OTHER DIsASTRRS,

The State Department has received
from Lucius A. Very, United States Vice
Commercial Agent at Matamora., a letter
dated October 18th. giving an account Of
the tornado which passed over that city
and vicinity on the night Of the 7th and
eth inst. lie states:
The amoant o. losses in Matamo,as
cannot yet be computed. Five millions
OF dollars would be a low estimate at
least Six hundred houses have been
destroyed, including many valuable ware.
houses containing large stocks Of goods.
SO far as heard from all the ranches are
thrown down for thirty milss around
Matamoras. At the mouth OF the river
the destruction was great; scarcely a
house 10 left standing. All the river
steamers were wrecked or disabled, except
the Tamaulipas No. 2, which was still
serviceable. Considering the great des.
truc.ion Of buildings, the nymber Of casu.
alties is not great, probably 90 killed and
40 or so more or less injured.
Brownsville suffered equally with Nat
amoras, very few buildings being left un.
injured. Much suffering. the Commercial
says, mu,t necessarily follow this terrible
disaster, when so many are left without q
shelter, aud all 'thsir property destroyed.

Methodist Episcopal Church.

4 statement is published from a care.
tul compilation Of the summaries of the
official statistical returns from the several
annual conferences Of the Methodist Epis.
copsi Church, which exhibits a marvel.
lous progress during the past year. We
condense some Of these statistics, as they
will doubtless be Of interest TO many Of
our readers.
There are sixty eight annual conferen.
ces, being an Increase Of four over the
previous year. This increase has been
obtained by extending the work iu the
South since the close Of the war. The
new conferences organized are Virginia
and North Carolina, Texas, Georgia and
Alabama. The records show the mum

preachers 8,930-an increase Of 3a3; -
members l,l44,T63-an increase Of 49,
$40.
The number Of churches Is Hiss
an increase during the year Of e7e mum.
Der OF parsonages 3,57o-an increase Of
$50. The total value Of these church
edifices and parsonages is estimated at
Al,o12,47o-being an increase for the
year Of &c, e,oo7rSr1. The increase in par
sonage property alone is nearly 81, ,ooo,.
900. The centenary returns Of coIlec
tions from thirty seven conferences foot up
a total Of Sc, ,l41,027. I. Is estimated
that, when all the returns are 10, the a.
mount will be over 81, 100000. The re.
ports from Sunday schools show very
encouraging advance. There are over
A 200, ,eoe pupils, under the supervision
Of about l75,oeo officers and teachers.
A table is published, showing the com
pa'ativs progress of the church by do.
cades from the year l778. We have not
room for this table but to show the
-sSonderful growth Of the denomination,

Southern conferences inl s44, Organising
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
the NJ. Z. Church lost 1916 travelling
preachers, and 4s5,2 ,2ss members; and
yet, so rapid was the growth and increase
OF the church during the decade, that, at
its close, two years altar the separation,
there was net gain Of G54 preachers
and lack Of only 1874 members Of
making up the number lost.
We have no statistics Of the AZ. T..
Church, South, which, when added TO the
above figures would doubtless show Meth.
odism to be one Of the most extensive OF
rihe Christian Churches in this county,
We hope yet to see the two sectional
branches Reunited, AZ il evidently would
be not only advantageous to the church,
but would be an advance step towards
reconciliation between the people.

One by one the laws of the States are

and daily are the people of the South made

been ruthlessly invaded, these people have

What hard WORK can Accomplish,

As an evidence Of what an industrious
man can do, be lie white or black, when
once he sets his mind to hard work, we pro-
duce the case Of freedman named Albert
Woodson, who was employed by Mr.. Geo.
N. Gwathmey, in Cumberland county, at
the rate of ten dollars per month and
board for one year. During the year, be-
sides his regular wages, he made one hun
bred and eighty-six dollars worth of tobac-
co and thirty-five dollars worth of corn
amounting to three hundred and forty-one
dollars. This is about as much as most
good mechanics receive throughout the
year-including board and lodging.
