TIE METHODIST CONFERENCE.-THE
learn from the correspondence of the Rev
DR.. Newman of Poultney, that the com.
mittee on boundaries Of the general con-
ference, now in session at Chicago, las
reported in favor of re-anncxing the Bur-
lington District of the Vermont Confer
ence to the Troy Conference. This in
cludes all the Methodist churches between
Rutland and Burlington. This will be
cheering news 10 our Methodist friends
interested in the matter, as much disatis-
faction was expressed since their separa-
ton from the Troy Conference several
years since.
Dr. Newman also says: former resi-
dents of Poultncy and members Of the
Troy Conference Academy hold no mean
places among the delegates to the general
conference They are Rev. DR.. J. T.
Peck, Rev. L. Wentworth. d. D., teach
ers, and Rev, J. L. King, D. D., Rev. J.
+. Bowen and Rev. c. I. Burdick, pupils
in that time-honored institution.

HYNEYIAL.-Last night our city was Wis.
tied by pair of young sweetlngs intent on
matrimony. The requisite servtor was OBJ,
tanned and that knot was tied, which, how
ever loosely it may bind hearts, is, neverthe'
less, as Mr.. Tony Weller would remark, las
tight as a Gnstie REIN legally. Every at
tention which could relieve the embarrass,
ment of the occasion was paid them at the
Rodman House, where they put up and
where the service Was performed. In this
connection we would say that Rock Island
is becoming sort Of hymeueal headquar'
tiers. A sentiment in this connection is con.
| tagious. Just as the same old story is told
again, in the prosecution of the old, old
suit, as Jenny always blushingly pours
forth into Jessamy's ear the old tale about
his "hesrt's only choice" and chow he can
never love again" if she prove uukind, with
an inventory ofhis worldly goods which shall
be hers with his heart injected here and there
in his rambling discourse, so do they find
each other out in the direction they take
when the solemn rite is celebrated. 1t is
Just as mules STAMPEDE, one goes securing
over the plain and the rest, whisking their
tails, take off in the same direction. So
Rock Island is becoming the Gretna Green
of this region, though only in the fact that a
majority of the marriages in the county are
solemnized here. There is reason for
this, and as near as we can ascertain it is
this The proprietor of the Rodman House
is an ace of Mercures in arranging the trl.
fling though embarrassing details OF these
interesting affairs. He is the preur chera
Ger of hymeneal entertainers. He can man.
ipulate so delicate an affair as wedding IN
strange place. b owever sudden and unex.
pected may be the special Office that de-
wolves upon him, with the greatest expedi
ton, so as to seem, in fact, as it was pre-.
ordained and the arrangement long perfect
ed that the service be performed under his
roof No detail is forgotten by him and
however trying the ordeal may be under or.
binary circumstances, with Mr.. Hutchins as
drum major marriage becomes delight
full circumstance. He makes the parties so
selfpossessed and at their ease that they can
even be interested in the solemn phrase of
the ceremonial. He has apartments espe-
cially designed for the occupation Of the
parties, and his arrangement of the entire
affair is subimated under his hands to a
work of art. In fact it is such a pleasant
thing to to be married at the Rodman House
that we doubt not some OF his interesting
customers, after mo nth or two of mar.
riage, would like to come there again on the
same errand.

THE eity council of Davenport is in dan.
GER Of being committed to jail. The city is
badly in debt and the courts have ordered a
nandamus upon the city authorities com
manding them to assess property and col
lect the money to pay, but they don't obey
the order The Gazette says;
Mandamus after mAndamus has been
served on cur mayor and aldermen requi'
ring the levy of s pecial taxes for tho pay
ment of judgements against the city OF Day
export. The city officials Of Dubuque are
in the same boat. The Herald says that
Mayor Turcke had msndamus served on
on him, the other day, for the same purpose
Our city fathers view the matter in sensi'
bic light aud do not allow their fears to
reach their ''unperturbed spirits :" but up in
Dubuque, the Herald says that, although
state law exempts city officials
from personal liability it is becoming Sc
rious question with aldermen ana others IN
terested, we learn, whether the United
States court may not ignore the state law,
issue mandanus, in case of failure 10 levy
a special tax, and in case Of disobedience Of
the mandamus, chuck the entire city gov
eminent in jail for contempt. If this proves
to be the case our good aldermen have a
decidedly pleasant prospect before them

rage on the decency Of law and justice, on
the part of City Marshal Mclaughlin, as has
ever been perpetrated in the city, and shows
how the Marshal, who is becoming sadly
shabby and out at the elbows, will sucA ~
nothing to discover an offence ana mu'e'
the offender. A respectable citizen and
farmer, Bernard Marley, from near rug
ington, drove pair of drAught horses into
town to sell them. He had not effected a
solo o,a .,ar,ed to return home as night
WAS annroAehing. He was so situated that
his team, of fiery Sort in turning around
draw the wagon over a small portion OF the
sidewalk. City Marshal Mclaughlin, who,
before the man drove off, saw the lay OF
things and saw, moreover, that IN moving
off the man WAS liable to do this, stood by
in gleeful expectance as fish hawk would
watch porgy. He did not warn the man OF
his proximity to the rayenous clutches OF the
citv officials. q no ! that would spoil his
little game. 1t would be rank folly 1t
would be equivalent to throwing the reye'
mos Of his little Office into the river He
appreciated the price ofan arrest at nearer
| It's real value than that. II he had said
"Look out, my friend, and not drive toe
close to the sidewalk neat little budget
If costs would have vanished like tho fleet
ing aroma of yiolets. So the City Marshal lei
him,in ignorance, violate the ordnance,as he
knew he was almost sure to do from the pc
sition iu which his wagon was placed, anC
after he had gone little distance pursued
him and commanded him to stop. "HoIC
on, my fine fellow said this sweet official
we're going to fine you" And so he wa
hustled precipitately before the oily Ira.

put to the additional expense of hote
bill for himself and team over night
Verify, things have reached q delightful pas
when the dignity as well as the peace OF tn
city is reposed in the hands of man VIII,
is watching like a spider with the spleen 70
petty offenders to mulct Of fees. They cal
find no men with suspicious breaths now, 81
they must drag up an inotfensive farme
who uuavodably has committed an intrac
ton Of city law, which has resulted in nc
injury to any person or thing. 1t is diff
ferent thing where man runs wagon OF
the sidewalk out of q spirit of reckessness
But running the wheels over a small corne
of sidewalk being compelled by the difficult,
of turning out and the spirit of his horses
would have been overlooked by any one wht
was not innately small and mean. In THU
connection, too, we would say that the citl
should appoint somebody to watch the Mar
shal Just as he watches the citizen. He
was seen in as obfuscated a condition as an!
of his victims, an evening or two ago
Would it not have been well for Condor
who seldom or never makes an arrest II
