G.. ii. MoFFArT, the editorial cor

White sulphur Springs, speaks OF
President Thompson's sermon, dcliv-
cred at that place on Sunday, the 9Th
inst, in the following languagc:
president THOMPSON
of the West Virginia University
preached to a large and distinguished
looking audience. The occasion was
one we'll calculated to cmbarrass a
yorng minister Before him was an
audience composed of the elite and
best representatives ofthc intelligence
of the land, among them number of
divines of distinction. But he was
equal to the oscasion. His text was
taken from that passage in job, If q
man die, shall he live AGAIN. and his
theme was immortality. There was
no heterodoxy in that sermon, but il
was a clear, logical, philosophical ar
gument in favor of the Immortality Of
the soul, beautiful ideas clothed in
choicest language, and made a pro-
found impression upon his hearers =
After listening to his sermon / am
free to confess that there is more in
the young than have hitherto given
him credit for He is a profound
thinker, possesses q philosophic mind
is evidently a hard student, Is Won
derfnlly gifted with the talent of
speech, and il his health docs not fail
him, and he continues in his applica-
ton to study, will make his mark as
a man Of genius
G. II. M. has ''come down the tree"

WAR IN MARION.
Charge of the Gallant Bees.

From the Fairmont papers we learn
of a regular war at Glover's Gap, in
Marion county 1t seems that Col.
J. B. Nay became the the purchaser
of a large tract Of land permanently
owned by man named Dennis
Campbell. Col. Nay was very anx-
ious to take possession and Mr..
Campbell was very anxious to re-
main. After using every peacable
remedy to GUST Campbell, Nay pro-
cured writ of possession and the
sheriff was called on to execute It.
Sheriff Manley, accompanied by Con-
stable Haggerty, Sine, Nay and Frank
Jones started from Warrington to
carry out the orders of the court. Ar
irving at the residence Of Campbell
he was solemnly warned to evacuate.
Campbell swore he would not do it.
and arming his entire family with
shot guns, revolvers, &c, proceeded
to rout the sheriff and his posse, they
thinking discretion the better part
of valor." Late in the afternoon they
returned and found to their surprise
that the men and boys of the family
were absent. Thinking that they had
soft thing, they proceeded to re-
move the goods, when the girls ran
out and turned over five bee hives.
Then commenced a scene of confu-
sion, such ''going for to CO." The
bees nearly stung the horses to death,
and the men did not escape unscath-
ed. after singing for some time,
Mr.. Manley, by some unknown
tongue, spoke the bees back to their
residence. Then they proceeded to
finish their duty The constable who
was to keep possession Of the house
for Nay arrived on the scene just as
the bees were in all their glory, and
beat. an ignominious retreat. From
the latest dispatches we find that ev-
erything is quiet in that section.

Sheriff Hackney and a posse of tbi

Sheriff Hackney and posse of thir-
teen men started out Sunday to arrest
Yves Sypolt. Surely, one would think,
such crowd would be able to arrest
one man. Though there were indica-
tons of his being about, he was not
seen, and after searching the house and
those Of several neighbors, the posse res
turned home. 1t is shame and re-
proach TO the county and district, that
one offender cannot be arrested. That
one man is able to brighten officers to
such degree as that they will wait till
the offender is we'll out of their juris>
