LAMBERT-KEARE55.

The First NJ. F. Church was crowded
Wednesday at $3.50 p. IN. with large
audience of friends and well-wishers of
the two popular young people whose
marriage was to be celebrated. Promptly
at the hour named the bridal party, con-
sisting ofthe ushers, Messrs, G. S. Jen-
nings, C A. Mantz, c. A. Young and
II. d. Wolies, entered the church, fol-
lowed by Mr. B. F. Dooley, best man,
with the bride, and the groom with
Miss Clara Schleuss, bridesmaid. The
bride and Miss Schleuss were dressed
in exactly similar costumes, of cadet
blue serge, with toques to match, and
wore tan gloves. The bride carried a
bouquet of beautiful roses, tied with
long bows and ends of ribbon. Mr. A.
d. Darby, presided with ini1nitable skill,
at the organ, rendering Mendelsohn' S
popular wedding march. The newly
welded couple left on the $50 p. IN.
train for the east, and after spending
some time, will return to this city, their
future home We join their many
friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. A. +.
Lambert a prosperous and happy jour
ney over the troublous sea of life, and
hope that for them, at least, there will
be no storms. Rev. w. H. Chapman,
the pastor of the First NJ. +. Church,
performed the ceremony.

TO THE TEACHERS OF BERKELEY
COUNTY.

The amendments made at the. last
session Of Legislature to sections eleven
and twenty-nine of chapter forty-fve
Of the Code, relating to branches of
learning required TO be taught i'll the
free Schools, and the branches upon
which applicants for a teachers certifi-
cate are required to be examined, are in
conflict. Section eleven names civil
government and bookkeeping among
the branches to be taught i'll the free
schools, but says that they shall not be
required to be taught nor the teachers
be required to be examined in relation
thereto before the list of July 1892.
The amendment to section twenty
nine was passed after the amendment
to section eleven, ard requires that ali
applicants for a third grade certificate
shall be examined in all the branches
now required to be taught i'll the free
schools, and that all applicants for a
second grade certificate i'll addition to
the branches now required to be taught
shall be examined in civil government,
and all applicants for first grade GER
tifcate, i'll addition to the branches
now required to be taught, civil gov
eminent and bookkeeing
This conflict this year cannot be
feconciled, and the requirements of
section tWenty-nine must be obeyed.
Here IS the opinion of the Attorney
General on this matter. Certainly
bookkeeping and civil government are
not branches required to be taught in
primary schools before July 1st, 1892,
Therefore, although the applicant in
order to secure a no. one certificate
must be examined in these branches
in the school year Of 1891, he OF she
may obtain a No. two certificate with
out being eXamiued in bookkeeping this
year and No, three certificate with
out being examined in either civil gov
eminent or bookkeeping" I publish
this in behalf of the teachers of Berke-
ley County, as there have been some
questions in regard to these extra
branches of study.
Your obedient servant,
P. T. KEESECKER,

say we mean to have that bridge up

terprise. We never crossed the old
bridge without a shudder.
BAPTIST CHURcn.-We attended the
Childgen's Day at the Baptist Church
Sunday The singing was fine. Ex-
ercises very instructive, especially the
short lecture to the children by the
pastor, Rev. T. p. Robertson. To
illustrate clearly to the children, how
much easier it is for them to trust in
God than for grown persons to exer-
else faith, he had a number of tacks, a
large nail crooked rusty one, and a
magnet. A smile rippled over the au-
dience. Thd children were very earn
estly looking and listening-wonder-
ing what was to be done with those
tacks and nails. Placing the objects
full IN view with the magnet he let all
see how easy it is to draw the little
tacks, for they readily yielded to the
attraction and influence Of Gods spirit,
represented by the magnet but when
we grow larger and reach the age Of
maturity our hearts grow harder and
we find it far more difficult to become
trusting, faithful christian. For unless
we become as little children we cannot
enter the kingdom Of God.
The magnet was then tried on the
large nail, which represented man at
maturity by persistent effort he sue
ceeded in raising it from the plate but
it was a trembling hold and swaying,
with an irregular, uncertain motion for
an instant, back it fell heavily-from
grace and gospel influence. Then the
old bent and rusty nail was tried but
the magnet could make no impression
whatever on it. This, said the pastor,
is the man grown old in sin, whose soul
can no longer feel desire for a purer
life nor exercise faith in God S promises
to man. Very few become christians
at the age Of fifty. Any one in the
room who became a christian at that
age please rise-not one stood up-at
none before twenty-a
large number stood-thus verifying
the assertion. Then speaking Of the
force Of example-he made it very evil
dent that, g / am my brother S keeper !"
Earth may resound with the praises of
a good mans life !. hell may groan as
the result Of the direful influence Of
the example Of an impious man. We
are not living for ourselves alone. We
cannot confine the influence Of our
lives within the little realm ofself We
break out over ourselves and as the
mighty river flows on and on, carving
with it freshness and vigor, life and
strength to vegetation or destruction
by Overlooking and covering with mud
and debris,-so we with our influence
turn others to God for right and safety,
or lure them to destruction, 81 am my

