A Good Move.
We heartily agree wi'.h our correspon
dent in another column in urging on the
contemplated move by the Sons of Tem
perance of this place. The tmpoitance ol
a Public Library in Shrpherdstou n, to
which all classes might have across, and
?especiall) the youth of the town, has of
ten been under consideration, hut nothing
done from the fact that a few individuals
have been wanting to lead off in the mat
ter. Jij>t ? tart tlitf enterprise and we feel
confident that its friends would prove nu
merous. Erect an edifice easy (if access,
and procure a Library of useful books,
and we will hazard the assertion that there
are but few young men and youth in this
community who would not at once be
come interested in so laudable an under
inking. It is a matter too in which pa
rents should be particularly interested, for
their sons, instead of loitering away their
leisure hours in bar-rooms aud stores,
might be induced to pass that time in rea
ding some useful book ? they would at
least have the encouragement to do so ?
and in place of becoming loaiers, addicted
t* s 11 manner of evil habits and pnctices,
might thereby become intelligent and use
ful members of society. Out town, with
out these places of intellectual resort, is
an exception, when compared with our
ntighbetring towns, in which reading
rooms and debating societies have re
cently beeu brought i.ito requisition, and
are producing a telling effect in the im
provement the rising generation. If;
tk? young h*ve not the iacilities to re
quire a relish for useful reading they can
not be expected to have a thirst for know
ledge as they advance in life.
Harper's Ferry Armory.
A correspondent of the "Spirit of Jef
ferson" states that the efficiency of the
Harper's Ferry Armory is without paral
lel ; the manufacture of the Model Kifle1
Musket commenced in October ; 730 was !
the result ?< its operations ; the month
following 900 were manufactured; and in
December 1000 ; making a total of 2030 1
Muskets, surpassing in the perfection of
their structure, any and every other arm
ever made at tins Armory. The Board
of Investigation, after a rigid examination
and test, pronounced the results of their
?various investigations into the merits of
the present arm as "highly graiifying."
The Machine Department is said to be
verv complete. There are upwards of
300 operatives in the Armory, exclusive
of the officers. The cost of each Rifle!
Musket, with the rear sight, is $13,04,
and the lear sight having been suspended
in its manufacture, and an order not to
place them upon the muskets in future,
reduces the cost to $12,07.

