A Thrilling Drama,

Grafton Sentinel Eagle.
As we have been pestered a good deal
by the public, since Sergeant's Comedy
Company stranded, to know just what
kind OF a play they intended to present,
we are able this week through the kind
ness of Mr.. Dolph Shaw, who, il is said,
was to have been advance agent, to lay
before our readers the following brief
but very correct synopsis OF the show.
The scenery OF the play would have
been changed as often as the managers
collar:
SCENE I,-Old woman, twelve years OF
age, riding OF a byCicle, smoking cigar,
one night about noon, and falls under
the wheels Of a watch and has both arms
cut oiFjust below the knee.
SCENE II.-Country farm house, field
of corn, etc, on Twenty.third street and
Broadway, New York, red haired horse
and white girl; girl falls in a bucket Of
Ice water and is sCalded to death.
SCENE III,-Midnight on the Atlantic
Ocean; not oven a horse cur in sight; q
terrible prairie fire RACES; engines with.
out water to extinguish the flames; Jew
indian in sight; he approaches at the
velocity OF forty miles per hour with u
barrel Of coal oil under each arm and
puts out the fire.
NoTE-Therc is supposed to be an
elapse OF ono year between the first and
opening scenes, thereby allowing the au-
diencea chance to escape.

Swift, the Connecticut wife murderer,
deserves hanging II ever a man did. Flo
killed his young wife in cold blood.
There was not IN extenuating circum.
stancos The whisky.insanity plea was
the hilnsiest Of devices.
There never has been any doubt OF tho
guilt of Swift. But his mother and his
sister loved him aud desired to save his
life. The efforts Of the sister, for zeal
and intelligent efforts have, perhaps,
never been excelled in a case Of this
kind. The young woman succeeded in
winning to her side n majority OF the
Legislature. Tho Governor disagreed
with the Legislature, and the murderer
must be hanged.
The Governor was right. 1t was not
his privilege to takO into consideration
tho love and devotion Of mother and
sister. His business is to see that the
laws are executed. The Legislature Of
Connecticut does not show TO good nd.
vantage in It's warfare on the Governor
for standing by the law, A State cannot
be well governed on the line Of mere
sympathy with the bereaved.

Tho Ohio county Grand Jury has
indicted two men for selling liquor on
Sunday-two out of the horde who are
known to be engaged in that buSinessI
This is u wonderful escape for the
men who boldly violate the law every
Sunday in the year. The customers
pour in through the alley gate, tho back
door, the side door, even the front door
has some scores against it.
Why do these men openly brave the
lawi Because they think 1t safe so to
do; and the record shows that they
reason we'll. Let it once be understood
that to sell liquor on Sunday is to meet
with certain punishment for every Of
Tense, and that will DO the end Of Sum
day liquor selling.

Col. Fred D. Mussey has the following
good skit about West Virginia's Com
missioners to the Washington Centen.
nial in New York:
"a curious development is made in the
number of Commissionersappointed from
the different States, as showing tho vary
ing ideas OF the Governors OF tho States
about what was required. Rhode Is-
land, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New Hampshire, Iowa, Nebraska,
South Carolina and Kentucky were salts
fed to appoint ont apiece; but Maine
and Kansas will send nine each, and the
other States half a dozen or more, while
little West Virginia will present a front
Of twenty.seven. The committee would
have been Il great deal better satisfied II
only one had been appointed from each
State, since they have got to take care Of
the commissioners during their whole
stay here, pay their hotel bills, and make
their time pass agreeably,
~ guess" said a committeeman to a
New York Sun reporter, chat every one
Of tho three Governors OF West Virginia
must have appointed his own set of COM
missioners aud they have all been &c.
Cepted,"
