the late Mrs. a. NJ. Fitzhugh, who died
at "Ravensworth, Fairfax county, Va,
a few DAYS ago, which was opened to
see if she had left any orders concern
ing the disposal of her remains, bestows
the bulk Of her property upon the chill
dren of the late Gen. Il. L. Lee, rela-
tves of her husband, by whom it was
bequeathed to her. She was worth two
hundred thousand dollars in bonds,
stocks and money, in addition to her
large landed estates. The Ravensworth
estate goes to Gen. r. h. Lees chill
dren. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee gets por-
ton of the Richland and $4,000. The
rest of the Richland and Arkindale es-
tates is divided equally among Gen.
Fi,z Lees four brothers, Henry. Smith,
John and Daniel. Mr.. r. G. Lee re-
ceiving the late residence of Mrs. Fitz
hugh, in Alexandria, $1,000, and an
annuity of 1900, not, however, to come

BE- CRIrICIsING NEwsPAPERS.-1t is
a very easy matter to criticise newspa-
per, but to publish one, so as to inter
est, amuse and instruct the public is
no small undertaking. Those who are
so prone as to find fault with every little
item which does not suit their critical
and exalted ideas, should buy type, ink,
and paper, and publish an organ of
their own. Let them try it for three
months only, and if it don't give them
some new ideas of the newspaper bust
ness, then we are no judge of human
nature. The conceit would be taken
out of such individuals so quickly that
they would hardly know what was the
matter with them, or whether they
stood on their head or feet. We would,
however, suggest trial.

TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN JEFrER-
soN.-The temperance movement inau-
gurated in the Northern end of this
county, by the people of Shepherds
town, few weeks ago, has extended
itself and is becoming of considerable
magnitude. Meetings were held in
Charlestown on the afternoon and even
ing of Thursday last, at the Episcopal
Church and Court House, which, con-
sidering the unfavorableness Of the
weather and other untoward causes,
were well attended. The meeting at
the Court House was presided over by
Capt. w. II. Kable, President of the
County Court, and was ably and ear
nestly addressed by Revs. w. H. Meade
and L. B. Shepherd, of this place, and Rev
Henry Lee and Rev. DIR. &. w. An
drews, of Shepherdstown. From the
interest manifested deep current
against the evil of intemperance seems
to be setting i'll this county, and though
differing altogether from the praying
crusades" of the West, there is an ear
nestness apparent in the leaders who
have taken hold of the matter here
(they being among our most intelligent,
esteemed aud popular citizens) that
bids fair to eliminate in final action of
a very decided character.-Spirif.

EDUCATION,


The idea conferred by the term San
education" is commonly understood to
be comprised in graduating" through
public school or academy, and clas-
steal course in the dead languages,
through some college or university.
This is very imperfect idea of what
our education really is. In one way or
another, all are educated, some tor good
and useful pursuits, others to useless
and eyi! ones. Many of the most learn
ed are not well educated. Education
in reality is the preparation and train
ing made for the work of life.
The best education is the thorough
training Of the mind and body; all the
faculties, moral, intellectual and physl-
cal, of each Individual fol- the work In
life he is best qualified for. The best
teaching is that which dis ;erns the pc
culiar talents Of the individual and
trains and directs TO the work in which
they can be most usefplly and effectively
exercised.
There is much in the condition Of So
ciety that interferes with this. The
flood of weak and pernicions literature,
pride and fashion are in the way, but
above all, the mistaken views and false
estimates of the various pursuits of life,
cause many of the most useful and really
honorable employments to be stunned,
and others more gratifying, tofalse pride
and ambition to be sought, without just
regard to the requisite qualification for
either In consequence of this many
loose the best opportunities OF their
lives, or waste their talents in inferior
positions in pursuits they are not quail
fed for
1t is not yet accepted as public opn-
ion that a good farmer or good me-
chanic who has learned well how to
cultivate the soil or to excel in the
work shop is as well educated as the
trained scholar in learned professions.
Nor is it yet accepted or known to all,
that the field for the exercise of the in
tellect and the human faculties may be
rs great, as high and as honorable in
the mine and quarry, in the workshop,
or upon the farm as in any of what are
by distinction called "the professions.
I'm proportion as we come to under
stand the true significance OF ''an edu-
cation and we each seek and prepare
for the work in life for which we have
the best qualifications, will be WISER
better and more useful.
