General Conference OF the m. u. Church.
In May, the General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for the North
will be held in Buffalo. 1t will bo one of
the most important conventions ever held,
as we understand the slavery question is to
be agitated There will no doubt be
large amount of excitement, if the question
is started in the phase it is intended to be,
!. e., no member of the Methodist Episco-
pal denomination is justifiable in holding
slaves, and although he may bo mere
member, and own them, yet it incapacitates
him from being an elder, class leader, or
minister. Another important question that
will be brought into the Convention, proba-
bly,, will be that of Lay Representation
both in the General and State Conferences.
The membership of the denomination arc
beginning to claim their right to share in
the delibeations and decisions of these bod
les whose action become yearly more i'm
portant and extended.

A AFAoT.-An editor speaking of the bad
literature of the present day, says:
"You may read in many of the eastern
weekles for year, and scarcely find fact
which will make you wiser or better-all
fiction, romances, lies, velvet feathers, little
fiends equipped in smiles aud crinoline; big
scoundrels in epaulets, with moustache,
turning the hearts of simpering maidens;
the every day histories of life ingeniously
belied and genteely outraged. And yet it
always ends beautifully. Hundreds ofper-
sons who think they can't afford TO take
their home paper, in the course of the year
spend three or four times the amount in
h this trash"

JOHN BELL, Charm.
l. NJ. KELLER, Sec'y.

The Tri5une's Washington correspon-
dent of the 23d, in reference to the capture
of the Mexican Steamers, says:
"The Cabinet had protracted sitting
to-day, at which the capture of the Mexican
steamers and prisoners before Vera Cruz,
was much discussed. The Administration
is still greatly perplexed how to extricate
itself from this difficulty. If charge of
piracy be sustained, two hundred prisoners
must be hung. If not, then our officers
committed n wanton act of war.
"In all the statements of this affair, made
on our side, for the Mexican version has not
yet been received, it is alledged that the
reason why Capt Turner fired shot ahead
of Marin's steamers was because he refused
to show his colors. The collision occurred
by moonlight, and it is well known that no
man-of-war hoists his flag after night, thus
destroying the only pretext upon which
this belligerent act was professedIy justified.
Besides, both of Marin's steamers were at
anchor when attacked"

PRINTING PRESSES.

The first printing press in our town was
brought by David Smith, and put in opera
ton in July, 1929. Smith edited and
printed it. 1t was a weekly, 81 by IL
inches, when entirely spread out this was
the exact measurement Of the printed mat
ter. 1t was called the Lower Sandusky
Gazette. This editor and publisher was a
guttinous, pale, thin, lazy, slip-shod speci-
men of humanity. He always wore his
shoes down at the heel and with ragged
socks. His wood-pile was out doors and it
was chopped up By himself and bis fire re-
plenished whenever the Office temperature
approached the freezing point. On one oc-
casion having no wood chopped, and his fire
being nearly out, he went out with his heels
bare, as usual, and they froze before he
could get wood enough to start his fire.
After this they remained too sore to be
clothed with socks for long time. From
the date Of this fatal accident, the paper
began TO decline, and finally died at the
infantile age of about le months.
Next, or second in order, came the Low
er Sandusky Times, edited and published
by Alvin G. White II was commenced 10
June or July, 1887, and hasbeen continued
till this time, though tho press and name
have been changed. 1t may be considered
the foundation of the Fremont JOURNAL.
The third paper in our town was the
Sandusky County Democrat, started by a
joint stock company of live Democrats in
the Fall Of the year 1887, and has contin-
ued ever since; being now one of the insti-
tutions Of the place.
Next came the Democratic Messenger,
established 10 the early part of the year
1856, and still continued.
Next, the present German paper; estab-
lished about one year ago.
