Minutes of the 8. Il. Indiana con-

Minutes of the 3. T.. Indiana con-
ference.
Come at lastl Rev. Mr.. Eddy has
laid a copy on our table and we make
note or two thereon. They make a
neat looking pamphlet of 81 pages and
are published byJ. d. Defrees, DC.
The cause ofthe delay in their pub
LEGATION was not any neglect of the Sec
rotary, Rev. s. p. Crawford. His
Manuscript was in the printers hands
in due season. but the long detention
was caused by the Un-understandable
nature of the detailed missionary Re-
port" That was sent up by the Mis-
sionary Secretary, just as he received
the papers at Conference, and some Of
them were sadly out of sorts. If some
of the preachers only knew how mis-
erably their ill-arranged and chaotic
reports kept back the publication, and
how they made the compositors think
bad words, and with what contempt the
printers regarded their ability, they
would try and hereafter make intelligi-
bic and decent reports. The plan is
simple enough, and if they have not the
time or ability to do it themselves, let
them place the reports of their societies
in the hands of some sprightly young
man, or school-boy, with proper in
structions, and let him make up a re-
port for the printer. We hope the
officers of the Missionary Society will
hereafter, either publish the returns as
they receive them, to the dottlng of an
i. and the crossing of a {, or trow them
aside.
We have said the Minutes present a
neat appearance. So they Go. But
they contain large number of typo
graphical errors; such as should not
have escaped correction. For errors
in the detailed Report" there is some
apology. But We find them in matter
which must have been furnished by the
Secretaries. For instance, Bishor

prosecution was in the name of tho
State.
At the june term, 1851, of the board
of commissioners fSwitzerland county,
on the petition of 90 freeholders Of York
township in thatcounty, it was ordered
that one C. should have license to re-
tail spirituous liquor in Florence. in
said township, for year, upon his
paying Is dollars into the county treas
ury, and giving bond, DC, @. accor-
dinghy paid the treasurer that sum and
presented to the board the treasurer's
receipt therefor, aud also bond in the
penalty prescribed with sufficient
surety, conditioned according to the
statute; and thereupon moved for the
approval of the bond; but the boari
overruled the motion, on the ground
that they had reconsidered and set
aside the order granting license. and
had ordered that said sum paid by G.
to the treasurer should be refunded
Held, that the order of the board was
imperative. without any approval of
the board, and gave c. no authority to

power to set aside the order granting
the license, at any time before the APP

6TWe would call the attention of
Educators to the advertisement of Jacob
Ernst a. Co. on the next page. We
have used most Of the series of Robin
sons Mathematical course. and we hest.
tate not to say that for imparting a prac-
teal knowledge of Mathematics, we
never found superior series of books.
When we used them, they needed, gener-
ally, a careful revision, so as to correct
the typographical errors, but the design
of the books is inimitable. We confess
that II we wished to educate boy as
they did during the last century, merely
to make a scholars book worm--we
might select other books. but to make
practical surveyors, or nayigators, or en-
gineers, we would take Robinson works
as soon as the typographical errors are
corrected. This we believe has been
done in most of the books.

REWARD OFFEREp.--The outrageous and un-
provoked attack made, few days since, upon
Messrs. Grinnell, Green and Mitchell, by q
number of armed rowdies and rascals. has led
to the offering of q reward Of FIVE hundred dol
lars, by Leeds 8 Co., for the arrest and conyic-
ton Of the misereants. Here is an excellent
opportunity for the police of our city to show
their acumen and pocket very respectable
reward. The locality where the attack was
made can be pointed out; the frequenters of the
spot can be discovered; doubtless there are
many who know the perpetrators of the injury,
and tits probable that the sufferers could de-
scribe o portion of their assailants Thus a
great many threads can be acquired at the out
set, which, properly unrayeled, might lead to
a detection Of the guilty parties. 5.4=

The late English papers all speak of fine
weather and abundant harvests throughout the
whole of that country. The corn and wheat
especially are represented as unusually fine,
and in many places the latter was being cut.
Oats and hay, too, would yield largely, and the
only complaint is of the potato rot, but this is
far from general or very serious.
