New HAMPSHIRE NJ. +, CONFERENCE, AT WIN
cREsTER.--We attended the Methodist Conference at
Winchester, N. H. last Sunday. Though it was only
for the State of New Hampshire there were more than
one hundred ministers present. There were several
from other States visitors three who had been Mis-
sionaries in South America and Rev Mr. Lee so long
known as the Pioneer Missionary in Oregon were among
tie Clergy from abroad. Most ofthe time was taken up
in transacting the business of the Conference. But
Sunday day interesting all. Early in the morn
ing, services held in the Church-such as Love
Feast &c. At 10 o'clock the Conference together
with something like two thousand perhaps three thou.
sand people of Winchester and vicinity repaired to
grove a steep declivy of a hill in the rear of the
Methodist church. Rev DR. James preached beautiful
and eloquent Sermon and ordained some twelve or If
teen Deacons ian order among the olergy) Att l-2 p
NJ, Rev Noah Levns, d. D., preached discourse that
seemed to take admirably with the multitude. Miller
ism and Universasm pretty severely handled For
our own part, we much preferred the style of Bishop
James his sermon deeply mbued with evangelical
piey and the largest philanthropy, and we know not
when we have heard sermon clothed with more chaste
and beautiful language. The only fault in his manner
was his naturally feeble voice. II might have sounded
well in honse but his efforts to make himself heard
by the vast assembly outodoors rendered the sound Of
his voice rather unpleasant. DR. Levns is from New
York. He is now Bishop James in the office
of Financial Secretary of the American Bible Society
At the close Of the afternoon SERVICE number were
ordained Elders. At 5, p NJ Mr. Lee gave an account
of the state of affairs in Oregon in the Congregational
church. This did not attend having become sufi.
ciently fatgued by the outdoor service. At T. p M
heard in the Methodist church most eloquent dis
course from Rev j. Dempster, A. M, of the State Of
New York. He has been Missionary at Buenos Ayres
but designs connecting himself with the New Eng
land Methodsts, in order to become a Professor in a
Theological Institution to be located somewhere in the
central part New England
At these Conferences the Anniversaries of the various
Benevolent Societies celebrated and we are told
that they usually very interesting
The singing in the grove thought very good
Though it toritten in the Carmina Sacra il seem
ed to quite whether il was mainly owing to the
locus in quo, the rnodus in quo, prepared
to say We understood that the appointments of the
Preachers were to be gwen out at the Close of the
Conference, which was probably last Wednesday.
We noticed that the ordination service was similar
to that of the Episcopal church The laying on o
hands, reading the CHARGE and the prayer remind
ed us of the Episcopal service, of which we have al
ways been great admirer. ttt

DIED


In this village, on the morning of the Goth ult,
Mrs. M. G. s. DIcKERMAN, wife of DR.. VIM. A.
Dickerman, and daughter Of DR.. Nathaniel Smith,
formerly of this town, aged "a years
When we are called to part with those in the de-
cline of life whom we have long and dearly loved,
we are deeply oppressed with sorrow, and to give
them up is haId though their pilgrimage has been
long and arduous. But when, as now, we call
ed to weep at the fall of one, summoned, even in
the halcyon days OF youthful liie to the world of
spirits feel far keener grief, and unassisted by
calm reliance on the goodness Of God, are disposed
to murmur at his dealings. But in the hope of
meeting in brighter and better world, the objects
of our love, we find consolation and balm for the
bleeding heart. Mrs Dckerman, though not
professor of religion, was, through her whole life
deeply impressed by deep and sincere love for the
Savior and profound respect for the Christian faith.
In early life she INDUCED hopes OF her conversion,
and though advised on account other youthfuness,
not to unite with the church at that time, yet she
maintained to the time of her death, a consistent
course of Christian life; though still prevented from
publicly uniting with the people of God, from a
natural mstrust in the feelings of her heart. She
was in the habit Of daily perusing the holy scrip
tures and ofsuppcating the forgiveness and bless
ings Of God upon herself and those she loved and
on the day before her death, requested several Of
her friends separately, as they were taking leave
Of her, to kneel by her bedside and pray. Seldom
do we commit one universally esteemed and loved
10 grave so honored though so early.
"Leaves have their time TO fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind 3 breath,
And stars to set--but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o Death"
Also, on the evening of 3lst ult, Maria Car
olne, infant daughter Of DR.. VIM. A. Dickerman,
aged weeks.

very destructive fire occurred in Quebec,
on Wednesday, the Goth ult. A large portion
Of the city was then reduced 10 ashes, and ten
thousand persons made houseless
From Quebec Letter, May %, +. M.
"'rhe Quebec Gazette will not be published
to-day, the hands being all absent at the fire
which occurred at Mr. Richardson's Tannery
in Valier's suburbs, about noon, and has al
ready spread over nearly all st Roch Suburbs.
A population Of about ten thousand souls will
be without house or home tonight, having
lost almost every thing; so rapidly were the
flames driven by a strong westerly wind, among
houses mostly OF wood. Fortunately shower,
which has Just fallen, will prevent the fire from
taking on The single roofs, in st Paul street,
and the Lower Town--the sparks being car
ried quite over to the river and along the RAM
parts.''
We learn from other sources, that when the
fire commenced, the wind was westerly, but a
bout Que O'Clock shifted, carrying the flames in
an opposite direction, and in line with the
general Hospital; in one hour all the streets on
the right towards the city, were consumed, as
far as the Queens Wood Yard, including the
block of houses on the south, and as far as
Clearihue's bakery. Half an hour more, and
ST Charles street, north and south, st Paul's
Market and the square, were commemorative
fire extended to McCallum's brewery, including
Lloyd & Lepper's, Dining s. Co.'s, and Nc
Callum's whaves.
AT half past four the fire continued to rage,
the wind blowing from the norheast--the
houses inside the Palace Gate, including the
Engineers Office, Artillery Barracks, in immi-
uent danger--the Powder Magazine by no
means safe, and burning shingles being thrown
into ST John street.
We have not heard of any lives being lost,
but the misery which must ensue from so dread

The Quebec Fire, on the 9Sth ut., appears
TO have been Of the most disastrous character.
Not less than 10000 people suffered by ii, and
the most of them poor people. The houses
destroyed and injured were about l,s00.--
| Twelve bodies had been dug from the ruins on
the 30th, and many persons were missing
Two Methodist churches were destroyed, and
the Palace, which was the residence Of the In
PENDANTS, in which were many sick persons, Ia
ken there for safety, Who persisted in the
flames. The loss of property is immense, and
the insurance not more than $4,000. The
distress by the fire is almost unprecedented.
