This School, located at Shepherds
town, Jefferson county, ended its first
regular year in June, 1874, and had an
attendance during the year of one hun
dred and forty-fve students The grad
uating class numbered twenty-one; OF
these, twelve were received on State
account aud the rest paid tuition. Eight
of this graduating class are now teach
ing and the rest are continuing their
studies in the Collegiate Department OF
the School with view of fitting them
selves better for the work of teaching.
The second year began in September
last, and now January 1879 the num-
BIER in attendance is one hundred and
fftv.6ye. and the pupils are of such an
aoe as to give character and Importance
to the school. The graduating class
this year will probably be twenty-five,
one-half of them educated on State &C
count. Thus, in two years this school
will have furnished about fifty teachers
TO the free schools of the State, and 1t
NAV be reasonably be expected that 1t
will turn out yearly about twenty-five
for some years to come, if it is properly
provided tor by the State. :,
The Board of Regents have decioeo
that it is their privilege and duty to
confer diplomas upon pay students ana
those educated at State expense, who
pursue and complete the Normal course
of studies prescribed This is wise and
will have good effect upon the schools
and will secure, what should be ear
nestly aimed at, more thorough study
OF the English Branches. 1t induces
all the students to give particular atten-
ton to English studies and to matters
relating to the art of teaching. The
diploma itself is reward of merit, and
the minds of the pupils being specially
trained in reference to the art and pro-
fessiou of teaching, they acquire fond
ness tor it and many afterwards engage
in it, that would not otherwise do SO.
In this way the State will secure many
good teachers, who engage in the pro-
fession for the pure love of it.

THE RAILROAD WARGARRErr KNOCK.
ING Down FAREs.-In order to compel
the Pennsylvania Road to reopen the
cateways of commerce to the people Of
Philadelphia and New York for the
Baltimore and Ohio Road and its con-
nections orders have been given by the
Baltimore and Ohio Company for an
immense reduction of the passenger
rates between Washington Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and the leading
Western cities, viz: Between Chica-
20 and Baltimore and Washington,
from Sl9 to 10; between Cincinnati and
Baltimore and Washington, from Is
to 10; between st. Louis and Baltimore
and Washington, from 1928 to Is; be-
tween Louisville and Baltimore and
Washington, from $40 to II; between
Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Wash
ington, from $3.50 to Sc.
A similar reduction has been made
between Philaphia and Chicago, Gin
cinnati, st. Louis, Louisville and Pitts
burg by way of the Baltimore and
Ohio.
These large reductions made by the
Baltimore and Ohio Company take
effect at once. The travelling public
will thus promptly realize a saving in
many cases of thirty TO forty per cent,
which has resulted from the extraordi-
nary distractions placed by the Penn
sylyania Road in the way Of the use,
by the Baltimore and Ohio Company,
tor its freight ahd' passengers, OF the
monopoly of the Camden and Amboy
Road, controlled by the Pennsylvania
Road between Philadelphia and New
York.

The Bill TO PAY NORMAL School
TEAcmxRs.-It was mentioned in the
Courier some days since that bill had
been introduced in the Senate paying
$4,000 to each of the Normal Schools.
A substitute was proposed and carried
paying each school the exact amount
due tor the years 1873 and 1874, to
Sept. SOth, in each year: The House
very properly amended the bill by in,
serting a clause to pay the Secretary OF
the Board of Regents for actual ser
vices rendered instead of for whole
year. AS amended it was passed and
sent to the Senate yesterday and nc
doubt, will become a Law at once. With
the above amendment it is very prop
er and fair bill, and should be passed
The teachers have deserved their pay
and now should have it.-Charleston

OF the Civil Rights Bill, entered the

to enjoy his rights under Ben. Buffers

Mr.. Grim mildly demonstrated with
Thompson on the improperly of his
conduct, but that worthy being deaf to
reason and entreaty, there was nothing
left but for Mr.. Grim to call officer
Langly, who proceeded to arrest Thomp-
son and give him his civil rights. He
locked linn up for the night in Jail, and
on Wednesday morning he was brought
before Justice Crebs who fined him SIS
and costs, and to give security for his
good behavior for II months. In de
fault of the latter article, which no one
seemed disposed to furnish the colored
gentleman, he was sent TO Jail until the
requirements a"e complied with. Sub
