A careful examination Of the above
will show the Indifference of some COM
munities in regard to school matters.
The total enumeration Of children be-
tween 6 and l6 years Of age Is 633.
Of this number $40, or 80 per cent,
are enrolled in the several schools, and
ga, or little more than IA per cent,
90 to other schools, and 81, or little
more than l2l per cent, go nowhere,
and this, too, of children between 6
and l6 years Of age. The enumera-
ton between Is and q years Of age is
$50, and the enrolment is s, or 3!
per cent, in the several schools, and
81, or little more than % per cent,
going to other schools, and 1863, or 734
per cent, not going to school. There
is a reasonable explanation of the
small attendance of those between
these ages, as many of them are mar
ried and but few attend primary
schools after they reach sixteen. The
average daily attendance of those be-
tween 6 and l6 was 343, or a little
over "a per cent of the enumeration
and 65 per cent of the enrolment.
VIII the patrons of the public
schools please examine this report, to
see what the children have lost?

The word was passed back to the es-

whom had formerly known in the Val

was unchanged. except that his beard
was heavier, his eye more twinkling,

shouted:

stand. He laid back on his horse, and
uttered ''haw, haw!" which exploded

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh TO
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall

HE CAPTURES A PRISONER.

One morning went to see Stuart, who
held the front with his cavalry toward
Martinsburg, and found him lying, as
usual. on his red blanket, under "A tree,
waiting for the enemy.
He was listening to a report from our
friend Corporal Hagan, who, with "a
beard longer. mustache shaggier. and Il
voice more closely resembling thunder
than before, gave the particulars of the
capture of two or three prisoners he had
Just brought in.
I'VE charged EN-. Colonel, continued

When Hagan laughed, the ground
seemed to shake. His merriment was
Olympian, and partook of the earth

Il got his weep-on, Colonel, contin-

RecoIlections of Major Hagan.

The death of Major Henry Hagan,
the Confederate veteran, in Shepherds
town last week, recalls incidents in his
military career. The following is TAX
en- from "Surry of Eagles Nest, the
novel written by John Esten Cooke:
Stuart was instructing. one after an
other, the sergeants and corporals COM
handing squads, when there came up,
in his turn, huge, black bearded giant,
with voice like the rumble of distant
thunder, and the assured air of an old
acquaintance of the young Colonel.
This is Corporal Hagan. one of my
very best soldiers, Captain" said Stuart.
saluted the tall corporal; and, ex-
claiming deferentially Captain Ha-
gan made me rigidly military salute
in return-two fingers to the cap, body
erect, eyes front
"Hagan," said Stuart, you must
make your squad pay particular atten-
ton to what have explained.
Yes. Colonel" came in tones of low
thunder from the heavy beard.
Il will hold you responsible"
Il intend to be. Colonel"
You are an old soldier, Hagan, and
know what is expected of a good picket. y
II think | do, Colonel-to keep one
eve skinned for snakes and the other for
bees"
And the giant looked as grave as if he
had never smiled in his life.
Stuart uttered laugh, and said:
What do you mean by that, Hagan?'
The tall corporal assumed an air of
the deepest solemnity, and, advancing
a step, inclined his head to one side,
and put two fingers Of his right hand in
the PAIN of his left, with the manner of
a man about to explain some great prob
lem. Then. with unmoved solemnity,
but twinkle of the eye and slight
movement of the mustache which indi-
Gated lurking fun, Hagan Numbered, in
low tones:
We'll, you see, Colonel, you never
know which way the inimy will come.
Maybe out of the ground, and Hagan
pointed to his feet, maybe down
through the air. >" and the giant pointed,
like great orator, toward the sky.
Now, there's only one way to sarcum-
vent 'em. Colonel. You must keep one
eve skinned for snakes-that is, down
on the ground: and the other skinned
for bees-that is, up in the air. You
are then bound to know when the inimy
is coming, and you can give the alarm"
This grave explanation highly tickled
Stuart, who slapped the big corporal on
the back in a manner which evidently
delighted that worthy. Hagan ordered
his squad to fall in, in voice OF thun-
der. made his former salute with even
deeper solemnity, and then command
ing Forward" disappeared like NOV
ing mountain.
