Late Corp. Treasurer

Weare pleased to learn that arrange
monts have been made to open the Wood
stock Graded and High School on the 18th
of Sept, and to continue it nine months.
The school will be in charge Of Mr.. Z. T..
Kidwell as Principal, with Mr.. J. Monroe
Hottie as associate instructor in the High
School. These gentlemen are well known
as competent and successful teachers, and
they will endeavor to make the school
such as will meet the wants Of our conf
munity. The aim of the trustees is to
have good teachers in all the departments.
The High School will afford a good
course Of instructions in the English
branches, and all the higher branches usu-
ally taught in schools of similar grade.
Advanced students generally, whether
preparing for college, for teaching, or for
business, will find the Woodstock School
well suited to their wants.
There is no reason why Woodstock
should not have the best school in the
county; and we believe the school can be
made such if our people will take sufficient
interest in the matter, and give the teach
e1s and trustees their hearty support and
cooperation. With good arrangements OF
grounds and buildings, with good dlscip-
line and good teaching, the school will be
a success. Let us have n good school.
Persons interested should correspond
with the trustees, or with either Of the
above named teachers.

For the Herald.
WHEATFrELD, Aug. 10, 1854.

Mr.. Editor
The people Of the Northern
part of Shenandoah and the Southeran
part of Frederick counties, have for years
lived in dread Of gang Of incendiaries
that are located a short distance from
this place. About twenty-five thousand
dollars worth of property has been de-
strOyed. Some parties were 50 strongly
suspected by the people Of this neighbor-
hood, that with many the suspicion seemed
to be a certainty The feeling Of indig-
nation became so general that while we
are a law abiding people, there was a
growing feeling that these wrongs could
not be borne and many wero apprehen-
siyc that the iuccndiaries would be sub
iectcd to very Sudden and severe punish
mcnt by the citizens who felt it to be
their first duty to protect their families
and their property.
Notwithstanding the threats against
him Jas. Windle whose property had been
destroyed was very active in securing the
arrest fJno. c. Richards, Buck Fauycr
and benjamin Frye, who have just been
convicted and sentenced to seven years
imprisonment in the penitentiary. We
hope this is the beginning of the breaking
up of the gang and that hereafter property
will be as secure here as in other sections
of our country. "

The gand-mass meeting
which was advertised for Luray to-day
to ratify the nominations of Cleveland
and Hendricks, was the most complete
fzzle ever known in Page. Every effort
was made to get the people out, but less
than 100 of the people Of Page outside OF
Luary turned ont. 1t was baby meeting
in companion with the host out pouring Of
county people who turned out to hear
Riddleberger. Parks, Tucker and OFerrall
were their speakers. The Bourbons are
disappointed at the small turn out, and
the blaine and Logan men are jubilant on
account Of the weakness Of the Bourbons
in Page as evidenced by the small turn

The Promising Young Man.

There once was a Few fisherman
Who walked off from Riverside
To catch the wild bloater
And the frisIy black bass,
But when he arrove off Shenandoah
The stormy wind did begin to roar
His little heart becoming very sore
Towards Woodstock he ran.
He battled and he ratified
With his feelings so mournful .,
He hollow'd and he yellow'd out for help
but in vain,
Then did he gently slide
To the waiting shores of Riverside
But previously to that he cried;
an come bye and bye"
His ghost walked out next night
To his damOiselle-his hearts delight
He said 81 was not in any plight
To receive Toby's bite"
But when she heard his excuses Few
She said "I'll ever think your promls
true,
Ifyou get there before do"
And She went raving mad.

Delaware Day at Cape May.

