THE BEnKELEY COUNTY FAIR.-The
seventh Annual Fair of the Berkeley
County A. Il VI. Association will be held
at Martnsburg on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of this week. The ex-
hibition has been growing in extent and inter-
est each succeeding year, and is now consid
cred second to none in the country. Its
managers spend more money in endeavoring
to entertain, interest and nmusc visitors than
any of the ncighbOring fairs. Notwithstand-
ing the fire of last winter, which swept away
the greater portion of stabing. it has all been
rebuilt, and stockmcn will find ample accom-
mediation for their property. In addition to
this, considerable grading has been done on
the track and it is in good condition for trial
of speed. SiSnor Pcnanto, the wonderful
rope walker, known as the manly, has been
engaged to perform daily, and he promises to
walk both on top and under the rope with his
head down. The admission has been re-
duced to twenty five cents. or season tickets
for the four days, seventy-fve cents.

Mr.. Uuines
r DEAR SIR The Agricultural Picnic at
Byrnes Island on the 9Th inst, was grand
success to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company. The number of persons who ar
rived by the train was estimated to be between
three and four thousand. At Keedysviile
Office two hundred tickets were sold. The
beauty, fashion and elite of Frederick and
many parts of Maryland were represented
Several brass and string bands accompanied
them. The good order enforced on the
Island is due in great measure to an efficient
officer of the raiiroad-Alex. Dent, Esq.
Nothing but slight shower married the days
enjoyment. The railroad company intend to
make very extensive improvements on Byrne's
Island next summer. TIE engineer OF the
company, -- Randolph, Esq, will have
the water conveyed from The mountain springs
this side by pipes to the Island. As the

COUNTY ITEMS.-Fromt the Shepherdstown
Register we copy the following items:
NJ jor Andrews, formerly a member of the
Bar of this county, is Pastor of the Northern
Presbyterian Church, of Clarksburg, this
State.
In consequence of the rain on Saturday
last, the re union Of tho Ex> Con federate SOL
diers to be held at Morgan's Spring, was

The railroad meetings this week at Sharps
burg and Boonsboro for the extepsion of
the s. V. Il. r through Washington coun-
ty, Md, to its contemplated connection with
the Western Maryland Railroad, were decid>
eddy successful. That at Sharpsburg on
Monday evening was addressed by Col. A.
II. Boteler, and resulted in securing the free
right of way through some Of the finest farms
of that neighborhood, and also in general
waking up of the people there in regard to
the importance of the enterprise. In Boons-
boro on Tuesday evening the citizens turned
ont en- masse 20 hear Messrs. Boyce aud
Boteer spelk in behalf of the proposed ex-
tension. They and those of us who accom-
panied them (Mr. Wilson, Engineer, and
J. IT, Zittle) were welcomed to the old Boz
ro' by committee of reception, composed
of some Of its best citizens, who extended to
us the Inequalities of the town. The
speeches of Mcssrs. Boyce and Bnteler were
listened to with great attention, and elected
frequent bursts ofapplause At the conclu-
sion, local committees OF right of way, SUBJ
scriptions, &c, were at once formed and we
were assured that they would go to work
with a will, at once, in providing the neces-
sary ways and means to help the S. V K. r.,
Company through their county to Smiths
al arI in
land, we have no doubt now about the early
extension of the road through that State, for
the people there are fully reused up to the
Importance, and indeed necessity, for the
extension. Other meetings are to be held

THEWoMEN AND HONOR OF VIR-
GINA.

The circular of ''The Women's Association
of Virginia for the Liquidation of tho State
Debt" of which the widow of Captain Maury
is President and the wife of Bishop Whipple
vice president, is, says the Baltimore Sun, an
earnest plea for the fulfilment of the honest OBJ.
legations of the old commonwealth. 1tponts
out that the total debt and interest of the
State amounts to some thirty-three millions
of dollars, and the yearly interest on it to be
provided for about one million eight huns
bred thousand dollars. OF this latter sum
enough is said to be raised by existing tax
to meet the greater part alter paying the or
binary expenses of the State. The de6cien>
cy in making up the entire amount of inter-
est on the public debt is put at from two
hundred thousand to three hundred thous-
and dollars which whould be covered by an
additional tax of ten cents on every hundred
dollars worth of taxable property The cir
cular appeals to the men Of Virginia to con-
sent to the imposition Of this small addition
al tax and thus protect the honor of the
State, and to the women of Virginia to pledge
themselves to save iu their household ecoIo-
mics the full amount Of this additional sum
1t is brave effort on the part of patriotic
| Virginia women to redeem the obligations oil
the State, and coming from such a quarter il
! ought to succeed.

AN APPEAL TO EN- CoNFEDERATEs.-
General Jubal A. Early makes the following
appeal to the survivors ofthe Army Of North
ern Virginia in behalf of the members Of the
Louisiana Division of that army now smitten
by the yellow fever plague =...s.r-
Our comrades Of the Louisiana division Of
the Army of Northern Virginia, signalized
their gallantry and devotion on every battle
field rendered illustrious by the prowess of
that army, from the engagement at Black
burn Ford, on the 18th OF July 1871, TO the
close of its career at Appomattox in April
1865, and it is impcratively demanded uf US,
by every consideration that eau unite the
hearts of brave men who fought and suffered
together for righteous cause, that this cry for
help which comes up from our comrades, in
time of appalling affection, should meet a
prompt and generous response. To be of az all
the assistance asked for must be given at once,
and l therefore call upon all the survivors OF
the Army of Northern Virginia, wherever To-
Gated, to contribute to the relief Of our sut-
fering comrades OF Louisiana.
1t is respectfully requested that some prom
inent officer of the Army of Northern Vir-
GINA, in each of the other States represented
in that army, take prompt measures for re-
spending to the appeal of our Louisiana COM

