SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES.

The long expected joint meeting of
airy Societies of Shepherd College was
held Friday evening. At 7 o'clock
the exercises opened with a song by
the school, The Sleigh-ride.n A Sc
lection was then read by Miss Rosa
Billmyer, entitled Bridget as a School
Teacher She read it in a clear,
strong voice, which was highly appre-
ciated, as most of our young ladies
are inclined to ADOPT very low and
dignified tone of voice when before
the public. We were then favored
with music by Miss Minnie Reinhart.
Mr.. George w. Johnson had very
forcible Grafton on "Selfreliance, y
which was well delivered. An excel
lent essay by Miss Rosa Weber, sub
ject, Dreaming followed. She said
"Day-dreaming is very injurious
habit INDUCED in by many people,
The effect upon the mind of allowing
it to wander through scenes Of mag
ined wealth, ambition, frivolity, or
pleasure, is very hurtful. 1t tends to
withdraw the mind from the impor-
tant pursuits Of life, to weaken the
habit of attention, and to injure the
Judgment" Miss Annie Lewis's dec
lamation, Miss Maloney oil the Chi
nese Question" was a grand success.
She has an excellent voice and made
herself distinctly heard throughout
the house. Mr.. Hugh Leavell, the de-
claimer from the Ciceronian Society,
was detained at home by Ia grippe"
He was greatly missed. The regular
exercises were closed with duet by
Misses Reinhart and Eichelberger.
After that, Kentucky Belle by
Miss Rosa Billmyer, and Love in
Cottage" by Miss Annie Lewis, were
called for The young ladies respond
ed cheerfully and did great credit to
the pieces. DIsCIPULA.

a Great Yield of Corn.

The greatest yield produced in Amer
lea has been awarded the prize of $500
offered by the american AgicuHmiSt for
the largest crop of shelled corn grown
on one acre in 1889 The crop was
within fraction of 255 bushels green

Agriculture doubled the prize, max
ing the award 81 600 in all. This crop

for the Canal.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal
case was called in equity by Judge
Cox in Washington last Monday morn
ing. and he announced that after an
examination of the case he had de-
termined to appoint receivers to take
charge of the canal, as prayed in the
bill filed on behalf of the bondholders
of 1878. Justice Cox in announcing
the opinion of the court said that the
Legislature of the State Of Maryland
in 1878 had authorized the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company to contract
a loan, and had provided that the
non-payment of these coupons or in
terest thereon should be cause author
izing the bondholders to apply for a
sale of the canal. 1t was admitted,
he said, that the canal is now in de-
fault, and while the act of the Leg
islature of Maryland could not create
jurisdiction in the courts outside OF
the State, yet equity courts always
possessed power to intervene in any
case to prevent injustice. 1t was a
matter of fact that the canal, in its
present condition, could not be made
to pay. He felt, therefore, obliged to
grant the petition of the mortgages
of 1878 for the appointment Of receiv-
ers, and he would sign a decree to
this effect to be drawn by Messrs.
Morris and Hamilton, the counsel of
these bondholders.
Mr.. Henry c. Winship, of George
town, and Mr. Victor Cushwa, of Will
Transport, have been named as re-
ceivers by the Washington court, and
will at once take charge of that part
of the canal lying within the District
of Columbia

the prices charged elsewhere. We
charge all alike, and do not compel
one customer to pay a big sum to
even up the scale because some one
else has been given "a reduction. And
