Harper'S Ferry Happenings.

From the Sentinel:
Sylvester Peacher, a resident of this Vi

jump off while the cars were in motion.
Ray, the little son of Mr.. Magnus Cock

Economy in The Ron,ney institution.

From the Wheeling hlteiligecer.
At the recent meeting of the regents of
the school for the deaf, dumb and blind, at
Romney, there was another sample of econ
omy in administration. The spasm of vir-
tue cost John Hopkins, of CharlestOwn, his
place of assistant principal or steward.
There were no charges against the young
man, who, the LntelHgeneer has reason to
believe, was faithful and capable officer.
Nobody in the institution knew that a
change was to be made. The matter was
brought before the board and railroaded
through before there was time to put on the
brakes or seek an explanation. Hopkins
was rushed out of his $3.50 place and A. O..
Slonaker rushed in at salary of 5000.
II is understood that the scheme was en-
gineered by A. L. Pugh, resident member
of the board, whose voice has often been
raised in the interest of economy in the ad-
ministration of the institution. Mr.. Pugh
is a candidate for the comfortable Office of
sheriff of Hampshire county, and he doubt
less knows why he regards SlOnaker as more
economical at 5000 a year than Hopkins at
half that sum.
If the regents had understood the matter
it is fair TO suppose that they would not
have agreed with the resident member in
his elastic ideas of economy. Perhaps the
regents will think it not too late to look
into their action and ascertain whether q
wrong has been done to the State.
