1t is bad showing to have so few of
the enumeration enrolled in each sub-dis-

beers. The blame of this falls upon the
parents and not upon the teachers. We
hope next month to have 4 better report.
Not His Ilistnke.-In an article last
week in The REGISTER, headed ga Serious
Mistake" we stated that an error had
been made in the district levy for the
school fund in ShepherdstOwn district.
Such mistake was made, but not by our
venerable friend Mr.. Thomas Moore,
clerk of the County Court, who sends us
the following for publication, which
shows that the error is not his:

Berkeley County News.-We clip
the following items from the last Martins
burg papers:
From the independents:
Mr.. Grant Darby had his nose severely
fractured on last Tuesday evening while
playing in the match game of base ball
on the fair grounds.
Little Charlie Mandford, who was hurt
ut the railway depot several weeks ago,
died from his I'M uries on last Saturday.
His funeral was preached in the Baptist
Church on Sunday last by Rev. Il. ID.
Roller.
Mrs. William Showers was paralyzed
on Saturday morning last. The paralysis
afflicted the entire right side. She is get
ting along rs well rs could be expected
under the circumstances, and we hope for
her entire recovery soon.
Deatlls.-lt is with great regret that
we chronicle the deaths of two young
men of this vicinity, both victims OF the
dreaded disease, consumption. Last Sum
day, Mr.. K. +. Craighill, who lived near
Duflielts, brcathed his last, aged about 80
years. lie had Intended TO start for Texas
the first of November in the hope Of re-
cuperating his fast-failing health, but he
was Lot permitted to live until that time.
Mr.. Craighill was the only surviving
son, two brothers having fallen victims
to the same disease within the past few
years. The gricf-stricken mother has the
sincere sympathy of the community.
Mr.. J. Albert Ronemous, after a long
and painful illness, died last Monday ut
his home ut Shenandoah junction. He
leaves wife and three small children to
mourn the loss of the husband and father.
a Lnte Winter.-Vennor predicts
considerable amount of warmth yet for
1888. October is likely to give the warmth.
Some actually hot days will be expert
enccd in this month. November will
probably continue open and warm until
the latter portion OF the month, when u
rather severe and wintry period is likely
to set in with hard frosts. The fore part
of December will probably continue cold,
and may lead many to look for an early
setting in of the winter of 1SS3-'SI, but,
rs in 1875, all will be open again during
the latter part of the month and close Of
the year 1888. The year will go out and
the new year enter with but little or no
SNOW, even in northern sections.
Buckled Fast.-The drowning of
children from canal boats lately has
alarmed parents and caused them to be
careful about the freedom of their little
ones. On many of the boats which arrive
here the "kids" now frequently have
huge belt fastened with paddock around
their waists and attached to strong rope
which is tied to the cabin. In this way if
fractions boy falls overheard he can be
promptly jcrked on the boat deck and
treated according to his merits. The in
novatiom is not much relishcd by the
young members of humanity, and many
stoutly kicked when :hey first became the
victims of the belt.-Alerdndrid Gazette.
10. q. F.-Mr. Joseph l.. COokus has
been elected by Caledonia Lodge Of this
place to represent them at the annual

dent Order of Odd Fellows of West Viz

day next, October 22d. Mr.. Cookus will
leave tomorrow for Wheeling.
That old veteran in the cause, Mr.. VIM.
T.. Anderson, will attend US delegate from
the Harper's Ferry lodge. 1t wouldn't
be much of a session if William wasn't
there.
