ARE RELIGIOUS Books LOSING OR GAIN
ING READERs?-It is question whether
what are known rs religious books consti.
tutc greater or less proportion Of all
the books published than formerly.
There was a time, in New England at
least, -as the spare book-shelves in many
an old country-house testify,-when a
rather respectable class read religious
books only. Reading was consecrated,
perhaps It would be more correct to say
conliscated, for the benefit Of what was
technically called the soul; removed out
ofthe realm OF pleasure into the shady
regions Of self.mortifying duty. It was a
state Of things uniavorable to culture, but
perhaps not more so than the exclusive
perusal Of novels which prevails in so
many quarters at present.
Il remains, true, however, that books
OF certain religious bearing are still
more widely interesting, more popular,
really, than any others; and any book
which processes 10 give a fresh view, and
especially simpler solution, Of the tam
gled problems Of life and duty (eyen
though it be, like Ecce Homo, for exam
pie, hard book to ready is sure Of its
welcome and Of very general and more
or less intelligent perusal. The book
which fulflls It's promises in this regard
exercises great influence, quite indie
pendently Of literary merit, or even, one
may say, in spite oiit.-FFom Reesni Iii.

Editors IntellIgencer:
On Sunday last (27th) our usually
quiet village was thrown into quite a
state Of excitement by n shooting afIray
which occurred in the street about Ills
I. NJ. It seems that Levi J. Powell, Of
Clarksburg, had come to this place 10
visit some relatives, and one David @.
Ross, who had an old icud against
Powell, attacked him in the street, and
after few "hot" words had passed
Powell drew revolver and fred at Ross
striking him in the breast, then Ross re-
turned the fire, hitting Powell in the
right side, the ball passing through the
body and lodging under the skin; Powell
then started to run when Ross fired again,
but missed him; Powell ram about thirty
yards and fell. Ross was induced 10 go
home where an examination Of the wound
showed that II was not serious. Powell
was picked up and carried to thehouse
of his mother.in.law Mrs. Dering), where
he lay until FIVE o'clock, until the arrival
Of Dr.. Hunt from Clarksburg, who exam
ined the wound and expressed doubts as
to his recovery. He fingered until 9:45
7. NJ, when he died. Ross was place un-
der arrest. Yesterday an inquest was
held on the body OF Powell, and the jury
rendered verdict that "Levi ]. Powell
came to his death by pistol shot fired by
David @. Ross
Powell used small Smith & Wesson
revolver shooting No. 3 cartridges. Ross
has not had an examination as yet.

visit TO MoundsviIlc.

MoUNDsvILLE, March d.
Editors Of the IntelllEencer:
Having spent few days in this ancient
town, | am prompted TO record some OF
my impressions concerning il through
the columns of your valuable paper.
Among the features OF the place that
most commended themselves TO my auen.
ton are its educational facilities. ] had
the pleasure Of visit 10 the public
school and was highly gratitied with what
l saw and heard there. The building is a
large brick, well adapted for its purpose,
and sufficiently commodious to accom-.
MEDIATE five or six hundred children.
Through the courtesy ofthe Superintend.
ent was admitted to the different rooms
and the privilege ofhearing several reci-
tations. 1t was obvious that the instruc-
ton impaired to the pupils was in keep.
ing with the progress OF the age in school
matters. The names OF the teachers are
as follows: F. H. Cross, S. r. Hanan,
Misses McGaw, Evans, Peck, Wallace and
Sloan. The good order observed by the
pupils, together with the intelligence
manifested, indicated that the school was
in an efficient condition. Prof. Crago, the
Superintendent, is n genial, clever, and
popular educator. His extensive expert
ence and advanced views Of treating and
governing schools have made him con.
spicious as candidate for State Super
intendent OF Schools on the Republican
ticket. II elected he would no doubt do
much to forward the cause OF education
Throughout. the State.
The next objects Of interest that at
tracted my attention were the churches.
A very liberal sentiment prevails among
them, and their respective ministers de-
serve credit for laboring to that end. A
series OF meetings were in progress, dur
ing my visit, at Liberty Hall, under the
auspices Of Revs. Wilson and Spencer, Of
the Christian or Disciples Church.
Business is dull, and will be as long as
one.half Of the citizens 80 TO Wheeling
and buy their goods. / feel safe in say
ing that one.half Of all the dry goods used
by the people here are purchased inyour
city, and nine.tenths Of NIL the news, pc.
litical, religious and general, is received
from the Wheeling papers. Politically,
the town is all alive having aspir-
ants for most every office at the disposal
OF the people. Candidates are as plenty
as grasshoppers or the Colorado potato
bugs.
Last, but not least, this town has, &c.
cording to the observation Of your cor.
respondent, more marriagable Young Ia.
dies than most places Of It's size. Young
men are invited 10 come and inspect be-
fore going elsewhere. VISITOR.
