An important change is being dis
cussed among the Methodist people in
regard to their church government and
the itinerancy of their ministers. The
Layman's Association of the Cincin'
natl Conference, recently in session.
resolved that it would conducc to the
welfare of the whole church so to
change the present system as to allow
of lay representation in the general
and other conferences. They object
to being SO exclusively governed by
the ministers. They further say that
the good of their children, the church
and the world loudly calls for a more
intimate relation between pastor and
people, which can only be obtained by
more protracted stay Of the pastor
with the people.

The effect of the war news on the
American markets has been very ex-
citing. In New York the prices OF
Wheat and Flour took an upward
bound. The spirit Of speculation was
rife, transactions large, and the figures
reached the war mark. But later
news has lowered these prices. Wheat,
which in Chicago went up to $40, is
now down to $I,25.

The Southern Convention assembled
at Nicksburg on the / 18th inst. Eight
States only were represented which
shows the Indifference, if not the dis
favor with which very many of the
leading Southern statesmen regard
these annual gatherings. Charles
Clark, of Mississippi, was chosen
President. Mr., Spratt, of South Caro-
lima offered resolutions in favor of re.
opening the slave trade. Gov. Foote
denounced Spratt's sentiments as trca.
son, and read the laws of ten States
prohibiting the slave trade. He
thought that it was the duty Of the
Government to acquire Cuba, and to
gain a preponderancc on the lsthmus
and also advocated resistance to the
rule of Republican President.

Millions of acres of the richest prai-
rie soil are now lying unbroken in
Iowa. Almost every farmer has a
piece which he could break up and
SOW in wheat, and our advice to every
farmer in the State who has a piece OF
unbrokcn prairie is to break it up
or as much as he can Of it the present
summer, and SOW it in wheat next
spring. He who does this, will, in al
probability, be richly rcmuncratcd
Let this suggestion be duly considered.

ed to he persons having civil rights to prop

Of course defnats action has not YET been taken
