Preliminary Sketch of the Early Meth
odist Appointments OIL Siad River
Circuit, and at DAYTON.

The first time that Mad River Circuit was
provided for with Methodist preachers, was
when the Western Conference met in Scott
County, Ky, October 2, 1906. Then there
were but seven hundred and ffty members
in the settlements on the two Miami Rivers,
and about the mouth of Mad River, over all
of which, as well as those on the Scioto, Mus
kingum and y,Kanawha, in Virginia, Rev.
William Burke was Presiding Elder. John
Meek and Abraham Amos were that year
travelling preachers on the Miami and Mad
Rivers. In 1906, Amos was assigned to Guy
andotte, and Meek to the Hooking settle.
ments, and John Thompson was the first
preacher allotted directly TO the Mad River
settlement. This event marks the growth of
the settlement, and of the success in the will
derness of the "new dspensaton."
1SO7-Adjet Mcclure and Isaac Quinn.
In this year the Western Conference was held
at Chillicothe. ..
1S0s-The Mad River labor had increased.
The appointments were T. Mllgan, ]. Da-
visson and W. Mitchell.
lSO9-Just fifty years ago-the Ohio Dis
trict was divided into Miami District, John
Sale Presiding Elder; and Muskingum Dis
trict, James Quinn Presiding Elder. ..
The laborers on the Mad River Circuit
were Hesekiah, Shaw, William Young and
Saul Henkle. The whole membership of
the circuit half a century ago was but eight
hundred and twenty-six; in the whole State
but seven thousand.
The first regular appointments to Cincinnati
were in this year = William Houston and
John Sinclair. 1S1O-Saul Henkle and Hector
Sandford. 1871 - Solomon Langdon was
Presiding Elder of Miami District, and the
only preacher at Mad River was John Cling
man--other circuits having been formed in the
neighborhood. 1912, Mad River and Xenia
comprehendcd one circuit-John Collins and
Moses Hume preachers. This year the Ohio
Conference was forme d--meeting at Chilli
cothe October /, 1872. A Scoto District was
formed-JameS Quinn Presiding Elder.
This sketch will be continued tomorrow.
Tho William Young, above referred to, was
young man born in Washington County, Va,
who entered the travelling connection in 1908,
at the conference at Liberty Hall, in Tennessee.
He is reported to have never Travelled cir
cult without revivals; but in the winter of
1911, while riding along the banks of tho Ohio
River, between Cincinnati and North Bend, he
caught cold, which affected his previously in
jured lungs. He died of consumption, July 20,
1872, under the following interesting circum-
stances. Three days before his death ho rode
half mile to ncwly laid out camp ground,
where the people had been adjusting theirtents,
and were waiting the service. He viewed the
tents, surveyed the stand, looked around on
the people, and burst into tears. Turning his
horse, he uttered those words "T am done
with those things now. I shall be at camp
meeting no more" His prophetic words
became history. He died before tho meeting
closed. ',. ..... f... ...

BEARS IN VIRGIyIA.-The bears are very
troublesome in Roanoke County, Va, this
season, and have committed great deprada-
tions on the corn, for which the farmers
have turned out cunning for them. A let
ter says:
Three or four have been killed OH Brad
shaws Creek, within the last two weeks, and
on last Saturday three were killed about three
miles from Lafayette; near Princes, on the
North Fork. w. G. Waskey, ESQ, shot q
very largo ono this morning, making the
number killed seven Or eight during the
space of three weeks. So frequently are they
seen, and so much excited has the neighbor
hood become in their anxiety to capture
them, that there is scarcely day passes
without some party being out in pursuit of
them. ..i.....

THE DIVORCE QUEsrIoN.--Our lawyers, says
an Indiana paper, do not think. that the de-
eision Of the New York Supreme Court, declar-
ing divorce granted in this State to parties
coming from that, on other grounds than
adultery, "inoperative and void,' good law.
The Constitution Of the United States, artiolo
Nv, section I, says that full faith and credit
shall be given in each State to the public acts,
records and judicial proceedings Of overy other
State. A decree Of divorce is "judicial pro-
ceeding," and it is difficult to see how it can
be set aside by the New York tribunal. If n
citizen of New York procures a divorce in In
diana and msrries a second time, he is liable
in New York to an action for bigamy. If he
obeys the New York law, which declares his
divorce imperative and void, and assumes
married relations with hts former wife, he is
liable in Indiana to action for adultery Per-
haps the dilemma in which he might be placed
is a just punishment for the offense of getting
the divorce in the first instance, but the opera
tion of the law in his case would bo funny in
the extreme.

