Editors of the Register:
Very few events have TRANSFERRED in
this locality lately in anyway calculated
to disturb the cqnanimity of our citizens
consequently it is difficult to change, re-
lieye or disturb the monotony, in that
manner at least, that would be interesting
to the general reader. Nevertheless, rs
your paper has II large circulation in this
town and county, we will, for the bene-
fit ofsuch subscribers, give all the local
nows in this vicinity and then quit, if
we have the same control of our emo
tions when through rs we possess now.
The first thing on the list of local
transactions with which We propose to
deal, is brief description of the ciosing
performances recently enacted at Mr..
and Mrs. F. j. Berry's School, in Sutton.
4 list of the performances and subjects
ventilated, with out merltOrlcus eulogy
in almost every case would however,
require more time and space than we are
able to devoteto such subject now. Con-
Sequently we will content ourselves by
saving that the whole thing was II mag
nticent success from Alpha to Omega
Not having the programme before Us,
from the number of announcements made
from the stage, we would judge that some
- or 100 select and original pieces were
made clear by as many performers OF all
agcs. sexes and conditions. We were as
tonishcd at the ease with which many

profound subjects, and left the stage like
/ young Wcbslers Every species of in
tellectual exercise had representative
both able and willingto defend and make
clear
The palm of victory, however, in
point of humor, was likely snatchcd
away, by mammoth grammar class
who mixed up their "genders and num-
bers in an astonishing manner to meet
the peculiarly of their individual pre-
fcrences and objective joints. The fol-
lowingis fair specimen of the manner
in which some subjects were disposed of
"Woman' is common noun, ncuter
g>ldcr, because her head and body gear
are taken solely from Hdnnldte substances
and constitute all of her care. First per
son, because she generally does all the
talking. and responsible agent, because
she lead of on the forbidden fruit, &c.
In the same strain the following def
milton of "cotton met its match:
Cotton though clas'ed as vegetable
. substance, is nevertheless more nearly
allied to animal matter than any other
/ distinguiShable ingredient making up
| the latter composition, as without it in
various forms, you would strip the female
world of one-half Of their charms
Though the above might be considered
exceedingly pointed and partial yet the
masculine members of the "class' re-
ccived their just dues and Jared no bet
ter; in fact being rather distanced in the
! contest. But, so numerous were tho per-
| tormances, that, as before minated, we
can only give Il brief outline. Suffice tito
say that Il densely packed house sat en-
| trance1 Tor three or four hours and when
reminded that nothing further could be
seek or heard, were astunlShed at the
lateness of the hour and reluctantly left.
The news of the election Of the Hon.
| Allen r. Caperton as United States
/ Senator, was received in this locality by
/ expressions of the most hearty approval
Icy most all grades of politicians and their
followers.
The lap of spring appears 80 nearly
accessible, by the last few warm days,
that many are making preparations for
active out door exercise.
Late news from the lamented perman-
ent seat, is invariably received by way of
Wheeling.
Elk river has gorged herself and now
laws dormant, with some four feet of
drifted ice-undigcsted.
