A WEST VIRGINIA ROMANCE.

Something over year ago young man,
a short distance below Wheeling, was ar
rested for horse stealing; and girl, named
Sarah G.. Winemiller, who was deeply at
tached to him, wanted to share his jail life.
This being refused, and she being al
most crazed with fear that he would be
sent to the penitentiary, determined to go
with him. So she set fire to q school
house, that was also used as place of wor-
ship For this arson she was arrested, convict
ed and sentenced to two years Imprisonment
in the penitentiary. When "Sarah's young
mans" trial came on, the charge preferred
against him fell to the ground. There was
nothing In it; 80 Sarah went to the peniten-
tiary alone, ''all for love-" On the 22d of
November Gov. Jacob signed her pardon,
and she was set free to 60 and find herloVer,
for whom she had suffered SO much. Here's
a chance for a romance writer to immortal
ize himself by showing, as has been remark
ed by some one, we believe, that "the
course of true love never did run smooth"
Sarah is only about sixteen years of age.

Decision ON the Merchants Tax.


Judge 10. G. Guild, of the Nashville
law court, heard an agreed case few
days since on the constitutonality Of
the merchants tax. Judge Guild rem
dered the following opinion upon the
agreed statement of facts involving all
the legal questions in issue in this
State:
This cause has not been argued before
me, and | give such opinion upon the
law and the agreed statement of facts as
/ am enabled to arrive at.
By the constitution of Tennessee
the legislature shall have power to tax
merchants, peddlers and privileges in
such manner as they may from time to
time direct. F"
The question before me is, has the
legislature constitutionally exercised the
power vested in them by the constitution
in levying tax upon merchants, as ap-
pears by said acts specified in the agreed
case? Before the Judiciary should de-
clare an act of assembly unconstitution-
al, its unconstitutionality should be
made apparent to the court.
1t does not so appear to me, and
therefore | order Judgment to be enter
ed in this cause for the defendant.
10. c. GUILD,
Judge Law Court
An appeal was taken to the present
term of the supreme court, and the case
will be set for hearing at an early day.
