MeMurran we are enabled to lay before oar readers the following changes in the school laws, made by the recent Legis! lature: STATE BOARD OF KXAMIN'ERS. County certificates are no longer to be issued to teachers, but a State Board of Examiners, consisting of four competent persons, one from each Congressional district, appointed by the State Superintendent of Free Schools, shall hereafter examine teachers and issue certificates of two grades: First-class twelve years and second class for six years. All certificates issued by this Board shall be countersigned by the State Superintendent and shall be equiv" alent to a number one county certificate and shall be valid in any county and school district in the State, unless revoked by the State Board for good cause. The requirements and conditions for a first-class (twelve-year certificate) are not given in the law as published, but the second-class (six -year certificates) arc to be issued to applicants of satisfactory attainments in the branches required now for county certificates and, in addition, not fewer than four other branches to be determined upon by the Board. The second-class certificates shall be issued upon application, without an examination, to the graduates of the State Normal School and its Branches and of the State University.

When such graduates shall present to the Board satisfactory evidence that they have taught successfully three years in the State under a number one county certificate, two of said three years immediately preceding the application for such certificate. Teachers who shall present to the Board satisfactory evidence that they have taught successfully four years out of six on a second-class certificate, shall be entitled te receive, without an examination, a first-class certificate at the expiration of their second-class certificate. Teachers holding a first-class certificate, i who shall have taught eight years out of the twelve years, shall be entitled to have the same renewed, without an examination, at the expiration of the twelve years. Each applicant for a certificate shall I pay to the Board of Examiners a fee of five dollars, but the law omits to say whether, or nor, the same fee has to he paid tor each renewal. The Board shall meet at, at least, two different places, in each Congressional district, in each year, for the purpose of examining applicants and granting certificates.

The law does not say whether the teachers that now hold "four-year county certificates" shall be permitted to teach in their respective counties until the time ot said certificates shall expire, but. justice to the holders would require that this privilege be granted to them. normal schools. The only changes made in reference to Normal Schools are the following: 1st, The Stale Superintendent shall, if possible, every year, make arrangements with some suitable institution of learning in this State, for the education and normal school tiaining ot a number of colored teachers, in the proportion that the colored population of the State bear to the whit" as shown by the ratio of the non-paying whito students in the normal schools to the white pop ulation of the State. The amount paid for each district shall not exceed the amount allowed for each non-paying white student.

2d, So much money as may be necessarv to pay the amount directed to be paid annually to the normal schools is hereby appropriated and made payable from year to year ir. the manner prescribed in the Ninety-sixth Section, but if any normal school does not earn the amount of two thousand and two hundred dollars by the method therein forth, the residue thereof shall be used for the employment of teachers in said schools as directed by the Board of Regents. A lice Fortune. It is reported that Messrs. Conrad M.

mid Michad M. Pope, living in Long district, of this county, wlio are industrious day laborers at plastering and constructors of cisterns, are about to come into possession of about $75,000 each, through the expiration of a lease of property in New York made by iheanoestor of thir wives having married sisters. The property, which has since become very valuable, was leased to the founder of the present wealthy Vauderbilt family by Capt. Mercer, who sailed the seas, and was the grandfather of the wives of the brothers Pope. This is a nice fortune for each of them, and they are to be congratulated for Laving their declining years smoothed with the ease this mi in will insure to them.

We are informed that $10,000 of this monev has already been Clarke Courier Honor to Former Hoy. We leant that Julian L. Latimer, son of Thos. YVilmer Latimer, Circuit Clerk of this county, acquitted himself with great credit at his late examination in the U. Naval Academy.

One of the interesting features of the past week is announced in the marriage of Miss May Murphy, daughter of Mr. Thomas Murphy, of O'Bannon, and sister of Mrs. J. F. Welshans, of this place, to Mr.

Robert C. Richardson, the popular young merchant of Churchville, Md. The groom was accompanied to Kentucky by his business partner and unrle, Mr. John G. Rouse, of Belair, and also Mr.

B. Rouse, of Baltimore. The ceremony took place at high noon, a plain gold band being used the biide was dressed handsomely in a heavily corded heliotrope silk, wearing the natural orange blossoms which had been shipped from Florida under the supervision of Mr. Walter B. Murphy, for the occasion, and carried an exquisite bouquet.

The house was handsomely decorated with Marshalneil roses and other choice cut flowers, and after the ceremony a reception took place in which relations and friends participated. The party left on the 2.25 p. m. train for the East. They were received by Mr.

and Mrs. W. C. Rouse on Thursday evening and on Friday continued their bridal trip. A great many friends wish theyi a long and happy future, and none more sincerely than the old friends Miss May has left behind in Shepherdstown.

The happy couple were very beautifully and substantially remembered in a handsome collection of among them some rare pictures. The gilt of the groom was a handsome diamond brooch and a heavily chased ring quaintly with nooustones. Nudden Last Sutidav night iss Mary Hunter, an aged resident of Shepherdstown, was suddenly taken ill, and before a physician could arrive she had died. The deceased was a sister of Capt. J.

