the poets that he presents. His work
in the morning was one Of the finest
efforts IN an educational way we have
ever listened 10. DR.. Peaslee left on
the noon train for Cincinnati We trust
he will visit as again. The convention
adjourned two hours for dinner.
Most Of the teachers, who promised to
be present, were on hand, and were
taken home by our citizens for dinner.
A great many other teachers, who had
not informed the committee, were pres
ent. The afternoon session opened at
2 o'clock. The exercises we're as fol-
lows: Chorus, by High School and
Grammar A; Graded Memory EXer-
cises-How Taught, by Mr.. E. Carr.
Mr.. Carr's paper was very thoughtful
one, and was well received. The regu-
lar programme having been ended, the
convention called on various friends to
fill up the time. Col. Maynard, Mr..
Delay ,Supt. South Charleston Schools,
and Prof. Holmes, of the same, made
very neat talks. II. II. Edwards, Esq,
recited the "Kansas Blacksmith"
This convention, just past, is consid-
cred the best in numbers, spirit and
work, ever held in the county. Much
good has been done for education.

penlh Of nllvs Tude PersLnger

Miss Tude Persinger, youngest daugh-
ter of David Persinger, Esq, died at
the home of her father, four miles from
Washington, on the Snow Hill pike, at
6 o'clock on Saturday morning last, of
typhoid pneumonia, after an illness Oi
five weeks. On the night of January
Sd, she and her father were summoned
to the residence of her sister, Mrs.
James Sollars, who was dangerously
ill. On the way their buggy was up
set, and in consequence of the expos
ure attending the accident, the weather
being extremely cold on that night,
Miss Tude contracted severe cold,
which developed into typhoid pueu-
monia, eliminating in her death. For
time during her illness her condition
seemed to be improving, and her friends
were encouraged to hope for her recOv-
cry, but their hopes were not to be- re-
allied.
On Friday last, being Informed that
she had but a short time to live, she
called her father to her bedside and ex-
pressed her last wishes, making full ar
rangements for her burial, to the small
est details. Her funeral took place on
Sunday morning last. Brief services
were conducted by Rev. Wakefield, at
Mr.. Persinger's residence, after which
the remains were brought to Washing
ton, followed by long train of sorrow
ing friends, and deposited in Washing
ton CemetaEy.
Miss Persinger was born Aug. l3,
1850, at the Persinger homestead, where
she died. For number Of years past
she has spent great portion Of her
time at the home of her sister, Mrs.
DR.. Harlow, in this place, andt was
well known and highly esteemed in
Washington society. A young lady of
puresJ character, and kindest heart,
possessing rare social qualities and aC-
complishments, she was, a general IA
vorite with old and young, and to those
who enjoyed her intimate friendship
and best knew her many excellentquali-
ties of mind and heart, she was pecu-
liarly endeared. Her early death is
mourned with keenest sorrow by her
large circle of loving friends.
The death of Miss Tude, following
within few short weeks that Of her
sister, Mrs. Jennie SOllars, is painful
afilictiOn to the father and family, who
have the sincere sympathy of our COM
munity in their bereavement.
The family desire us to express their
thanks to their, neighbOrs and friends
for kind attentions and sympathy in
their afilictiOn.

The annual Promenade Concert ahd
Ball to be given by the Ely Light
Guards at Music Hall on the ODD
Washington's blrthday-is the absorb
ing topic with the young people. The
coming ball will be the most brilliant
affair ever given under the manage
ment of the Guards. Three hundred
invitations will be issued. Curriers'
famous Orchestra, of Cincinnati, con-
Quoted by Currier in person, will fur
nish music. Those who heard the mu-
sic rendered by this superb orchestra
at the last Light Guard Ball, know
what this promises. A fine programme
Of promenade music has been arranged
by Currier, and excellent entertain
ment will be furnished for those who
do not care to dance, as well as the

The Springfield Republic, Feb. Sd,
says: cit is rumored that VIM. N.
Whiteley has sold his interest in the
Springfield Southern railroad to New
York parties. We hardly think this
report can be true, for we don't think
he would be so foolish as to give up his
interest in what now promises to be
one of the most successful enterprises
in the State. The prospect now is that
ere very long there will be direct COM
munication opened up between Pome-
roy, on the Ohio River, and Chicago,
the heart and center of American in
dustry, and if the parties now owning
this road know when they have good
thing they will hold on to it,"
Our Corporation officers have been
putting the law in force against the
houses of prostitution in our town.
Several of the keepers of such houses,
together with some Of their "board-
erS," have been brought before hls
honor. Mayor Barclay within the past
two weeks, and have been fined pretty
heavily. A continuance in this line of
treatment will soon rid our place Of
these dens, or at least thin them out
considerably. Our town has become
somewhat notorious for the number
and brazenness of its public prosti-
tutes.
Mrs Catharine Getz died at the
home of her son-in-law, Mr.. r. Pass

with fear. He was found crCucned in
in one corner Of his cell praying loudly
fer protection. Though assured that
tie shot was the result Of an accident,
be had no faith in the statement, aud
lie kept carefully away from the win
dow. He begged passionatciy to be re-
moved TO 4 cell where he wouldn't be
exposed 70 such shots. From his
point Of view Guiteau's appeal was
very reasonable. lie has from the be-
ginning of his imprisonment been CX-
posed not only TO shots from the guards
outside, but from any enc with a long
range ridA, The window through
which Sergeant Mason shot a5 Guiteau

his eXamlnalOn: Inc DuieL entered
the outer window, passing through
the centre pane ofglass, making small
round hole about halt an inch i'll di-
ameter. Crossing a corridor Of per-
haps ten feet it entered Guiteau's cell,
which is Oh the ground floor, grazing

IMPROVING.

President Garfield is improving
very slightly since his removal to
Long Branch. The following tel
egram from Attorney General Mac
Veagh to Minister Lowell gives lis
condition on Tuesday the 18th:
There has been no material
change in the presidents condition
during the last twenty four hours.
He was removed at his own request
this forenoon from his bed to an ex-
tension chair in which he remained
for half an hour and has been less
inclined to drowsincss during the
day than usual. The weather is
now very favorable and the physi-
clans think they discover signs Of a
slight timprovementia 10 his symptoms.
They expect him to pass a very COM
fortable night. (Signed)
