The Whipping Post.


Senator Roach's bill to establish
the whippiugsppst in this State, or,
to beSmore explicit, ~ punish men
convicted of beating their wives 10y
public whipping, has received the
Governors signature and is now u
law. All wife beatefs will make a
note of this, and not we beg Of
them, lay too much stress upon what
we are about to say, lest they may
hanaer aud pay the penalty under
the scat Better give your wives a
rest than make such a mistake. S,
1t would be rGTibutiye justice to
whip man who Whips his wife; but
to make it strictly retributiye the
whipping should be done with equal
privacy andikept quite clear of that
fatal scandal which must inevitably
attach to public whipping specta-
Gle, and forever after mark the VIC
tim as pariah. We have an idea
that any man of this age and cQun-
try, free born, would be less crtielly
treated by -heing shot to death than
fiogged at d public Whipping post,
the fact published Throughout the
land, as it must be, to his own life
long infainy andothe lasting reproaeh
OF his children, if rht. have any.
Under this act-that is if it be not
worthless-faithless wives may have
~ IN their power to ruin innocent
husbands; for, on trial of a
phafge of wife beating, the tes-
timony of the woman alleged to
have suffered would, nine times out
u ten, have more weight with
court Or jury than that Of the hus-
oand, who would BE regarded as a
party Interested in false swearing.
Subsequent conviction and punish
ment OF the false wife for perjury
would bea poor compensation for
inc Irreparabe wrong inflicted l'on
the Innocent husband We think it
may be, stated as a rule, that, under
such an act as this, no wife but very
oad and vicious one will ever Gem

At the conclusion of the meeting

don't ..Tmrd- -termism" was found
10 be at Il great discount, and while
General Grant was highly spoken OF,

nent candidates were found to be
Blaine and Washburae, and the SEN
timent was very nearly b.lanced be-

sions which had been drawn forth
during the day from many speakers
in favor of the former. The advan-

A HORRIBLE HUSBAND.
DELIBERATE MURDER OF HIS wIFE-THE
FAMILY BIBLE PLACED BY HIM ON THE
CORPSE

The Philadelphia Times gives the follow
ing particulars OF the shooting, at Lancas-
ter, Pa, on Friday night, by her husband,
James L. Pannell, Of Mrs Annie Pannell,
and whose death on Saturday has already
been announced:
Pannell is relative OF one Of the most
respectable families OF Lancaster, and took
up his residence in that city early last win
ter. He has been clerk for his uncle, pro-
prictor OF the Hartford N1d.) Furnace, and
afterwards travelled in California, Colorado,
and other places in the far West, and hav-
ing spent or squandered q considerable
amount of money in his travels and adj
Notwithstanding to his own story-he
became reduced to poverty and seemed
anxious to obtain employment. During the
Hammond rcvival-meetings last winter he
professed conversion, and some weeks later
he presented himself before the Baptist
church for membership, and was accepted on
his profession of faith. In April last he
married Miss Hedricks, cheerful and hand
some young lady, and member Of the same
church. Failing to get employment in Lam
caster, he went to Philadelphia and worked
about the Centennial as a carpenter.
On the Sd, of July he came home and be-
haved in an outrageous manner, severely
DcallnS MS WIG anu threatening Io kltl ueI
He went back to Philadelphia and returned
Friday. About o'clock in the evening he
called ut Mrs. Hedricks's, deceased's mother,
and proposed reconciliation. His wife
said she would cheerfuly forgive him for
his conduct, but would never live with him.
He then rose from his chair and stepped to-
wards his wife, pulled small four-barrclled
pistol from his pocket, and said: "This
night we make up OF else separate forever"
and Immediately fired, the ball entering the
LETT check.
He then deliberately reloaded his pistol as
she was sinking to the floor, and, paying no
attention to the screams OF the terrified old
Mrs. Hcdricks and two children, he fired
again, the ball entering behind the right ear
and lodging in the brain. Mrs. Hedrieks,
escaping down stairs to the second floor,
fell and became unconscious, in which con-
dition she remained for some time. Pan
nell, being then alone with his victim IN
the upper room, took Il large family Bible
from the table, opened it, and laid it on the
breast Of his dying He then proceeded
to balcony in the rear, took a seat and
commenced tanning himself, and few
minutes later was arrested by couple OF
citizens and handed over to the authorities.
Among the many stories in regard to Pan
nelFs history is one that few years ago he
perpetrated forgery on his uncle in the
State OF MARYLAND to the amount OF $1,000.

VIRGINIA TREAsUREs.-Few of our peo-
ple are aware Of the vast amount Of mineral
wealth the Old Dominion is possessed Of.
At our very doors are rich mines of gold
ard other ores, while valuable stones Of
almost every description abound through
out the State. We were shown yesterday
by Messrs. John II. Tyler s. Son, who are
directly interested in the mine, 4 beautiful
specimen Of gold which tley have Just re-
ceiyed from the Rivanna gold mines.
There was one bar of solid gold six inches
in length by one and one fourth in breadth,
and three quarters OF an inch thick. There
was anothermuch smaller, and they weighed
both together 2Sh ounces, and are worth
about 5000. This is the result Of two
weeks work, and is quite an encouraging
and cheering prospect for the company VINO
have just begun the working OF the mines.
The mines are situated in Fluvanna
county nine miles from Columbia, and are
the same as were formerly known rs the
Stockton mines. The work formerly car
ried on there was superficial and conducted
in rude manner, the operators having at
that time none of the modern Inventions
and appliances which so facilitate the dig
ging and thorough washing OF the ore.
Their mining, too, was confined to very
short depth below the surface, and in no in
stance did they 60 below the point OF strik-
ing water. So that the present owners have
left to them a rich field for their labors.
They have pushed forward their work there
very rapidly since they received their char
ter, having erected a mill within thirty
days.
We also saw at Messrs. Tyler d Sons some
fine specimens of amethysts, which are also
the product of Virginia's mineral fields.

RIDICULOUS ARRANGEMENTS FOR A DUEL.
A Kcyser, w. Va, correspondent OF the
Piedmont Independent says that some tlme me
since DR.. Brown, superlntendent OF scnools ?t
at Keyser. and Mr.. G. II. Vandiver, editor
OF the Keyser Tribune, had difficulty, with
ga lady at the bottom OF it," and the doc- c
tor challenged the editor to mortal combat;
The challenged party accepted and selected
double-barreled shot-guns, loaded Win
buckshot, as the weapons and twenty PAGES
the shooting distance. On Monday morn
ing last the dueIlists, accompanied by Sc,
conds, repaired to the Maryland side OF the
river, near Keyser, and each fired both bar
rels of his shotgun, but without damage to
the other. 1t then was discovered that the
seconds had put up a job on the belIieerents
by loading the guns with blank cartridges.
The discovery rather threw cold water on
the affair, but the doctor IS far from satn.
fled with the result, his ire having been but
increased by the hoax, and rumor says tne
affair is not yet ended.
