me Thcspiun society.

Having been politely furnished with
complimentary ticket" We attend
Cd, on Now Years Eve, performance
Of the TAespian Society of this place,
and they will, as matter of course,
expect to hear from US. Well, so far
as We can conscicntiously comm end,
wo say that the performers had evil
IDENTIFY studied well their parts, and cx'
hibited no little tact and talent in sus-
tanning them. The music, as usual,
was excellent. BY way of criticism,
we give it as our opinion, that in auch
community as we have hereabouts,
all old English plays should be subject
ed to rigid revision, to the entire
exclusion of vulgar and profane SEN
fences. The repetition of these, from
the stage or any where else, cannot be
otherwise than injurious to the rising
generation. We have never yet known
any beneficial result to be realized
from theatrical exhibitions, whether in
city or country,--whether great or
small. 1t is true, that time might be
worse employed; and young people
need recreation and will have it. So
it is-but where we have nothing to
do with the selection of recreations,
We respectfully decline endorsing them.
A complimentary ticket" is very
clever, and polite, and all that; but in
cur estimation does not carry with it
an obligation to approve every thing
TO which it invites.

Joseph Sapp a Suicide!

On Monday morning last, the news,
by no means unexpected, was spread
through town that Jos. Sapp had put
an end to his life, in the prison where
ne was confined on the charge Of MUIR
dering his wife The jailor having
found short piece of rope concealed
in his cell, chained him to bolt in the
floor on Saturday, to prevent him from
iDjuring himself; but he managed to
break the chain, and by fastening one
end to bar in the window, and the
other round his neck, he effected his
purpose.
Coroner Raymond summoned jury
viz. John r. Drabell, Daniel Fordyce,
d. II. Chadwick, James Davis, II. D.
McGeorge, VIM. Lazier, G.. McNeely,
John Wallace, j. Mercer, D. +. Camp
bell, Il. G. Lazier and E. ?. Fitch.
Sheriff Fleming testified that he was
called upon by Mr.. Stewards daughter
to go to the Jail, as she feared there
mas something wrong with Sapp. He
called Sapp, and receiving no answer,
entered the cell, and saw him standing
near the window, with his face towards
it; put his hand on his shoulder, and
found he was dead. Tn addition to the
chain around his neck, he had hand.
kerchief stuffed into his mouth.
The jury rendered the following YER
dict:--" That the said Joseph Sapp
came to his death by his own hands,
by hanging himself with chain by the
neck, fastened to the grating or bars
Of the sky.light in said jail"
Verify, "the way Of the transgressor
is hard" From the moment of his
incarceration, the poor wretch seemed
70 be oppressed with an insupportable
weight of guilt, or superstitious fears,
md to have fully resolved upon self.
destruction. Though visited and con.
ycrscd with frequently by ministers of
the gospel and others, he gave no ra.
tional evidence Of repentance for
life of yicioasness and abandonment;
nor did he make confession Of the last
heiaous crime laid to his charge. lIc

Boys, Read This I!

We commend the following extract
to the special attention of the boys, or
if they like the phrase better, the .5u
GENTLE gentlemen, of Morgantown. Not
ono of them has an idea how much the
tipping of ale and the smoking of Sc
gars may interfere to prevent them
from attnining to any respectable or
useful position in society:
"a few years since New York
merchant advertised for boy. Soon
one called at the store and offered his
services. Walk into the office, my
lad, said the merchant, I'll attend to
you SOON 1t was not long before the
merchant was at liberty, and took his
seat by the boy. AS he sat down, he
observed segar in his hat which he
held in his hand. my boy said he,
: want smart, honest, faithful lad ;
but | see that you smoke segars, and
in my experience of many years have
ever found segar smoking in lads to be
connected with various other evil hab-
its. You can leave; you will not suit
me- Perhaps the lad thought that the
trader was unjust to judge him so Sc
verely, on account of scgar. But
such little things are often the best key
to character. Nearly all the youth
who have been ruined, have smoked
segars, which practice generates thirst,
and this leads to tipping, and this to
numberlcss other vices"
