Erroneous.
ALBANY, June 14.-In dispatch forward
ed on Saturday night, il was stated that
the rinderpest and pleuro pneumonia had
made its appearance in New York, and had
been so officially announced by the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the New York State
Agricultural Society. The statement was
erroneous. The officers named announced
the appearance of Pleuro pneumonia, but
not rinderpest, a disease Of cattle ENTIRELY Y
different in nature. The rinderpest has
not appeared in this country so far as the
knowledge Of the officers named extend,
and it is confidently expected we shall es-
cape the scourge.

The Convention was the largest and
most interesting ever held in the State.
The exercises throughout the session were
characterized by the greatest earnestness
and zeal. All seemed desirous that no.
thing should be left undone which could
in any way promote the interests of Sab
bath schools. In the discussions not a
moment was allowed to run to waste.
Sometime a score were on their feet when
the floor was vacant, each with word to
offer. In the speeches there was no attempt
at display or oratory, esch going at once
to the heart of the subject, stating con-
cisely his peculiar view. and then giving
place TO another. Led on by such vet
erans in the Sunday School work as
Moody, Chidlaw, Prentiss, Wolfe and
Olds, these debates could not fail to be in
teresting and profitable. and the dele
gates viii go to their homes inspired with
new energy and fervor. no
There was the greatest harmony and
unity of action between the different de-
nominations represented, and the great
object of the Convention, that of securing
real genuine Sabbath School Union,
which should embrace all evangelical
churches, may be considered accomplish
ed. Much of the success of the Conven-
ten is due Hon. C. n. Olds and c. d.

Associated Press Report.
From New York.
Consolidation.


NEW YORK, June 1.-The American and
Western Union Telegraph Companies are
about concluding an agreement OF union
which amounts TO a consolidation of their
interests. The public demand for prompt
and uninterrupted trans ission of messages
renders it indispensable to get rid Of all de-
lays in checking and booking from one line
TO another. The new consolidation will con
troll and operate over one hundred and four
miles of telegraph wire, covering all the
territory aud connecting all points of i'm
pOrtance from New FOundland to San Fran
cisco and Van Couvers' Islands. From the
latter point line 1900 miles in length to
st. Petersburg, will be done within a yeBr
Cuba and the West Indies will be connected
and the success of the Atlantic Cable in
August next is confidently hoped for. It is
to be regretted that telegraph business can
not have the lively stimulus and restraint
taat sn fayerably affect every other. bUsi-
ness. At least nve attempts within the last
fifteen years, by men of energy and large
capital to build up and sustain an opposi-
ton, but they have signally failed. When
the United States Telegraph Company had
acquired over 10000 miles Of line the public
looked for the fruits Of opposition in the re
duction of the rates, but the rates had TO be
twice advanced TO enable the business done
to support two Companies instead of one.
This formidable opposition being compelled
at last TO succumb, and sell out at a loss, the
question seems TO be settled for the present
that telegraph business will not yet bear
competition, and against the advantages Of
this combination it would be rash to make
the attempt. One Company can do all the
business, and do it cheaper than two, for two
organisations with duplicate of offices and
employees must double the expense Of doing
the aggregate business, and the customers
must be taxed to meet the doubled expenses.
Let enlarged views govern this mammoth
corporation and let them serve the public
promptly, courteously and as cheaply as
they can afford, and the public will be satis-
fed
