EdinIAurT I1Cnns.

The Christmas holidays passed off at this
place about a. usual. The various Chris
tan organizations made the usual dlstri-
button Of presents to the children of the
Sunday schools, and several evenings were
taken up by a dramatic entertainment,
given by the young men of the band
These, with a leap year party on New
Years eve, comprise the list Of festivities
This leap year party was the last desperate
effort of the girls to profit by the privileges
which they knew they were soon to lose,
and there are strong indications that the
well laid plans Of some have led to result
altogether satisfactory to the schcmers.
On Christmas eve large party assem-
bled at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Downey for the purpose Of celebrating the
tenth anniversary Of their marriage. There
were numerous presents Presented to the
esteemed couple by their friends, aud the
elegant repast and pleasant social enter
tainment which were furnished the guests
made up an evening of unusual enjoyment
to all.
A number of young men who formerly
lived in Edinburg, but now reside in distaat

her injuries would prove fatal.

TIE SHENANDOAH COUNTY INSTITUTE
The Shenandoah County Institute was in
session here on the lst and 2nd inst, and
was perhaps the largest and most earnest
body of teachers that has ever assembled
here.
Among the topics discussed, were How
shall we get our pupil, to study How
shall we secure q regular attendance =
Value Of pronunciation : Best methods
of teaching Reading = Uses of the black
board; and Best methods OF teaching
English GRAMMAR and among those v 10
took part in the discussions were Messrs.
Lemuel Borden, Clarence Urner, W. j.
sibert, w. +. Moss, c. S St anton, and Prot.
Hocnsbell.
The great interest manifested, aud the
intelligent discussions, indicated that onr
schools are in the hands OF efficient teach
ers.
Mr.. Erasmus Painter called attention to
the fact that longer term is what our
schools most need at this time. Prof.
Hoeusholl spoke of the Importance of hav-
ing more money, better teachers, and bet
ter schools. Mr. Borden gave uttcrance to
sentiments highly creditsblc to the pro.
fession, and his advice to teachers will be
needed by all who realize the responsible
ty Of their calling.
The discussions on the questions, How
shall we get our pupils to study and
How shall we secure a regular attend
auceT showed how important il is that
patrons should cooperate with the teach
ers in securing these ends.
Mr.. Sibert's lecture on teaching English
Grammar indicated that he understands
his business, and that grammar is easily
learned when taught by his method. Prof.
J. NJ. Hotel spoke Of the proper use OF
Haryeys Elementary Grammar and our
teachers will do well to follow his advice.
A session Of this Institute was held on
Thursday night, at which time Prof. lloen-
shell delivered an instructive lecture, and
gave twoexcellent readings, oHe of which
was very much appreciated by the ladies'.
Mr.. Moss recited Lord Lovol' in a manner
that did credit to himself and elected the
applause Of the audience.
The Institute was attended by large
number Of visitors from tho town.

We we're not aware that among the ac-
oomplishments Of Col. II. c. Parsons he
was also poet, until we read beautifully
printed collection Of fugitive poems from
his pen. The work is styled 'The Reaper"
and among the verses are some dedicated
to Cyrus II. Mccormick, the inventor Of
the Mccormick Reaper, after bis great in
vention had received medals from various
nationalities. There is real poetic senti-
ment in some of the poems, all written at
random, and to while away a leisure
moment or to avail Of the suggestion Of a
scene or event Of accidental occurrence.
As memeDto the collection is very ap-
prOpriate, and the artistic style Of its get
ting up adds TO its intrinsic value.-Valley
