Confederate Memorial.

Saturday last was Confederate Memorial
Day in Charles Town, and in spite Of the
inclement weather there was a great crowd
in town. Necessarily some changes were
made iu theprogram. Instead Of at Edge Hill
Cemetery the memorial exercises took place
in the Courthouse. Rev. DR.. A. c. Hop
kins, President of Lee Memorial Association
and Commander of John w. Rowan Camp
of Confederate Veterans, presided. After
singing by the choir, under the direction Of
Madame Ruhl, accompanied by the Charles
Town Cornet Band, prayer was offered by
Rev. j. p. stump. DR.. Hopkins then in
troduced Rev. Henry NJ. White, of Win
chester. who made an interesting and very
instructive address Stalking as his theme the
character of General Robert Z. Lee as a boy,
a soldier. a citizen and a Christian. An in
cideut related, not known to many present,
that created most enthusiasm, was that OF
DR.. Hopkins, the uuarmed Chaplain Of the
2nd Regiment, Stouewall Brigade, slouch
hat in band, r%sllyiug a somewhat surprised
division ST the battle of Mine Run-the re
suit Of which was a victory and the enforc-
ed retirement Of General Meade's forces to
the north side of the Rapidan. The address
was & choice bit Of history, not found in
books. invaluable to the hundreds of young
people who were attentive listeners. After
the benedic,ion by Rev. 5. w. Cole, the
procession, composed Of the Citizens and
independent Fire Companies commanded
respectively by Captains j.. w. Russell and
&c. Holmes, and a military company Of
small boys commanded by Kelly Beller
headed by the Charles Town Cornet Band
and marshaled by W. s. Merchant, hand
somely mounted, repaired to the NJ. E. snc
p. f. churchyards, thence to Edge Hill
Cemetery, where the graves Of the dead he
rocs were decorated with flowers.
At the Court house q collection was take'
M. and a fund secured, the nucleus OF

Judge Faulkner is unquestionably an ex-
cellent Judge, courteous and decisive, with
fue executive ability, he pushes the bust
ness of the court. and by expedition saves
the county many dollars in jury fees and
from other s~tandpoints, where the maxim
time is money" applies. There is yet a
saving, however, which would be very con-
siderable, that has never been inaugurated,
and that is an official court stenOgrapher to
take down the testimony of Witnesses
More time is often wasted at one term OF
the court than would pay two st~enographers,
By counsel having to stop and jot down the
testimony in important cases. A stenog'
rapher for the circuit, paid a per diem for
actual time engaged would save the counties
of the circuit mOney.-Adrocate.

''rhe commencement exercises and enter

prevented the rendition Of a selection from

very pleasantly, with the exception of want
of room in the auditorium, the audience
immensely pleased, and the school &C
quilted itself with credit to Prof. Denny and
