THE RESURRECTION or OsMaATloN. "
seruon by the Rev, d. X.

Sermon by the Rev. ID. X. Lee.
The Rev. d. X. Lee held forth at the Blocker
street Universalist church yesterday morning,
on the words OF the twenty-eighth and
twenty-ninth verses Of the fifth chapter OF
the Gospel according to st. John-"Marvel no.
at this; for the hour Is coming In the which all that
are In the graves shall hear his voice. and shal
come forth they that have done good unto the res
direction OF life, and they that have done evil unto
the resurrection Of damnaton.n The orthodox min
listers place literal Interpretation upon this text and
hold that those who have done good shall be brought
forth to resurrection Of life in heaven, and those
who have done evil to aresurrecton OF dannaton; but
this Interpretation Is not correct 1t only provides for
two classesthose who have done good and those VINO
have done eyileavng the TWO otner grea. classes
whoihave done neither without any resurrection ALL
According to this doctrine salvation Is thing OF
merit and not OF grace as the Scripture teaches US
to believe According to the literal Interpretation
all who have done one evll act VIII rise TO the resur
eeon ey and o. S evil Sna y no
for them. Therefore we see that the words OF the
Apostle must not be interpreted literally. What,
then the meaning OF the resurrection OF damnatonf
Is damnatiOn endless woe The preacher thought n0t
for In the original the word condemnation was often
is said in the Bible Of the duration Of damnation; IN
no place do we read that 1t 10 endless The true In
depreciation Of the text teaches US that those who
have done good shall rise to life OF JOY and those
who have done evil to condemnation. The Univer-
salsts believe In an immediate ana continuous res
direction Of the dead in the order in which they died.
Those who left the world at peace with God shall
wake to eternal happiness. and those no died Inn
penitent TO be condemned and converted, not
sa;d Is doctrine sSsaea oy Wnas peter
lrmed by the current voice Of Scripture.
There is no such thing as utter damnat0n. Creation
itself shall be delivered from evil The dlscords and
sins Of the world shall pass away forever. The
whole Of moral creation will be brought to final per-
fecton II VIII be the crowning Joy OF the universe
none are left to mourn In sin. Can we think OF q
more comforting doctrine to preach to mourners
than that the dead shall liver As In Adam all die,
even in Christ shall all live. Since by man came
death, so by man came the resurrection.

= We obtain the imperfect particulars OF tragedy
that Is terrible involving the lives OF three persons
under peculiar circumstances. Our informant states
that some two or three weeks since 3 man named
JAKE Hampton, O former empl0ye Of Measrs. Hale
3 Murdock started from the iron works IN Alabama
in company with Q young man named Dempsey,
who was moving Hampton and his household effects
to MontevaIlo Dempsey was teamster, living at
the iron works. After an absence Of day or
two Hampton returned alone and reported
10 tho family OF Dempsey that he had
where the body could be found. Parties went
at once to the place and found the body, and that
the man had come TO his death By violence. sus-
picon, arising nom his own conduct and surround.
Ing circumstances, fixed on Hampton himself as the
pefpetrator OF the dark deed, and he was arrested
and placed IN custody. But this 10 not the worst Of
beginning that is sad enough TO be the end Itself
Young Dempsey was an only son, and bis father, on
hearing OF his tragical death, was 30 overwhelmed
with grief that he dropped dead where he stood.
And yet another act In the s0rrowful drama. An
other member OF the family, daughter, brave spIr
tied though stricken with grief started after the
body OF her brother. Returning to the house she
found that her mother was also dead OF q broken
heart and dressed ready for burial. IL Is supposed
that Hampton's object IN committing the murder
was 70 get possession Of the team Of the deceased.

Turnpike companies, and are nos, therefore,
under the jurisdiction Of the corporation of
staunton. But the Waydksboropsh, the
.Middlebraok, and Jennings Gap roads, Is
far as the corporation. line sexteDds, are
subject to corporate control, and it isthe du-
Ity of the corporation to keep them in order.
Our specific proposition is, that-th eorpe
rate authorities. shall, without delay, proceed
to have these last mentioned roads thorough
ly improved and McAdamised, to the eerpo-
ration line. .s{E<
The direct advantages to the comfort and
business of the town. by increasing tho ia
cilities for getting supplies of fuel, hay,
grain &C., must be obvious to every one
But the. indirect advantages will be still
greater AS soon as the corporation moves
in the matter, the county authorities will fol-
low their example, and the complete system
Of improvement which we have been urging
will be commenced, and followed up, in good
earnest, There is nothing so ehcacious as a
good example IN matter of this kind.
The expense Of making these roads from the
end Of our improved streets, to the corporation
line, would be mere triae, compared with the
advantages which would flow from their con-
struction and we believe that the commence
ment Of WORT on them would be hailed with
general satisfaction by the people Of the town
and county. M

The Late Judge Alexander W. Baldwin.

