b. Yonce, Ph. d., of Roanoke College;
Rev. l.. A. Mann, of Middletown; Rev.
r. c. Holland, of Shepherdstown; Rev.
Patrick Miller, of Lovettsville; and
Prof. Julius d. Dreher, of the College,

The following executive committee was

LII. d., who had been selected as Ora

subject being "The Relation OF Educa-
ted Men to the Masses" After some
remarks by Prof Dreher with regard to
the success of Roanoke College amid
difficulties, and eulogistic of the late
President Bittle, and thanks to the citi-
zens of Funkstown, the Reunion ad-
journed, having had very pleasant
meeting-Hdgrsiown Herald.
In reference to Mr.. &. o. Keedy's
address the Hagerstown Mail says: -
Mr. Keedy announced as his subjects:
"The Relations of Education Men to
the Masses" and proceeded to treat of
the functions which educated men are
to perform as moulders of public senli-
meDt, as Interpreters, of genius, as
pioneers of thought in the fields of dis
coyery and invention, and as exemplars
of morals. The orator spoke with ear
nestness and deliberation, rising at times
into true eloquence The language Of
the speaker was elegant; his style grace
full and attractive; and the impression
produced most gratifying TO the young
orator. All agree that the effort was
exceedingly able for one of his years.
We predict that be will succeed i'll his
chosen profession of the law.
The Ne,os also says

large number of which were ladies of
beauty, grace, and taste, were highly
pleased with the oration-and none the
less with the handsome orator. Four
choice bouquets awarded Mr.. Keedy's
eloquent effort.

For the Register.
for Candidates 10 the
Legislature.

The object of the author OF these
questions is apparent, viz: to make the
people believe that he is the only man
10 this county, who has been member
of the Legislature, who has honesty and
sense sufficient to recommend him for
reelection. He has forgotten that "hu-
mility is beautiful garment, but does
not fit many persons.
We endorse all his interrogations,
and advise him to attend all the conven.
neutrality-suspicious., Senatorial and
County-and make his standard the
test by which to try all aspirants-kili
the guilty, whether they be ignorant or
dishonest, and perhaps by his valiant
display OF knowledge, oratory and pa
triotism he may be nominated. We
suggest that he add few more ques
tons,
No. IL. He Gf a lawyer must affirm
or swear that if elected he will not prl-
marily legislate for the interests OF his
own profession; that he will not shape
his course as a legislator that he may
ascend the political ladder until he be-
comes United States Senator.
No. II. That be will frame, introduce
and have passed q bill that any man
who charges more than six per cent.
interest shall be hung.
No. Is. That he will not accept q
bride. JOHN SMITH of John.

We see by lengthy communication
from Martinsburg TO the Shepherds
town Register, that Hon. Z. Boyd
Faulkner is highly recommended tor
State Senator to represent the counties
of Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan.
We know nothing about MIR. Faulkners
political views, nor do VIC care; if he is
Hayes man, Tilden man, or Peter
Cooper man, it is imnaterial to US; but
we feel confident that no better repre-
sentative can be trolted out in the
whole district. He is competent, honest,
and every way worthy, and We should
be glad to see him have seat in the
Senate. lie will make valuable work

is solid for him. The Charlestown
Free Press justly says Of him: "His
ability, manhood and integrity are IN
