ANOTHER WARNING TO DRUNKARDS.

AiSo1h w AHNlNU ~ D1SONhhNDo.
On Wednesday, August s9th, one Robert Wood
ward, of Dnwiddie, almost without proyocation,
stabbed Laban Eppes, Of the county, SO severe
ly, that in very few minutes he expired. Wood
ward was Immediately arrested and committed to
Jail. On the. succeeding Monday. he was examined
by the Called Court, and sent on for further trial,
and the Superior Court commencing its session on
that day,) an indictment was formed against him by
the Grand Jury. On Tuesday he was tried and
convicted of Murder in the second degree, and on
Wednesday, Just one week after the commission Of
the crime, he was sentenced to ten years imprson-
ment in the Penitcntiary, tenth part of the time
to be spent in solitary confinement
Wood,oard and Eppes aoere both habituat Drunk
ards. Both were under the influence Of liquor when
the Murder was prepetrated, but Woodward more
so than Eppes. 1t would be unreasonable to expect
that habitual drunkards, who neither 'eara the wrath
of ..God, "snor regard the good opinion of 'nan,'
will be led to reformation by this new instance OF
the awful effects of Drunkenness--These we must
leave still to walow in their sly; to live without
God, and to die without hope.--But the young man,
who day by day, takes one glass more than rigid
temperance would require, Is not yet beyond the
reach of reformation. If these lines should reach
the eye of such one, let him take warning and flee
before the spell is wound round his soul closely
that nothing but Omnpotence can break it !!
