The West Virginia papers are still dis
cussing the question oI the annexation
Of The Pan Handle TO Pennsylvania, US
stated in the Dispatch yesterday, and some
of them seem to suppose that the Valley
of Virginia is seriously meditating upon
the idea of annexing Herself to West Vir-

caught him, was by the Tartar carried Oft

piDis. Both will soon afterwards come
fiding into the camp Of Old Virginia. So
far arc we from raising my objection to
this scheme, that we should not object 10
the annexation OF the whole Of Virginia
to West Virginia, We must say, how
ever, that the scheme is original in this,
that whereas heretofore people every
where and always have desired that, il
possible, a frontage on salt water should
be- possessed by the State, the Valley
would, crab like, travel backwards and
away from the sea in joining herself to
West Virginia. She would right.aDout

would go toward the setting sun and
away from the broad bosom oil the ocean,
which bears the commerce OF all the

AN AMATEUR CoNsTABULARY.-A lively lit
tie incident relieved the tednm of railway
travel of Conductor Bodge's train day or two
ago. At Gardiner a large, resolute and impos-
ing female got on board accompanied by
young lady. When she had got herself COM
fortably placed and was enabled to inspect her
surroundings, she discovered gentleman a few

hensibe proce IS Of. opening his travelling bag.
extracting therefrom q comfortable looking
flask and a drinking cup, pouring ont "mod-
est quencher'' with the evident intent of alb
sorbiLg it. This was too much. That man evil
IDENTIFY needed regulating. So the awful wo-
man rose in all her majestic proportions, de-
clared that he shouldn't drink in her pre- sence
and proceeded to enforce her mandate by going
for the offending flask with her parasol. The
astonished thirsty party warded off the blows
as well as he could and, by dexterous manage
ment, succeeded in swallowing the contents Of
his cup in the midst of the melee and at the
same time protected the precious bottle from
the imminent danger of fracture. The severe
female, finding herself foiled, resumed her
seat with the remark that if he tried to take
another drink she ''would break his bottle if
she died for it," He, on his part, declared that
he proposed to stake no more such chances
and departed from the State with enlarged
views of the practical working of the Maine
prohibitory laws.

The Thorndike Murder.

Our State has become the theatre of anoth-
er horrible tragedy. The murder in Thorn
dixie rivals in frightfnl details the Shoals Is
land slaughter. These events indicate sort
of contagon in crime, and is the same with
murder as with suicile. Let one of either
take place and more are sure to follow. Tie
recent executions displayed with so much dis
gusting detail in the papers and pictorials
have largely assisted in these terrible results.
The murder of Cleveland followed the order
for the execution of Harris, and these MUIR
ders add themselves to the homicides in New
York, which are the natural out-crop of evil
passions in some measure set in motion by
the killing according to law in that State
Murder will probably never cease in the land
any more than suicide, but orr State will
have taken long stride in advance when it
teaches by its own example the salutary les
son that all human life is to be held inviolate.
Although this paper has not given him sup
port, we have some satisfaction in knowing
that the candidate for Governor, apparently
to be successful in the canvass, participates in
the enlightened sentiments wi ich are becom-
ing more and more prevalent as their truth
becomes more evident 1t is gratifying to
know that Mr.. Dingley has always been a
firm and consistent opponent OF capital pun
ishment.
