
ting address by the Principal, Rev. J.
l. Miller, was appropriate and touching,
and his allusion to one of the class miss
ing by the hand of Death, was full of
tender beauty and pathos.
