Mr.. Editor-If those members OF the
County Court of Jefferson, who, at us
recent term, voted for. a renewal OF IL
amor licenses. could have been IN Shep-
berdstown last Saturday evening they
would have had an opportunity to VIII
ness some of the sad effects OF their
official action. For, there were more
drunken men on our streets that evening
than have been seen here for severai
years past-certainly more than during
the entire interval when no licenses
were allowed TO sell liquor except Tor
medicinal purposes upon the prescrlP-
ton of a physician; and it is also mel
ancholy fact that the drunkenness re,
ferred to was not confined to habitual
topers, but included persons who never
before had exhibited themselves to the
public in state of intoxication,amongst
whom-saddest sight of all!-were
youths yet in their teens and even little
boys hardly more than twelve years
old | forbear TO comment on these
deplorable facts. The mere mention OF
them is sufficient, to arouse the serious
attention of our people TO the dangers
which they indicate.
Whilst it is true that comparatively
few of those who were drunk here on
Saturday belong to our place, 1t Is
equally true that they who were intox-
icated were made so here by the taclli'
ties afforded them by the County Court.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do not know
who OF the magistrates, at its late term,
voted for,nor who OF them voted against
the granting OF licenses to liquor sellers
but | do know that those who did so,
unquestionably failed to reflect the
wishes of the community and assumed
fearful responsibility which will not
soon be forgotten nor readily forgiven
by the friends of
TEMPERANCE.

Young men should be deeply i'm
pressed with the vast Importance of
cherishins those principles, and of
clltiva,ing those habits which will Sc
cure them the confidence and esteem of
the wise and the good.
A young man may be unfortunate,
may be poor and penniless but if he
possesses uubending integrity, and I'M
wavering purpose to do what is honest
and inst, lac will have friends and pa
uouS, whatever may be the embarra>s-
ments and exigcucics into which he is
thrown. The young may thus possess
Al capital of which none of the misfor-
tunes and calamities of life can deprive
them.
We have known men who have sud
denly been reduced from aiiluence TO
perjury by some overwhelming mistor-
tune, which they could neither torcsee
nor prevent. TO day they were pros
percuS, tomorrow every earthly pros
pect was blighted, and everything in
their future aspect OF lie was dark and
dismal. Their business was gone, their
prosperity gone, and they feel that all
is gone; but they have q rich treasure
that nothing can take away. They have
integrity of character, aud this gives
them influence, raises up friends, fur
nishes them with recuniary aid, with
which to commence life once more, I'M
der suspicious circumstances,
We cannot too strongly impress upon
our young men the Importance of ab-
stainipg from everything which shocks
their moral sensibiities, wounds their
conscience and has tendency to weak
en- that nice scnse of honor and integri-
" SO indispensable to a good charac-
ter. "lntegrity OF character! Who
ever possessed it that did not derive I'M
told advantage from it. 1t is better
than riches, it is of more value than dia-
monds and all precious stones and yet
every man may possess it. The poor
est may have it, and no power on earth
can wrest it from them. Young men,
prize integrity Of character above all
earthly gifts,

REMOVING AN EYE-Major Harry
Gilmor, one of the police commission
ers, has undergone successful opera
ton at the hands of Professor Chisolm
for the removal Of his right eye, the
sight of which was destroyed several
years ago. Major Gilmor had expert
enced no special uneasiness from the
eye, although the sight had been long
since destl Dyed, until within about two
weeks past, when it became very pain
ful. and his good eye became very SEN
sitive. Prot. Chisolm, whom he consul
ted, found that the only way to save
the good eye was to remove the other
one. The operation was successfully
performed on Monday afternoon, and
the Major was able to be present at the
session of the police board The next
mornino.-Bah. Sun.

