The great trouble with teachers
having small attendance In q
district where there are many chill

they do not know their own inter-

excuse, they ara robbing them of

has given them to improve. They
are taking from them that which

height and regaid them for the wear
isome climb. Samuel Douglas Wyeth
was his name. But his pleasant face
and quiet greeting will be missed
from the great dome, for the tired
old man has ''gone up higher" Mr..
Wyeth was an educated and polished
gentleman, with taste for old pic
lures, rare books, and articles of
bric-a-brac which amounted almost
to a passion. His rooms were a
treasury of these art-gatherings, and
here he lived quiet, nearly secluded
life, excepting only an occasional re-
ception to a few friends of cultivated
tastes, to whom these visits were
rare treats. He was native of
Harrisburg, Pa, where his father
taught Simon Cameron "the art pre-
sentative" Once the possessor OF
wealth, which took wings, he also
had a tragic domestic history which
resulted in the almost hermit career
of his later years and left the sad i'm
press of grief and loneliness on a
heart as tender as a woman's. He
seemed to struggle against being
warped by The rough usages of the
world, and to the last was cheerful,
unselfsh, and benignant, ever alert
to say a kind word and do thought
full deed. So here, as elsewhere, we
note the changes of time and the dis
appearance of old landmarks and no.
ted characters. 1t seems but short
time since the old fresco- painter,
Brumidi, who labored for years upon
the capitol decorations, passed away,
leaving his work unfinished.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.-On Mon
day last leak having been dis
covered in the roof of the building
formerly known as Grange Hall,
but now as the Opera House,
which was Changing the fresco-
ing Of the ceiling. Mr.. Frank
Sagendorph with Messrs. Chas.
Ha.ton and Edward NEWMAN
assembled to the roof for the pur-
pose of removing the snow pre-
paratory to repairing the roof. On
attempting to remove the snow the
whole mass commenced to move
when Mr.. Sagendorph called to
his companion to save themselves
at the same time hurrying towards
chimney, which he succeeded
in reaching and secured himself
by it after topping off several
bricks. Mr. Hatton was carried to
the edge of the roof by the sliding
snow but fortunately caught his
heel in the gutter in which posi-
ton he remained until Mr. Sagen-
dorp h succeeded in reaching him
Mr.. NEWMAN finding the snow
moving, and either despairing of
saving himself, or else loosing his
presence of mind, sat down on
the sliding mass and was carried
with it off the roof, falling about
forty five feet and landing on q
fence below, breaking his left leg
below the knee SO seriously as to
require immediate amputation,
and also breaking his arm above
the wrist and both bones of the
right leg.-Stdunton indicator.

The cold weather has checkma-

farmers are content to feed their
stock keep up fires for the comfort
of families, which is generally about
all that can be done i'm this scason
of extreme and vigorous winter,
which Is without precedent, ac-
cording to the recollection Of man.

from Marlinsburg, Darkesville,
Gerardstown, and many from the
neighborhood were in attendance.
The kind h,,a cas-, Mrs. Legg, ac-
quilted herself most nobly in the
preparation OF q grand supper for
her guests. Altogether, nearly one
hundred persons were present.
The occasion was a splendid and
enjoyable one to all present.

by Mr.. Brady to exclude a portion
of the territory now within the cor.
porate limits of the city of Martins
burg, under an ordinance passed
July %, 1872, restoring the same to
the District it was in, on the day
said ordinance was passed ann re.
lieving same from further taxation
for municipal purposes.
The Wheeling atmosphere has had
a bad effect upon many of the new
members, who have suffered from
colds and sore throat. Mr.. Faux
ner is suffering from a severe colo
which has almost untitled him fol
work. DIR. Terrell and Major Davi-
son have both been suffering from
the same complaint. After they all
become acclimated, they will not be
so easily subjected to it.
1t is not often that you see a man
refuse position of honor offered
him. But Senator Faulkner declin-
ed the Presidency of the Senate, and
preferred to remain on the floor
where, in his opinion, he could bet.
ter serve his constituents. He was
pressed to take the position, and
could have lad it by simply saying
he would accept, but could not be
induced to do so.
The members are beginning to
rush in their bills, and the various
committees will soon have all the
work they can we'll attend to. AS
usual in legislative bodies, many
bills will be presented, and never
heard of afterwards.
The matter of choosing a u. s..
Senator is still the absorbing topic.
A caucus was held Monday night,
and a ballot taken which resulted,
Camden 36, Hereford Il, Brannon z,
Mathews 8, w. X. Pendleton 2.
The opposition to Camden, seeing
their weakness, and knowing that
he would be nominated on the next
ballot, went to iillibustering to pre-
vent another vote, and finally got
an adjournment until Tuesday even
ing. The caucus assembled, and the
obstructionists at once set about the
work of preventing ballot. The
proceedings were a disgrace to any
party or assembly of gentlemen. The
minority attempted to dictate to the
majority, and the scene which ensu-
ed was Bedlam duplicated. An adj
journment was finally had until
Wednesday night.
Hon. John Blair Hoge arrived
here Monday night, and is at the

creation Of coordinate, the Court con.

over all private cases OF law and equity
and admiralty cases, and in fact Of nll
cases except those involving fundamental
questions, such as call for constructions Of
the constitution.
This Is tho plan which the Supreme
Court Judges favored and recommended.
The Bar Association committee and the
members OF the Senate Judiciary Commit.
tee were inclined 10 favor the other plan,
which proposed dividing the Supreme
Court into three sub.cliambers, and All.
thori1ing the President TO designate two
assistant Chief Justices from among the
nreseht Justices Of the Supreme Court.
The Chief Justice wolild preside over one
OF tho stib.clanbets, aud each oI the two
assistant Chief Justices would preside over
one OF the other sub.Chambers,
This plan proposed defines what classes
OF cases should go before the snb.Cham.

be delivered by the court in bahr. The
court would be required to meet In banc ut
least twice each month, deliver Judgments
