THE NEED OF RAIN.

GEORGE SAwrELL, ESQ, OF the Short
Greek region, says the crops are suffer
ing for want OF rain; that the lower
blades on the wheat are beginning 70
turn yellow; pasture and the hay crop
are a. a stand.stili, and corn refuses TO
come up. They had no rain mp in that
vicinity last week, the day the big show
brought such a fine rain 70 Wheeling,
and they now want a sunday School
picnic or something OF the kind 70 bring
them a "sheet Of dampness,' Notwith-
standing the dry weather, Mr.. SAwTELL
saws the wheat bids iair for a good crop.
The straw may not be long, but il no
disaster overtakes il, the yield may be
very good.
Our old friend CoCEAYSE, Of Marshall
county, informed Us, yesterday, that no
rain had fallen in his vicinity for four or
five weeks. The ground is perfectly
dried out, and corn lies in among the
cIOds with no more moisture 20
sprout 10 than If it was among Cinders
fresh from the furnace. Hetel.s US that
farmers in his vicinity are growing quite
uneasy about their prospects. No rain,
cold winds alternating with hot suns,
all moisture has escaped from the sur
face Of the ground.
In this climate we usually have some
thing Of a spring drought, but this one
is proving rather more severe and ex-
tended than is the custom.

Ex-CATHEDRA.

Ina recent address before the Con-
gregational ministers Of Indiana, assem-
bled at Terre Haute, Rev. THOMAS r.
BACON, a son of DR.. LEONARD BACON,
discussed the growth of skepticism, and
its proper treatment. The following Is
a significant extract:
1--WE acknowledge three sources
whence we derive the knowledge OF re-
ligious truth, reason, feeling, and au-
thority. The human reason applied TO
authoritative religious teachings bears
its legitimate fruit OF emotional expert
ence, and the outcome OF the three is
doctrinal conviction. When these
three are most nearly in their proper
equilibrium the resulting convictions
will be nearest the truth. When either
one of then has undue prominence thu
religious convictions will be one sided
and erroneous. When reason is pre-
dominant we have ratiOnalism, when
feeling has too much weight the
result is mysticism, when the
reliance is upon authority alone,
belief becomes mere traditiOnalism. We
can dispense with either reason or feel
i.g and still have some kind OF religious
belief, but without recognized author
itv there can be no faith, nothing but
speculation and vain philosophy. What
then can we say for a religion that asks
the fullest and most critical investlga-
ton OF its authoritative basis, and then
frankly acknowledge that this basis is
broken down by the explanation which
il has invited. And do We not thus ac-
knowledge? We say that the Mosaic
account OF creation is not correct, We
have grave doubts as to the extent OF
the deluge, and the ages or very exist
ence of the antedeluvians whose names
are recorded. We admit that the his
tory OF the Jewish people is like other
histories, compiled from earll-
er documents. We admit that
there are found in some
of the writers moral conceptions which
are very shocking to our sense OF right.
We acknowledge that discrepancies eX-
list in the chroniClers Of the Old Tesla
ment and in the cyangelists Of the New.
We count as nothing the direction OF
Paul that women will keep silence in
the church, and the medical advice OF
James TO annoint the sick with OIL All
this we have conceded TO skepticism, or
rather TO the spirit Of free inquiry, Tor
quite as much OF the criticism that has
led to these results has come from be-
levers as from Unbelievers. Protest
antism has boldly declared its willing
ness to stake all upon the absolute in
tegritv of the Bible. That its integrity
has been disproved, and where in the
world are We? The foundations are des-
troyed and what shall the righteous
do?"

THE ACTS

The bound volume OF the Acts passed
by the last Legislatures now being dis
tributed 70 the proper officers by the
Secretary Of State. The volume con-
tains all the Acts and Joint Resolutions
passed by the Legislature at It's late ses-
sion. together with all the certificates Of
incorporation which have been issued
in the state during the past year. The
index % the Acts is an unusually full
and complete one, and does great credit
TO the industry and ability OF the ac-
complished Clerk Of the House, Major
PEYroS. We rciuiormedthat the
Acts are published and distributed AZ
an earlier date after the adjournment OF
the Legislature, this year, than in any
previous year; and We DO not remem-
Der 10 have seen them gotten up in better
style az any time.

