rassment, brought out by their read
ing in their full power and beauty
That part in which she referred to
the Faculty and members of the
Glass, was quite touching.
The Valedictory was followed, very
appropriately, with a vocal quartette
entitled "Only a Dream of Home, "
rendered with pathetic beauty by
Misses Pitzer and Pierce, and Messrs.
Timberlake and Emmert.
w. l.. Wilson, Esq, the Orator of
the occasion, was then introduced to
the audience and delivered the AM
nual Address. Mr.. Wilson is Il gem
tleman of splendid talents and fine or
atorical powers, and his address on
this occasion was not only pertinent
but highly eloquent, and contained
much sound advice to those prcpar-
ing themselves by intellectual train
ing for the great battle Of life. We
regret that neither time nor space
will permit, at this time, even sy-
nopsis Of his remarks.
Al the conclusion Of the address,
the Village Bells, a beautiful
chorus, was rendered by the
Vocal Glass, and as the last
notes faded away, two young ladies
approached Mr.. Wilson and present.
ed him with a handsome boquet. The
proceeding took him somewhat by
surprise, but he soon recovered, and
acknowledged the compliment in a
handsome manner.
Prof. Hyde then conferred certiti-
Gates upon the following named pu-
pills, viz
SPECIAL TEsTIM0NIALs-M Miss
Ida Small, for general department !;
Miss Mary Vanmeter, for diligent
and close application.
For good standing in all classes in
the following order Miss Ella
Swartz, Miss Lulie. When, and Miss
Jennie Degrange.
Proiicients-In French, Miss Flor

of Clarke county, Va. In English
Composition and Arithmetic Miss
Fannie Tobey, of Martinsburg. In
Arithmetic-Miss George Rinker, of
Berkeley county.
Schools completed. Natural Phi

Miss Rinker, and Miss Pitzer. In
Bookkeeping, Miss Rinker and Miss
Tobey. Honorable mention--J. p.
Miller, in Arithmetic and Algebra !;
and Miss f. Hooge, diligence in prac-
tice.
The Vocal Glass then sang the
closing chorus g Praise God,v and
the exercises eoled--and so has the
Session. Vacation has come, and al
though the pupils were all endeared
to the Principal, their Teachers, and
to each other, still there was "no
place like home."
They have gone to their homes
The schoolgirls parting is over-the
farewells have all been spoken-some
will return again others, perhaps,
never. But Notwithstanding the ma
ny little trials and troubles Of their
schoolgirl days, in after years, to
think over them, they win call up
many pleasant "reminiscences, and
they will love to dwell upon them as
the happiest of their lives.

BURGLARS ABOUT.
Two successful Burgiaries and One
Attempt.

Attempt.
There ought to be sufficient work to
be found now to keep all honestly in
clined people from stealing, but it
seems from the experience of Mr.. J..
l.. E. Combs, that some thief or
thieves have opened a summer cam
paign ON his stock and goods, and in
tend to clean him out if it takes all
summer. On the night of the 18th
inst, the cellar, under his store, was
relieved of about one hundred and
fifty pounds OF bacon, some four doz-
EN- eggs and one basket. On the night
of the 18th inst, an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to enter his store by
cutting through the shutters on the
window and on Tuesday night 22nd
inst, to cap the climax and crown all
previous attempts and success, his
rouse was entered through the back
window of his kitchen, his bedroom
was visited and a pocket-book con-
tanning about twenty dollars in mon
ey and valuable watch, worth forty
dollars, taken from the pockets of his
clothes. We hope the guilty offender
may be brought to justice.

the Sioux Indians heing permitted
by treaty stipulatiOns to hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con-
greSs next winter will abrugate the
existing treaty and confine these
Indians TO their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of WyOm-
ing Territory. The pre'elt policy
of the government toward the Sioux
is likely TO result in permanent peace
and the civilization of these saVsges.
The lust and humane treatment of
this wur-like tribe and the presence
of United States troops at their agCn-
cies, will prevent the recurrence OF
dppredotiuns which heretofore have
made this section Of the Territory
unsafe and undesirable for settlement.
TIE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The gpyScr region of the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as II National Park,
is uuqucStiUnably the most astOniSh-
ing combination of natural wonders
aud of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States gpulOgiStS, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate This fact. When the
lark shall become accessible by rail
ihdNl7-StN hNt NtdlS ltiltt-Nt pre-
diet that il will become the great
summer resort and sdnitarium of the
continent. For Sight-scerS and lovers
of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have more attractions than
Niagara. Yosemite and the White
Mountains cOmbincd; and there is
the hest rpaSOu to believe that the
myrlad% of hot aud mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
uah!e curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de-
Iightfuliy cool, brncing and healthful.
DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTs
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and ~intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
Is To be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent Improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
Ia twenty years and are consequently
not hurdCnsOme.
With the opening up to settlement
Of Northern Wyoming the tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, as it formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to III mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, will give occupation to a
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healtlfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part of the Western country, which
excells Wyoming. the youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is M place for drones or handles;
but for hard work, honest endeavor,
and capital backed by brains, it offers
"A wide field and a reasonably sure
reward.

Brutal Sport-Infamous.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat states
that at a late hour on "Wednesday night,
at 4 rendezvous near the Lindall park,
in the northern portion Of that city, Il
canine contest vas fought to 4 success
fll issue, between two tWenty-four-
pound dogs, tor Il stake Of$500-S250 a
side. Not more than - or 30 special
tors were in attendance, and they were
exclusively OF the class that p~atronizc
this brutal sport. The combatants were
owned respectively in st. Louis and
Chicago. and the battle was the most
desperate ever fought in this section Of
the country, the st. Louis canine being
killed in the pit, while his aIver-
sary died an hour or two afterward.
Some time since, 4 noted Chicago dog
fighter. hearin" that several firSt-class
dogs were owned in st. Louis city, went
there to prospect, and, after conSidcra-
bic talk. secured Il match with a Ninth
wardrr, who owned Il - pound dog,
which, up to that time had proved i'll
vincible. lis fighting qualities and
staying powers So well known that the
betting at the pit ruled in its favor. The
Chicagoan furnished Il much Younger
canine, and after the hlutcS had been
washed about the mouth and theic ham
oilers had imbihcd of the fluid to see
that It was not poisoned, they went at
it. In the early part of the fight the old
dog had much the best OF it, for while
his younger opponent was going for the
breast and head, he WAS crippling his
tore lcgS. After fighting nearly two
hours the St. Louis dog began to tire,
and as the blood GuShcd from his chest.
which was terribly lacerated, he fell
over exhausted and dying. His conteS-
tant was also a pltiablc sight, both front
legs being chawed to a jelly, and his
throat and Jaws being torn TO ribbons.
The rivals were both dead game, and
fought to the death without a whimpcr.
The ChiragOan, at the conclusion of the
battle, tried in various WAYS known to
the craft to save his favorite's life, but
without avail.
