Grocery Store Burned.

That is a noble and self-sacrifcing service
which the fireman renders the community,
and ought to give him high consideration with
his fellow men. AT the fire at Frank F..
Shipley's store on Main street near Church,
on Wednesday morning last, between and 3
O'Clock, the firemen battled with the flames
in snow up to their ankles, while snow and
sleet and hail were descending thick and fast
upon their heads In addition to all this, one
poor fellow, Mr.. John Ii. Shugh, had the
misfortune to fall upon pile of jagged stones,
by which severe scalp wound over his left
eye was sustained, which bled profusely, eav
ing the marks upon the snow. He was taken
to the residence of Mr.. VIM. IL. Vanderford,
where restoratives were given him, and DR..
Joseph I. Herring promptly dressed the
wound and bound up his head, when he was
taken home by several comrades. Hot coffee
was then served to the chilled and dripping
firemen, who had completely extinguished the
fire by 3 clock. The charred and blacken-
ed frame and part of the Notwithstanding
still stand. The contents are a mass of ruins.
The storehouse belonged to Mr.. John krouse,
and was insured in the Carroll County Com
pany The contents of the store were in
sured for 5000 in the same Company. The
fire was first seen in the cellar of the store.
A loud explosion was heard, which is sup
posed to have proceeded from the coal oil.
Great credit is due to the prompt and ener-
getic action of our very efficient fire corps.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

procesaings Of the genool Board.

The Board met pursuant to adjournment.
All the members were present except DIR.

President Grimes and the examiner made
report of the work of the Institute and
sundry matters growing out of it. The report
was accepted and the action taken by them
approved.
The Board of School Commissioners of
Frederick county, through their Secretary,
communicated their willingness to unite in
the erection Of a joint house and the main
tenance of a joint school at Mt. Airy, and
requested the Carroll county Board to name
4 day prior to the middle of April for a meet
ing of the two Boards on the ground for con-
sultation. The secretary was instructed to
name Tuesday, April It'll, and to arrange for
another date if that one should not meet the
| convenience of all parties concerned.
Two anonymous letters were read in which
complaint was made about one of the trustees
of a school. The Board refused to consider
them, it being the unanimous opinion that
complaints made in this way were unworthy
of notice.
Delegations from Emory and Eberg's,
white, and Middletown, colored, school dis
trcts appeared with petitions from the patrons
for new houses for said schools. The Board
agreed to visit each house as soon as conve-
nient, and give previous notice OF the time, so
that they might meet the people of the com
munities.
The following was unanimously passed:
Ordered, That the spring term of school
close on Friday, April 10, and that the Board
meet on Tuesday, 18th, to audit the teachers
reports, which must be sent to the examiner
by Saturday night following the close of the
term.
And further That the annual examination
of public school teachers and other persons
desiring certificates of qualification as such,
and applicants for scholarships at the State
Normal School, be held in Central Hall
Schoolhouse, in Westminster, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, April Is, lG and II,
under such regulations as the examiner may
prescribe, in conformity with law; and that all
teachers be required to undergo said exami-
nation except those who have life certificates,
diplomas from the State Normal School or
Carroll county certificates which will not
expire before the end of the next school year;
also all applicants for scholarships at the State
Normal School; and that no other examine
ton be held within the year except for suiii-
cient cause to the Board made known.
No further business appearing, the Board
adjourned to Tuesday, April 18th, next.

''Look a leedle out" would be a good ad-
monition to some of our young lads who may
yet realize that it is not all gold that glitters.
The private school here, under the entire
control and management of Mr.. Jesse P.
Garner, at his fathers residence, has supplied
a want heretofore greatly felt Mr.. Garner
has been found to be the right man in the
right place. His prompt attention, his strict
though mild and approved moral discipline,
his judicious care and success in imparting
instruction adapted to the various ages and
capacity of his pupils, justly merit the com
mendations so freely bestowed by both patrons
and pupils

TO improve the WASHINGTON Road.

The Washington road is travelled perhaps
more than any other road in Carroll. 1t is
AN excellent road in summer and generally a
very bad one in winter. For some years its
Improvement has been talked of, and recent
ly the subject has been agitated with an
earnestuess that a public meeting resulted.
The meeting took place at Fenby's school
house on Friday night of last week. Mr..
William Fenby was made chairman of the
meeting, and Mr.. Joseph l. Gist secretary.
After an interchange of views committee,
consisting of Messrs. John T. Lynch, Fred
erick N. Hook, Elias B. Arnold William Y.
Frizzell and William Fenby, was appointed
TO confer with the County Commissioners and
urge that the road be macadamized, this
being considered more economical than the
annual expenditure of large sum to keep
the road in repair, with very unsatisfactory
results. Another meeting will be held to-
night-Saturday
