Rainy weather and muddy roads
are the lamentation of the people of
this vicinity.
Mr.. S. A. Keesecker is on the sick
list, but we are glad to say at writing
is cUnvalescing.
Messrs. J. Kearney, II. V. Sperow,

quite number of birds were killed.

Rev. Sieber commenced his pro-
tracted meeting at Hedges Chapel, on
Monday night.
Jacob Studenwall we understand
has moved into his new house.
What blessing it would be to this
and all other places if this thing
of sending children to school to get
shut of them at home, could be blot
ted out; we find too many parents
that are just that way; they send
their children to school without books
states and expect the teacher to give
them good education. Then there
is another class that will say to the
boy, now Johnny, you behave your
self and if the preceptor Furnishes you,
bring your books home. Well, J.
comes home; well did the teacher
whip you. Yes. Well, what did you
do, 1 didn't do anything, but H. did
and then told that did it. Well,
am going to send note to that teach
er and I'll give him, whipping you
for what other boys do. To such peo-
pie as these we would say, make your
children a study as the teacher
does think twice before you whip
the once. If you think that your boy
has been imposed upon, go to the
teacher, tell him, ask him, how it is
and then he will give you credit; so
many parents let their children do as
they please at home. and when they
start to school they say behave your.
self and they believe he does but
nine times out Of ten he will try to be
with the teacher as he is with his pa
rent. Parents, remember that your
children are your index. BY your
children's conduct at school the teach
er learns how they are trained at
home. So we say visit the school.
Stand by your teacher, don't pull him
down. When now your boy gets
angry at his teacher he will after
awhile see the point that the teacher
is aiming at and give him credit for
the punishment. So we say all is well
that ends well. Visit the schools. =

Gift making time is upon us again.

The gilt made by the child who
for weeks boards its pennies and
then steals quietly away to buy some
little token, all its own, for q darling
mamma or a cherished sister has a
value far beyond that of one who
carelessly spends out of his abund
ant dollars.
In a recent paper by Margaret
Deland, author of "John Ward

gift of sea-shell by heart full Of
the fires of love which the Gods had
sighted:
"This l give, this shell, picked W
on the beach in the wild uproar o.
tumbling waves, because its fleeing
shine OF blue and gray made your
eyes shine IN my memory its glow
of rose, like the heart of a sunset

ing edge, and at the crowdine
barnacles-listen, as it rests in you
hand this wintry day, to the breath
ing Of the summer sea within its tin,

THE MARTINSBURG HERALD,

The biggest sort of sensation
was created at the Capitol last
Thursday by the announcement that
=. b. Slicott, Cashier, of the Serge
ant-at-Arms Office of the House of
Representatives, had absconded
with something like $4,000. 1t was
particularly embarrassing to Mr..
Leedom, the retiring Sergeant-at-
Arms, who was just preparing to
turn the Office over to his newly
elected successor, Mr.. Holmes. The
money taken was the salaries of
members of the House, and just who
will have to lose it is not yet settled,
owing to the slip shod way this
Office has conducted its business for
years. A committee of the House,
assisted by several expert
accountants from the Treasury de.
partment, are engaged in making a
thorough investigation of the Serge
ant-atArms Office, and their report,
which is expected early this week, is
anxiously looked for. Mr.. Slicott was
brought here from Ohio, by Mr..
Leedom six years ago, and since
that time it is estimated that at
least s30,OOO,0OO have passed
through his hands. He owes his
downfall TO fast women and fast
horses, a combination that rarely
fails to ruin any man who follows
them for any length of time.

AN ATTEMPT AT TRAIN WRECK
ING.-Just after passenger train No.
! ofthe Cumberland Valley Railroad,
bound for Winchester, had passed
Washington Station. on Monday ev.
ening last, it plunged into lot of
stone piled upon the track. and just a
little further on another pile and an
iron bar were discovered by the en-
gineer, the bar being fastened between
the rails. The train was heavily load
ed-carrying about $50 passengers
but luckily for all on board, it kept
the track, and no damage done. The
perpetrators of such q dastardly act
should be apprehended, and the pun
ishment which they so richly deserve
speedily melted out to them. We
presume it is the wretch or wretches
who have heretofore stoned trains on
this same road, and not far from the
scene of this intended wreck.-Wl.
