A RALLY FOR OUR SABBATH.

The Sabbath Association of Berkeley
Co. and the Ministers Association Of
Martinsburg, feeling the Importance
of awakening public attention to the
monstrous growth of Sabbath desecra-
ton in our country; and fearing the
Judgment of God in vindicatiOn of His
Sabbath law, for which in time past
He has shown Himself peculiarly
jealous and deeply sensible of the
s. injustice to the fully five hundred
thousand working men who are COM
PEELED to work seven days in the week,
thus defrauding them of the privileges
of rest and worship; and recognizing
the influence of the "powers that be-"
in the nation and the vast corpora
tions of the land, including the gigan-
tic power of the public press, in
abating this dire evil: do hereby beg
leave to lay before the people ofthis
city and of the county of Berkeley,
the subjoined petitions" addressed
respectively to the Honorable the
Senate, and the House of Representa-
tives of the U. S. and to the presidents,
managers, &C., of the Railroads and
the Telegraphs and to the Proprietors,
&C., of the Public Press of the country,
asking you to read carefully and pom
der this weighty subject. And all
adults, both men and women, are
earnestly invited and urged to sign
these petitions or to authorize their
names to be signed to them.
In furtherance of this work, we
have appointed public meeting to be
held in the Central Opera House ON
Sabbath afternoon, April Goth, at
$3.50 O'Clock; and we cordially invite
all interested in this vital cause to
come together and consult on the
matter. Addresses will be made by
several persons. The choirs of the
different churches of the city are
requested to join together in the SER
vice of song.
Ministers throughout the county are
cordially invited to attend and lend
their aid. BLACKBURN HUGHES,

Suggestions Apropos to the Work of
Booming the State.

TO the Editor of the Iatelliqencer.
SIR Much is being said at the
present time about " boomingn the
.State-a word, by the way, L do not
admire, and far less do l admire the
selfish plans and purposes of some
who professedly desire the building
and prosperity of the State. To adj
vance the State in all her material in.
terests and industrial pursuits we
must cordially invite and take the
time and trouble to show strangers.
who propose to come amongst us for
the purpose of establishing new in.
dustries and making a home with US,
all the advantages so abundantly ex-
listing in our State.
If. on the other hand, we look upon
strangers as proper subjects to cheat
and defraud with heartless suspicion.
look upon them as little better than
visionary tramps, their stay with us.
no matter how worthy they may be,
will be short. / saw recently in some
paper that a glass manufactory at
Stenbenyille proposed to go west and
sent out commission to some town
In Indiana or Illinois; and the COM
mission having selected three acres of
ground the town proposed deciding
them the three acres and also prOcur-
ing them three thousand dollars and
exempt them from taxes until all was
in full operation, thus exhibiting a
proper spirit to the proposed new in
dustry.
If strangers or others desire lots on
which to build for Heavens sake don't
charge at the rate offrom three to five
hundred dollars per acre for land
worth but one hundred dollars. If
others want farms do not charge one
hundred dollars for land worth TWEEN
ty-five to thirty dollars per acre.
Make all things just, fair and honest
deal as we would be dealt by-fully
relying on our superior advantages in
soil, climate, mineral wealth. etc.
Let this be the aim, desire and prac.
tice and we will realize our fondest
hopes in the matter of West Virginia,s
increased prosperity. CITIZEN.

USELESS BRUTALITY.

We have seen recently in our
State exchanges, NOTICES of the
shooting of swans. One was shot
near this place last year. In the
name of common humanity we pro.
test against the slaughter of these

very tough conscience. What right
has any man to kill one of Gods
creatures unless it is harmful to
man or good for and needed food
What more beautiful addition to our
rivers and lakes could there he than
these same magnificent BIRDS
What gain is there in killing them
Out upon you! Why kill for the
sake OF killing? You are murder

The Keyser Echo makes some
very sensible remarks upon the ma
tnre Of the present assignment and
trustee laws, or rather the absence
of any such law. We publish the
article on the first page. If it IS
true that trustees are not required
to give bond or make final settle
ment through court or commissioner,
the quicker and stricter such laws
are enacted the better. Honesty
may be a good policy, but IN public
business bond is the best protec.
