A STEP FoRwARp.-A bill has been
introduced in the House of Lords by
Lord Attenham abolishing imprison-
ment for debt, under any circumstan-
ces. His lordship was loudly cheered
throughout his speech, and, as Lords
Lyndhurst, Brougham, Cambell, and
the Duke of Richmond, spoke in favor
Of the bill; it will undoubtedly pass by
an almost unanimous vote. We trust
that the time is not far distant when all
laws which punish poverty as crime.
will be wiped from the statute books
Of all civilized nations. Then the line
between fraud and inability will become
better defined.

Haaricane-Loss OF Life, and Des-
trucfion OF Property. On Wednes-
day evening last, one of the mes. des-
tructive hurricanes, or whirlwinds,
with which our country has ever been
visited, passed through our Territory
a little north of this place. carrying
death and desolation with it. The
morn of that day was as pleasant as
usual, very gentle breeze playing with
the leaves, and a cloud occasionally
shutting the sun from view; but in the
afternoon, dark, angry looking cloud,
covering the whole northeastern hori-
zon, seemed TO stand still, while from
the south very severe gale was con-
stantly blowing. As alta signal, the
cloud started from the position it had
so long maintained, and in few mo-
ments the rain was pouring down in
torrents, and so continued for go or 80
minutes when it ceased, and about this
time, after very short calm strong
gale was blowing in the opposite direc-
ton from which it came before. But
this was not the place for its horrors.
We have learned but few particulars,
and they truly melancholy. AT about
o'clock, whirlwind, ranking space
of half-a-mile in width, passed thro'
Centre, or Randalps Grove, about l2
miles above this place, with such force
as to tear down the dwelling of Mr.
Randall, built Of heavy logs, killing
Mrs. Randall instantly and seriously
injuring her son, young man of22
or 90 years ofage. We also learn that
within few miles Of Upton, Cedar
county, the residence of Mr.. Nudge,
1--WE believe that to be The name,) was
blowed TO the ground, dangerously
wounding Mr.. NJ, and injuring four or
five Of his family. In its course it tore
down five or six houses in the same
Vicinity, and left neither tree nor fence
standing behind it. 1t crossed tho
Mississippi few miles above Cordovia,
HIS, tearing down barn, unroofng a
residence, and twisting of trees at tho
ground, but without the loss Of life, we
believe.
What destruction was done between
these points, or how far il extended,
we know not, but fear it is great, and
many lives have been lost. A hotel
at Moline, at the head of Rock Island,
ILL.,, was struck by lightning, injuring
four or five persons. Il Bloomington

Methodist General Conference

Methodist General Conference
The debate which commenced two
weeks ago in this Conference, on the
subject Of Slavery, as it is connected
with that church by the marriage of
one of lis Bishops, has been pursued
every day Of its session with great
frankness and spirit. In its present
form it was rather question of disci-
pline, than of abstract morality, their
Episcopal regulations forbidding slave
holding to a Bishop. The question
has been met in various forms, and the
Episcopacy unanimously Recommend
ed its further postponement until the
next General Conference. On Satur-
day last a resolution passed the Con-
ference, virtually deposlng Bishop
Andrew from cfhic, by vote of 10
to 6S. The Southern delegates pro-
posed TO enter protest, but in its
stead they introduced on Monday two
resolutions, declaring the vote OF Sat-
nrday as advisory only, and not man
datory, and also posponing the final
disposition of the case to the Cnnfer-
ence oflS4S. The resolutions were
laid on the table by vote of rs to 6s.
DR.. Capers then presented plan for
dividing the church into two General
Conferences, the Northern and South
ern, each to possess equal powers: on
motion of DR.. Bangs. of N. Y, the
plan was referred to Committee Of Z
with instructions to report. The re-
suit, so long anticipated, is still sus-
pended upon the Recommendation Of
the Committee.-[N. y. Paper.

FoNp pU LAC COUNTY,
DOMAIN OF THE WISCONSIN PHALANx.
May 81, 1874.
Mr.. SHoLEs-We left Southport on
Monday the Goth inst, and arrived on
the proposed domain, without accident,
on Saturday last, at o'clock p. M.
This morning, (Monday) the first
BUSINESS was to divide into two COM
panies, one for finding the survey
stakes, and the other for removing the
tent over TO the ground designed for
building and gardening purposes.
Eight men with Ok teams and cattle
arrived between 9 and 10 A. NJ. AT
ter dinner the members all met in the
tent and proceeded toa regular organi-
cation; Mr.. Chase being in the chair
and Mr.. Rounds, Secretary.
A prayer was offered expressing
thanks for our safe protection and arri-
val, and invoking The divine blessing
for our future peace and prosperity.
The list of resident members was call
ed, being l9 in number and divided
themselves into two series, viz: Agri-
cultural and mechanical. each appoint
ing a foreman, also miscellaneous
group of laborers, under the supervis-
lon of the resident directors.
A letter was read by request of the
members from Peter Johnson, a men,
Der Of the Board of Directors, relating
to the general well being of the mem
bers in their general department one TO
the other, and reminding them of their
obligation to their Creator.
The Agricultural series are TO COM
mence ploughing and planting to-mor-
row, and the mechanical to excavate
cellar and prepare for the erection ola
frame building, 90 #. by 90. it,, which
is designed as central wing for build
ing 2a #. by leo. There are 10 men
and one boy now on the domain: the
stock consists Of 54 head OF cattle large
and small, including s yoke Of oxen and
8 span of horses. More men are ex-
pected during the week and others are
prepared to come this summer; fami-
lies will be here as soon as the building
can be sufficiently advanced to accom-
modate them.
A few words in regard TO the do
main. There is stream, which from
its clearness we have denominated
chrystal creek; it has sufficient fall and
water supplied by springs for one or
two mill seats; it runs over bed OF
lime stone, which abounds here, and
can be had convenient for fences and
building; there is a good supply OF
prairie and timber. Every member is
well pleased with the location, and also
the arrangement for business. Up to
this time, no discordant note has sound
eL in our company.
We have begun without a debt,
which is source Of great satisfaction
to each member, and we are certain OF
success, provided that the same union
prevails which has hitherto, and the
company incur no debt by loan or
otherwise, for the transaction of BUSH
ness. We expect to be prepared this
sum mer or fall to issue the prospectus
of a paper to be published on the
ground.
NV attention is called another way
and must close for the present

RELIGION-WHAT is 1T!
By BISHOP HesER.


Is 10 20 to church to-day,
To look devoui and seem to Pray,
And ere ,o.morrow's sun COOS down
Be dealing SANDER through the town!
Does every sanc,imonious face
Denote the certain reign Of grace.
Does not phiz that scowls at sin
Oft veil hypocrisy wiihinl
Is it 10 make our daily walk,
And Of our own good deeds TO talk,
Yet often practice secre, crime.
And thus mis.sperd our Precious ,imel
Is il for sect and creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule of RICH,
When what we wish is, at the best,
To see our Church excel tie rest!
Is it TO wear the Christian dress.
And love 10 all mankind profess.
To treat with scorn the huwble poor,
And bar against them every door!
Oh, no, religion means not this:
Its fruit more sweet and fairer is
Its precept this : to others do
As you would have them do 10 you.
1t grieves TO hear an i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport
OF others deeds i. speaks no i'll,
But tells Of good or else keeps still.
And does religion this impart!
Then may its influence fill my heart;
Oh! haste the blissful, joyful day,
When all the earth may own its sway;
