A Severe Pounding.

The Southern Methodist parsonage
was the scene OF very severe pounding,
administered by the good people OF
Shepherdstown, on December 18th. The
assault began during the afternoon OF the
aforementioned day, and was continued
at intervals until the evening OF the 2lst.
The whole church was party TO the af-
fair. The inmates OF the parsonage have
again been made the victims Of the gen.
crosby OF the good people Of the church.
The parson is smoking with the spirit OF
revenge, and is now ransacking his
theological arsenal for his heaviest ar
tillery with which to inflict such blows
as will convince his people that he is
more than passive receiver Of good, and
that he will retaliate all such onslaughts
of devotion in the same spirit in which
they are made. The good things brought
to the parsonage are too numerous to
mention. Every want is provided. One
of the town butchers declares most en-
phatically that this pounding must be
brought 10 an end, as il deprives him OF
steady and liberal customer.
Two of the Shepherdstown Methodist
brethren are speaking OF applying for
ministerial license, so that they may be
enabled to share with the pastor some Of
the wounds which the people seem TO be
disposed annually TO inflict. The pastor
and family are thankful that they are not
too badly bruised to be thankful to all
who smote them. X.
