Thoughts for the Thoughtful.

| EDITOR CECIL WHIG-Dear Sir:-Since
you seem to be at a loss to know the OBJ
ject of the publication Of the "License
List " by the Temperance Convention, we
beg leave to give you, and through you to
the readers of The Wing, (which embrace a
large part of the reading public in our
! County, few ideas on the subject. Any
law on our books TO be enforced requires
some one to be the prosecutor. Now, how
are the people to know who is licensed
while the vender is not required to keep
! his license in conspicuous place and the
| list is inaccessible to the public. Now that
we know who is licensed let these that
have paid, prosecute those who have not,
for stealing their business contrary to law.
The Temperance men" are not at all
| interested in the enforcement of the law,
! for when man is drunk, he is drunk, and
it matters not whether he has been made
SO LAWFULLY or unlaoful1y, the business is
equally vile in the sight of God.
| Secondly. Some men do not like to see
| their names in print, or the names of rela-
tives that are respectable men in the COM
munity and stand high as members of
Church. But, why should they care as the
| business is certainly a lantul one. Or, if
they have any doubts as to the need of a
house for the accommodation of the travel
ing public in the place specified, why do
| they sign their names to a listo
| Did they sign to oblige a friend, think
ing that the paper would be hid away in a
! pile of documents in the Clerk Office and
never more come to light? If they do not
like to be caught in this company, we say
| keep out of it.
| Everybody knows that more than half
those to whom tavern license is granted,
never entertain enough travellers in a year
| to keep them going week. The only
reason they take out this license is because
it is easier to claim to have elaccommo-
dations than to pay the extra cost of res
taurant license. In the lower Districts,
where the stores sell liquor, taverns are
scarce. We believe that half of those get
ting tavern license in the upper Districts,
do SO under false pretenses, and should
| therefore be prosecuted.
But it has been proven to be only waste
of time and money to attempt to enforce
any License Law " for reasons that have
been stated, or are apparent to any one,
and more especially under our present
State and County administration, who are
dependent upon the rum power for their
support, and you may be sure they will
never proceed very earnestly in prosecut-
ing their best friends. If any one doubts
this, he can find the proof in our past
County Records. \ COOP TEMPLAR

E- THE METHODIST of New York,
edited by Rev. G. r. Crooks and Rev. Abel
Stevens and concede d to be at the head of
the Methodist press in point of ability, is
presenting to its subscribers for 1875, an
engraving of great value, not only as a
work of art, but as the only picture extant
containing, in one group, likenesses of
Wesley, Asbury, Coke, Whatcoat, George,
Roberts, McKendree, Heddng, Waugh,
Hamline, Baker, Thompson, Clark and
Kingsley, in addition to those of the pres
sent Board of Bishops. The portraits of
some of these men whose memories are
precious to every Methodist are exceed
ingly rare and but for the enterprise and
liberality of The Methodist, their faces
might have been forgotten.
The price of the The Methodist is $3.50
year and ~ cents additional for mailing
the picture. Subscriptions may be sent

A CHAE1vARI TRAGEDY-.Nurder Of a
West Virginia Bride.-A correspondent at
Richmond, Va, says that on the 23d Of
January last a shocking tragedy occurred
in Fayette county, West Virginia. On the
evening of that day Miss Neal a sister of
Madison Neal, who was killed in that coun-
ty about eighteen months ago by John
Coleman, was married to Mr.. Potter, who
is said to be Il very worthy man. After
the marriage festivities were over, and the
guests had departed, the family were
aroused by the discordant sounds of a char
ivari band, with horns, kettles, &c, appro-
aching the house, occasionally interrupted
by the firing of guns. The bride became
very much frightened, experimenting that
the serenadlng party meant violence; but
as they approached the house she went to
the door, accompanied by her step daugh-
ter, to invite them in to take refreshments,
hoping to appease them. Opening the door
she stood upon the threshold with lighted
candle in her hand. Almost Simultaneous
ly with her appearance there was yolley
fired from four guns at her, the contents
of one striking the door post, glanciDg
and entering the bI ide'S Mrs. Potter 81 ear,
and lodging in the centre of the brain.
With shrek and cry of agony the I'M
fortunate bride of a few hours fell to the
ground, from which she was shortly after
wards removed by her husband and daugh-
ter to the wedding bed. The Williams who
perpetrated this cowardly and barbalous
outrage disappeared in the darkness, but
in more sudden manner than that in
which they came. Mrs. Potter, after suf-
iering the most excruciating agony, expir-
ed two days after the outrage occurred.
A physician who was called, probed the
wound, and gave it as his opinion that
Mrs Potter's death was caused by hard
tow wad discharged from 4 gun in the
hands of the serenading party. 1t is graf
flying to announce that the parties have
been arrested, and three of them have been
committed to the jail of Fayette county
for trial. The citizens in the vicinity OK
press the greatest Indignation at this shock
ing occurrence. and universal wish pre-
walls for the prompt and severe punish
ment of all concerned.
