SwAL1ows.-Everybody is acquainted with
the swallow, perfectly distinct in plumsge and
habits. There is the sand martin, who excavates
his nest in sand bank; the twittering blue
bodied swallow, who builds in our chimney; the
house martin, who nestles in the upper angle OF
a window, or under the jetting roof; and the
longed .winded, active swifts. known by their
dark plumsge, and their ciIcling in the calm
evenings at great hight. They al live upon
insects. r.

ton than any hitherto. We append the
programme as arranged by the Execu-
tive Committee of the Lee Memorial
Association" and it will be seen that
the exercises will be at an earlier hour
OF the day than usual, so as to afford an
opportunity to visitors to return to their
homes in good time: The Executive
Committee of the Lee Memorial AS
ISOLATION have arranged, as far as prac-
tlcable at the present time, the order of
proceedings for the 25th inst-the time
set apart for the interesting ceremonies
OF Decoration Day. The Committee
are advised OF the acceptance of an in,
vltatlon to be present of the Winches-
ter Light Infantry, and it is expected
that other Military Organizations will
also be in attendance. The following
Bands will be present and participate in
the ceremonies: The Cornet Band of
Winchester, The Winchester Drum
Corps, ShepherdStown Band, Duflields
Band, Harper's Ferry Band, Cornet
Band and Mechanics Band OF Charles

TO the County superintendent
and Teachers Of w. Va
PEABODY INSTITUTES"

In answer to numerous inquiries, we
take this method of stating, that the
peabody Institutes" which we expect
to have conducted, during this summer
probably four in each Congressional
District of the State-are provided for
by DR.. B. Sears, General Agent of the
Peabody Fund. They are placed by
him under my management, with an-
thority TO locate them, and to appoint
the instructors who shall conduct them.
AS they from no part of our school syS-
TEN, as provided for by our school law,
attendance on them will be entirely
voluntary and cannot be credited to the
eight days of attendance required by
our Law On County Institutes. Hence
we desire 10 locate them onl among
teachers who desire and will appreciate
them.
We earnestly solicit the active coop
Grafton of all teachers-particularly the
County Superintendent. Sections 80
and So of the School Law impose new
and important duties upon these officers,
and they cannot fail to see the special
fitness of these "Peabody Institute" TO
prepare them for the more sklIltul per-
Torrance of their new work. We shall
aim to have them conducted by expert
! enced teachers, who, both by precept
and example will present and enforce
the best methods, not only OF conduct
ing Institutes, but of teaching and man
aging schools.
The wisdom of the Legislature in
providing for County Institutes, at the
great expense which they necessarily
! involve, can only be justified through
faitEtulness and competency i'll the
County Superintendent in conducting
! them, and we cannot too earnestly urge
upon them, the high obligation under
which they are placed, to embrace this
opportunity for studying the best
methods, for performing this the most
| difficult, as it is the most valuable part
Of their official service.
We respectfully ask the interest of
the people of the State in this, and all
other measures taken to lift up the
standard of Education among US, and
increase the efficiency of our school sys-
TEN. Faithful and competent work on
the part of officers and teachers, and
the sustaining sympathy and watchful-
ness of the whole peope-the common
patrons of the schools, are the essential
powers Of our success Respectfully.

State Suucrintendant.