COMPLETING THE STATE INSANE
ASYLUM.

Through correspondent at Weston
we learn that the Directors OF the Asy-
INN awarded the contracts on Wednes-
day last for completing the last section
OF the building. This is not only unex-
pected but will be very gratifying news
to the people OF the State.
1.-THE last session Of the Legislature
an appropriation Of $4,000 was made
for the completion Of one more section.
The estimate Ofthe cost was based upon
the cost ofthe section last added to the
building, and the same amount, there
fore, was appropriated. About SIX
weeks ago, however, the contracts for
the building OF the proposed section
were let, and taken at the aggregate
sum of 9,577.55, or only little more
than one-hali Of the sum appropriated
for it by the Legislature, and one-halt
the cost TO- building the last section.
The directors have therefore been
encouraged to 90 ahead and complete
the remaining two sections OF the
building out of the appropriation made
for a single section. And they Will
accomplish it, OF so nearly, that they
feel authorized to finish the building.
The deficiency will be lessthan 81 900 out
of the appropriation already made,-the
aggregate contracts for the last section
being even less than the previous one,
viz: 46,2G6,37.
This is a very good showing on the
contracts just awarded, but 1t places
somebody in a very awkward position
with reference to the section which cost
Sg5, 700, or Just what it now costs TO erect
two sections. There was a right lat
margn in that contract. Somebody
featbered his own nest while building 4
nest for the insane. He was careful to
have a reserve fund. When he finished
his contract with the State, he had a
clear balance 10 his credit Of SIS, 1865
or else the contractors who now pro-
pose 10 build section for $40, 266.3I,
are going TO lose more than that amount.
At any rate it is safe to conclude that
about fifty thousand dollars Of the
States money was distributed about
very loosely in that contract. Will
somebody rise and explain?
We congratulate the Board Of Direc-
tors and the people OF the State upon
the prospect Of an early completion OF
this institution. Our jails will now be
emptied Of these unfortunate creatures.
II has been a crying shame that no bet
ter place than a Jail could be furnished
for many who might have been restored
under proper treatment.
The completion Of the building will
make room for go additional patients, OF
which there are about Seventy-fye now
in the iails. There will thus be an I'M
occupied capacity for one hundred and
seyenty-fye, which, with the usual
number Of depletions occurring from
recovery and death, may enable the
asylum to supply the wants OF the State
for some years 20 come.

THE WEST VIRGINIA PRESS AssO-
CITATION.

After mature consideration, z. W.
Morris, Vice President OF the West
Virginia Press Association, has con-
cluded 10 take the responsibility OF
postponing the annual session Of the
West Virginia Press Association. The
meeting will be held in this city on
Thursday, September 5Oth, 1879. This
change is for the reason that the Asso-
citation will be benefited by it, and in
this connection all the members, as well
as other publishers in the State, are de-
sired to make preparation to positively
attend in the fall. II the proper course
is pursued, the organization can be
made the means OF much good to the
press OF West Virginia. No further
postponement will be made, and the
officers Of the Association will use every
means in their power to assure the sue
cess Of the meeting in September. We
hope this intelligence viii be generally
circulated through the press OF the
State

ter Of seli-preservation with the lawyers

forms demanded by the people in our
whole system of jurisprudence. They
will be made. II not by the Bar, then
by the people. There is no installing
the sentiment that is abroad in this
State on the subject. The people mean
business. There are crying wrongs in
this connection that must be redresSed
There are expressions that the people
will before long throw off. They will
not submit to,a tax and a delay in our
courts that amounts 10 a denial OF JUS
tide. II is proper that the Bar should
take the initiative. But the reform will
come whether they bring it or not.
