HORRIBLE SPECTACLE. On Thursday
week, says late English paper, a: Bar
moor limekiln, near Lowick, Northum-
berland, james Johnstone, aged As, was
standing on large mass of limestone,
and endeavoting to break it in pieces,
when it suddenly sunk down about five
feet, and he became imbedded in the
centre Of the burning kiln. His fellow
laborers and several quarrymen endeav
ored TO extricate him from his awful po-
sitiou, but without success. He was
wedged in SO fast that they could not
draw him out with rope which they
had thrown TO him, and which he had
fastened round his body; neither could
they drag him out by means OF horses,
brought from Mr.. Philips farm. The
miserable sufferer threw the burning
stones from about him until his fingers
were burnt off; still he could not be lib
Grated, His thoughts seemed even more
iutent upon his children than upon him,
SELF He was continually lamenting the too
evident prospect of their becoming faith
erless. Ills sister was present at the
awful scene, but would not allow the
children to be brought. DIR Taylor of
Lowick, also witnessed the sad sight,
and told the wretehed man, at length,
that his death was inevitable. His legs
we're nearly burnt from his body, and
his bowels protruded, yet, strange to say
he stated that he suffered no pain; he
stretched his arms and lifted up his eyes
to heaven, and offered up solemn and
earnest prayer for himself and children,
and then, drawing his hat over his eyes
he dice, (within three quarters of an hour
from the time of the accident, y retaining
the full possession of his mental powers
to the last. The body was afterwards
lifted out of the kiln by means of rope
and pulley. -P0rtland Tribune.

Since the confinement Of Daily 10 pris-
on, he has attempted to commit suicide. 49,
On Wednesday morning, between FIVE
and six o'clock, he was found in his cell
covered with blood, and completely ex-
hausted. Ii appeared that he had con-
cealed lancet in the lining OF his hat,
with which, when left alone, he had cut
his throat partly round, and had opened
the veins of his arms, his wrist, ankles
land thighs, so as to occasion the flow of a
large quantity of blood. A ply stefan
having staunched the blood, and bound up
the wounds, it is thought he will recover.
1t is said that Daily is not his real name,
and that he has been arrested before on a
similar charge. The fact that in his room
dark-lantern and some burglars tools
were found, indicates that this is not new
business to him.-Sabbah Recorder.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE METHODIST
GENERAL CoNFERENcE.-The interes-
ting and evenlful session of this Confer
ence has been brought 10 close, having
lasted five weeks. Their dongs have ex-
cited the deepest interest in the public
mind in all sections of the country. The
effect of those dongs upon Melhodism in
the South, and upon slavery itself, is yet
to be seen. We have already noticed the
decision of the Conference suspending
Bishop Andrews during his connection
with slavery, and the protest of the South.
ern members against the act. This pro.
test, its arguments and facts, were replied
to in report drawn by the learned and
distinguished DR.. Durbin, President of
Dickinson College, in behalf Of a CON-
mittee appointed by the Conference, (which
report, after somewhat heated debate
was on the last day of the session, spread
upon the journals by vote of ll6 to &c.
The Conference also proceeded 10 re-
scind a resolution adopted in lS4O declar.
ing it inexpedent TO permit colored per-
sons to give testimony in church trials
where such testimony is not allowed in
the civil courts.
The South being defeated upon every
point, made formal declaration that the
further jurisdiction of the General Con-
ference over the Southern Conference is
inexpdient, and measure was adopted by
a large vote. providing for a division al

should still deem it expedient
