effects of this blow, had settled
down over the ropes Seville again
dealt him a powerful blow on the
neck. '''"

The teachers OF the Graded School
were much gratified at the large at
tendance upon the closing exercises
of the school last week, and feel much
encouraged in their work by this
manifestation of public approval
The pupils in the several rooms all
did themselves great credit and every
body was pleased. Eight pupils of
the graduating year received certifi-
Gates, and there were many promo
tions from room to room aud from
class TO class
The grading system and classified
ton adopted and used in this district
have been of great advantage to the
schools and enables the teachers to do
more and better work and the pupils
to mark the steps in their progress.

Progress of the Canal Repairs.


Work on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal goes steadily on, and much is be-
ing done from day to day. That por-
ton between Cumberland and the
tunnel, distance Of thirty miles, is
now entirely completed, and from
Hancock to Cumberland. distance
of sixty miles, will be finished this
week, while the contractors scattered
all along the line are fast approaching
each other
Last Monday the water was to
have been turned into the canal at
Cumberland, to fill it TO the tunnel,
for the purpose of floating eight
loaded boats out of the tunnel, which
were washed in by the flood, and
have been standing there ever since.
1t had been expected that the water
would have been turned in all the
way to WilliamspOrt, but it was found
at the last minute that one level had
to be deepened 1t had been re
ported to Mr. Whitcomb that this
level was all right, but when he
tested it with his level he found that
foot Of earth had to come out in
some places, in order TO give six feet
of water, which the trustees have de
ternined to have throughout the en-
tire length. A large force is at work
on this now, and as soon as this work
and that Of repairing one or two
locks is completed, the canal from
Cumberland TO WilliamspOrt will be
filed 1t is likely that this will take
place by the end of this week. At
Dam No. some work has TO be done,
but this will not delay navigation,
and it will probably be delayed until
the water gets warmer.
On the whole line there are now
twelve hundred men at work, as
many as can be worked to advantage.
Contracts are awarded for building
a large number OF canal boats, and
work will begin at once. They will
be delivered at the rate of one each
week. The old boats will also be
rapidly repaired.
The dredge for the Georgetown end
OF the canal has been completed and
was put to work last week in Rock
Creek, deepening the outlet. The
dredge for the upper end is at Cum
berland nearing completion. The
scow upon which it will be operated
was launched last week. The ma
chine will be completed by the 25th,
and the work of dredging towards
Georgetown will begin at once. This,
however, will not delay navigation.

A Remarkable Couple.

a visit of a gentleman the other
day to the residence of Mr.. John b
Files, who lives in Berkeley county
about six miles from Shepherdstown.
reminded us of some interesting facts
Mr.. Files ha. living with him his
father and mother, Mr.. John Snow
den Files and Mrs Eliza Y. Files, the
former sc years old and the latter 81
persons a generation younger. Mrs.
Files was telling the gentleman OF
something she had read in the REGIS
TER, and picking up the paper she
read the article without the aid of
glasses. and when the visitor re-
marked that her eyes We're good she
said she had her second sight. Mr..
Files is still bale and hearty, and
thinks nothing OF catching risky
young horse and riding about the
country omit. There arefour genera
tions in the family living on the
place. Some time ago, n stranger
went there TO buy horse. He met a
young man in the field and asked
him about the matter. He told him
to see his father He saw the father,
Mr. William Files, who said he
guessed he had better inquire OF his
father. The stranger was slightly
surprised, but found Mr.. John b.
Files and stated his errand. When
the gentleman again referred him 10
his father the stranger was so aston
ished that he couldn't make u deal
with the old gentleman who vas the
great grand father of the first man he
had met. Mr.. and Mrs. Suo"den
Files have been married for more
than siIty-three years, and, as before
stated, both are still in excellent
health and bid fair to live yet many
years. We hope Mrs Files may long
continue TO enjoy the REGISTER
without glasses, too.
