AssArLr on JUDGE tNpERwooD.-
On Monday last as Judge Underwood
was going from the depot in Richmond
to the L. 5. court room, TO hold ms
court, he was met by Mr.. VIM. n. Nc
Weigh, who after saying 4 few words to
the Judge struck him in the face two or
three blows with his fist. The difficulty
was in regard to the house now occupl-
ed by Judge Underwood and claimed
by Mr.. McVeigh, it having been sold
for taxes during the war, and purchased
by Judge Underwood. Mr.. McNeigh
was arrested and taken before United
States commissioners, on charge of
impeding justice in the L. 5. Courts.
The hearing was postponed.

ADDRESS TO THE CLERGY
OF WEST VIRGINIA.
The STATE Council Of the Friends Of
Temperance. assembied at Lsp'ss
burg, aug. 6.h, 1873. +.

/tMpcTuHte' HSoe"'o's
burg, tug. 6.h, 1873.
To TIE CLERGY OF ALL DESo'llNA'
rIoNs IN THE STATE OF WEST Wv
address ourselves to you as the body 10
which we are most indebted tor any
improvements III public opinion touch
ing morals and religion. 1t is to the
Churches, said Sir Henry Thompson
the head of the medical profession III
England, when pleading for Temper
ance, though himself reputed skeFiic'
that we must look for any considerable
reformation in the drinking habits OF
the people, and the churches under our
observation have been much what theIr
pastors have labored to make them. II
this be so then, beyond most others at
least, theirs will be the responsibility
theirs the guilt,-and theirs the glory
of the national reformation, III which
we seek to be the humble but efilcient
co-workers.
It's no longer needful to argue the
questions of Temperance. We remeIn-
Der when public opinion on tins subject
in all countries was dead, or if any were
alive, whether in churches or civil gov
ernment, it was only to be i'll despair
There was a lion i'll the way when
would rend the Temperance reiormer
as he would rend kid. But we have
lived to see the day when truth on TINS
subject, rs we of the Temperance Or
CARNATIONS understand it, has won a
clear majority in all ranks OF society.
IN the Roman Catholic Church the
leading officials have taken this work in
hand and with great success. In the
Church of England the Convocation has
done the same thing. Bishops and
Archbishops are speakers at Temper
ance meetings, and sermons upon total
abstinence are preached by appointment
once in the year in the Cathedrals OF st.
Paurs aud Westminster, London, and
Parliament alarmed by the fearful adj
vance of drunkenness has taken the sub
ject in hand.
In this country every denomination
has more or less acknowledged its obli-
cation to labor in the work and more
than this Legislatures in nearly every
State in the Union are carrying prom6-
itory or restrictive laws as far as in their
Judgment public opinion demands them
and will see to their execution.
But vast as is the work which has
been done-probably the most difficult
part-it is needless to say how much re-
mains to be done, and which Is quite
practicable, if all will speak out and oct
out what they think upon the subject.
TO this end we make our appeal to
the ministers of religion that at least
twice in the year they will call the spe-
cial attention of the people to temper
ancc, and their duty to cooperate IN
some form or other i'll q cause which
has such claims upon common humanl-
tv, and that they will make such other
illusions to it, in sermons, lectures, BIZ
Bile classes, and Sunday-schools, as will
bring this, which is one Of the greatest
hindrances to the progress of the gospel
and moral reformation of the world, un-
der the Scriptural maxim OF SINE upon
line and Drtcppt upon precepf,

Heg" PETITION TO TIE LEGISLATURE.
We learn that Petitions to the Legisla-
ture, now in session in this State, are in
circulation for signatures, in this coun-
ty, urging that body TO pass law ma
king per cent. a legal interest for
money, and over that sum, illegal; also
a stay law for certain time. The ques-
ton is, would not stay law make mat
tiers great deal worse than they are.
Persons who could pay their debts
would take advantage of it, and in the
end would prove more disastrous TO
themselves than otherwise-take old
Virginia as al example.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR,
Labor is the great law of Gods Uni
verse, and ever since the transgression
of the divine law the stern decree went
forth-''In the sweat Of thy brow shall
thou eat bread all the days of thy life.
We read the great law OF labor in the
physical world The earth is ever ma
king her revolutions upon her turning
axis. Geological formations are ever
going on in the depths OF the earth as
we'll as in the mineral kingdoms, the
streams arc eyer Howingi the rivers and
oceans are eyer in motion while the 81
lent stars are ever shining i'll the hour
of night. These physical truths taken
with the divine law, all teach us that
we must work-that we must learn 10
labor and TO wait FOR the good results
that will be reaped hereafter
The Young man as he stands at Mes

highest hopes, But alas many are the
failures of this gloye-handed race, "A

Accepting a Nomination.

