Aug. 10Th

In Washington Hall, on Tuesday
evening, August 9th, under the au-
spices of lady managers of the Mems
Reading Room, some of Longfellow' 5
Poems will be illustrated; there will
also be reading and music, and the
entertainment will be of a pleasing
character throughout. The object
commends itself-the procurement
of funds to meet current expenses of
the already well, equipped, comfor-
table and welI-lighted room where
there are many excellent books, peri
odicals, papers, etc. The value of
this institution is attested by the
number of men and youths who avail
themselves of the facilities afforded
for pleasant hour or two. Encour-
age the ladies by attending this en-
tertainment. If you caanot go send
somebody.

The Summer School.

From an article in the Pathfinder
on .sSummer School Sound Sense
we take the following:
.sAnd wherever the genuine sum-
mer school springs up there you may
be sure to find feast of the soul in
companionshipmo more
men of affairs, more cul-
tured mothers, more piquant and
wholesome girls, more sturdy and
ambitious boys. There you will miss
the rapid vacuum of mere dull. idle
ness and its degenerating effects
You will taste your outdoor pleasures
with an added dignity and sweetness,
commune with nature with sharpened
senses, clearer vision-come home TO
work really elevated in spirit as well
as robust in body.
'sThat's why there's sound sense
in the summer school. All sounder
il is when such an interesting spot as
Harper's Ferry is chosen to locate.
We would call the attention of such OF
our readers anywhere as may he pre-
pairing for midsummer outing to the
announcement in our advertising de-
partment about the new summer
school at that point. DIR. Gregory s
leadership should be sufficient guar
an ty of the success in this instance
And the attractiveness of the place
is known to the ends of the earth
This is by the way. and with desire

Little for state; w. II. A. Hamilton
for Beard. Walden has two aliases,
Richard Potts and Richard Palmer.
The first two.witnesses were Fran
ces and Lizzie Flanagan, both coll
ored. Both witnesses vigorously
chewed gum during the giving of the
testimony. Frances related the fol-
lowing story: I was at colored
picnic at Island Park. Harper's Fer
ry, last Saturday from BuckeYstown,
Frederick county. About p. m.
Beard approached Walden and said
something about Rose Cooper splitting
on Beard. A quarrel ensued and
Beard commenced shooting at Wall
den; shot three times with a self
cocker. They were about 100 yards
apart. Walden ran away and after
ward shot at Beard, one of the shots
hitting me on the left hip, grazing
the flesh and tearing hole through
my skirts. One shot fred by Beard
hit Walden in the right leg. Another
shot hit VIM. Isaac, whom Beard
thought was Walden, the ball grazing
the back of his neck. DIR. Cannon
dressed my hip. Knew Walden well /;
grew up together from childhood.
Lizzie testified she was standing in
the pavilion and heard the crowd say
there was fight. Saw Walden run
from Beard and heard crowd yell to
Beard, "Pour it into him ~ Beard
jumped behind tree and shot three
times, one ball hitting Walden in the
leg. Walden chased Beard and fired
one shot. Beard returned and shot
again, hitting William Isaac, thinking
he was Walden, who then fired and
shot Frances in the hip. Isaac was
not doing anything.
James Bowans. colored, Adams
town, Frederick county, testified that
Walden was talking with Mamie
Denny. Beard came up with big
club and struck at Walden, who ran
away, followed by Beard, who fired
three shots. Walden returned the
fire when Beard fed to the speakers
stand, where the Sunday school ex-
ercises were being held,
Walden testified that he was stand
ing in the shed and was approached
by Beard who accused him of taking
up the quarrel concerning the splitting
on Beard by a colored girl. Beard
struck at him with club and after
ward brought three other fellows
with him. Beard commenced shoot
ing and one bullet went through Wal
denis leg. Walden returned the
shots with a pistol that was handed
him and accidentally shot Frances,
who ran between them. Walden
gave the pistol to Bessie Harris, aged
nine years.
Beard was committed in 5000 bail
and Walden in 5000 bail.

New Orleans Ladies and Me-
mortal Work.

We learn with great pleasure that the ladies
of New Orleans propose to interest themselves
actively in the work of establishing grand
National Confederate Memorial Association
and that they will endeayor to secure the united
and harmonious action of the women of the
entire South to the same end. This is indeed
presage of success and VIC may now confine
our speculations safely to the time when we
shall have an institution worthy in every re-
spect of the cause whose glorious memories
1t is proposed to perpctuate. History presents
no more striking examples of courage, deyo-
ton and self-sacrifee than were exhibited by
our noble women during the wal. and no record
of ancient or modern times shows such loyalty
as theirs to cause that went down in the
gloom of defeat To their untiring exertions
we are principally indebted for the lofty shafts,
the handsome tablets aud the liberal proyi
sions for Confederate widows and orphans
that attest the loving memory of the South for
those who died in her defense The zeal and
devotion of the glorious women who Inspired
our armies to heroic action have not abated
by time,and the younger generation of oman
hood has been inspired by their example.
We shall watch with interest the progress OF
the work which our ladies have determined
TO undertake Some days since in discussing
the erection of monument to the Louisiana
dead in the Winchester Cyn.) cemetery we
rnetioned the fact that the 'sLldfcs' Memorial
Association had come forward promptly
with liberal subscription. 1t may be safely
assumed that this organization will have prom
inent participation in the important
work above alluded to. Mrs s. P. Blake.
daughter of that Christian gentleman and
distinguished general, Leonidas Polk. is
president, and among her assistants are ths
wives of some of the most brilliant soldiers
that added lustre to the Southern arms. VT
proffer these most excellent ladies any service
that We may be able to render. Our veterans
will esteem it an honor to be permitted to
serve under their command.
