CLOSING EXERCISESOF A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR. Everything Was Admirably Planned And a Great Many People Attended Who Were Beliehted With the Entertainment OlTen. The Commencement exercises of the Clarksburg High School took place during the present week. Everything was admira bly planned and a groat many people attended who do not hesi tate to say they were delighted and royally entertained. Thoso who have been interested In the schools have informed themselves concerning the methods, and re sults, voice a general sentiment that pronounces this ODe of the most prosperous year's in the history of our public schools. Every department has been carefully and systematically organized. The entire school appeared to move at the call of the superintendent with an ease and regularity that showed at once that he was supported by an efficient corps of teachers. The superintendent, Mr. L. J. Corbly, after his graduation at the University, taught two years in the South and before that hod been a most successful teacher in our own State. His first year's work here has shown that he merits his reputation as an edu cator and disciplinarian. Prof. J. Russell Trotter, the principal! is a thorough scholar and a young man of unquestioned morals. He is also a graduato of our Univer sity and a teacher of considera ble experience and before coming here was member of the Faculty of the Conference Seminary at Buckhannon. His work here speaks for itself and we hope he can be induced to remain next year. The other members of the High School faculty are Miss Mollie Smith, whose two year's here have established for her a brilliant record as a teacher. Miss Anna Dunn, a most consci entious instructor; Miss Bell Davidson who may be justly proud of her record of many years ; Mr. D. M. Willis an en thusiastic worker and a young man who is thoroughly up with the times. Mi3S Hornor, Miss Parrill and Miss Shinn are all accomp lished young ladies and merit the many pleasant things that are spoken concerning their school work. Two rooms whose pupils are much attached to their respec tive teachers speak well for Misses Johnson and Taylor. Miss Dora Ridenour has had a success ful year at the West end. where she had charge of a large num ber of little people. Music has been taught in all departments by Miss Lottie Max son, the musical instructor. The bacctlaureate exercises took place at the court house last Sunday morning at 10:80 a. m. A deviation from the an nounced program was necessi tated by the unfortunate railway accident that injurned the Rev. Mr. Day, of Morgantown, while eii route to Clarksburg to preach the baccalaureate sermon. After a few introductory remarks by Prof. Trot ter, Rev. Charles White, of the Presbyterian church, read the morning scripture lesson and made the morning prayer. Instead of a regular sermon short addresses wore delivered by Dr Forrest, Rev. Thompson, Rev. Davidson, Rev. Robinson and Rev. Evans. The music by the High School orchestra was splendid. The solos rendered by Messrs. Thorn andDolan were indeed finoefforts. Everybody pronounced it a very pretty and instructive service. The graduates occupied seats in front of the rostrum and their brightintellectual faces betrayed that feeling of happiness and re lief that comes with the Com mencement season and its rib bons, (lowers and diplomas. The success of Sunday's pro gram served to awaken a detper interest in the regular graduat ing exercises which took place last night. The following programme was rendered: 1.?Mcbi c Orchestra. Invocation : Iter. Dr. Forrest 2.?Essay: "She Hath Done What She Could." ????? Mary Frances Fur land. 8.?Em at . "An Injured Bace." A. Truman David. 4.?

Wirt Lewis. 18.?Essay: "Night Brings Forth the Stars.". Columbia Bland Duncan. 14? Mnsto Orchestra. 115.?Delivery of Diplomas. 10.?Musi c Orchestra. All the graduates performed their parte very creditably and held the attention of the audience from first to last. We were impressed with the fact that Clarksburg has as handsome and intelligent looking young men and women as are to be found anywhere, and we are disposed to congratulate our Public School for the quality of the material they had to work upon, and the masterly man ner in which thev have devel oped and perfected it. The exercises passed off with out a jar from the beginning of the examination to the delivery at the diplomas. Excellent music was furnished by Arnold's orchestra, of Park ersburg. The mob usually present at commencement was wanting this year, and perfect order was main tained through the entire pro gramme. The small fee charged at the'door was missed by no one and served to Keep out many who would have been there and would have made the occasion hideous by their noise. After the reading of the essays Prof. Corbly addressed the graduates in a few pleasant and encouraging remarks, speaking highly of the graduates during the year. All in all it was one of the mdst successful Commencements 'our city has ever enjoyed. >A I.I.M FLOODKI). High Water! Orlres People From Their Homes. Salem, W. Va., May 21.? Never in the history ot our town was water as high in Salem as at five o'clock. It rained in torents. The people did not think there would be a high water, but at 5:30 it was rising so fast that they became alarmed, and at 6 o'clock our town was covered with water. Citizens on Water street were thinking thoy would be left homeless. The water was so high in some residences that persons had to be taken put on horses. The water was in a great many of the bnswess housos two feet deep. Some of the residents on Water street left their homes and took refuge on the hills. At this time it is fall ing, and the citizens are not fear ing much more danger.?Park ersburg Journal.

The season is now at hand when the consumption of Ice is quite large, and when that article in uot only * luxury but in many cases a necessity and en ters the homes ol the poor aa well as the rich. Too much care cannot be exeroised in getting l?o that is almolutely pure in every particular. Ice that is taken from stagnant ponds oontain the germs of d iseose and is dangerous to the health of the consumers. Artificial ice when properly made is free from all impuri ties. In the cholera epidemic in New York lost Tear the most prominent Physicians recommended the use of artificial ice as it is devoid of all elements of danger oiid none but pure water was allowed to bo used. Ice inspectors are being appointed in the larger cities of the country, and all tli? ice taken from ponds that are stagnated and impreg nated with impurities, is condemned aud its Bale prohibited. It is the duty of the liaaltu officers to look into this autterand see that no impure ice is sold. We do not want a cholera epi domio here this summer. These few opening remarks were sug gested to us by a visit to the plant of the I'nrkersliuri; Ice 'Jompnnr( one of the solid enterprises of the city and a^obd sanitary agent in point of the purity of its output The company has spent several thous and dollars this season in improving their property aud it is now one of the most complete institutions of the kind in the country, with a daily capacity of from 12 to IB tons of beautiful ice. The water used in the manufacture of their ioo is pure clear spring water. This in turn is distilled before being frozen and it is absolutely impossible for any impurity to remain after the wuter has pone through this process. The water is then conveyed to vats and frozen into blocks weighing 200 pounds each. This water does not come in contact with ammonia as is claimed by those who are not acquainted with the process of freez ing, but is in iron pipes under freezing vats. There are no secrets about the works aud any one who iB in any way skepticul about any of these points can have access to the building at any time and if they had never seen an ice plant iu operation the visit could not help but oeing an interesting and instructive one. The company commenced manufac turing ice March 17, and besides furn ishing their customers are storing the remainder and now liavo several iiun dred tons iu their storage house. The dotaands for artitlcal ice is grow ing constantly and the company will lilt several out of town contracts. 2Ji-tf. CONTRACT TO LET SEALED PROPOSALS.