Judge Alexander W. Baldwin was born in
Gainesville, Alabama, in 1S4l, and was con-
sequently only % years old. Distinguished
from infancy for precocity, he entered, at the
age Of IA, the University Of Virginia, where
he acquired great reputation as brilliant
writer, orator and eonyersationalist. At 49,
practising lawyer, he at once took first
class position at the California Bar At 10,
he was Prosecuting Attorney, and at 20 the
acknowledged head Of the Nevada Bar. AT
q he married avery accomplished and lovely
lady, (who survives him with two or three.
children) and had acquired a large fortune by.
his profession; having made in one instance a
contingent fee Of $100000..!.- At %, he was
appointed Judge of the T. S. District Court
for the State Of Nevada, and held the Office
at the time of his premature and lamented
death. He was no doubt the youngest Judge
the United States ever had. He stood head
and shoulders above any other man In Nevada,
and there was no office within her gift which:
he could not have commanded. Indeed there
was no dignity or position in America to
which his talents and requirements were not
eaual, and to which he might not have aspir-
ed without presumption. The death Of such
mar, in the flower Of his youth, isa public,
calamity
I Judge Baldwin was a small, delicate man,
Of marked nervous temperament, very hand
some and graceful, full of life and humor,
and Of the most polished and fascinating man
ners. He was, too, a man of pure and high
toned character and remarkable generosity,
and was animated by an honorable ambition
for great and enduring renown among his
fellow men.
The mortality among the men of Judge
Baldwins family, within the last few years,
has exceeded that of a battle field His un-

The Commission recommended thatl .sthe

"A Whole Family Murdered.

HUNTINGTON, November 1S.-With the
exception of the Probst's butchcry Of the
Deering family at Philadelphia a couple Of
years ago, the most horrifying slaughter chat
has ever occurred in Pennsylvania was com
mitted last night in the small village Of Pleas
ant Grove in this township, and but short
distance from this place. From all the par
7 ticulars that have been ascettained, it appears
that just after dusk, and between the hours Of
six and seven o'clock, the dwelling of Mr..
John Perghtals was entered by two fends in
human shape, and while the family, consist
ing Of Mr.. Perghtal, his wife, and a boy
about twelve years of age, named Gardner,
were eating their supper. shot Perghtal thro'
the head, killing him instantly; the boy Gard
ner was dispatched in the same way, and then
they split the wife's head open with an axe.
The first intimation of the awful slaughter
was the discovery Of the house being on fire.
On repairing to the scene the. appalling spec
tacle met the gaze Of the few ncighbors who
entered. There lay the mangled dead bod
les Of the victims covered with blood, the
walls besmeared from floor to ceiling, and the
brains Of the victims oozing from their
wounds. The murderers, after perpetrating
their horrible crime, covered the dead bodies
with bedclothes and then set fire to the house
to cover up the deed
The excitement attending the discovery
was most intense and the news spread like
iwild6re throughout the whole community
Suspicion at once rested on two men who had
been seen lettering about the neighborhood
for some time past. It was learned that they
took the night train from this place to the
West. Dispatches were at once sent to the
station agents and police all along the Penn
sylvania Road, and when the train arrived at
Altoona the suspected assassins we're arrested
and brought back to this place this morning.
Their names are Badderberg and Bonner
IN their persons was found $3.50 of the
plumber which prompted the terrible massa.
ere. Bonner has made partial Confession,
and from this there is unmistakable evidence
of their guilt.

A Word to our Corporate Authorities.

We have taken occasion recently in sever
al numbers Of our paper, to call attention to
the propriety of improving our county roads
We have reason to believe that our sugges-
tions on this subject have been favorably re-
ceived by the public. With aview to give
to them practical effect, we now venture, re-
spectfuIly to propose to the corporate author
tiles of Staunton that they commence the
system, by improving SO much of the princi-
al roads leading into town, as lie within the
corporate limits. The Greenville, Parkcrs-
bur. and Valley roads are in the hands OIL
