Methodist Conference.

The Rock River Conference of the NJ 4.
Church met in this city IN Wednesday, 10Th.
The Conference embraces abOHt l75 minisS
tiers. of whom 90 to 100 usually attend. The
attendance this year, in spite of the bad wea,
;her is up to toe average. Bishop Clark
arrived on Tuesday, and is stopping with
Hon. Wm. Rcddick. Among other eIhirent
tivines present we notice Rev. DR.. Peck Rev.
Dr. Tiffany, Dir. Raymond, DR.. Quereau, DR..
Eddy. Rev. Luke Hitchcock, &c. latecd,
it would be hard, we imagine; this side Of ne
l. S. Senate, to witness body of men no
larger embracing so much talent.
Very little business was done on Wednes>
day beyond organizing and appointing the
usual committees. Bishop Clark took the
chair, and Rev. Is. O. Fuller was reelected
Secretary. The afternoon and evening were
spent in devotional exercises. Rev. n. II.
Axtel preached at :! O'clock, and Rev. j. H.
Vincent occupied the evening in behalf of
Sunday Schools. The business sessions e
Thursday and Friday also afford little mates
rial to be embraced in synopsis, being in
the way of collecting statistics to be embOd-
led and presented in form b. the appropriate
committees. R-v. DR.. Peck preached the
Centenary Sermon at O'Clock, and Or. Que
reau and Dr.. Tiffany delivered addresses in
the evening. Friday afternoon the y ssion-
ary sermon was preached by DR., Wll:hr and
in the evening Missionary addresses by Or.

CHURCH DEDICATIoN.-The new Methodist
church in this city, in accordance with previ.
GUS announcement. was en- Sunday last, ded-
icated to the worship of Almighty God. 1t
is beautiful brick structure, of the Gothic
Norman order, beautifully frescoed, seating
500 persons with choir. organ, and ample
basement rooms FOR offices, Sunday school,
&c. The building cost some $4,000.
The dedicatory sermon was preached by
Rev. DR.. ttDY, of Chicago, and like all his
sermons, was able and impressive. Before
closing however, and before he was willing to
make the formal announcement that this fine
church was dedicated, DR.. Z. reminded the
people that there was still debt of some
$4,000 due on the building, and this, he insist.
ed, provision must be made for raying. So
he called upon The people to give accordingly
as God had prospered them, AID in less han
halt an hour about $1,000 were donated. and
The debt was wiped out. Then DR.. f. said he
could now proclaim the dedication with a
clear concience, and with the benedicton,
the large audience was dismissed.

advent into our county (now at Sar-

Judging from the rush for his ser.
vices, his talents as a Dentist ar,
finely appreciated by the citizens Of
our sister village and surrounding
neighborhood. His mode Of ex.
tracing teeth without pain is without
a parallel in this part Of the State
and Is the wonder and admiration o.
his many patients. His Office |,

POWELL & WALTZ affords us
an i~nexpressible qualification to have
the pleasure this week of introducing
to our readers this new firm. Capt.
Powell has been, ever since he has
been in business among us, a favorite
merchant with the people of thi.
county, and taking into consideration
the fact that he has associated with
him Col. J. A. Wall, a gentleman
widely and favorably known, and
that he has just returned from tn,
East with a magnificent stock o.
goods, we predict abundant success
for this house. Certainly, if upright
and strictly honest dealing is merito.
rious, this establishment will be lib.
orally %patronized. BE sure to reat
their double-column advertisement
aud give them a call.

MARRIAGEs.-Look at the great
mass Of marriages hat take place all
over the world-what poor, contempt
ible, commonplace things they are
A few soft looks, a dance, a squeeze
of the hand, a popping of the ques-
ton, A purchasing of a quantity Of
muslin, a clergyman, a short journey,
and the whole matter is over. For
FIVE or six weeks two sheepisb- looking
persons are to be seen dangling about
on each others arms, looking al
waterfalls or making calls, and guz.
zling wine and cake; then everything
falls into the most monotonous routine;
the wife sits on one side of the
hearth, the husband on the other,
and little pleasures, little cares, and
little children gather around them.
This is what ninety-nine out Of q
hundred find to be the delights Of
love and matrimony. Pity IT'S, 'ti'
