MINISTERIAL CHANGEs.-Elsewhere 10
this mornings INTELLIoENcER we give
the list OF appointments of the West Va
Conference Of the N. E. Church for the
ensuing year. II will be seen by referring
to 1t, that very few changes have beer
made IN the charges in this city. Rev.
DR.. G. Martin, who for the past four years
has been the Presiding Elder Of this Dis
trict, goes to Thomson Church ISLAND.
DR.. NJ. Is succeeded in the EldershIp by
Rev. F. Ball, well and iaVorably known
all over this section Of the State. Rev.

torate of the Church In MorGantown, sc
acceptably filed since the Spring Of 1870
by Rev. W. N. Mullenix. Rev. N. has
been sent to the Permanent Seattle
land Of perennial summer.
Rev. Hughes, Of Zane Street, Rev. DR..
Richmond, Of North Street, and Rev.

Clark, well known here, goes 10 Gofi

POLICE CoURT.-The morning levees
Of Judge Rogers continue to be attractive,
and are numerously attended. Yesterday
morning, His Honor had a crowded
house, and judging from what we have
seen, 1t occurs to US that q matinee, say
at2 o'clock in the afternoon, would be an
immense success. The hour would be a
more fashionable one, and the audience
would probably be moro brilliant. We
don't expect the Judge will adopt the
idea, however; so we will have to be sat.
isaed with things as they are, and con-
time to serve up police hash in the nom.
Ing, as heretofore.
The docket Of yesterday morning COM
prised the following: Frank Reilly,
drunk, two dollars and costs; John Win.
ser, same, same fine; Elisabeth Hsnke.
tumult and disorder, two dollars and
costs; William Smith, (brother Of John y
drunk, same flnei Harry Brady, obstruct.
Ing pavement, one dollar and costs.

the Professors ability to accomplish IN

the dressing bureau, and lady in South
Wheeling the gold band tea set Of china

Home, Mrs. Geo. W. Norton and Mrs
James Brown, Of this city, and Miss At

After the jury in case No. /, against
Stanley, failed to agree, by consent, an
other was empanneled and the second trial
Of it at once proceeded with. 1t was this
second jury which was out when we left
the Court room, Tuesday evening. Sub
sequently they returned and rendered a
verdict Of guilty against the defendant
and fixed his fine at $15.
Case No. 8, State g. Stanley, was taken
up yesterday and was fully heard. The
papers were given the jury about 81. NJ
and they had not arrived at any conclu-
sion an hour later.
Case No. 4, same parties, was taken up
as soon as the jury in case No. 8 retired

our engagements required US to leave the
court room about o'clock.

Sensations In the Papers.

We have just taken up at random one
of the New York daily papers. Of course
Il ,ntains the usual standard captions
such as " Horrible Murder" awful
Casualty" Unknown Suicide" etc.
Let us run the eye along, and see what
this small sing'e sheet offers to he pub
lie to-day A Man Boiled Alive
"Cholera aud Rinderpest;" "Outraee
ON an English Actor" Send your
Children ont of this Furnace" " South
Oyster Bay Tragedy" Found in n
Well;' No Clew to the Mysterious
Murder" " Unwholesome Meat" "The
Outrage of the Day" "A INDUSTRIOUS
Attempt" Pest Ship in the Lower
Bay" Burglars latest Dodge" "In-
ternational Cock Fight" ARRESTED for
Murder" Killing of Morrison;"
Sheriff Street Tragedy" "Suicide OF
an Unknown Woman. But we pause,
though not because we have come to the
end of the list. These headings are
actually taken from city daily which
lies before us. Nor is the reading mat
ter presented specially unlike what
many other papers contain. 1t is the
fashion to gather up as many sensation
al items as possible. 1t would seem
that newspaper of the period to meet
the popular taste. must contain large
variety Of horrible dishes, served up
with all manner of condiments. We
turn away from the dreadful record i'm
pressed with the conviction that the
world is constantly growing worse-that
crime is rapidly increasing. Good old
people shake their heads, and say twas
not so in their day. But before we de-
spairingly yield to the belief that the
moral tone of the community has hope
lessly degenerated, let us consider the
great increase in population within the
last half century-that much more is
done nowadays than in the days of our
fathers, not of evil only, but also of
good, and that the natural tendency of
the rapid increase of journalism is to
bring before the public whatever hap
pens. Remembering these things, we
may feel that the whole world is not
quite hopelessly bad. Yet it is most
unfortunate that so much publicity is
given by the press to details of shame
less and atrocious crimes. Our news
papers are thus rendered both unpleas-
ant and unsuitable for family reading.
The finer sensibilities of the community
are blunted, the constant reader be-
comes disgusted or demoralized. Can
not higher standard be raised and
public sentiment be gradually educated
to give hearty approval and support to
a purer journalistic literature ?