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM - Regular Correspondent. }

WASHINGTON, JUNE ~, 1891.
The condition Of the United States
Treasury has heen much talked Of dur.
ing the last few days, and among the
politicians Of both parties it has been
the fruitful source Of mis-statefnents,
not to give the hundred and one that
have been told on both sides worse
name. The Democrats have declared
that the much propheSied deficit was
an actual fact, while the republicans
have been inst rs cnphatical in stating
that the Treasury had plenty Of availa-
bic cash on hand Neither q them
have stated the facts Just as they cNis-
ted, without eXaggeration. because they
were. 81 both sides. trying 10 make
political capital out Of what should
really have nothing 70 % with par,i-
san politics.
However II is handy fair TO saddle
all Of the h'ame up,n the politicians,
when uuch % IL IS chargcablc to the
style in which the Treasury statements
are made M, For two days this state
meut made i appear that the q. S.
Treasury had given checks for nearly
a million dollars mo5c than the amount
Of available cash 10 the Treasury
hence the democratic stories of the
Treasury de6cit-vhcn as a matter
OF fact the Treasurer had $4,000. ooo
on deposit with national banks which
was certainly just as much available
as in a private individual bank depos-
its, besides. there was in the treasury
more than $40. 600. 900 in fractional
silveT-hence the republican claim Of
plenty Of money.
There is no deficit, and there is not
plenty Of money the real situation is
midway between those statements, but
as all the big payments that will be
due for three months have now been
paid it is fair TO infer that the Treasury
surplus will increase very rapidly dur
ing the next ninety days. Among the
questions to be considered at the cabi-
net meeting which Mr. Harrison called,
before going to Cape May Point with
Mrs. Harrison and the children, for
next Friday, it is understood will be
the form of Treasury statement to be
used, and it is hoped that it may be
decided to change it TO palmer form,
so that neither side can take advantage
Of it for political purposes Every
patriotic citizen, no matter what his
political prejudices are, should be in
favor Of divorcing out financial system
from partisan politics.

TESTIMONIAL.

The prosperity of the Martinsburg
City Schools depends, in a great mea-
sure, upon the fact that few changes
are made, from year to year in the
corps of teachers. Nothing can be
more detrimental to the advancement
of school than a frequent change of
teachers nothing more conducive TO
its prosperity than the disappointment
of those teachers whose " efforts "
have been crowned with success.
In the voluntary retirement OF Prof.
]. l.. F. Combs, the teachers lose a
hearty co-worker in the cause of educa-
ton and the schools, a Jealous, court
eous. and christian instructor
The Principals shall recall with
pleasure the monthly meetings of the
past four years, in which Prof. Combs
was always an active participant, as
well as a genial gentleman, and jovial
companion while the Board of Educa-
ton shall respect and esteem him for
his untiring energy, devotion to duty,
and uniform courtesy to those in au-
thority.
Prof. Combs should feel proud to
know that the best wishes, not only Of
the undersigned officers and teachers,
but, also, of host of admiring friends
in Martinsburg, go with him /; and
that, whatever be his future vocation
in life, he shall find, in them, friends,
true and steadfast, ever ready and will.
