COMMUNICATED.
HoRAcE's GAP,
July 80, 1878.

The sympathies Of our community
are extended to the family of Mr.. Lewis
G. Lucas, 10 their recent bereavement
in the death OF Mr.. LIS father, Capt.
Lewis Lucas. Capt Lucas was thrice
paraIyzed-the first which was slight.
some five or six years ago, while still
living in Leetown; the second, which
permanently disabled him, occurred
couple Of years later, and the third at
tack came 10 him some three days be-
fore he died.
TIE funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Jas. Grammar, of Middleway,
who gave some good advice to those
present suggested by the solemn occa-
sion.
Capt. Lucas was a resident of our
community but few months, but be
had been long and favorably known to
most of our citizens as an honest and
affable gentleman.
Quite large congregation assembled
at LIT. Zion last Sabbath, at the morn
ing service, and Rev. Mr.. Ellison
preached very able sermon. We heard
one lady express the opinion that it was
"aImost like Methodist service" The
congregation in the afternoon was rath-
er smaller than usual, probably because
the TWO services were 80 close together,
only about half an hour intervening.
We had the pleasure last Saturday
evening of assisting Bro. John j. Wat
son TO conduct the Lodge Of Juvenile
Templars, at Leetown, DR.. Thomas H.
Buck, the Superintendent of the Lodge,
being absent. About two-thirds of the
members of the order were present. and
they showed considerable proficiency in
conducting the exercises of the meeting.
The Lodge numbers about tbirty-6ve
members, and new recruits are frequent
ly received, and also those Of the mem
bers who have reached the proper age,
are from time to time transferred TO the
Lodge of Good Templsrs. The Juve-
mails are ofiicered as follows DR..
Thomas Fl. Buck Superintendent; Geo.
d. johnson and John j. Watson As
sistants; Edward Nicely, Past Chief
Templar; Thomas Grove, Chief Templar;
Miss Anna Fetzer, Vice Templar;

lain; Gilbert Davis, Financial Secretary;

Mr.. Zittle,-As Rev. Carey will not
prove TIE charges false brought against
him, We the undersigned citizens feel it
our duty to tell the public just how
this thing stands. Mr.. Carey has done
three things in this place, which has
hurt him. lst. When his clothes were
stoler last fall, he got a search warrant.
2nd. Not long ago, he published let
ter which insulted the members of his
church. 3rd. Mr.. Carey is head of
every order in Sbepherdstown, OF the
colored people, and as these orders close
late at times, he is late getting home.
Some times be sits for hours on the
street waiting for members to meet;
people passing by they say that is no
place for minister, but they don't know
his business there. If there were no
competent men among the white peo-
pie, but their preachers, they would
have to do as we do. Mr.. Carey is
Captain of the Light Infantry of color
ed here, and be sometimes sits in the
alley, where he drills his men, near the
school house, on Monday, and Saturday
nights, an hour or more at a time wait
ing for bis men. Now, what would any
Que say if they would see Mr.. Carey
sitting in an alley after dark, not know
ing his business therei When Mr.
Carey leaves Shepherdstown we don't
want any more Baptist ministers here.
We had to get Mr.. Geo. d. McGlincy
to do this writing for Us, as we can't
write forthe public. So you see Mr..
Carey is our teacher, as well as the
children's.
These are the charges brought against
Mr.. Carey, and for which he was turned
out of bis church. lst. 1t was reported

