Prof. Chas. J. Miller has our thanks
for copy of the annual catalogue of
Shepherd College, just out. 1t shows
an enrolment the past school year of
lO2. The catalogue, like most of the
work of our State printer, is wretch
ed botch. There are no less than four
offensive photographed errors on the
title page, and this proportion is pref
ty well sustained throughout the book.
The State ought not to pay for such
work.
Mr.. William Miller and Miss Fam
ny Walter, of Fauquier county, Va,
were married at the Carter House in
this place early yesterday morning.

in appearance, were runaway couple,

neighborhood of Warrenton, Va, elud-
ing pursuit. They We're very anxious
to have the nuptial knot tied quickly,

President Nicholson of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio canal is reported as
having spoken Of a scheme by which
it is proposed to build boats at Cum
berland that would carry coal not
only to Georgetown, D. c., but to
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York
ports. In order to consummate this
the boats will be changed. Instead
of having fat bottom and fiat matches
like the present canal boat, the bot
toms will be round and the matches
arch shaped, like the lake boats.
Chairman John NJ. Daniel, of the
county executive committee, asks us
to say that no persons name can &C
on the ticket to be voted for next No,
vember, under the head of Democratic
ticket, unless that person has been
nominated by the Democratic party
and the nomination certified to the
clerk of the circuit court, whose duty
it is to make up the ticket for the No
vember election. 1t is not absolutely
necessary that a candidate name shall
be printed on the primary election
ticket-if he can get his friends tc
write it it Will do just as well-but he
must be nominated and the nomina
ton certified to the clerk of the cour
before his name can be placed on thu
regular ticket in November.