We never accepted nomination to
the Legislature but once. A political
friend Of ours named Fetters said the
community demanded that We should
run, and we consented. Fetters man
aged the whole thing. Upon the even
ing of the day on which the convention
adjourned, Fetters came around to tell
MS that an enthusiastic constituency
was about TO sorenade, and in few
moments n brass band arrived, accom-
panied by fifty or sixty politicians.
The music lasted for an hour. Then
Fotters said we must ask the band and
the company in to have some refresh
ments and we did. Fotters had pro-
vided wagon-load Of things, including
the most expensive kinds of wines by
the gross.
We could not sufficiently admire the
large-heartod liberality OF Fetters. The
company sat down to the banquet until
four o'clock in the morning, the poll
ticians making speeches and the band
every now and then playing in the
dining-room, ard waking the baby and
the neighbors, and rafting the very
shingles on the roof loose with its
righteousness. At half-past four the
company was in such iiotous condition
that we went out to hunt for n police
man. When we returned the leader of
the band was sitting uponr the stairs
with the handle Of an umbrella in his
mouth, vainly endeavoring to play
"Hail to the Chef with his fingers

himself by the wall, while he endeavor-
ed to discuss the tariff question with
our bust of Daniel Webster, and to cor
rect Daniels views of the local option

was crying on the mat at the parlor
door because, as be informed us, his
wiie's maiden name was mccarthy,
while the leader of the delegation in
the convention was lying in the piano,
the top of which was raised, beating
time with his heels on the sounding
board and strings, and whooping to
" the boys that there was " only one
more county to hear from %
We let the lid down with slam, and
that settled him and the policeman
came just moment too late to prevent
a fight between the bass drunmer and
the trombone man, during which the
bald head of the drummer was bolted
through our only pier glass, and was
then dragged out to bleed over the
carpet. he company lett finally at
six o'clock. We begin to have doubts
about the advisability of running for
the legislature, and these We're increased,
when Fetters called around at noon
with bill of twelve hundred dollars
for expenses of the band and for re-
freshments. That settled it. We had
thought the sercnade a compliment,
and the supper "a little treat from Fetters.
We did not run for legislature then,
and it is probable We never shall
certainly not while serenading by brass
bands must be endured by candidates
for the Office.

Five Days Without Food.

The schooner William A. Pew, of
Cape Ann, which arrived from the
Grand Banks, brought in two of the
crew of schooner Lewis, of Marblehead
William Ward and Lawrence Null
cahy-who left their vessel on the 3D. of
July to visit their trawl, and a thick
fog setting in they were unable to regain
her The schooner subsequently re-
turned to port, and the men were given
up as lost. The men state that for five
days the fog was so dense it was i'm
possible to see but very short distance
around them. They made every effort
to regain the vessel, but without Sue
cess. They frequently heard the whis
ties of steamers, but never saw one I:
and their sufferings for the want of food
and drink were most excruciating. On
the fifth day they were about to give
up in despair when the fog lifted, and
to their Joy they described a vessel in
the distance. This gave them new
courage, and determining to make one
more effort for their lives, they rowed
for the schooner and soon succeeded in
making themselves seen. The schooner
proved to be the William A. Pew, and a
boat was soon sent to their assistance.
They were taken on board in very ex-
hausted condition, but with careful
nursing and kind attention from the
captain and crew, they were soon on
the mending hand, although they still
show the effects of the terrible ordeal
through which they passed. When
they arrived home at Marblehead they
were welcomed as those only can be
who had been given up as dead.

Catching a Thief.

The following expedient for catching
a thief was adopted in a provincial
town in England some thirty years ago F:
a miller residing near place called
Beverly, whose premises had been en-
tered for some time previously almost
every night, and considerable quanti-
ty of grain distracted, hit upon very
ingenious expedient for the detection
of the offender.
The means of ingress was by putting
finger through a hole in the door,
which uplifted the latch. On the night
in question the miller set large fox
trap, and hung it inside the door, so
that the thief would be obliged to touch
the spring in opening the door.
Having taken this precaution, he left
it for the night, and on going the fol-
lowing morning his expectations were
realized, by finding fellow suspended
from the door by his fingerl The miller,
after severely admonishing the thief for
his crime, and taking into consideration
the sufferings the poor wretch had
undergone, gave him the choiceof abid-
ing by the law, or receive a good horse
whipping.
1t is needless to add, that he perfer-
red the latter alternative, which the
miller administered, with the full
power of stalwart man.