that he went into the bar-rooms in
Charlestown and drank until the bar
keeper made fun of him as he went out
of the bar-room. Now here is what
the bar keepers in Charlestown say
about it, after seeing the papers which
contained the charge.
2nd. 1t was reported that he was
drunk the last time he went to kear-
neysville to preach. Mr.. Wesley Si5ert
who took him out in buggy says: MIR.
Carey drank nothing intoxicating dur
ing the day, and wrote letter to MIR.
Bracket and Mr.. Morrell, clerk and
chairman of Mr.. Careys trial and it did
no good. Mr.. Carey's meeting was
two miles beyond Kearneysville, and
Mr.. Sibert wishing to come back to
Kearneysville where he started to go,
hurried Mr.. Carey through his work,
so that he might ride back; and from
this, the report got out that Mr.. Carey
was drunk, the reason he hurried away.
3rd. One of Mr.. Carey's members,
who told him to his face, that he would
have to leave here, for writing an article
for the Register about the Yankees,
took it on herself to write letter to
Harpers Ferry, stating that Mr.. Carey
was drunk, and signed peoples name to
it that knew nothing of it; and did not
know that such letter was written;
and the time she says he was drunk
we can furnish a hundred witnesses if
necessary, that Rev. Jas. II. Carey was
just as sober as he ever was in the
world.

"OUR GIRLS"

Rev. ID. Il. Breed Delivered a Lecture a.
the Dayton Avenue Church Last Night
Upon "Our Girls
MIR. Breed introduced his lecture by stating
that he was not going to preach sermon, al
though he was in church. He hoped the au-
dlence would forget for time that he was a
minister. He narrated an anecdote told bv
Barnum, about his delivering funny lecture
In church; he perpetrated joke, not smile
was produced he gave the best joke he ever
made in his life, but no one dared change his
countenance. After the lecture was over a
lady said to the lecturer: 1t was too bad for
him to tell those funny stories; she really did
think she would have to laugh He then CON-
menced his lecture by stating that there were
2oO,OOO young women in the country, and it
was very serious question to decide what
to do with them. Some persons found it Sc
rious question to determine what to do with
one. young woman's life might be divided
into two parts-the first of young ladyhood.
consisting of from five to ten years; the other
OF womanhood, extending from ten to fifty
years, the first stamping the character of the
second. His lecture treated of the absurd
practice of educating the girls specifically in
the accomplishments; she could not talk
French to Bridget in the kitchen or MARBLE
Italian in the nursery. A girls education
should be directed to the period of maturity,
not that of adolescence. The first thing to be
considered was the culture or the mind. He
showed the difference between this and crowd
ing the memory, or giving smattering of use
less subjects
At the finishing schools'-too often more
finishing than the parent expected, where
health and morals are wrecked-the young wo-
man s mind Is huted and fringed with whole
wardrobe of intellectual millinery but no
training given to make them Independent be-
ings. The ivy cinging to the oak is beauti-
! full emblem, and we men are fond of being
! called 'soaks, but what if the oak is rotten

He advocated special branches of study, and
thorough investigation in place of dilettanteism
which is now an element in female education.
man cannot be 'jack of all trades he
sald neither can a woman be ''iill' of all
trades, for when Jack fell down and broke his
crown Jill came tumbling after. He recon-
mended young women to read the Recollections
of Mary Somerville.
The second part of the lecture treated of
love and marriage, which was delicately but
vigorously handled. Young women, he said,
were considered too much in the same way as
phosphorus. valuable only for the good match
| they make, and like it too often they get fas-
tened to a stick. The lecture concluded with
an advocacy of moral and religious culture for
women.

The Hot Springs Steal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The select committee
investigating the omission of the Hot Springs
clause from the sundry civil appropriation bill
last session met this morning and examined
Thomas A. Britt, temporary officer of the Sc
cret service division of the treasury depart
ment, who made the report to Secretary Sher-
man which was sent to Atkins and by him to
this committee. Britts examination was I'M
interesting. He related interviews with Boyd,
Cateman and others who had made affidavits in
the case.
Senator Dorsey asked if Brooks had said any
thing to him about himself and Atkins having
anything to do with the bill.
Witness-Mr. Brooks once said to me, s'They
say Dorsey and Atkins had something to do
with this. You had better .look them over.'
He had gone far enough to satisfy himself they
had nothing to do with the abstraction or the
omission.
Senator Dorsey said he had been very active
supporter of the Hot Springs BILL and did not
care to be pursued by treasury detectives. He
hoped a transcript of this statement would be
sent by the committee to the secretary of the
treasury.
