TIE METHODIST BOOK CoScRRN.-The adop-
ton by the New York Fast Conference OF the
majority report on the alleged frauds in the
Methodist Book Concern was briefly reported
yesterday, not, however, without q spirited
debate. The Rev. MIR. Buckley, In support of a
motion to reconsider the vote tabling the
minority report, charged that the majority
report Was "untruthful;" that An attempt had
been made and was being made to suppress
facts which ought to be known to the Confer
ences and tho whole Church on the subject OF
this book-room imbroglio, and further, that the
motion to lay the so-called minority report on
the table, and thus prevent discussion, had a
strike similitude to the aforesaid attempt 70
suppress facts: Tho gentleman WAS called to
order repeatedly, and some members described
the scene - "disRraceful." DR.. Wo>druff ex-
citedly denied the statement Of Mr.. Buckley,
and finally the latter's motion Was tabled by q
vote Of l05 to 38.

WHEN TO MARRY.-Mrs. Stanton has been
making trouble out West It seems that the
indomitable Susan recently delivered a lecture
In st. Paul to 'ladies exclusively" and with
what direful result let the Pioneer tell:-The
lecture, which Was upon the rights and wrongs
o. women, marriage and maternity, was a very
interesting and instructive one. She Iargued
that young ladies ought not to marry before {hev
were twenty-five years old. As large portion
Of the audience consisted of young, Unmarried
ladies, this part of the discourse was not yery
well rehshed. 1t is said that one young lady Of
eighteen summers, the day for whose marriage
had been fixed for some time in June next last
evening informed the gentleman to whom She i,
to be married that the time must be postponed
for seven years. He protested, but she was
nxed In her determination and declared that il
was no use talking, Mr.. Stanton said no youne
lady ought to be married before she was twenty,
hve years old, and she would not be married ga
minnit afore that time if il took the last coil nj
hax she had on her head" The young man Ieft
her to mediate upon the matter, and, notuith-
standing that he belongs to the Young Mems
ChrIstian Association, he was heard using some
very hard words about Mrs. Stanton.

IKE .Schuylklu Strike.--The Philadelphia ledger
Of the 18th says:-The coal Il ade was further
complicated last week by strike among the
workmen employed on the lateral lines or the
Reading Railroad, in the upper coal fields of
the Schuylkill region. A small percentage Of
reduction of wages, insisted upon by the com
pany, is the cause of the strike. It IL OF little
consequence, as at nearly all the mines in the
region mining of coal has been suspended. As
regards the difference between the operators
and the workmen in the Schuylkin region It Is
unchanged. Neither party seems willing to
yield. In the meantime the Lehigh and Wyom-
ing coal regions are driving large and highly
prosperous trade.
In order to keep up supply of fuel to the
furnaces on the line of the Reading Railroad,
the President Of the Company sent on Saturday
300 of his cars into the Lehigh region to load
with coal, which will be delivered as the neces-
sites of the furnaces may require. The trafic
is carrying "coal to New Castle" Notwith-
standing the evidence heretofore furnished of
the determination Of the operators to resist the
high wages OF miners in order to reduce the price
Of coal consumers, there arc not wanting those
who persist that "the strike" Ii q mere feint to
cover Q tacit understanding between the parties
in the trade to shorten the supply Of coal, the
better to keep up prices. Coal prices rule very
strong now, and the production Is laree, con-
sidering the suspension In the Schuylkilf region.
