Commencement Exercises.

As the REGISTER went TO press last
week before commencement exercises
of Shepherd College were concluded,
we were unable to publish an account
of the proceedings. Thursday night
a cantata, THE New Flower Queen"
was presented. All of the musical
young ladies of the College, with nu-
merous outside assistants, participa-
ted, and they rendered the cantata in
the most creditabie manner The inn
mense audience was delighted with
the performance, and the highest en-
coniums were bestowed upon Miss
Ella Fordyce, the musical instructress,
to whose diligence and ability the sue
cessful rendition was in great de-
gree due.
Friday evening the exercises of the
graduating class were held. The
graduates were Miss Mary Myers, Mr..
Charles r. Jones and Mr.. Joseph B.
Reinhart. Miss Myers read an essay
and the two young gentlemen deliv-
cred orations. State Superintendent

Memorial Day at ChariestoWn.

Last Saturday was Confederate Me
mortal Day in Charlestown, and the
occasion was celebrated with more
than usual interest. The exercises
were under the management of the
Lee Memorial Association. AT IL
o'clock the procession was formed in
front of the Court House, and was
composed of the Winchester Light In
fantry; the Shepherdstown Cornet
Band; the Friendship and Union
Bands, of Winchester; Charlestown
Fire Company and band; Confederate
Veterans and citizens. After march
inc around the town the procession
moved TO Edge Hill Cemetery, where
the exercises of the day were held.
Congressman Wilson introduced Hon.
w. II. +. Lee, of Virginia, son of Gen.
Robert L. Lee, who made the address
of the day. General Lee made an
earnest, sensible address, and was
warmly applauded. Senator Pasco,
of Florida, who happened to be pres
ent, was also called upon, and respond
ed in brief but touching speech. Col
Henry Kyd Douglas was then intro
duced and in an eloquent address OF
a few minutes in length stirred the
immense crowd to tremendous pitch
of enthusiasm. When the applause
subsidized Hon Daniel b. Lucas stepped
forward and read in his effective way
an original poem, as follows:
And shall we then forget these heroes never
The Southern heart that boasts their memo
ries not,
Shall be Itself deservedly forgot,
While they in fame live on forever.
The sceptre. like the ebbing tide, departs,
While like the granite cliff, whose stable
form
Hurls back the breakers and resists the
storm,
Great deeds outwcar all human arts.
When some laggard age shall lack the light,
Ofhigh achievement OF sublimer mood.
Heroic travel or great fortitude,
Here shall example serve the right.
Praised he their overtures To liberty
Their courage and their unbought sense OF
wrong,
Sublimely faithful and in patience strong,
Their deeds remain our legacy.
The several bands and an excellent
choir trained by Madame Ruhl fur
nished delightful music through
out the programme. The exercises
closed with the strewing of flowers
and the firing of several rounds
over the soldiers graves by the Win
chester Light Infantry. The hOspita-
bic people of Charlestown made it
very pleasant for the numerous visi-
tors and the day was most pleasant
one to all.

This Lawiessness Should be Stopped

We are informed that those persons
who live within couple of miles of
town, along the kearneysville pike,
have been greatly annoyed by mis-
chievous boys and young men, white
and colored. In addition to numer-
Gus petty thefts, many malicious acts
have been perpetuated. Chickens and
ducks have been shot, pig was shot,
and the last atrocity was the firing of
gun at a COW belonging to Mrs.
Helen NJ Pendleton, and painful V
wounding the animal. An inoffensive
peddler was also attacked by the boys
recently near the Burnt House, and
deliberately fired on by the young ras-
Gals. The people of that neighbor-
hood think that forbearance is no
longer virtue, and they will invoke
the law to get relief from the annoy
ances. They give fair warning that
the offenders will be informed upon
and arrested at the first violation of
the law.

\ dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi,
saws: The rumor of grasshoppers in
Otter Tail county has been confirmed
by investigation just completed by
Prof. Luger, OF the State experiment
tai farm. There are millions of the
pests Matching out in the neighbor-
hood of Perham, and not only that,
but already there are many of them
big enough to jump. Prof. Luger says
there are several large townships
which are now literally alive with the
hoppers. They are the genuine Rocky
Mountain variety. the kind that did
such great damage number of years
ago. The Professor says that four
carloads of material has been pur-
chased for shipment to Perham TO be
used in an endeavor to destroy most
of the pests.

Death of Mr. Robert N. Harp.

Death OF Mr. HC0eTt ~. Hdp.
This community was greatly shocked
last Saturday afternoon by the an
nouncement of the death of Dir. Robert
y. Harp, youngest son OF Mrs. Eliza
beth Harp, of this place. Mr.. Harp
was young man most highly re-
spected by the people of Shepherds
town. where he was born and where
he spent nearly all his life. Last fall
he went TO Lynchburg, Va, where he
had accepted a position as book
keeper. He came home u few weeks
ago in bad health, and steadily grew
worse. though few of his friends real
lied his serious condition until they
heard of his death. His funeral took
place Monday evening, the interment
being in ElmwOod Cemetery. Rev. ID.
NJ. Moser conducted the services. The
pail bearers were MesSrs. w. u. Lick
lider, Jas. w. kerney, Newton Wal
tiers, d. l.. Rentch, Orfa Spohn and
j. Louis Sheet. Mr.. Harp was 26
years of age. He was always looked
up to a. a model young man, correct
in his department and moral in his
ways. He commanded the highest re
spect of all, and his death just in the
prime of young manhood is deeply
regretted. The sorrowing members
of his family have the sympathy of
the entire community.

states that the ianitor of a local church
who attempted to render the edifice
more comfortable by lighting fire,
instead filed the building so full of
smoke that services had TO be aban-
doned. Investigation of the heating
apparatus showed that the chimney
had been closed by swallows, and 100
dead birds were removed from the
flue. where they had been smothered.

Among interesting acts of the late
Methodist General Conference was
the ordering OF an election in all the
churches. in 1890, on the question of
admitting women a. delegates to the
General Conference; the same ques-
ton will be submitted to the annual
conference in 1891. The probabilities
are that the women will gain their
point and that in 1892 there will be no
long discussion OF the woman ques-
ton. " such as consumed several days
of the late session.

Tn. Shenandoah River Improvement.

The Secretary of war on Monday
last, in response to a resolution offered
bv Senator Faulkner, transmitted 10
the Senate a statement from the CHIEF
of engineers giving the reason why
he has failed to use the appropriations
made for the improvement OF the
Shenandoah river in Virginia and
West Virginia. The report describes
various obstacles which prevented
the prosecution of the work, and says
at the present time there is no com
merce on the river and two lines OF
railway running parallel to II ana
almost along its very banks. III
the money must be spent. 1t ADDS,
the best thing to do will be to restore
TO the portion of the river to which
the appropriation is applicable the
eighteen inch downstream navigation
that existed prior TO the freshet OF
1877. The question has been raised
bv the solicitor of the treasury, Can
the government properly carry this I'M
provement into effect, in view OF the
recent sale of its property at Harpers
Ferry? BY the terms of this sale the
government has parted with the ldent-
zeal property it needs to make the i'm
provement. Solicitor states that by
the terms of the sale the purchaser Is
entitled to the entire water power OF
the Shenandoah as held by the United
States. If the sale operates as a bar
TO recovering the property, or at least
a portion of it, then the Improvement
cannot be made But if the owner is
willing to concede TO the government
the right to use such water as may be
necessary, and sell back to the United
States the sites OF the old locks, the
Improvement can be made.
