were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a unanimous vote of
thanks be extended Honorable Charles

the part OF Mr.. Rouss, for the broken wheel
and fireman's helmet of carnations, (emble-
matte floral tributes, suggesting active fire
man service in days long gone. as well as a
broken family of loved ones, some of whom
have gone to their long rest,) which the
Company placed on his lot in Mt Hebron
Cemetery, at Winchester, on the sixth of
June last This we did out of appreciation
for the many acts of kindness which Mr..
Rouss, as a brother fireman. has continually
bestowed upon us and similar institutions,
and out of sympathy for his many benave-
ments.
Resolved, also. That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to MIR. Rouss and spread
upon the minutes of the Company.

Teachers Institute

As several of the larger towns in the
county are quarantined, the Teachers
Institute for Jefferson county will be held
at Shepherdstown, instead of Charles
Town, commencing July Esd. The
teachers of Charles Town, both white
and colored, are excused from institute
attendance and are requested by the
State and county superintendent not to
attend. The first stated examination
will be held at Shephertlstown and the
second at Charles Town the week follow
ing the institute. Jesse A. ENGLE,
County Superintendent
The above card appeared in the Shep-
herdstown Register of last Thursday.
and it is hardly necessary to say that the
people of Charles Town were much in
censed thereat-theclr circumstance in their
estimation not warranting such action
and publication-tllere being at that time
no quarantine by or against any town in
the county. County Superintendent En-
gle, hearing of this feeling. came in Sat
urday, and after consultation with the
health officials and others, handed us the
following for publication
Notice.
Owing to the fact that the place for
holding the Teachers Institute for Jeffer-
son County has been changed to Shep-
herdstown. we do not now deem it pru-
dent, as the time for holding the Insti-
tue is so near. to make another change.
Otherwise I would not hesitate to con-
vene the Institute at Charles Town. as,
after personal visit there and converse
ton witt physicians and other citizens, 1
am convinced that there is no reason why
free communication with Charles Town
should not exist. JESSE a. EsGLE.
