Barns Burned.

During the storm that passed over
this section Tuesday night, and which
was accompanied by such a brilliant
electrical display, lightning struck the
fine large barn of John Felker, a mile
or two north of Martinsburg, and
caused its total destruction by the
fire that ensued. The burning build
ing made a vast illumination, that
was seen for many miles around, and
attracted the attention Of many per-
sons in Shepherdstown. Two calves
were burned to death, and Mr.. Eel
ker also lost his hay crop, 100 bush
els Of wheat, implements, harness, etc.
The barn was an unusually fine one,
comparatively new, and the total lose
is placed at $4,000. He had insur-
ance almost enough to cover the loss.
During the same storm lightning
struck and set fire to a small barn on
the farm of Mrs. Benton Tabler, near
Sprirkle's Mil. 1t was destroyed
with its contents.

ounce of demonstration is worth many
pounds of telling. Teaching consists
very largely in giving the child the
conditions of learning. The largest
duty-the chief duty-of the teacher
is to teach the pupils how to study.
Many so,called good teachers do moth
ing more than put down the thumb
screws on their pupils. Such teachers
bring so great pressure to bear upon
their pupils that they will spend many
weary hours III doing what, with prop
er teaching, might be done in shorter
time and with less energy"