II. L. Hunter of this county, and was 73 years of age. On Wednesday the community was greatly shocked by theannouocementof the death of Mrs. Funk, the young wife of Mr.

John J. Funk. Mrs. Funk had been assisting in the funeral preparations of Miss Mary Hunter, and about eleven o'clock returned to her home apparently as well as she ever was. When she arrived at her residence she spoke to several other persons in (lie Iionse, and then went to her room.

In a few moments a heavy fall was heard and upon an investigation being made Mrs. Funk was found to belying lifeless on the floor. Dr. Marshall was hastily summoned, but as lie arrived li unfortunate lady breathed her last, without having recovered consciousness. It could scarcely be realized by her friends that she who had been seen on the street a half hour before was now cold in death.

To Hie bereaved husband is extended the sympathy of the entire community. Mrs. Funk was formerly Miss Davis, of Cavetown, Washington couu- ty, and her remains were taken to that place for interment. Pergonal. Dr.

Washington, D. March 21. 1887. Messrs. Editors.

Thinking a letter froui Washington might interest your readers I take the liberty of jotting down few matters which may be of some interest to your many readers, for wherever I meet a West Virginian, especially from your end of State, they are anxious to see the Registkr, and one gentleman in the Treasury Department told me the other day that so many people borrowed his paper that it was actually worn out before lie got a chance to read it. I notice a correspondent in the Charlestown Spirit from your town last week bemoans himself for fear Mr. Camden's friends may try and get the Republican support. In thts connection it may be of interest to know that the pure and shining light of Democracy, Mr. James M.

Mason, was in town last week. ou will remember that Mr. B. F. Leisenring, who was tne Republican postmaster at Charlestown, is now engaged in business here.

Well, Mr. Mason wanted to make a dicker by which the Republicans would support Chew and Lucas and the other political eunuchs in their dishonorable attempt to down the Democratic party. Mr. Mason held out. all kinds ot promises to Mr.

Leisenring, but to no purpose, for he knew quite well that traitors who sell out their own party would sell out anybody else. By the way, a very interesting piece of news is floating around Washington to the effect that Mr. Mason and his coconspirators on the debt question came near getting a favorable consideration of their scheme to pay fifteen million dollars of the debt of Old Virginia, which has been set aside as the share of West Virginia. The Committee on Finance was ready to report favorably on the question, but fioiu some cause or other failed to do so, probably for lear of the effect it would have on Mr. Lucas's chances of carrying Jefferson county in the special election.

If you will notice how ol ten Mr. Lucas and Henry S. Walker are in Richmond of late you will see there is more than gossip in this question. Speaking of that same Henry S. Walker, he will stump Jefferson county in favor of the anti-caucus campaign, and as he will cost the tax-payers of the State ten dollars a day, for that is his salary as Secretary of State, he will no doubt make some good speeches.

There is no doubt that lie knows all about kicking, for he has kicked himselt into the Republican party, into the Greenback party, and into every other party that tias ever been formed to down tne Democratic party. Sad to sav he has never been elected to hold office by any of them. I also understand that James Butt, the Harper's Ferry prophet, will stump your county, lie is an anti-caucus Democrat for this campaign only. Every true Democrat is looking to i Jefferson county to nominate a good, tried, and faithful Democrat, who thinks the party is greater than the man, and oiue for all time to down the men who every time they are beaten, and we want to see them sat down on so hard this time that they will never be able to show tlteir heads again. Caucus.

JiliilfN Jl. A correspondent of I lie heeling Register of Friday last gives the following bit of history, which will doubtless prove interesting at this time: "To the Editor of the Wheeling Regis' ter. Mr. James M. Mason in the last issue of his paper, with an evident relish, refers to the conference which was held in the Supreme Court-room at Wheeling during the State Convention in the summer of 1884.

As that gentleman has now assumed the role of an apostle of pure methods in politics, I beg to call his attention to a little conversation be. tween us immediately after the adjourn- ment of the conference referred to, which lie will recall. I was a delegate to that convention, and went there in support of the gubernatorial candicaey ot Mr. Van Meter, of Hardy county. On the day before the convention was to meet, 1 was invited by Captain Mathews, of Greenbrier, to go down to the Capitol ton little meeting of anti-Faulkner delegates.

I remained throughout the session of the conference and after its adjournment. Mr. Mason was brought, and after being introduced by a mutual friend, said: 'Mr. this conference has proven that we need twenty-live votes to defeat Faulkner; your county has about eighty delegates here, and I want you to give me the names of all the Faulkner men whom I can reach with money. I have got the money to beat Camden's man, Faulkner, and must do it.

if takes all the money in the First National Bank of New Mason will remember this conversation and cannot deny it. Since he has become 'political reformer' and now deprecates the useof money in politics, I thought it might be well to remind him of this little incident. Ohio River." The President has appointed the following interstate Commissioners: Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, lor the term of six years; William R.
