The Concert NEXT Week.

As heretofore announced in the
REGISTER, the people Of this com
munity have a rich musical treat in
store for them next week. We refer
to the concert to be given in the to ~n
hall next Thursday evening, March
9th, by Mr.. Leo Wheat, OF Virginia,
and Miss Katie Mathaei and Miss An
ma Chapman, of Martinsburg. Every
one in this section has heard Of Mr..
Wheat's wonderful talent as a plan
list, and few we think will miss this
opportunity to hear him. Miss Mat
thaei is a graduate of the conserva-
tory of music at Leipsig, Germany,
and has studied under the best mas
ters in that famous musical center.
Miss Chapman has been here before,
and already has reputation as an
attractive vocalist. We are sure that
this combination will furnish an even
ing of the greatest pleasure to our
music-loving people, and there should
be crowded house. The general ad
mission will be but % cents, reserved
seats IS cents. Doors open at $50,
concert begins at 10 p. III.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR: A very delightful sur
prise party was given il honor Of Miss
MAY Cockrell at the residence Of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Cockrell,
near Bakerton, Friday evening, Feb
ruary Gath. Through snow and mud
the guests made their way, anxious, no
doubt, to arrive on a scene, where to
all an evening of real pleasure was
known TO be at hand. What jolly
time we had How all enjoyed them
selves Many and various were the
games that were played, indeed, too
many 10 describe here. We have yet
to remember the pleasant smile that
broke over each countenance when
refreshments were announced. We
were ushered into the dining-room,
and what a sight met ones gaze /!
There a table loaded down with deli
cacies awaited US. How prettily and
artistically arranged What pity
it seemed 10 spoil such great beauty,
and vet all went earnestly TO work,
and it is needless to say more. About
one o'clock all left for home, after ac-
knowledging with profuse thanks the
pleasure afforded them. y.

Improvement m Our Mail arrangement
Acting Postmaster ID. s. Rentch
has received a reply to letter he
recently wrote the PostofIice Depart
ment in which he is informed that
the early mail from Baltimore to
Shepherdstown will be sent by the
route recently urged by the REGISTER.
So the mail hereafter will come by
the B. & O. to Shenandoah Junction,
arriving there at o'clock in the
morning. If the early morning train
on the n. & w. is a little late, as is
frequently the case, the mail will
come on it. If it is on time, then the
mail will come In on the local train
due here at 1917. BY the old ar
rangement the mail came up from
Baltimore by the Western Maryland
Railroad to Hagerstown, laid there
for about three hours, and reached
Shepherdstown At II o'clock or later.
We will now get it an hour earlier,
and often a couple of hours. Thanks
to the acting postmaster.

Two Remarkable Cures.
From springaeld Homestead.


An old Irish woman's COW was sick unto
death, so she turned to the priest to save
it. 81 can't do anything to keep your COW
FROM dying" he said impatiently.
Gath an begorra it's you that can it
any one can, the answered in simple faith.
Unwilling to have her reverence in him
shaken, the old man vent to her cabin.
The sick COW was brought out into the
yard and propped up, then the priest began
a solemn march around it, chanting mono
tonoasly, "If you die, you die; if you live,
YOU live" When at last the tired priest
sat down, the COW was reviving, and 1t
afterward lived to green old age. Some
years later the priest was at the point OF
death with terrible quinsy, when the old
Irish woman presented herself at the house
and told the doctor she could cure hip
She was laughed to scorn, but at last had
her own way. She insisted upon having
the dying mans bed brought out into the
middle Of the floor, and around 1t she
slowly cantered, singing, ''lf you live, you
live; and if you die, you die" The hunor
of the situation tickled the suffering priest
so that hearty laugh broke the quinsy, and
he also lived-to a green old age.

A Scene from Daily Life.


Two men walking together on the branch
of the sea, happened to spy an oyster.
HAha y said one of them, 'look here, my
friend, what a fine oyster = Both of
them happened to be very fond OF oysters;
but your oyster eaters say an oyster is
spoiled if it is cut, and they bad neither OF
them knife. What was to be done? L
cannot tell what two generous men would
have done in such case, but each of
these men loved an oyster better than his
friend. They both ran to take up the poor
fish: they Knocked their heads against each
other, and were almost going to fight.
"Come, come" said one, ''we will not

would be too foolish The rule is, "He
that sees God-send first, he is the man.
In that case, said the first, "the oyster Is

ond; 81 have as good eyes as my neigh
Dor. A long while before you spoke, L
saw something lying on the beach, and
was almost sure it was an oyster" They
could not settle who saw it first.
They might have drawn lots, or tossed
up half-penny, to see who should have
the oyster. But they we're grave gentle
men, and thought that was too childish a
way to settle an affair of this importance.
As they were in the height of their dis
pute, droll fellow happened to be coming
along the beach, who lived in the same
village. ave will take Tom Smith to be

the story.

Neither of them had knife. In their
great hurry to eat the oyster, they forgot
that they could not open it. Tom had one.

Tom opened the oyster. He looked at
one of the claimants, and then at the other,
and then at the oyster. 1t was fine fat
fellow as ever you saw. Nothing could be
more tempting Tom put it to his mouth,
ard swallowed it in moment He then
with great gravity gave the two disputants
each of them shell. They stared.
"You agreed to go to law for the oys-

people who 90 to law for something they
dispute about, are often obliged TO pay as
much as it is worth in expenses, and at
last yet nothing better than an oyster-shell

Toms wit, and owned that he could not
have decided better He had got fine
oyster, ard they had got lesson at least
as good as an oyster, by the bargain.
