Is Crime Decreasing?

Following closely upon the end of the
war, an epidemic of crime swept over the
country. The number and peculiar afro
city Of the murders and robberies that for q
while occurred simultaneously in different
parts of the land were unparalleled.
Suicides succeeded in frightful abundance,
SIS if the angel of Remorse, following in
the footsteps of Crime, suddenly overlook
and smote it. The memory of some Of
these awful deeds of blood are inefaeable,
and marks an era in our history which will
"need the tears of all the angels to blot
the record out Tragedies, such as the
Rosa and Deering horrors, and gigantic
robberies, such as the Lord bond theft and
Csdiz bank burglary, are not repeated IN
the same country in one generation. 1t
would now seem that there is, if not a
suspension, at least q sensible decrease in
the frequency Of the greater class of
crimes. To the increased vigilance in
police departments this may in part be
attributed; and it is quite possible that
the publicity given to the heart-rending
details of some of the greatest outrages,
have terrified many, who might have
meditated or been capable of their COM
mission, into a better life.
In this connection it is worth making
note of that q general reform in minor
matters is being sgitsted with good re-
suits. The temperance movement, for
instance, has been recommended in the
principal cities, and the suppression of the
vending of liquors on Sunday, at least,
effected by the help of the law-the
only practicable method of dealing with
the question. 1t is a hopeful sign, too, TO
observe that the plan of closing places of
business at an early hour is gaining favor,
of the benefits of which it is unnecessary
to speak. So, also, the agitation of the
eight hour labor question, which has been
begun with vigor, and if conducted in a
polite manner, cannot result otherwise
than benefcially to oyer-worked lsborers.
We observe, too, a growing interest in
public libraries, and what may be rightly
called 8 struggling after larger and better
means of public Establishment and in
strueticn, cut of which must sooner or
later, spring the instrumentslities that
will satisfy the want. Various other in
dicstions are observable Of s better time
coming which, by the way, every one in
some manner may hasten.

some plan of proceeding fer an increase of
salaries of Bishop and Assistant Bishop.
The attention of the Convention was call
ed TO the fund for the relief of widows and
orphans of deceased clergy of the diocese.
After some remarks by the members, the
Bishop spoke at length, as a member of
the Convention, upon this important sub
iect. He said little hsd been done by rec
tors of parishes for this worthy object,
this year. There are five persons entitled
to an annuity of one hundred dollars each,
and the funds on hand were not sufficient.
The only means of their support are by
contributions, and they must be liberal or
this object abandoned. A resolution was
offered to the effect that on each Christ
mas day q collection for this object be
taken up in every parish in the diocese.
AT 81 o'clock a motion TO adjourn was
carried. The Bishop made a short adj
dress to the Convention, in which he ex-
pressed his profound qualification of the
proceedings of the meeting the feelings
of all had been good, and every effort for
improvement was unanimous. During
the thirty-four years ofhis duty as Bishop,
be had not attended so large a convention,
or one at which more harmony and proper
spiritual feelings had been manifested.
The thirty-frst session of the Erie An

them some of the ablest men of that church
in the nation. Bishop E. R. Ames, aman
of distinguished ability, will preside. Dur
ing the session of the Conference, Gen. S.
F. Carey, of Cincinnati, the distinguished
lecturer, will deliver an address on tenn
p%erance.
INTERCHANGEABLE Baptist Church
of Bucyrus have just commenced the
worthy enterprise Of collecting q Church
Library for the general use of the Church
and community. 1t already contains a
good number of rare books on religious
topics. 1t is the present object of this
church to dispense with the ordinary Sab
bath School library system, and provide
for each of the small children a neat Sab
bath School paper every Sabbath, to be
kept by the children, and the larger chill
dren will have the liberty of the church
library. 1t is claimed that this plan will
possess the advantage of less expense, less
complications in its workings, and secure
the collection of s lsrgsr and better style
of books.

THE SoUTH.-One of the greatest dit
fculties in the way of religious improve
ment among the poorer classes of the
South is the scarcity of buildings suitable
for the purposes of worship or of educa-
ton. Before the rebellion school-houses
were few in number, and generally of so
poor construction that they soon became
u%ntensntsble by neglect. Church build
ings were of little better order, and these
are generally owned by the class of people
who doggedly resist the efforts of North
