A VERY unpleasant rumor has been
current 10 this city during the last
week, to the effect that Rev. G. N.
Sims, formerly pastor Of Trinity nj.
f. Church, had been struck with
paralysis, by which he had become
both deaf and dumb. We trust the
rumor is utterly without foundation.
1t has already oeeasiOned his numer-
Gus friends here great uneasiness and
anxiety.
In changing the boundary lines Of
the Indiana Conference it loses some
ten or twelve preachers and about
three thousand FIVE hundred mem
bers, who go into the North Indiana
and the Southeastern Indiana Confer
ences.
THE number Of locations in the
ministry of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the past year, was seventy,
and OF deaths eighty-three; total loss
from these two sources, one hundred
and fGty-three. The number admit
ted on triarin the same time was six
hundred and ninety-six, making a net
gain OF five hundred and forty three.
THE total number Of members in
the 1876 churches is 20,686, showing a
clear increase of 2S7 during the year:
1,l30 have been added by baptism
and 102 by new churches. Not less
than seven ministers, belonging to
the other sectionof the Baptist body,
have taken the oversight of General
Baptist Churches during the last
twelve months.
CINCTNNATI under the hills" that
is, in the city proper, is about equally
divided between Catholics and Pro-
t~estants. Nearly $4,000 children at
tend Catholic schools, while but H.
GOO attend the common schools. 1t
must, however, be borne IN mind that
children attending the Catholic paro-
chial schools are from 6 to u years of
age, while those attending the public
schools are from 6 to IS years old. F
REV. THOMAS WAUGH, of the Irish
Wesleyan Conference, now in his Sfth
year, still possesses remarkable vigor.
and promises to be able to do several
years effective service as a preacher.
For sixty years he has been present
at the annual session of his Confer
ence. He was, however, detained
from the recent session in Dublin.
FACE PAGES TO DE REAR.'-At
the Erie Conference, Bishop Morris,
10 a brief address in behalf of the
freedmen, narrated the following
anecdote. told him by DIR. Newman.
OF New Orleans. A colored local
preacher IN speaking of the Tempta-
ton, said: Had Satan made me
such offers | should have said Sab

Get thee behind me, Satan ! Il o,,r

said, Now, Mr.. Satan, eff you pleatbe
