E3V. WlLlIASTIiT.
Last Sunday evening the gentleman
abovo named delivered a sermon at the
Methodist Church, which has teccived
considerable comment, and which we
feel cal ltd upon to criticise. He took
for his ttxt the lawyers, school teachers
and newspaper editors, and especially to
the press of llidgway he directed his
"bolts of wrath and scorn." He said that
the newspapers did not devote space
enough to reiigion and temperance, but
should a dog fight occur, or, as was the
case a few days ago, should a man
"drop a small piece of lead on his foot"
the papers at ouce devoted a column or
columu and a half space lo a description
of the occurrence, "but, says the Rev.
William, let a temperance lecturer come
here, aud the papers scarcely deign to
notice it." Now wc wish to enter a
protest against the sermon as one which
unkindly casts reflection on the news
papers, wLcn Mr. Martin kuows fulj
well that wc never refused to insert anv
article Lc has furnished us, and would
have noticed the lecturer had the A I)
VOCatk not appeared before the loc
tutcr arrived; aud also wc think when a
man meets with a misfortune, as sh iot
iug his toe, it is outside the duties ol
a minister, to parade the subject be
'ore his congregation to raise a laught,
as a clown would at a circus, aud wcare
free to say that Mr. Martin has over
stepped the bounds of propriety and
should therefore "step dowu and out," as
he has already subjected himself and his
calling to ridicule and contempt.
We would further suggest that the
preaching of Christ would be more in
keeping with the sacred calling of a
minister than uiakiug sport of a man's
mih-furtune with the flippant remark
"wheu i iu d drops a small piece of lead
on hit foot." Wc hereby tender a col
umn of space to Mr. Martiu to answer
thiii if he sees proper.

PosTomcK Affairs It seems to
take some people a lung time to learn a
little bitot common sense. We noticed
the other morning several letters posted
up at the delivery wiudow of the post
office, iu this place, without any stamps
on them, and if not called for by the
writers, will find their way in the De
partment's waste basket. Whether this
urises f rom ignorance or design, is hard
to say, but it looks bad. We learn from
the postmaster, that the mistakes made
in third-clast matter is still worse.
The writers are coustantly endorsing
thereon rrore than the necessary ad
dtcss, such as "printed matter," "seeds,'
"merchandise," "books," "plants," "pa
pers," etc. Now, il either of the.-e
words are written ou a package, it re
quire letter pottage ratei to convey
the matter to its destination, or if sent,
compels the receiver to pay double rates
Third class mail matter should not have
any other marks about it than the ad
dress, First-class matter is not affected
in that way. You can write a whole
letter on the back of your envelope it
so disposed, and it will not increase the
postage, nor be a violation ot the law
The rate is three cents for every halt
ounce, or traction. But to write any
other information on packages ot third
class matter than the address, is a
violation ot tho law and aubjeots the
writer to heavy penalties.
. About Tramps.
As individuals and communities have
been so egregiously imposed upon by
professional tramps, tho polioy otgivinj
to them at all, to eat or wear, is being
seriously discussed. Many families
have given their last piece of clothing
except that in absolute use, while others
have given bountifully from their tables.
On tbe surface this seems a noble work
but wlfcn it is remembered that these
begging fellows never work from the
beginning to the ending ot the yeat;
that they make tramping nnd begging a
profession; that they are destitute from
choice, and that these generous dona
tions to tbem are encouraging laziness
and crime, it will improve matters il
each individual will flint up the heart,
and corporations dispenso with downy
pillows and giltedged dinners. Wheu
the scamps learn that there is nothing
to be had only by work; when they are
treated as outlaws, vagabonds and pests,
and they get hungry amid the real des
titution they seem to covet, they will
turn to a more legitimate means of live
lihood, but never so long os they are
kept fat and sleek by misguided kind
ness, and ill-advised seal of the too sym
pathetic. Tramps have become a heavy
tax aud the profession is fast filling up.
Thousands of graduates are added on
the first frosty uight of each year.
They uot only laugh at labor, but they
even send seornlul words at those who
have giveu them the last food in the
house. They curse those who refuse to
give and laugh over the soft-hcartcd-uess
of tho'se who do. This keeping in
good condition an army of tramps, aud
others encouraging its increase, is mis
directed charity, aud subversive of good
to tbe receivers, as a rule, and adding
unnecessary heavy taxation upon the
community. The injunction to feed
the hungry aud clothe the poor was not
intended tor the class now being con
sidered, but the real unfortunate and
reallly deserving. These tramps have
an organization, are officered and have
methods of communication. W'arrtn

f HE OPINION AS FILED IN 1HB SU
PlttME COURT.
Iu the case of Barney McCue vs.
The Commonwealth error to the court
ol oyer und terminer, Lycoming couuty
the supreme court Las decided that
the assignments of enor tail to show
any ground lor reversal except of the
sentence ot the court of oyer aud ter
niiuer. It was competent to show that
the piisoner and the di-ceised had
visited the same woman uud to follow
this by evideuco that immediately alter
the homicide the prisoner referred to
the fact that he had warned the de
ceased to let her aloue, that she would
be a curse to any oue, and now his
words had come to puss. Jealousy is
among the thoughts of the human pas
sions, ai d it certainly was for the jury
to determine, iu tho ubscuce of any
other assignable motive, whether it was
tho cauc of the prisoner's uct. The
evidence shows that ihe spiit of hatred
rankled in his bosom wbeu he did the
.-Looting, which resulted latully. The
evidence ol intoxication is very slight.
Iheouh' !!. atonal question is whether
the evidence in the easo contained the
elements or ingredients of murder iu
the first degree. It is certaiuiy true
that thd commonwealth must establish
tho existence cf these elements, other
wise no presumption arises from toe kil
ling ol an ofTei.su higher than murder
in the second degree. If there has ap
peared in the testimony the ingredients
to coustitute murder in the first degree,
our power ceases. We do not sit to
hear the case as on a motion for a new
trial to determine where the weight of
evideuce lies, but "to determine whether
the ingredients necessary to coustitute
murder iu the first degree shall have
been found to exist." These being
proved toe jury must determine tbe
uilt or luncccuce ot the prisoner.
The court recites the particulars ol
the shooting and concludes that the act
was clearly unprovoked and cccdless.
'1 he deceased was unarmed, and hud
made uo threats or demonstration
against McCue. The ingredients ol
murder iu the nrst degree were clearly
established Thejury had grouuds tor
their verdict, and their codcIiko.u that
the prisoner intended to kill, and wil
fully and with deliberation and premedi
tation shot Doctor, was not ii rational or
plaiuly unlouuded.
While we are of opinion therfore that
the elements of the crime fouud by the
jury existed in the evidence and that so
tar there is no error. There is one
error for which tbe sentence of the
court must be reversed. It does not ap
pear from the record that the prisoner
wus asked belore senteuce why sentence
ot death should not bo pronounced upou
him.
This is a fatal error and affects the
merits ot tbe case. It is necessary to ask
the prisoner this that he may have an
opportunity, before the sentence ol
death be visited upon him, to plead in
bar of sentence any matter sufficient to
prevent its execution. He may have
touud out some good reason why the
trial was not legal, or he may plead a
p-xrdon or supervening insanity. In this
case the question may have been asked
in fact, but as it does not appear on the
record and is a matter of substance, we
must treat it as not having been done.
The sentence will be reversed in
order that the case may be sent back
and an opportunity afforded lo tbe
prisoner to plead in bar of it, but this
wilt not reverse the trial and conviction
