TnE METHODIST EPISCOPAL AND THE METHODIST
PROTESTANT CuURCuEs OF VlRGNIA.-On Thursday
last in the Virginia Conference of the Methodist
| Episcopal Church, DIR. Smith, from the Committee
| to respond to the address from the Messenger of
the Methodist Protestant Church, (Dr. DcGwgan, J
presented report and series Of resolutions which
were laid over for consideration,
The report sets forth that there is a strong and
| mutual desire for union between the two branches
| of the Methodist family in the South-that the
cause OF the former alterations have, to great ex-
tent, been removed by what has since transpired =
that the still existing attachment of the Methodist
Prote stants to their system of lay delegation is the
only remaining barrier on their part, and the ex-
tent to which the NJ. E.. Church, South, may be
willing to remove it, the committee are unable to
say. The report points to the system of lay opera
ton, which. to a considerable extent has already
been established in the Virginia Conference, and
the growing tendency in the direction, as
facts which would perhaps justify such expectations
on the part OF the Protestant Methodist, as to af
ford them present satisfaction. If they should be
content to act the basis of these facts and expec
tations, they will be gladly responded to; if they
have any distinct proposition to submit, and for
which the assent of the General Conference NAV be
| necessary, the Virginia Conference will in accord
ance with its declared sentiments, and desire for
this Methodist union, give efforts for the promotion
fthe object on fair ond just terms.

EDWIN FoRREsT.-A report that the Forrest di-
vorce case has come to a final end has obtained wide
circulation, and is by mary believed; but there is no
truth in the statement. The Superior Court has
decided that pending the trial, Mr.. Forrest shall
pay to Mrs. Forrest, that was, three thousand dol
lars per annum. 1t seems, however, that there is
still chance that this monstrous decision NAV be
reversed, and that Forrest may yet get Justice as
the case, we understand is to have another hearing
in December, before the Superior Court. Failing
there, Forrest will carry it to the Court of Appeals
on exceptions, for a new trial. As Forrest one day
remarked, "there is tnaIity to the law till they
hang man" His counsellors, John Van Buren
and James 7. Brady, have strong faith in procur-
ing justice for Forrest finally in new trial. If a
new trials had, there is no doubt in the public
mind as to the resut.-Bo8ton Post, NoU. 2S.

From the Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday.
n DAD DIsAPPoINTMENT.-1 Wife kept from Join
lMg her H"s0dnd.-PersOns who were at the depot
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Eleventh
ana Market streets, on Wednesday evening last,
witnessed curious scene-a mother and father
preventing daughter from taking the train in or
der to join her husband at st. Louis. The wife
has, for some time, been separated from her hus-
pand on account of alleged improprieties on his
part, and the lady and her two children have been
residing with her mother and father in this city
whlle the husband started for St. Louis from which
Piace ne wrote to his wife to meet him. Nothing
o.n, , tie wlIe made her preparations, and as she
khe" Ier parents to be opposed to the reconcilia-
ton, she was quiet and secret in all ber move
ments. Money was, of course, the principal oh.
lect needed to carry out her purpose, and. accord
ingly, She helped herself to sum that was laid
away by her father. With this she procured
clothing and other articles to be taken to ST. Louis
to assist her and her husband in going to house
keeping.
Everything was getting along swimmingly, and
the journey was looked upon as accomplished,
until, unfortunately for the lady, she was made
the victim of another's blunder. On Wednesday
afternoon, as the last item of her purchases, she
bought, In Spring Garden street, a bonnet, giving
IN payment $40 note, out of which she was to
nave received 81 change. Instead of this sum being
handed to her, the milliner gave the whole of the
$40 in small change, retaining nothing for the
bonnet. The mistake was not discovered until an
hour after the lady left the store, and then the
AAiAA|iy having SdJuSTtu from ner customer ler
name and proposed place of destination, hunted
up directory, and thus found several persons OF
the name given, and she started on a tour of dis.
covery. After visiting one or two places which
did not prove to be right, she at last hit upon the
mother of the lady, who at suspected that her
daughter meditated fight. She at once noticed
that she had not been home all day, and it was ar
ranged that the eleven o'clock train for Pittsburg
should be watched.

house, was called upon to act as "scare crow"
lno criminal charge had been made against the
LADY, and with several friends, well as strangers
who desired to witness the discontinue OF the lady
who was flying to meet her husband, the party
started for the depot, and 4 short time before the
train was ready to start, the desired person made
her appearance with her children and trunks
W hen she saw the party assembled to greet her.
her joyous look gave way to one of despair, and,
without word OF complaint, she accompanied her
parents home, voWing at the same time, that she
would yet be off to join her husband, who, no mat,
ter what his faults might be, had always been kind
and attectionate to her and the children. The mis-
take in regard to the purchase of the bonnet was
altogether unknown to the lady, she being for the
hrst time, at the depot aware of the fact that too