Two NOTED GRAVE Romans. Our
readers will remember the account given in
these columns of the robbiug Of the grave Of
the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, last May,
the body being found in the dissccting room
of the Ohio Medical College. Public indig-
nation Justly brands any man as a scoundre
who will rob the grave of tho dead. But
there are two noted grave robbers in the
country, SO far from being the subjects of
the peoples wrath, are universally auded for
their virtues. Tie reason is plain. While
the former class steal the dead bodies OF our
loved ones to submit them to the dissectiug
knife, these only rob the graves to restore
the living victims to our hearts and homes.

Church Debts.

David NJ. Stone, of the New York
Journal of Commerce, a member of DR..
Scudder's church in Brooklyn, rose
from his pew and walked out, last Sun
day, when Mr.. Kimball, the debt-raiser,
was announced, OF course, Mr.. Stone
had been interviewed on the subject,
and his talk is well worth reading. He
says he disapproves of doing church
business on Sunday as much as of doing
his own work on that day, and he does
not believe in creating Il momentary
enthusiasm that will fire people up to
promise to pay what they can't afford
or what they don't intend to pay. He
had said he did not favor inviting in
Mr.. Kimball, and so, when he heard
him called, he Went out. He did not
want to be forced into subscription
against his judgement, as he was in
1873. ''Sandwiched in between IA hymn
and prayer" came a request to con-
tribute toward building chapel. No
body stirred till request was made of
him to say what he would do. He of
fered to give whatever was proper, and
one thousand dollars was named. Then
he gave another thousand. The sum
of S2S, 900 was asked for, as sufficient
for the purpose. 1t was raised. Ten
pei cent. of it never was paid, and the
chapel cost $40, 900, causing debt of
$4,000. This is pretty suggestive
sketch of the rise and progress of the
church debt, and pretty sound notion
of the new idea of spasmodic payment.

Scene in a Western School Room.

Modern weapons OF precision can be
used to advantage in the school room,
as well as at the seat of war, especially
in Western villages, where the young
ideas are quite apt to shoot in the di-
rection of the school master. A breach
of discipline in public school at Fos-
ter, Mimi, led recently to an encounter
on the floor, in which the teacher was
logged by the pupil whom he had un
dertaken to punish. The next morn
ing the school master appeared upon
the scene armed to the teeth, and hav-
ing laid on his desk big bowie-knife,
huge club, an axe and large whip,
glared at his pupils, and began to sharp
ell his jack-knife on his boot. The big
boys winked at one another, and the
little girls stopped whispering; and so
overwhelming was the effect of this for
midable armament that at signal from
one of the Iingleaders, there was a rush
for the door, and Il helter-skelter retreat
from the school yard. School was over
for that day.

Leave the Neck Bare.

Every one must remark that favor
tie article of winter clothing for chill
dren, is a comforter swathed around
the neck. This is great error; the
feet and the wrists are the proper mem
bers to keep warm the face and throat
will harden into healthy Indifference to
cold but that muffier, exchanged for
an extra pair of thick socks and knitted
gloves, would preserve a boy or girl
really warm and well. Bronchitis and
sore throat have declined fifty per cent.
since the absurd use of high collars and
twice-round neckerchiefs went out of
fashion; and if the poor would take
better care of their children's feet half
the infantile mortality would disappear.
1t only costs a trifle to put piece of
thick felt OF cork into the bottom of a
boot or shoe, but the difference is often
considerable between that and doc
tors bill, with, perhaps, the under
takers besides.

Let Your Light Shine.
MATT. V. 16.

Many read these words of our Lord
as if he had said, Let your good works
shine. But his language is, "Let your
light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heaven" Else
where he says, 81 am the light of the
world" John viii. IL tx. S. and hence
we are called to let Christ shine in all
our walk and ways, without any thought
of our good works. 1t is dangerous to
remove our eye from Him to be fixed
upon our good works, or attachments
in knowledge, or fancied perfection, for
the result is sure to be cOnceit and pride
and consciousness.
1t is only in union with himself it can
be said, Eye are the light OF the world, :"
Matt. v. l4,) and only as we abide in
Him can we heed the exhOrtatiOn of the
Holy Ghost, ''that We may be blameless
and harmless, the sons of God, without
rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom We shine
as lights in the world" phil. i. Isl
Hence if our fellowship with Christ is
disturbed, the light is obscured, and if
our fellowship is broken, the light dis
appears. But it is equally true that
when he is seen in our conduct and
conversation, men are constrained to
glOrify our Father which is in heaven,
and can no longer make our inconsist-
encies an excnse for their neglect of so
great salvation.
A blind man carrying a lantern at
night in the streets of a city, was met
by an acquaintance who said, "Why do
you carry light7 You are in no dan
ger of stumbling over any one" 'No,"
he replied, "but carry the lantern to
keep any one from stumbling over me-"
Well would it be if all Christians kept
constantly in mind and in heart the
words of the Spirit, aye were some
times darkness, but now are We light in
the Lord: walk as children of light"
(Eph. V. 8 y and Eye are all the chill
dren of light, and the children of the
day we are not of the night, nor of
darkness. Therefore let us not sleep,
as do others but let us watch and be
SOBER" Il Thess. v. 5, 6.)
