The citizens and firemen's demon

the new system of water works will
occur on Thursday, the 18th, in
which number of visiting fire COM
panics will participate. The process
sion will march 10 the grounds, where
the ceremonies will take place. The
new system will then be formally
turned over to the city authorities,
and the address will be made by Gov.
Holiday, who was the agent of Mr..
&. b. Rouss, of New York, in the
disbursement of that gentleman
munilicient gift of $4,000, which
was nearly three fourtls of the total
cost of the great enterprise. Mr..
Rouss himself will he present, and
will be accompanied by his friend,
MIR. Erastus Wiman, of New
York, an incident in whose career
has lately received much attention in
the public press, On Friday, the

miums of $3.50 offered by the Society.
More than fifty invitations have been

reunion of the "blue and the gray"
and many other features OF special

doubtless make this Fair the most
successful one in its history. The

tested; many we'll known horsemen
have already been heard from.

On the first day of the session all pupils will

certificates. and new pupils will be examined.
No change will be made In any of the grades
for pupils from Charles Town District. or any
of the sub-districts Of Charles Town District.

1t is impossible to estimate the disadvantage
of late entrance and irregular attendance. It
is hoped that parents will cooperate with the
teachers in helping pupils maintain good po-
sition In their grades. Parents are therefore
urged TO remember that success depends upon
prompt entrance and regular attendance. and
also that interruption OF study by absence is
always injurious. Very small pupils will not
be retained six hours per day.

The almost complete destruction
of the dam across the Potomac At the
cement mill near Shepherdstown is
giving the engineers of the Norfolk
and Western railroad some uneasi-
ness. The broken dam makes the
river above it extremely low, and as
consequence tile crib-work of the
piers of the railroad bridge is ex-
posed to tile air. If the timbers
are kept covered by water they will
last almost indefinIteIY,- but If they
are exposed to the air and submerged
alternately they will soon decay, and
the result will he to weaken the
foundations of the piers. The en-
gineers have made two inspections
of the dam recently, aud it is posi-
bile that the railroad company will
find it to its interest to rebuild it,
says the ShvphcrdstoNn Register.
