THE teachers OF the county have
received their certificates and some
of them, we learn, are just little
disappointed. Some who expected
to get first grade got only second;
some who expected to get second
grade were given third. We do not
know that the complaint is anything
like general, but have heard whis-
per or two. This is very natural.
The board of examiners made an
effort to raise the standard of schol-
arship in this county, and very
commendable effort it was. Surely
the teachers, who are professed edu-
Gators, should not be first to raise an
objection. And then there is an
other consideration. The boards of
education in every district in the
county but one have raised the teach
ers' salary--a wise and pious act.
The salaries are still low enough, yet
it is not out of place that the educa-
tional standard be raised at the same
time that the salary is. This is not
saying that every teacher in the
county received on examination day
all he is worth. We know nothing
about that. Possibly some may not
have done themselves justice. One
days examination is not sure test.
But it is certainly no fault of the
examiners, for they are men eminently
well qualified in every way for their
work.

PLEASANT NUPTIALs-HARTIGAN-
HAGANs.-A pleasant surprise Ito
the public) was enacted at the home
of Hon. J. Marshall Hagans on Sat
urday morning last. 1t was at an
early hour that a company Of guests,
drawn exclusively from the relatives
of the family, and bearing in their
faces that look of expectancy which
only-a wedding excites, began to slip
into the front door of the residence
and gather under the chandelier of
the parlor. 1t was at this quiet hour,
"In the gray of the dawning
Between the night and morning."
that DR.. James w. Hartigan, of
Piedmont, stole the fair hand of Miss
Mary ", the eldest daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Hagans, and claimed her
as his bride.
The event-at some future time
was fully anticipated in social cir
cles, but the most expert news monger
comedies that the day and date were
slyly kept.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. Mr.. Crawford, Of the Nj. E.
church, in dignifled and impressive
manner. The pretty bride sparkled
as jewel on the arm of the hand
some groom. Both were dressed in
travelling costume. They bore them
selves with the composure character
istic of graceful culture. With the
conclusion of the ceremony the COM
pany partook of an elegant and
dainty breakfast lunch; the carriage
was announced at the door; the bride
sat down at the piano and dashed off
in her sprightly way, a few strains
Of "Home, Sweet Home" sitting, at
the same time. the tear that was
ready to start; the good-byes were
fondly said; the driver cracked whip,
and the handsome couple were whisk-
ed away, with the traditional slipper
sailing after them.
They go to the beautiful city of
Cleveland to spend the winter, where
DR.. Hartigan will attend a course Of
medical lectures. The parting re-
grets and kindest wishes Of many
friends will follow them. The bride,
especially, will be missed in the social
circle, and her mastery music will
be sadly missed in many places
where it has 80 often charmed and
inspired. The best wishes of the
New DOMINION are extended for the
fullest realization Of their brightest
expectations.

FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.-One day last
week young and good looking mar
ried woman living in Cheat Neck,
this county, came to town and made
oath before the proper authorities
that on the night of the 9th inst. two
young men (giving their names) liv-
ing in that neighborhood went to her
house, forcibly and savagely took her
husband, who is very weak and
sickly man, out of bed, confined and
held him while they accomplished
the foul and fiendish purpose for
which they entered the house. AS
they were strong and brutal men she
was not able to make an effectual
resistance. Upon her sworn state
ment warrants were made out and
put into the hands Of officers. The
fiends are yet at large. We have
thought it best'not to give the names
of any of the parties, but will publish
them as soon as the recleants are
brought to trial.

This was for the purpose of remind

come. Let him come when he will
and he is unwelcome. The Egyp-

prepare for the grim monster and be
ready to follow him, let him call when
he would. The lesson can we'll be
remembered to-day. All should live
prepared to die at any moment, and
all should learn now while in the full
