Two or three gentlemen were riding

the white appearance of a wheat field,
inquiries arose as to the cause of this
singularity, when the member of the

be snow, as the nights had been quite

that the white was fennel blossoms.

The following shows the number of
youth ofschool age in each of the Dis
tricts, and the distribution of the
distributable School Fund, due Berke-

July LIST, 1886:
Arden Dist, No. of youth, $50 /;
Falling Waters, 453 /: Gerardstown.
84l Hedgesville, S98; Mill Creek,
1872; Opequon, COL total number,

Falling Waters, S662,88; Gerards-
town, St230,64; Hedgesville, s13l ,06 !;
Mill Creek, S559.98; Opequon, SS79. A.
Whole amount distributed among the
Districts, S5507 SO. Teachers receive
no compensation for enumerating the
youth, consequently some of them
are little careless in this matter. A
few in reporting the enumeration,
reported the exact humber of pupils
enrolled. 1t might be possible for the
and enrolment ola SUBJ
district to be exactly the same, but /
am of opinion that it very seldom if
ever occurs. / have no doubt that
there are youths between the ages of
six and twenty-one years in every
of this county that did not
attend the public schools this year.
A pupil may attend school in another
district, county or State, yet heshould
be enumerated in the sub-district in
which he has his residence. Berkeley
County loses, this year, Sl.463. for
every youth not enumerated.

Mr.. Editor.-Hoping that letter
from this place may interest some
readers of The HERALD and especial
ly those with whom we are acquaint.
ed, we shall endeavor to give you a
few lines for publication. The wealth
er has been very dry and warm in
this section OF country for some time |;
until recently we had a good rain
which has revived vegetation, and
made quite a change in the appear
ance of things. Wheat looks moder.
ately well. Corn and oats are short
on account of the dry weather. A
short since the opera house, quite
large building, fell to the ground in
part, but luckily no one was hurt.
There were several new coaches being
taken from the East to the Lake Shore
Road and stopped in front ofthe build
ing few moments before it fell. 1t
fell on two of them and completely
demolished them. The building was
in dilapidated condition for some
time previous. Children's Day was
observed here June the 10, and passed
off very pleasantly. The exercises
consisted of declarations, compost
tons, temperance queen, singing by
primary class, music by the choir
quarette and schools, besides other
exercises. Rev. DIR. Warren, LID,
president of the Boston University,
was present and delivered very fine
lecture, subject, A Dream. There was
an immense crowd of people present.
He also delivered very fine lecture
in College Chapel Monday morning
which was interesting and instructive.
Judge Croker, of Cleveland, deliver
ed a lecture in the college hall June
10th. Subject was Labor and Capital,
and was quite interesting. The atten-
dance of Mt. Union College is moder-
ately fair this term. There are two
hundred and fifty students attending
or probably more. Everything is
moving along nicely. We have spok-
en- once before of some
of the features of this college
and feel that we can not speak too
highly of it yet. The Faculty is doing
all it can for the upbuilding and eleva-
ton of all the students in attendance.
There are three we'll regulated Liter
airy Societies and has a good library
of about 1000 volumes, making in all
AIUoo DOohS. there are Qflle Il Hu1H-
Der of the students who belong to the
Y. M. G. and G. w. G. Associations.
All students upon entering this col
lege must give evidence of good NOR
al character, also of a teachable spirit,
with willingness to govern themselves
cheerfuily in accordance with the col
lege rules and regulations. The daily
Rotations are thorough and each one
is compelled to rely on his own merits
and not that of another. STUDENT.

URBANA, Ohio, June 81, 1886. Mr..
Editor.-It is with sorrow that
write this notice about the death of
one whom held with so much es-
TEEN as did Mr.. George III. Cunning
ham. His death occurred on the 18th
inst. and funeral on the 10Th. His
age was about 75. He was born in
Berkeley Co., in 1911, and was united
in marriage to a Miss Hedges, a sis
ter of the late Hiram Hedges, near
Hedgesyille, and moved to this coun-
ty AZ years ago. He was upright and
honest in all his dealings with his fell
bowman. He came this county COM

eel the other in hemming thumbs.
DR.. w. did very well and the apron
he hemmed was beautifully ornament
ted. He and A. o. also Capt. G. had
evidently been for sometime copying
designs from tea chests. B. H. came
very near getting prize-the Jack
in the box-but e. S. was too much
for him in joining corners. BY the
time those two had finished it was
discovered that they had tackled the
aprons fast to the mantle piece, and
the fair wearers had to use scissors TO
free themselves. This of course oper-
ated some what against their work
and enabled some of the younger
men, j. F., j, r., Mr.. p, G. H., FL.
d., f. ID. and others to secure more
favorable notice, although their work
was not near SO good. We can only
say to the gentlemen "try ii again."
and in the next contest keep your
eye on Frank T.; we learn that he
has determined to win the first prize
if it takes all the summer, and he
loses every finger in the fight.
