Correspondence to the Gazette.
PETERSBURG, DEL, August 18th, 1874.
Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir:-The few remarks
made by Us In the GAZETTE of July 3lst, in an
swer to morning Glory" seems to have so effec-
ted our scribbling opponents that they verify
became frightened-spiked their pop-guns and
fed from the field. But one Mr.. Sop finally
came out from the ambush and popped away at us
again In the GAZETTE Of last week. He comes
not as did "Morning Glory"-but in a mincing,
begging the question kind of way that We do
not admire ; We like milk for babes and meat for
strong men. He opens by saying he does not wish
or intend to provoke C correspondence with us,
but merely stepped out to say that he is opposed
to dancing because tits sometimes connected with
bad associations. Now, we ask according to this
theory OF &C." what is there under the sun he
cannot condemn. Statistics tell US that according
to their number there are more ministers of the
gospel In our prisons and penitentiaries than
there are of any other class Of people, while later
reports tell us iths greatest preacher since the
Apostle Paul has come down from his legitimate
sphere and gone to nest. hiding with another mans
wife till all modesty is set ASIDE" Yet are these
any evidence why administering the gospel ia not
an honorable occupationr II we condemn
dancing because 1t is INDUCED in by bad people,
We must condemn everything else by the same
standard. The heart-broken widow puts on the
traplngs OF sorrow In mourning for the deceased
husband, the woman who sells her love for price
does the same thing. She dons the mourning
apparel as the one most becoming her and most
enables her to allure the maynard eye of man.
Many of our protest women frequent places of
this kind ond yet lie 1t a disgrace for q virtuous
woman to be prettyp Because dancing is some-
times associated with such things as we haze
above limited, is that any evidence why dancing
lie not an innocent and harmless amusement
Because our religious camp meetings are invar.
ably attended by whiskey drinkers and accompa-
MED by drunkenness Is that a sufficient cause Tor
us to condemn camp meetings. and publicly abuse
those who conduct themP Because we have
seen intelligent being profess religion whose
brain was stepped and whose breath was fumed
with whiskey at theitme of being at the mourner's
seat, Ia that any excuse for us to say "no great
degree Of intelligence or refinement or virtue is
necessary to an appreciation OF religion We
answer no every thinking and fair min led man
says no. Yet nc" and his theory says yes. To
argue with man who cannot see the utter folly
OF The position assumed by SC" is like admin
istering medicine. to q dead man or attempting to
convert an atheist by quoting scripture. The

good reason he cannot wade where II is deep. If

find us there to throw straws at him in his drown
ing agony. Vox PoPULI.

there was no insurance on either. By the
exertions of the neighbors the adjoining

it in the straw with q match for the purpose

Tur last LEGISLATURE of West Virginia

THE last Legislature of West Virginia
PASSED strict penal temperance law,
which allowed damages to be recovered
for selling liquor to habitual drunkardN;
The plaintiff claimed three thousand
dollars. The defendant did not appear
for two terms, and the first jury were
about to bring in verdict for the full
amount. when the Court discharged them
and permitted the defense to put in ltS
pleas. The stvle of the case was The

plaintiff proved by the father, the w'tr

The Insanity Dods e sueees.fuI Again.

Again the insanity farce has been play
ed of on justice, and another scoundrel
and murderer goes unwhipped in his vile
deeds. Our readers will remember the
cruel and fiendish murder Of Charlotte
Pridgeon several months ago in Detroit
by one William Il. Underwood, a sailor.
He had been paying his attentions to
Miss Pridgeon and been rejected; he seiz-
ed on an occasion and induced her to take
n walk with him. The result Of his in
tcrview was unsatisfactory, and failed to
effect any change in her determination to
still refu Sc his suit. Enragcd with his
disappointment, Underwood drew a dag
ger and stabbed the girl to the heart
when within her own door. \ jury on
Saturday found the black-hearted villain
mot guilty by reason of insanity This
is the second trial of this man, and has cost
n large SUN of money. lthas at last been
settled by an intelligent jury, who were
doubtless all doctors, that Underwood
didn't mean to do it; it was all unin-
territorial; his feelings were agitated; his
blood was up; he was i'll fury and a
dudgeon because the girl refused to enter
tain his suit; he was blinded; he was Graz
ed: he was insane, and all unwittingly,
and accidentally, you know, he drew II
dagger, aimed at the region of the heart,
and drew the life current i'll fatal
stream. The blow had been well aimed,
and in few moments Charlotte 'Prid-
scon's spirit had fled. Too bad, of course,
but he must be acquitted. What, though
he retained his faculties up To the mo-
mcnt of committing the deed? What,
though he had concealed weapon, as if
to commit some murderouS deed? What
matters it that while he was using his
powers of persuasion in II rational manner
a few moments before the act in cndeav-
ing to induce the girl to change her
mind and look upon him with more ia
vor? Ofcoursc that goes for naught.
In moment he became insane and
struck the murdcrous blow which sent
Charlotte Pridgeon to the spirit land.
Insanel 1t has come to be the plea IN al
most every case. No man can be con-
yicted of murder now, because he was in
sane mt the time of the act. 1t does not al-
pear to matter how palpably the evidence
of intentional crime looms up, nor how
plain and uncquivocal the proofs, 1t seems
barely necessary to set up the plea ol
insane" and q tender jury are induced
to render verdict of not guilty. Under
wood is a foul murderer, aud ought to
have been found guilty, and II the laws
of Michigan permitted hanging we should
be happy to record him as sentenced to
be hung Mich.) Press.

RUNAWAY HORSES.
A Simple Method OF Controlling


There are so many accidents from
horses running away that / think it
would be well to let the public know how
it may be remedied and lives saved. 1t
is simply this:
e.. Take a small cord, tie loop at one
end, pass the loop over the horses head,
attach it with string to the throat latch
so that it will not fall too far down /;
let the other end pass into the car
riage. If the horse runs, all you have to
do is to pull on the cord, which will choke
the horse and infallibly stop him in a
minute or two, as he cannot run if his
breath is stopped. As soon as he stops
let go the cord and suffer him again to
breathe.
The philosophy Of the operation is very
obvious, and any vice which horse may
show can be arrested by this means.
After two or three trials the horse will
at once recognize the slightest pull on the
cord and will at once be controlled.
