She was finally shown into the library where the Judge was at work. Looking mp from his writing, he said: “Well, my good woman, what can I do for you?’ Said she: ‘I just want you to attend to that there John of mine, Judge.” What is the matter with John?” said he. “Why, he cuts up so, and he won’t perwide.” “Well, what does he do?” asked the Judge. “Why, he cuts up so, and he won't perwide.” And with all the Judge's ability as a cross-question- er, to every question, the answer was, “he cuts up so, and he won't perwide.” Finally he said: “New, what do you want me to do with John?’ “Why, I want you to make him stop cuttin’ up, and make him perwide.” The Judge tried to explain that, under the ¢ircum- stances, he had no more authority over John than any one else. But the woman went away, thinking he wasn't much of a Judege.—Somerset Vedette. BELow are so many of the game laws of the new administration as have been you are not aware of this; we can soon convince you if you give ns your work. translated from the original Greek manu- scripts of Secretary of State Gresham: , Federal appointinents .may be hunted, by Democrats only, any time during the next four years, either with gun, hook; net, bludgeon or dynamite. Voters may be trapped any time before election. It is not lawful to hunt worms except the four weeks preceeding a State or Na- tional election. Candidates cannot fish for voters with hooks baited with silver dollars or pint bottles, any more. It is unlawful to aim at two offices at once. For instance, if a man fails to bring down the Postmaster Generalship of his town, he is liable to arrest if he turns the other barrel on the Trustee's office. Any offiee hunter caught baiting his trap with religion is liable to a fine and’ imprisonment for life. Politicians who attempt to catch news- papers with promises of appointments are amenable to that provision® of the game law which forbids cruelty’ to ani- mals. Office hunters are forbidden to trap. sein, net, hook, shoot or otherwise seek to capture an office when they have not been in a party which thev bays just joined, rix months. The signatures of voters on petitions may be trapped any way, anywhere and at any time. : : Voters cannot be trapped within fifty feet of the polls. Other provisions of the game law bear- ing upon the time and manner in which offices and voters may be hunted and trapped, have not yet been translated, — Ex. The Murder of John P. Reed. Having received the particulars of the murder of John P. Reed. which we men- tioned in our issue of last week, we will give the details of the crime to our read- ers. as reported to THE STAR by a promi- nent citizen of Eagle, Fayette county, W. Va.. near which place the crime was committed. As stated in last week’s STAR, Mr. Reed was a late citizen of Boynton, moving from there to Miners- ‘ville, Ohio, and from thence to Eagle, W. Va. Mr. Reed lived at Boynton less than a year ago; he had a family, but we do not know how many there were in the family, more than that there were several small children of tender’ age. Our informant gives us the particnlars, as follows: EacrLe, W. Va, April Tih, 1803. EpITor SOMERSET COUNTY STAR: —Re- ferring to yours of the 6th inst., will state that John P. Reed-came here from Min- ersville, Ohio., and went to work for our neighbors, the St. Clair Co. While ap- pearing to be a very queit, orderly fellow himself, he took up and affiliated with a low tribe, the Esteps, who when in liquor are of a nature to raise a quarrel and are too much cur to do any fighting them- selves. ; : On Sunday, Feb. 26th. the day follow- ing pay day, John Reed, in company witli James Estep, went down to the neighboring town of Montgomery, two miles away, and got very drunk, and while there became engaged in some quarrel with another crowd. After they had started up the C. & O. track, home- ward, I met them, and they were then disposed to be quarreisome. It is sup- posed that the crowd from Montgomery boarded a shifting freight train and over- took them at Edgewater, about half way ‘between here and there, and Reed was struck on the head with some heavy im- plement (probably a coupling pin) by one Walter Dent. who bas so far eluded cap- ture. Yours Truly, EpwarDp P. WILKINSON. By the affair as related by Mr. Wilkin- son, it will be seen that bed ‘company and too much whisky, will often get peo- ple into trouble; and very frequently, too, people who are not really bad by nature. All the people here bf whom we have in- quired of Mr. Reed, say that he was an honest. peaceable and kind-hearted man. but whisky and bad company are re- sponsible for his sad death. The moral of this sad event is plain to all; we need not State what it is. We only wish to add that _while there are some good men who occasionally take a glass of liquor, their example should not be imitated. The man who neither tastes, touches nor handles will always be away ahead in the game of life. And bad company—well, it is even worse than liquor. Steer clear of it; keep good company or none.