MEMORIAL SERVICES At SHEPHERDS
TowN.-The annual decoration OF the
graves in the Confederate Cemetery at
Shepherdstown, will take place on Sat
urday afternoon. Addresses will be
delivered on the occasion, and there
illdoublless be the same large gather
ing and impressive ceremonies. Early
after the war, Shepherdstown was one
of the first places which paid this beau
tiful tribute to her dead soldiers and,
with no abatement of tenderness, the
custom has been kept up year after
year. All classes of society, old men
and maidens, give this one day to the
memory of the past and we have no
doubt the services on next Saturday
will be full of impressiveness-and per-
haps doubly sad because that good old
man, Rev. DR.. Andrews, who never
failed TO be there with his flowers and
his prayers, has lately been laio at rest,
near by the graves Of the soldiers

of iron ore lands, the establishment OF
manufactures for making iron, and the
development of the coal regions west
of narrisopLurg. The corporators, we
are informed, also design the building
of the S. V. Railroad, as well as the
Shen. Valley & Ohio Railroad. We
wish the gentlemen success, if they can
break up the monopoly exercised by

neat and appropriate speech TO the

The Governor, from his appearance,
is in the enjoyment Of fine health and
gives no physical evidence Of the annoy
ances to which he has lately been sub
lected in oboying the mandate OF She
Legislature i'll removing the archives OF
the State government TO Wheeling.
Whatever may be said of the Governor
by his enemies, because OF his tollln9
them in their raids on the treasury, the
large number Of the thinking masses OF
the people accord him sincerity and
honesty of purpose in the discharge OF
his official duties, and we predict that
lie will retire from the guhernatorial
chair commanding the respect and graf
itude OF the entire people OF the State.

Rapid Combinations.

The beneficial effects Of "rapid COM
binations are lost upon the great ma
jority of pupils. A few in each class
or division, following the thread through
the maze Of pluss, minus, divide by,
reach the goal in good condition while
the mass are utterly non :olussed by the
rapidity with which the numbers flow
from the mouth Of their teacher, (D and
after several, perhaps many, abortive
efforts, sink into the slough Of despond,
or sit in silent admiration Of the genius
of their mates, whose superior endow-
ments enable them to accomplish such
wonders.
All such exercises should be proper
~ graded. Begin with plus l, if nee
essary, and increase in difficulty and
rapidity only as fast as the class Tor
most of it., can secure Nth ease the
direct results. The habit of hurting at
the heads of !. class, unaccustomed to
such work. or not prepared for it by
previous drill, :. bundle of ten or doz-
en- numbers, bristling with all the signs
in the primary arithmetic, is simply
waste Of muscular energy on the part
of the teacher which is Of some value,
and Of the time Of the pupil, which is
of more value .. -.
Time can be saved by teaching the
addition and subtraction tables properly.
Thus, teach that s plus : equals II:
that Is plus equals p; that q plus 6
equals 81, &c. Coun+ing by rs, So,
12's, ISIS, 24's, &c., both forward and
backward is excellent drill. III

: Many a precious hour is lost to pu-
pills in higher grades by a want of that
accuracy in the fundamental processes
which should have been acquired in it's
proper place. The scholars who per-
sist in writing 81 as the product of 7x9
are not yet "weeded out" of classes
whose daily drill is interest, ratio, or
square root. Pupils do not d,oel long
enough on the simpler things in arith-
metic. When they have learned how
to subtract, they are hurried on to multi.
plication, instead Of d,oelling on sub
traction. liuing on it, until the opera
tion from ,cork becomes play. Much
of the irksomeness of school life, much
of the truancy, much of the disposition
to leave school, is owing to the dissat-
isfaction with their work felt by pupils
themselves. A child likes to do what
he can do we'll, and when he does not
feel the ground firm under his feet, he
grows restless.
am we'll acquainted with the pres
sure for advancement in grade brought
by foolish parents, and with its mis-.
chievous tendencies: but [ am conf
dent that it results partly from injudi
cious and hasty promotion in lower
grades, which leads the fond mothers
and fathers to expect promotion, at :
time when it is delayed by a lack Of
knowledge or Of skill in it's application
which their petted darlings failed t.
secure when they danced so light,
through the lower grades.-Selected.
