Home Again.

Home Again.
Our friend James Lawrence McChan
has returned from the United States
army to his home in Shepherdstown.
He got his discharge on account OF
physical illness at Camp Meade last
Saturday afternoon, and at midnight
he was once more in his. snug bed at
home, weak in body and subdued IN
spirit, but the. gladdest boy in town.
His military service extended from the
Cd of June to the 18th Of September
in Company B, First Regiment Mary
land Volunteers. Nearly all this time
was spent in the hospital, he having
been chronic sufferer from cramps.
He was at Fortress Monroe until a
couple of weeks ago, when his regiment
was moved to Camp Mea lie, near Har-
risburg, Pa, His life was not a happy
one. Hard tack and fat bacon did not
agree with his digestion, nor were the
restraints and discipline Of the army
oongenial to his free spirit. He says
he wouldn't 60 into the army again
for $500 a month. The hardships
even in peaceful camp are numerous
and trying, but the GROWING act OF
tyrannical injustice, he says, was to see
wagon-load after wagon-lOad Of pie
nice custards, luscious apple pies and
pies of every toothsOme variety-in
the road just outside the camp limits
and the soldiers not allowed to go out
and buy, even though they had pockets
full of good money. We agree that
this was truly hard. Lawrence says
that nine out Of ten of the soldiers are
sick of the service and would give
anything to be home again. Those
who want to stay in are the officer:
who get big pay and the hObOes who
have no home to go to. He speaks il
loving terms of Captain Fisher, Major
Little and Col. Lane. 1t may be SUI
perAuous to add that Lawrence vii
stick close to home for some time tc
come.
P. S.-Lawrence has raised very
respectablepustache.

The West Virginia Soldiers.

Tuesday morning the Second West
Virginia Regiment, Colonel Casteel
commanding, started on It's march TO
Gettysburg, where it will participate
next Wednesday in the exercises con-
nected with the unwilling of the West
Virginia monuments. The regiment
is accompanied by-a wagon train of
twenty-nine wagons, containing tents,
rations, etc. The men stood the. first
half-day's march well, only one man
being sent back to camp sick. Several
were transferred to ambulances on the
march, but they were only slightly Ill.
The first nights camp was at Mechan-
icsburs. The West Virginia boys were
enthusiastically greeted when they
reached fredericksburg. 1t seemed as
if the entire populace had turned out
to welcome the first regiment OF vol
unteer infantry passing through that
town since the close Of the civil war.
Today they reach Boiling Springs,
where they will remain until Satur-
day.
In Company X, Second West Vir-
GINA, which was recruited from Min
zoe county, there are no less than
twenty Hatfelds, celebrated for their
long-standing and deadly feud with
the McCoys, and they have been
dubbed Hatfield Rangers Corporal
Hatfield has six deaths to his credit.
He does not like to talk about the
Hatfield. Mccoy fsud, and says he only
did his duty. He is proud of the Hat
field family, and says they will not be
the means of starting any fresh trou-
bic in their section.
Some of the sick of the Second West
Virginia are missing, and the officers
of the regiment have as yet been una
bic to locate them. In the case Of
Private Messenger, who died several
weeks ago, the officers have no official
knowledge OF his death and are still
carrying him on the books as sick.
Private Hudnall, of Company G, Of
Charleston, went insane about ten
DAYS ago and is now at his home, but
the officers of the regiment have not
been informed of the fact Many OF
the men are away on sick leave, but
a great many are also absent on French
leave, as the most of them are hearth
ly sick of army life.

The Shepherd College Library.

The Shepherd College library has
been enriched by the addition of some
two hundred and twenty-five volumes,
which arrived last week. These books
cover a wide range, representing al
most every field of literature, and were
carefully selected to supplement the
excellent library already in the posses
sion of the school, with a view to sup
plying the most urgent needs in all
departments. The wants of the classes
in psychology and pedagogy were re-
membered, as about thirty-fve vol
umes containing the best ancient and
modern thought on these subjects testi-
fly. The important questions OF eco
Monies and finance are thoroughly
treated. Our boys and girls are to be
trained for good citizenship, and sure
ly one essential of good citizenship is
a knowledge of the fundamental prin-
ciples which control economic condi-
tons. Opportunity for the acquisition
Of such knowledge is not lacking when
the works of Adam Smith, Wake,
Fiske and Henry George are within
the reach of every student.
1t is well known to all teachers that
an illustration makes a more lasting
impression upon the average mind
than a rule. This knowledge led to
the selection Of half dozen volumes
containing extracts from the best ut
terances of our best American orators,
in order that ambitious orators and
debaters might have as their models
recognized masters Of their art.
The fact that Edmund Clarence
Stedman is one of the editors Of the
Cyclopaedia of American Literature
is a sufficient guaranty Of its worth.
His "Victorian Poets" and Poets Of
America" may serve as guides for some
Of our aspirants for literary honors.
Some one has said that it is an alb
solute crime to teach children to read,
without at the same time intoxicating
love for good literature. A set of
Louisa Alcotts works, together with
sundry odd volumes, such as Twelve
Naval Captains, 1.-The Century Book
of Famous Americans" and Our
Wild Neighbors," cannot fail to go
long way toward establishing such a
love. Then in the volumes Of Haw-
thorne and Holmes, Helen Hunt Jack
son, Lew Wallace and Victor Hugo;
this literary taste may find further
stimulus, taking as a wholesome bal
ance for the fiction the fascinating his
tories of Parkman, and the graver
volumes of Hume and Gibbon, with
spice from time to time of Irving and
De Quincy. But why particularize !?
From the substantial works on Greek
and Roman life and literature, to the
dainty bits Of verse by Emily Dickin-
son and Robert Louis Stevenson, all
is fascinating.
The influence which these books, if
properly used, may have upon this
community is incalculable. Not only
the students, but their brothers and
sisters, fathers and mothers, may read
them. If there were no other advan-
tages to be considered, the possession
of this library is strong reason for
the parents of this vicinity to send
their sons and daughters to Shepherd
College.

Falling Of Leaves and Fruit.

The falling Of leaf Is brought about
by the formation Of a thin layer of veg
etable tissue ut the point where the leaf
stem joins the branch of the tree. After
the leaf ceases to make starch and su.
gar for the tree, this tissue begins to
grow, and actually cuts the leaf. The
falling of ripe fruit Is dependent upon
the same process.
