to its holy teachings, which recommend us
to do unto all men, as we would have them
do unto us; therefore,
Resolued, That the delegates of our confer
ence, to the next General Conference he, and

fort to procure statutory rule in our book

End. No person shall be permitted to pur-
chase slave or slaves, but for the purposes
of immediate emancipation; and failing to do

deemed Shareholder and accordingly ex-
PEELED.
Sd. And members of our church, who now
own slaves, or shall hereafter, by any means
whatsoever, become owners of slaves, shall
be required at the earliest possible practicable
time, to emancipatc them, and the rule shall
set forth the time that shall be given for such
emancipation, and any person failing to COM
ply with this rule, shall be expelled from the
church.
A CRAsH.--Two frail wooden tenements on
Third street near jackson were 'let down a
peg" in the world, yesterday morning. By
the new grade Of the street they were left
"high and dry" and it was deemed neeessa-
ry to excavate underneath them in order to
lower them to the present level Through
some carelessness of the wofksaen the sup
porting timbers were not properly secured,
and down they came. Six worklnen with
a horse and cart were underneath at the time
the movement commenced, but all escaped
unhurt, save the cart, which was caught and
crushed to atoms at the outer edge of the
dead-fall. Several persons were in the build
lngs at the time, but fortunately no one was
injured. One was occupied by Mr.. Hyneman
as clothing store and the other by Mrs. Low
as a furnishing store. The goods were very
little damaged, although the buildings re-
semble the finishing up of an earthquake,
and are rendered entirely worthless,