For the Register.
Mr. Editor. ? Your readers need not be
informed of the profound sensibility a
mong thelaiger portion of our citizens to
the alarming evils of drinking whether
moderate (>o called) or immoderate. This
sensibility ha^ spread to other parts of the
county and to neighboring counties. Ii
ii a remarkable fact that arguments equal
ly strong and as well presented in former
years have produced no such impressions.
There has ue*er been in this community
anything like the present feeling. It has
taken hold of a class of persons who have
hitherto been insensible 6f the best direc
ted efforts, to convince them of the evil
of drink'ng at all. Never has there been
! so general a conviction that he who holds
lout a temptation to tl is vice or in any
! way promotes it is a public enemy. Nev
er were so many who have not signed the
j pledge known to be seriously debating the
question whether this is not their time to
achieve the victory over an enemy re
morseless and cruel as Nenna Sahib,
whose heart of iron the cries of women
and children could not move to pity.
Never was there a time when so many
drunkards w ere seen clinging to the rocks
and bushes which overhang the stream
flown which they are rushing, to save
themselves from the cataract below. But
their strength will not enable them to
hang there iong, unless the fountains can
be dried up.
Never was there a time here when so
many young men? whoa* barques in life!
are just nearing the places where the wa
iters begin to curb and the current becomes j
heedless of the oar ? were convinced of
their danger and yet the only safe course!
for them was at all hazards to make the |
nearest 'and, resolved to trust the treach
erous stream no more, keeping at a safe
I distance from the tempters heaving above)
the banks who exact tribute from their
distressed victims and then push them ofl
'from the shote to fall into similar hands!
further down.
But we must not forget the contrast be- 1
tween the storm of the temperance meet
ing and the calm which ensues, nor how
difficult it is to execute in the stillness of
every day life those convictions and reso
lutions which have been formed amid the!
flashings of debate. The struggle comes
on when the devil return* and begins to
look into the windows of the house from j
which he had been driven out. The par- j
oxisms of appetite will return like the ra
venous demands of famine. And this ^
shows the need of the continued and en-'
ergrtic use of mean.*. No reformation j
can I e stationary until they are complete. I
They must be progressive or they will
be retrogressive. The Sons of Temper
ance open the surest school of persever
ance. It is said that the Order contem
plates the erection of a new Hall in this
town, with a lower story for lectures not
only upon temperance but other subjects
f r the instiuction and entertainment of
our citizens, and an tippet story for a li- .
brary and reading room. We rejoice to
hear this and trust the work will be begun ;
immediately. Surely the citizens will
contribute generally and most gladly for;
such a public benefit. With the property
whHi they already have in possession, j
enough we believe might be raised in a
week to put the work under contract. A
healthful influence would go forth from
such an institution of incalculable good to
the rising generation of this town. No
where are there youths of finer natural
promise, yet it has become a common ,
! saying that in order to prosper they must
?o elsew here. But why is this* but be
cause for their leisure time no other means ,
of improvement have been supplied them
than the literature of store boxes and grog
; shops.
Should the Sons of Temperance com
plete this institution they will raise a
monument to their honor and become the
j permanent benefactors of the town.
The Royal Marriage in London.
The English papers are filled with ac
counts uf ihe marriage of the Princess1
Royal with Prin(re Frederick William of
Prussia, which took place in the Chapel
Royal of S\ Janus' Patace on Monday
morning, Jan. 25ih. The account in I ie
Times liils sixteen columns. London
was filled with royal guests, chiefly from
the German court*. Among them we*?
the Kmg of the Belgians, the Z)uke and'
Duchess of Brabant, the Prince and Prin
cess of Prussia, (pareBts of the bride-1
sroom.) ihe Duke and DoHiess of Saxe
Oohurg, the CJount of Flanders and many
otber*.
The ceremony of marriage was per
formed by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
s$fisi?*l bv the Bishops of London, Ox
ford and Chester, the Dean of Windsor
3nd the Sub-D^an of the Chapel Royal.
There were three processions, the
Queer's the briiUg mom's and the bride's.
The latter was supported by her father.
The cerem ?nirs wis ?>f the most impo
sing character. Before the service a cbo
rail, written for ihe occasion, was sun ? by
i the boys, of Si. Paul's and Westminster
Abbey choirs. At tho conclusion, Han
del's llallujah Churns was sung; as the
procession of the bride an<) bridegroom
left the Chapel, Mendlessohn's Wedding
j March was played. Immense and en
Ithuaiasrtic crowds thronged the streets of
London on the occasion. In the evening
jthe Queen gave a grand concert in Buck
ingham palace.
I There were illuminations and various
| festivities in London and throughout the
kingdom,
| The bride and bridegroom were to leave
I in a day or two for Berlin, where a grand
i reception was pre j ared for them.
The fullest particulars of the appear
ance of ihe royal couple, are published.
The bride, who had f.een very composed,
gave way and threw herself in her moth
er's arms, in a burst of emotion, after the
ceremonies wpre ended.
The young couple immediately went
to Windsor. They were drawn by the
Eton boys, amid great cheering.
The biidal costume of the Princess
Royal was of rich white moire antique ;
| the lace dress of exquisite Iloniton gui
pure, consisting of three flounces, the
body being trimmed to match. The veil
was of Honiton guipure lace, worn in a1
l style completely novel in England for
bridal costumes, attached to the head with]
| magnificent Moorish and Spanish pins.
The dress and veil ? ere splendidly work
ed ? the emblems keing the rose, thistle'
and shamrock. The latter has employed
lifty girls for the last twelve months.;
This new style of veil was entirely !ier|
(Majesty's suggestion, and the carrying j
out of the idea met the approbation ol the
Queen. The cost of this production was!
about ?GOO.
The Princess Royal's wedding bonnet,
[which she had on upon leaving the Buck
ingham pabce for YVindsor, was of white
tulle, trimmed with lace and bunches of
orange blossoms outside, with lace quilt
ing inside, and white silk ribanJs. The
size is not very diminutive.
The costume which Her Majesty dres
sed in at the marriage was of peach moire
antique , with Uoniton lace flounces and
peach-velvet train, the lace flounces be
ing the same which the Queen wore at '
her own wedding.
At the wedding some of the highest
families in the empire were represented
in the persons of the young ladies who
had the honor of officiating as brides
maids.
The floor ?#f St. James' chapel was
covered with a scarlet carpel, and was
entirely appropriated to the royal cortege,
the nlustiious visitors and their suites.
The altar was of crimson velvet, on
which was the royal communion st'rtiee
of gold plate. There was a low rail of
oak round the altar, the surporters of
which were ol gold, tke whole <>( the top
being covered with crimson velvet.
Seveial autograph letters were written
by the Princess Royal to her friends,
among the nobility of her own sex, taking
a graceful affectionate farewell of them.

For th; Rfgisltr.
M r. Editor. ? Agitation is necessary to :
the vitality of any important subject. Stop
the religious press and silence the pulpit
and religion dies, and so it is with 7W/J
ueratice. Let the consideration of this;
subject alone, and the interest of its '
friends flags. We have ju?t been giving
new motive power to the rolling ball by 1
the establishment of a Sunday School
Temper an ce Society, tn the M. E. |
Uhurch, a etep which we sincerely trust
will be followed by every Sabbath School
in this vicinity.
The heart of a child is like a rough
block lying before the sculptor. It may
be made to refie?t undying beauty or may
be marred and defaced to win no more
admiration. The influences brought to
bear upon it in early life will mould in a
great degree its future destiny. Let child
hood be girdled with religious influences
and in alter years religion will crown the
character of the man. The future rart er
of the child is shaped by the precepts re
ceived in early life, and the impressions
made by the ex mples placed before it.
The principle of imitation is most tho
roughly exhibited in cnildhood. As is
the parent, so is tre ci no, may be
laid down as an almost universal inle.
Let temper:vice principles be early im
planted in the k?arts of children, and the
probability is that they wi I grow up pil
lar's in flie temple of that cause which has
(or its foundation, "Love, Purity and
Fidelity The Society was organized
on Sabbath afternoon last in the Sunday
School and about GO signatures were ap
pended to tke pledge. The following
persons were elected officers, t# sei?e six

What the Farmerssay:
A late writer *ays that the "various species of
vermin are multiplying at a fearful rate through
out the land. Their ravage* have become a mat
ter of serious dread. A Postmaster of illino'*,
writing to 'CostarV Depot says, "The country
ia literally overrun with them, rat*, mire, ^c."
Another, from Ibe same State, says, '?The rati |
positively gnaw the halters ofF my hor*es while !
in the stable. " An Ohio correspondent remarks,
"They, the rats are every where? in the bo?*es,
the barn, and under every klump iu the field."
In the booth it is still worse. A late order
from the Navy Yard at M utile was tor thirty
pounds of the Rat Exterminator alone.
