The session of the Teachers In
stitute at the courthouse in this
place last week was very pleasant
one, and we regret that circumstances
prevented our attending as often as we
would have liked. The sessions were
generally opened with prayer by
some of the various ministers of the
town. Superintendent NeeI kept the
Institute well in hand, the attendance
was large, and the exercises very in
teresting. Professor Kimler, Pro-
fessor Harris and Mr.. Chapman gave
interesting talks and lectures. Among
others who entertained the Institute
were Prof. G. W. HeenshelI, prin-
cipal of Shenandoah NormsI School,
at ReIi lance, Va, and Mr.. Cruger
w. Smith, of the Charles Town bar.

the sad intelligence of the death on
that day, at Providence Hospital,
Washington City, of Mr.. John L.
King. The deceased was nephew
of. Mrs. Geo. w. Haines, of this
place, and came on to Charles
Town from his residence at Elkton,
Va, few weeks ago, and went from
here to Providence Hospital to I'M
dergo an operation for a malady
from which he was suffering, and,
blood poison ensuing, resulted in his
death. His remains were brought
here via. the B. & o. and N & w.
Railroads Saturday afternoon, and
inferred in Edge Hill Cemetery, after
funeral services in the Presbyterian
Church, conducted by Rev. DIR. A.
NJ. Cackley, of Martinsburg, assisted
by Rev. DIR. A. G. Hopkins and Rev.
j. w. Tongue. The pail bearers
were Messrs. G. T. Shugert and
Louis DiehI, of this place, and four
of his cousins, Mcssrs, Claude f.
Haines, Harry E. VIM. E. and Charles
b. Swan, who accompanied the re-
mains from Washington City. The
deceased was the eldest son of Gin
ton NJ. and Mary A. King, of
WayneshOro. Va. When but five
years of age he was deprived of one
of his parents, his father falling in
defence of his native State at the
battle of Cross Keys, and from that
time until manhood he was reared

mother and grandmother, to whom he
was greatly indebted, and whose in
huence largely shaped his after life.
He came.to CharlestoWn few years
ago, when but little more than
youth and began the business of tel
egraphy at the n. & w. depot.
Since then he has held various posi-
tons on this railroad, and came here
FIVE years ago a happy bridegroom.
He had been for the past several
years, agent at Elkton, Va, and was
universally belfked by all with whom
he had intercourse. He died in the
thirty-sevcnth year of his age, and
leaves young wife and three small
children to mourn his early demise.
Prominent traits of his character
were tender love and care for
those of his little household and a
touching and rcverent remembrance
of the sainted mother, to whom more
than all others, he owed all he was in
life. He was consistent member of
the n. E. Church South, and his
loved ones have the blessed consola-
ton of tue assurance that he las
crossed over the river and rests I'M

ven of eternal Joy,

even if I were to occupy throne for Is

my shoulder, for in the pioneering that
have done in order to open up a new
world and make way for liberty in the
crude west, so that the poor serf from

home, have had to deny myself the all
refining influences of nobility and steam
heat

aminer of meager attainments become
the arbiter of these great questions and
tell me at glance where belong, when
that power is vested only in omnipo-
tence and omniscience? Shall poor,

ton assume the right to say at a glance