The excursion on Monday from Will
mington, New Castle and Delaware City,
to Cape May and the Breakwater under
the direction af ex-sheriff Philip X.
Clark, on the splendid steamer Republic,
was q success, both for pleasure and pro-
fit. Some delay was experinced in get
ting away from Wilmington, but after
the start was made everything went
along smoothly. About 1000 persons
went on the excursion. Good music was
rendered by the First Regiment Band of
Wilmington. Plenty of politics was to
be heard on every side, both Democrats
and Republicans vieing with each other
as to which could do the most haudshak-
ing. The nominees for Sherif-Ford and
Stidham, were there, as well as Sparks,
the Republican aspirant for Coroner.
Widdoes, was not to be seen, yet we
heard his name mentioned more than
once. The occasion was given tone by
having the company of the Mayor of
Newark, and the Mayor of New Castle,
both excellent gentlemen. The ice cream
stand drove fair trade, while Apollo
naris water was eagerly sought after.
There was a feeble attempt TO get up
dance, but the thing hung fire, and Mr..
Fiddler boxed his instrument. The bath
ing at Cape May was shorn of its usual
attractiveness by strong under-current.
Many, however, took a plunge in the
briny waters. The newspaper fraternity
was pretty well represented. Among the
number we noted Mr. E. NJ. Hopes,
manager of the Morning NeaOS accom-
panied by his wife and sisterin-law. A
gentleman from this town, who made a
visit to the Breakwater, through some
sense of kindness, fed the fishes before
reaching that point it is said to the
amount of 10 cents worth. The boat lett
| Cape May Point landing at o'clock.
The steam home was very pleasant, and
from what we could observe, gave those
inclined to be spoony, most excellent
opportunity. The moon cast her bright
ness upon the scene, before the boat
touched the wharf at Wilmington, and
many changed positions Ito view, of
course, pale luna's magnetic beauty. The
train arrived at the p, w. & B, Station
as the hands on the indicator were draw
ing on to 10 o'clock. Mr.. Clark is to be con-
graduated on his signal success as man
ager, being fully capable of pleasing all
who go with him.

Grapes Blood | Fright Fun !

As is customary, the "freshies" were
taken On a grape foraging expedition one
night this week. The fellow selected to
be paralyzed with fright, by the dying
groans of the Junior, took in the situa-
tion at u glance. The wounded unto
death was hurriedly carried to his room
and tenderly deposited on bed. "Who
will get pitcher of WATER" was asked
pleadingly. A young man OF supple form
and trembling with excitement, quickly
darted down three flights of stars to pro-
cure that with which to wash away the
blood from the cruel wound. "Who will
go for DOCTOR" was next pleadingly in
quired, and the same specialized sympa-
thizer gave hearty 81 will ~ and down
three flights of stairs and out into the
blackness of the night he swiftly sped.
A doctor procured, they rushed back to
the bedside of the sufferer. Prescrip-
tions were written out without stint and
as fast as the "sympathizer" had one
compounded and brought to the doctor
he was hurried away with another. Not
being m athlete the sympathizer grew
weary, and as the last prescription was
tremblingly given to the druggist, he
sank into chair with pallid counte-
nance and breast heaving with painful
emotion. Some one tried to cheer him
up with the remark, "that it was all a
hoax, but he feelingly remarked that he
knew such was not the case, "because he
plainly saw blood" ON poor "Dewey's"
marble brow,

On Wednesday night the midnight
train brought man to this town who
represented himself as agent for David
Landreth & Son, seed merchants, Phila-
delphia. This man came to the Wash
ington House, and on Thursday morning
procured horse and buggy, from Mr..
Wilson, the proprietor, for the purpose,
as he said, of canvasing the farmers in
the neighborhood of Glasgow for the
sale of seeds. Mr.. Wilson never suspect
ed anything until Saturday, when his
suspicious were aroused. He immedi-
ately telegraphed the firm of Landreth
& Son and received II reply, stating that
no such person was in their employ
Search was at once instituted, but to this
time no clue has been obtained. Mr..
Wilson valued the horse and buggy at
$500. We sincerely hope he may recover
the team, and catch the fellow.

was very restless during Tuesday night.
On Wednesday night he tore the band
ages from his neck.
Mr.. Darlington complained of feeling
unwe!l and for some time has suffered
from the dyspepsia and thought he was
going into decline. He is sober indus
trious man, and was in the employ of
] Morton Poole Company of Whining
ton; he is unmarried and about 33 years
of age.
Two negroes, brothers, named Frank
and Lewis Bias living but short dis
lance in the country, came to town Sat
urday night last, got drunk, when
another colored man asked one of Them
for money due him, causing the two des-
perate negroes to get quarrelsome. Later
in the night, these two desperadoes I'M
dertook to paint the town red, started
fight with other colored men on the
street. Pistols and knives were freely
used, officer Legates came up and the
two men started off at a run, they were
pursued and overtaken by the officer,
whom they dealt terrible blow in the
right eye with the butt Of revolver, and
escaped. A posse of men were sworn in,
numbering about twelve, who were
heavily armed, went to the Bias house
and searched for them, but the fellows
had taken to safer quarters. The woods
were searched but the fugitives could not
be found. The town was IN the widest
kind OF excitement, and every household
in the centre was aroused, and the streets
were crowded with men in fever of eI-
element and ready for riot at that
time. These two negroes are desper-
ate characters, and are well-known about
this town for their evil-doings. There
were over twenty shots fired after the
fugitives, but without avail. What 1
pity. Evidently the shooting must have
been to frighten the negroes instead o.
striking them. The most injured mar
is Constable Legates, who WAS strucl
in the eye.