The AP PEARANCE OF A CYCLoNE.-An officer
on board an English ship, describing q
cyclone in the Arabian Sea, says: -.
There seemed something inexplicably
strange in the appearance of nature. Heavy
masses of cloud tumbled and rolled about in
dire confusion, a calm fell suddenly, and the
air became thick and heavy, causing diff
ficulty in respiration. The sea, initiating
the clouds, rose in crested masses. The ship
became inundated with numbers of beauti-
full butterflies, and many species of sea birds
crowded the deck, and lay with dropping
wing, completely exhausted; some even en-
tered tho cabin.''

ADyERrIsEMENrs.--I 1t has long been mat
ter OF surprise to US that men of certain pro-
LESSONS and trades nsyer take advantage of
advertising to make their merits or the
merits of their wares known to the public.
How much benefit might accrue to them
selves and publishers generally? Lawyers
are in this particular quite too modest. The
illustrious disciples of Galen make no bones
of telling the world the virtue of their me-
dicines. Mason and Martin might have lived
in perjury unknown, had they not sung the
praises of their "unequalled backing. We
are inclined to think that the science of adj
vertising is yet in its infancy, though few
illustrious spirits have fleaped like light
ming out of darkness, and illuminated the
newspapers and the world with a brilliant
play of their genius. The following is re-
commended as a new and more attractive
style for fast going members Of the legal fra
ternity: ~ -

Ii YOU find man disposed to complain OF
the GOODNESS of the world, be sure that he
has never brought any thing into the world
to warm it, but is personal lump of. ice set
in the midst of it. Ifyou find man who
complains that the world is all base and
hollow, tap him, and he Will probably sound
base and hollow And so, in the other way,
kind man will probably find kindness
everywhere about him. The merciful man,
as general thing, will obtain mercy. He
who has always had kind excuse for Others,
who has looked at the brightest side Of the
case, he who has rendered his pardon and
his help whenever he gould, who has never
brought his fellowman into any strait by
reason of not helping him, will find that the
mercy which he has bestowed flows back up
on him in a fun and spontaneous spring. He
will lake mereifui world by the mercy he
himself shows.

TIE Harper's Ferry Rebeylion.-The meet
ing held in Boston on Saturday evening col
Iected upwards of four hundred dollars for
the benefit of John Browns family. The
New York Courier thus sounds warning to
to all traitors:
"If Brown is really sape, Governor Wise
has duty to perform from which he may
not and dare not shrink; and that is, TO hang
Byoapn, be the consequences what they may
If Governor Wise, believing Brown to be
sane, interposes in his behalf the pardoning
power, be will not only do great wrong
to virginia and to the whole country, but he
would, in the sightof God, be guilty OF per-
jn,y in neglecting faithfully to administer
the laws OF the commonwealth over Whlch
he pl esides. If Brown be sane,a then re Is
both traitor and murderer, aud-his life is
not onlv forfeited to the offended laws OF the
land, but the payment Of the forfeitis I'M
periously demanded by every consideration
Of expectancy and patriotism. The cry Of
disuniun is again heard; and whoever at
tennis to dissolve this Uunion becomes
traitor and forteits his life to the law. Let
all traitors suffer alike. Whatever the
evils OF slavery, the remedy OF the abolition
ist is a still greater evil, because 1t is trea-
son; and 50 it is treason to attempt dlSTup
ton OF lnlS OulouJ p6teHS Pa C'S' "A"N ~

let tho lesson thus inculcated be a.warning
to all traitors against theperpetuty OF our
Union" -,
Mayor Wilson, of Wheeling, Va, has been
officially advised from headquarters, to
prepare to repel any indication of invasion.
This is done in view of the recent excitement
at Charlestown. The commanding officers
commanding of the militia at Wheeling have
also received orders to organize, and all the
companies are to be armed and equipped for
active duty.
Jason Brown, of Sumnit county, Ohio,
son of Capt. Brown, has written a letter to
Gov. Wise, asking in case his father shall
be executed-that the body be sent to Ohio
for burial, or be delivered to the friends. +
During Governor Wise's interview with
the condemned insurgents, the other day,
Brown declared himself prepared to die. He
justified his course, only regretting bis error
in not allowing the train to pass without in
corruption. Cook said he was willing to be
shot, but always had a great repugnance to
hanging. Governor Wise said that Coppee
was the only one that he had ever thought
ofcommuting,b but he had now determined to
hang them all. .h
