IeNORANT people generally have per-
verted notions of the powers and duties
of those in authority.” During the life of
the late Judge Rlack, and his residence
in Somerset, and while he was President
Judge of this district, a woman, who was
not the most dutiful wife in the world,
and who had a worthless husband, came
to the Judge's house and demanded to
see’him. 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.

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.
