CONVENTION OF DELEGATES FROM THE
Young MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS OF THE
UNITED STATES. - Yesterday afternoon, at
the Hall of the Young Mems Chris
gates representing the Young Mems Chri titan
Associations throughout the country COM
menced IT'S sessions. There were about fifty
delegates from Pennsylvania; also delegates
from Washington, Baltimore, Wheeling Troy
Albany, Chicago, and other cities. An Organi-
cation was effected by electing Rev. T. II. Rob-
inson, of Harrisburg, President; John Wana.
maker, VicePresdent; and Mr.. Rondthaler, of
Bethlehem, as Secretary. After the appoint
ment Of Committees on business and Creden.
tials, the Convention adjourned until this
morning.
The Convention reassembled this morning at
10 O'Clock, prev GUS TO which religious exercises
were conducted in the hall. The President on
taking the chair, thanked the members of the
Convention Tor the honor which they had con-
terred upon HIM.
The Committee on Business reported the
folloWing:-
l. How shall we get young men TO work.
2. how shall we organize new Associations?
3. What shall be done TO stir up the State of
Pennsylvania?
4. What measures should be adopted to in
terest young men IN our Associations?
Rev. Herrick johnson, of PittsDurg said:-I
think the first thing that ought TO be done is tn
put the young men IN the work. Urging is
not sufficient. They must be placed in posI-
tions of responsibility, where they must either
work or shirk it. Another thing that we ought
to be careful about, is 10 give them work Tor
which they are adapted, so as they can feel they
are equal 10 it,. We must fix in the minds of the
young men that they must do certain work as
young men, and feeling that responsibility, they
will be more aot TO do II, and do 1t successfully.
Mr.. Sinms then made a few remarks upon the
sdbjecG. He said he thought that Christians
were too discursive in their desire to do good
and he thought they should say, IL will save
one young man, If do nothing more all my
life long" just suppose now that the thousands
of Christians in PHILADELPHIA, men and women.

LARGE HAUL.-There was quite an
extensive haul made by the police of the Frank.
ford district last Thursday morning. It appears
that Lieutenant Street received information
that there was regular series of robberies
Delng committed upon the farmers in that
vicinity. Accordingly, he took measures to cir
cumvent the thieves, which proved quite sue
cessiul.
The house, belonging to David Harper, on
second street pike above Nicetown lane, was
watched by Officers Weeks and Knox. AT
O'Clock yesterday morning they saw two horses
ana wagons entering the enclosure around the
house. They Immediately sprang out of their
concealment and rushed at the persons having
them in charge There we're two men, woman,
and boy accompanying the vehicles and ali
managed to make their escape, except one man
named George Sol. Having search warrant
the officers proceeded TO search the premises,
which we've occupied by a German, who was
with the wagons when Sol was captured, but
who managed to escape capture.
In the house was found q great auantity of
stolen stock and produce. There we're two
goats, milk can, and other smaller articles in
The wagons when taken. In the house we're IS
geese, 30 chickens, Is bushels OF potatoes, a
quantity OF apples pork, beets, 100 pumpkins,
etc. All these had been stolen They were

George Sol resides at No. 1882 n. Third
street, and says he is a butcher, and does busi-
ness in NiCetown. He was held tor further
