and turn it of-you're one of 'em, and

THE Pr. PLEASANT MURDER CASE
VERDICT OF GUILTY.-The trial OF
McMahan for the murder of Waggoner,
was commenced on Wednesday morning
of last week, and the testimony was
closed at the adjournment of Court on
that day. The prisoner was defended
by Messrs. Smith and Parks, of Kama
wha. The prosecution was conducted
by James Couch, Esq, attorney for the
Commonwealth, assisted by McComas,
of Kanawha. The case was given to
the jury on Thursday and on Friday
they returned verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. AT our
latest intelligence the sentence had not
been pronounced.
P. S. A telegram from Point Pleas
ant of Tuesday evening informs us that
sentence had been pronounced. He is
to be hung on the 25th of November
next. Judge Edministon was much
affected while pronouncing the sentence,
but the prisoner was not the least so.

OF q living faith, and happy in Christ. We sym
pathiZe with our afflicted friend on this melancholy
occasion-but we are thankful that he has the high
ana holy consolation which the history Of their lives
and the manner of their death afford him-the

the path of life, and glow with effulgence in the
hour of DEATH Wilmington Commercial.

esteem of all around him.
Rssotred, That we deeply sympathise with toe
bereavsd and afflicted family Of our late brother,

Mr.. EDITOR Il an q homespun man and
| desire to submit a few homespun remarks
concerning the important subject of Temper
ance, by way of answering the common OBJ
~jeetions urged against our name, principles
and objects, by my ~neighbors.
One says our practice is inconsistent with
our name-we profess to be temperate but
practice and inculcate total abstinence. Well,
my dear sir, we are trying to follow St. Paul's
advice, where he Says Abstain from all
appearance of evil" Well, but saws the OBJ
%iector, there is as much sin committed by eat
ing too much as drinking too much. This is
true-the glutton and the drunkard are in the
same category, but where you find one of the
former there are a thousand of the latter
Until g~luttony becomes as g~rievous a prac-
tice as drunkenness, your objection will have
no weight against our Institution and efforts
for the reformation of the inebriate. Let us
come down to a social, free-and-easy talk, as
neighbor to ~neighbor
st. Paul says 1t is good neither to eat
flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything where
by thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or
brother offend by my drinking" Why did
one is made weak by SO doing.
ANCAy " AA(ko SbotAN O4 IL OHI DOL-
tom, I am not going to quit my social glass,
because my friend over the way happens tc
drink a little too much once in a while"
You are an old member of the Church
perhaps, take heed least hat friend of yours
stumbles over you. Bear in mind that enc
man liveth to himself nor dieth to himself.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify you
Father which is in Heaven"
Well, l thought very we'll of your Order
until you got to meddling with the laws, ant
trying to take away our liberties"
Let me warn you to take heed lest thi
liberty of yours become q stumbling block t,
those that are weak. Now my christian friend
" let US lay aside every weight and the sill
which doth 80 easily beset US, and run witt
patience the Christian race set before us.
Help US to raise the drunkard from the mir
and dirt, and place him on an equal footin1
with his fellow man. No longer stand still
as if you were one of the brute creation
, Help to move from our land the demon Of ii
temperance. How can you stand idle and Sc
+ your n%eighbor's wife and children destitute c
bread, on account of a drunken husband
0! that God may so carry on the work {
temperance in our land that every drunkar
may be proclaimed, and every grog-shop cIosec
