Sabbath School Convention.

THE Sabbath School Conference
of the M. E. Church, Gallipolis Dis
trict, held its second meeting at the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Gal
lipolis, July 23d and oath. Was
called to order by Rev. L. Cunning
ham, President, and opened with
religious services conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Robinson. The Constitu-
ton adopted at the previous meet
ing at Middleport, Ohio, was read,
and an amendment agreed to, pro-
viding for an executive committee
of seven, in addition to other otlic-
ers named therein. The President
named Rev. Ii. z. Adams, John Dill
lon, james Barringer and Prot. II.
j. Caldwell, as a committee to
nominate the executive committee.
A motion to recognize all friends
of the Sabbath Schools present as
delegates, and members of the Con.
ferance, prevailed, after which Rev.
Mr.. Dixon read an essay on "the
work and dignity of the Sabbath
School teachers" The essay elici-
ted much interesting discussion
At 3 o'clock p. NJ. the members of
the NJ. L. Sabbath School, Gallipo-
lis station, assembled and were ad-
dressed by Rev. Mr.. Baker, of the
Conference, Rev. Mr.. BoswOrth,
visitor, of the Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. DR.. Trimble, Missionary,
Secretary. At 4! P. NJ. the audi
ence were dismissed. The evening
session was occupied by Rev. Mr..
Gardner, who preached from Deut.
9th chap, 9th to 9th verses.
The morning session of the 9th,
met at s A. NJ. and was opened by
usual religious services. After the
reading Of Minutes the committee
to nominate the executive commit
tee reported the following names:
Revs. II. Z. Adams, Jno. McCor-
mick, L. d. Vanzant and Messrs.
Jos. j. Blazer, Penil Cherington,
S. @. Bailey and II. j. Caldwell.
An interesting address by Rev.
Mr.. Fry, Of the Portsmouth Dis
trict, on the subject: "What meas
ures can be introduced in our
schools to increase their usefulness
and enable them to meet more full.
ly the objects for which they have
been established" was followed by
animated and interesting remarks
by Revs. Dixon, Baker, Robinson,

Presbyterian, and Geo. w. Jackson
Esq, Episcopal Sabbath Schools,
Prof. H. W. Caldwell, Gallipolis,
Prof. W. II. Young, Ohio Universe
ty and Rev, DR.. Trlmble, Missiona-
ry, Secretary.
The speeches were confined to
ten minutes each. The interchange
of opinions with reports of the
practical workings of different Sab
bath Schools, were interesting to
all present, and an evident deter
mination prevailed on the part of
Sabbath School workers, to in
crease the efficiency of this very
auxiliary of the Chris
tian Church. A motion to hold
subsequent meetings in connection
with the Ministerial Conference of
the District, and a resolution that
all members present use their in
duence to increase the attendance
at future meetings, were adopted.
Secretary w. Y. Miles offered his
resignation, which was accepted,
and Rev. Mr.. Gardner elected in
MS place. At II! A. NJ. the Con-
'erance adjourned sine die.
L. CUNNINGHAM, Pres't.

Suicide of q Horse.

The suicide mania among the BIZ
peds of the city has ceased, and
now the quadrupeds have COM
menced to destroy themselves. A
stump-tailed brown dog ran his
head. against a policeman's club
yesterday morning, and knocked
his brains out.
In addition to this, we have to
record the suicide by drowning of
a horse. He was an old bay horse
belonging to the Fourth street line
of street cars, and had been used
for year or more as an "extra" in
assisting to draw the overloaded
cars up the hill from the corner of
Sixth street to the corner of Sev-
enth street on Chouteau avenue
He was a good puller, and when in
the lead, the car never went back.
The old fellow had strained him
self by this hard pulling, and for
several weeks had been on the sick
list. He was allowed the freedom
Of the stables and roamed about at
pleasure. Yesterday morning Mr..
Prock gave orders to knock the old
horse in the head, and the order
was to have been carried out dur
ing the day. But the old boy
seemed to have something more
than horse sense, and the probabil-
ity is that he overheard and under
stood the order for his execution.
At all events, soon after sentence
was passed upon him, he walked
into the pond near the stables, laid
down, and deliberately thrusting
his head under water, held it there
until he died of stran gulation.-
Strange as the occurrences may
appear, it is strictly true. The
horse undoubtedly committed sui

The Tuscarawas Chronicle makes
the excellent suggestion that far
mers plant a row of shade trees on
each side of public highways run
ming through their farms. The
Chronicle says: at will pay in the
comfort it will afford, in the appear
ance it will give to the land, and
in dollars and cents" We would
say, too, that no tree will answer
this purpose better than the beauti-
full maple Of our own forests, or our
native elm.

SINCE the war seventy manufactures
have been erected between Atlanta and
Augusta, Ga. This is what is needed
for the true glory and solid prosperity
of the South. Northern capital is OF
course at the bottom Of the foundation
OF these factories, and as fast as the
whisky drinking-nigger- whipping-bowie
knife Hourishing rebels can be cleaned
on. and the black man got to work, the
South will rise from the ashes Of her
rebellious war, a greater section OF the
Onion than ever it has been or those
who inhabit it dreamed it could be.
Atlanta is said to Do rising gloriously
from her ashes. Nothing but the
churches, Odd Fellows Hall and a few
dwellings on the outskirts were left
standing, but the place is now beginning
to look like a prosperous city again.
Several 6ne blocks, WI or three hne
hotels, and a number o: handsome brick
mansions are completed. Among the
new public buildings is a fine Opera
House in course Of construction that
will cost Sso, 900. Tho capital is said
to have come chiefly from the large
planters, who have sold large tracts of
land to Northern settlers under the ex-
psc'asion Of enhanced wealth by city
investments, and much has been done
on credit. The people are hopeful, and
business is increasing. Atlanta is a
great railway centre.
