New York Annual Melhsdist Conference.

New York Annunl MethsdisG Conference.
The Slavery question was debated in the
New York Conference of the n. E Church,
for several DAYS, and was brought to a close by
a vote On the substitute resolutions offered by
the Rev. Wm. H. Ferris. The resolutions
were lost by the close vote Of SO to 81. Two
or three more votes would have e. Tied the
question for those who believe that " slave
holding for meTcenaTy or selfish purposes is
sinful, and should exclude the STAKEHOLDER from
the fellowship of the Church. The Erie Res
olutiOns, which call upon the General Confer
ence to so change the Rule Of Discipline that
all slaveholding shall be cruise for excOmmuDi-
cation-were then negatived by the decisive
vote of 1913 to 4s. The same question will
come up in the Geueral Conference at Buffalo
in May.
The following Delegates were elected to the
BufFlo General Conference the Rev. Drs. D.
W. Clark, John McCIintock, A. NJ. Osborn,
Revs r. Griffin, N. D. C. Crawford, VIM. H.
Ferris, and Dr. Joseph HoIdFidge. MessFs.
Griffin, McClinioclr, Osborn and Holdridge are
conservative on the Slavery question, while
Messrs. Clarke, Crawford and Ferris are pro-
gressives, and will vote for change Of the
Rule at the Buffalo Conference. Two more
delegates remain to be chosen.
The Committee on Temperance reported
strongly in favor of total abstinence, and
introduced 8 resolution recommending the
enactment of strict prOhibitOry law, One
clause was adverse to the use of lager beer
The report and resolution were adopted.

Jones' Bust Of the Hon. Thomas EVving.

Few States can present such living Men for
the Artist to model from as CHASE and EwINo,
and we are glad to learn by the Lancaster Eagle
that the di,tinguished Sculptor, Mr. 7. D.
JoEEs, whose bust Of Gov. CHASE is so much
admired, has nearly completed his model for
the bust Of Hon. THoAAs EwNe. The Eagle
says:
An hours social chat with Jones is good
specific for the blues, as all who know his
q peniai nature aud fine social qualities, will
well appreciate, and LheTeuntO can testify, but
the greater attraction for visitor at his room,
is a desire to see the great masterpiece of his
art, that magical creation which has been
growing under his plastic hand into an almost
living, breathing, moving copy of the great
original
We do not affect taste for art, We arc far
from possessing any of the fine sInsibilities,
cultivated tastes, or Dice perceptions of the
true and beautiful, which would entitle us to
criticize great work Of art, but we do know
right well that a finer specimen of man phys
ically, more massive, imposing head, or a
more marked, expressive and intellectual face
than is beheld in Ewing cannot be found in
America, and that the artist has seized and
copied not only the mere physical and material
part of his great subject, but has made the IN
animate clay to bear the expression that intel
lect and soul have stamped upon the features
Of the original The clay itself seems illu-
mined by mind, as if some great thought were
flashing through and over and about it and
snimating it.
Thus far only can our criticism go, there
stands in its natural commanding attitude the
grand head Of the "Old Salt Boiler the won
derful finger of genius has touched it with life
it seems clay no longer, but the living orig
inal.
The Bar of Ohio will thank Mr.. Jones mos
heartily for so truly and well executing 1T
commission There was a fitness in the Sc
lecting of an Ohio Sculptor standing in th'
front rank Of artists, to perpetuate in marble
the features of Ohio's greatest lawyer

In the U. S. Senate on the 10th, vote on
Mr. Browns resolution, declaring it to be the
duty Of the General Government 70 legislate for
the protection Of slavery in the Territories, was
postponed until after the meeting Of the Charles

thoroughly discussed BY the Democratic MEM

USEFUL ORTHoGRAPHICAL RULE.-
Among the other difficulties of English
orthography is the relative position Of
4 and e il words ending in sieve" and
"eive" and in both manuscript and
print are seen "believe'' and "beleive,"
''receiye" and i" recieve," 'sreprieve''
and ''repreive." The writer was some
what SURPRISED on being told not long
since by foreign lady, who was
taught English in Holland, that there
was rule regulating the position Of
all such words and as it was new to
him, and so far as he has been able to
discover, new to every one, he thinks
it may prove useful to give it pub
licity. -,s.a -.a..
When the preceding consonant is

The rule is invariable as applied to

A RABBIT BABY.--One of the most singular
freaks of nature we have read for long
time, occurred in neighboring town Of
York lately, the particulars of which are
given in one of the papers of that place as
follows:
"a married lady give birth to child, pos
sessing, gener lily, the forms and whins Of
rabbit. II features bore a close resem-
blance thereunto and and at the hind part
of the head there was short stumpy tail,
precisely in immitation of the small pet an
imal. The child squeaked the notes of the
rabbit. 1t was so formed that it could par
take of no nourishment; and during the
five weeks of its career on earth. it was nee
essary to pour, gently, a little milk down its
throat 1t had but little flesh, AID that
blue, resembling that of the innocent quad
ruped to which species it might have been
classified to belong, instead of tie human
family. After much suffering spasm end
ed it's existence These remarkable features
and gestures of this child, are to be account
ed for from the fact that the mother, while
enciente, repeatedly fondled and caressed
several pet rabbits, kept in the house. -

reports of the Kansas difficulties. l adjure

Williams, who has so deceived the public. is
a frightened old dotard, unworthy of cred
ence. His Court has not been molested !;
Fort Scott has not been attacked; Paris, or
any other place, has not been sacked ;
Montgomery party has not entered Missou-
ri, and never intended to; not one cent has
been given him, or his men, from recent
Eastern contributions; no arms or munitions
have been sent them, as reported. All their
arms have been in the Territory for years,
and challenge contrary proof. All such
sta ements as Williams has made are vile
fabrications, that are doing our people in
finite wrong Letthe public charge it either
to his malice or ignorance. 1t is admitted,
however, that exciting events are upon US.