ArrrMrrrp MURDER IN CUMBERLAND.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN CUMBERLAND.
As Mr. Frederick Mertins was com
ing up from South Cumberland yester-
day about half past clock, p. H., he
passed Messrs. Joseph Bohnert, and
Denton Boothe, who were conversing
together, standing upon the sidewalk.
MIR. Mertins addressed them both with
q friendly salutatiou and continued his
way up the street. He observed Mr..
Bohnert leave his companion and enter
his house in a hasty manner. Yet Mr..
NJ. felt no alarm until he saw him
emerge soon after with Colts Navy
revolver pointed toward him. Seeing
that Bohnert was pursuing him with
some evil design, Mr.. Mertins ran,when
Bohher. fired at him from & distance of
about fifteen feet Mertns continued
TO retreat before Bohnert, who still
pursued, and again Bohnert pulled trig-
ger when within short distance of Mr..
Mertins, who was certainly favored, as
the first shot did Tot take effect and
the second effort was a failure as the
pistol missed fire.
Bohnert, it is said, went back to his
house for some purpose, and Mr. Mer-
tins fastened ny into the city and lodged
complaint with Justice Blocher, who
issued warrant for Bohnrrt's arrest on
the charge of assault with intent to kill.
lie was subsequently taken by Officer
Shore, of the city force, and tried upon
the above charge. The evidence being
in substance as we have stated, the JUS
tice required him TO give bond in the
sum of $1,000, in default of which he
was committed to Jail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. Bohnert is a
stout man, aud, according to his own
statement, seventy-two years Of age,
He formerly kept bakery in South
Cumberland and at one time drinking
saloon, but in later years he was boat
ing on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal.
1t will be remembered that we publish
ed in our local columns 4 few weeks
ago an account of assault with attempt
to kill, in which Joseph Bohnert vas
charged with said otfense upon the per
son of Constable Porter, who attempted
TO serve au execution upon the former
At the preliminary examination yes
terday nothing was developed to show
any cause for the assault. Mr.. Mertins
states that while Bonhert is indebted TO
him for a certain sum of money he new
er pushed him for it, but bad leniently
given him his own time for payment.
Certain property OF Bonher;'s was sold
some time since by authority OF build
ING association and of which Mr.. Mertins
was the purchaser, but this does not

Reduced TO Eating Dirt.
I'm .American Missionary's Description
of The Famine in China.

The Rev. S. Wells Williamson a let
ter dated February 10, says: This day
was the worst of all. | saw abundant
proofs of men eating clay or stones, and
bought three stone cakes. The stone is
the same as our soft stone pencils 1t
is reduced TO dirt, and mixed with mil
let husks, in different proportions, and
then baked. 1t does not look bad hut
tastes like what it is-dust The dead
seem to-day to number more than on
any previous day, for there were twenty
nine in eighteen miles along the road,
and the circumstances were more fri ght-
full. In one valley the road branched
into two, and my servant took one
while took the other-one on each
side of the stream. On his road the
servant saw woman lying in a ditch,
after being robbed OF all she had and
still moving, though unconscious OF any
one passing by. Further on we saw a
mans head cut clean from his body-a
cruel murderers deed. We saw also
among the dead some wounded heads,
but rot done by the wolves, dogs or
birds. The dogs barked and howled
at us when we drove them off from the
dead. Many of the corpses seen when
we were going had disappeared, but
their places were more than supplied by
others.
To these details of what I saw l give
you a briefer account of what | have
heard. Some men coming from Sichum
on their way to Picking, said that along
the whole way they saw dead bodies
here and there. Snow had fallen in
Uouan province a foot deep, and about
eight inches in Shansi to the west and
northwest, and none farther north in
that province. In all that region west
of this the cold had been unusual. The
soft stone is sold at from two to five
mills pound, and bark from five to
seven mills per pound for food. The
roots of sweet flags are dug, but they
cause the face TO swell. Grain is three
or four times the usual price, and tur-
uips and cabbage five or six times.
Flour is 7, 8 and mills per ounce. In
every city | passed through the report
was twenty, thirty or forty dying daily.
At Ping yang, ten great pits had been
filled, aud two carts were daily employ
ed in carting the dead. One innkeeper
told us that Que of bis customers report
ed having counted 270 dead on the
road in three days journey. Whole
families, old and young, die in their
houses and lie there unburried. In one
district a third Of the population are
dead, and the people maintain that in
many towns fully one.half have perish
ed aud they know villages where for
merly dwelt 800, 400 aud even 500
people, Of whom not more than hun
dred now remain.

The Antecedents OF Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation of the blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition OF
the physique, indicating that the life cur

food. loss of appetite, sleep and strength,
and sensation of unnatural languOr. All
these may be regarded As among the in
