POPULATION
The Committee, OH whom dcyolvcd the duty
OF reporting in reference to tho colorcd people,
beg leave to present the following
We regret that we arc compelled to state.
from facts that have come under our own OBJ.
Fservatons and reportcd by others, that there is
in the bounds ofour District Conference wide
spread and growing disaiTection evidenced by
this class of our population towards the Mctho-
dist Episcopal Church South. With the cx-
ccption of an occasional locality, they have
generally severed their connection with our
Church, and formed themselves into Assoca-
tions, whose prevailing sentiment seems to be
Radicalism, instead of the religion of Christ
This change in their Church relations, and
substitution ofpoltics for religion, VIC deeply
,dcplorc, and would arrest if possible. But
your committee confess to a feeling Of great
encouragement in this work. We would not
however, recommend a suspension of effort
We would say to the officials of our Church
and especially to the Ministers, local and itinc-
rant, that VIC should stihgestcmm it our impcra-
tive duty, to do what is III our power, to en-
Tighten and save the colorcd people, whenever
andwhcrcvcr practicable. There are a few
who arc still disposed to avai! themselves Of
our instruction, and by pcrscycring efforts on
their behalf, their numbers may be gradually
augmented. TO yield to despair, because of
formidable obstacles i'll the way of the discharge
of duty, is not characteristic OF the times, phil
anthropic or christian
We therefore recommend for adoption by
this Body The following resolutions:
LIST. That as Church we are rs much as
ever interested in the mora" wcl-bcing of the
colored population in our midst.
3D. That we will not relax our efforts. in
the uso OF proper means to cnlightcn their
minds, and save their souls from death
All of which is respectfully submitted

REPORT OF TIE COMMITTEE on CIRCUIT
~ BOUNDAR1Es AND pARsoNAGEs
We believe that the people have become re-
concilcd to the present arrangement of their
Circuits and boundaries, with the exception,
as far as ascertained, Of the churches of Bethel,
Zion and II Station, formerly belonging to St..
Georges Circuit, and embracing about 40
white members, who arc destitute of miuistc-
rial service We recommend thai the three
churches be embraced in the ST. Georges Cir
cult.
I In regard to thee, 1'arsolIascs believe that
so soon as tho people can be satisfied that the
present Circuits will bc retained, they will en-
ter heartily into the erection Of pursonagcs for
the comfort of the ministers and their families
and we SO recommend.

FRENCH BREAD.-In making French bread
steam half pound of potatoes with the skins on
them. When done break and mix them with
half pound OF -four, and half pint of tepid
water with salt added according to the taste of
the eater. This compound then put in warm
place, one with temperature of about 20 or so
deg. Fab. is best. Leave it thus for an hour, at
the end of which time add pint of good yeast
(baker's yeast is preferable.) and mix well but
do not knead. Leave it in warm place for
about twelve hours, till it begins to fall which
must be closely watched-for upon active opera
tions at this time will depend the lightness of
the bread When the dough begins TO fall strain
it for the purpose Of freeing it from the potato
skins adding little tcpid water, if necessary to
make it thin enough for this operation. Then
add two pounds of four, and tepid water enough
to make soft dough-one little thinner than
for ordinary bread. Keep this dough in warm
place till it begins to crack on the top. Add a
little salt and then knead in, and make it up in
70 loaves or rolls.-Protissor Blot.

FARM ann Garne,l.
The Farmers Grind.tone.

There is no tool so essential to the farmer as
good grindstone; and very correct idea may be
formed of the management of farm, by the ap-
pearance of this homely but useful article. If
the neighboring saw or edge tool factory has
furnished onH of its cast off "hubs,' which is

In olden times the only grndstones in use came
from New Castle, in England and although
very good for some purposes, they were not suit
able for farmers use, the gritb. eng too coarse.
The Nova Scotia stones were next introduced
and were found TO be great improvement on
the New Castle. The Ohio grindstones are very

Hoping these remarks may induce our farmers
to give this important tool the attention ii de-
serves, few hints how to put it in order may
not be out of place:
LIST Always keep your grindstones under GOV.
er, as exposure to the suns rays hardens the gri.
and Injuries the frame.
I'd. Don't let the stone run in water, or stand
in water when not used as this causes soft places
where none exist; but allow the water to drip
from water pot-an old white lead key will
answer-f1ed above the stone, and stop it OH
when not grinding
I'd. Clean off all greasy or rusty tools before
sharpening; as grease and rust chokes up the
grit; and always keep the stone perfectly round
by razeeing it off when necessary: and finally
every farmer should have a good ,rindstone Of
his own, always ready for use, and no one should
waste the costeof a stone by running to his neigh
bors TO grind his tools.-Cor Farm. and Fresi.le

FATTESING FowI.s.-The farmer should gen
orally fatten his fowls and send them to market
himself. He can do it with less trouble perhaps
than he imagines. Feed literally at all times,
90 as to keep them growing tSriftily, but about
twenty days before being slaughtered, feed them
in the following way make coop for about
one dozen fowls more should not be put to-
gether The coop should be about three feet
long, two wide, and two and a half high. Make
the sides and ends of bars about three inches
apart the bottom of round poles two inches apart,
the top of board. Place this in a comfortable
room, elevated two feet from hefoor, in the barn
or poultry house where the cool winds will be
kept away, and where the light will be dim. At
tach feeding troughs all round the outside.
Commence feeding very light, giving but little
water the first day then feed regularly three or
four times day with the richest food, as oat.
meal mixed with milk, boiled barley or corn
Observe the utmost cleanliness, and give sup
ply of fresh water In twenty days the poultry
should be killed, and for such the farmer would
find plenty of greedy buyers, willing to pay til,
highest price.

DIED-At his residence, in st. Mary's,
April 18th, 1867, Anthony Hahnhauser,
ESQ.,, aged &c years.
The subject of this obituary was an
old citizen of this borough, having emf
grated from Philadelphia in 1S4S,
where he erected the hotel now known
as the Franklin House. Mr.. Hahnhau-
ser occupied many responsible positions,
such as Justice of the Peace, School
Director, &c. In all his dealings he
was honest and true, and was looked
upon as one amongst the leading men OF
the place. By his strict honesty and
iudusry he accumulated large property,
and departed this life with the conscious.
ness of having done his whole duty
On Monday he was inferred in the
Catholic Cemetry, and was followed to
his fast resting. place by an immense
concourse of sympathizing friends and
neighbors, which showed plainly the
high esteem in which he was held by
all. Peace be to his ashes.
