LAMENTABLE AFFAIR.

A Child Accidentally Killed by Its Father.
The st. Louis Republican of the 18th inst
says
A fatal accident occurred at Boyer's Prairie,
in the northern part of st. Francois county one
day last week. A little son of Mr.. William
Nuby was lying ill upon pallet on the floor of
the residence. Mr.. Nuby went into the house
and took down his gun, preparatory to cleaning
the weapon. He was unconscious of his son 8
presence in the room, the boy being covered up
with the bed-clothes While tampering with
the gun it wentoff Mr.. Nuby did not observe any
damage done and went about completing his
work. Mrs. Nuby hearing the report, ran into
the house, asking:-
''Wbat is the natter"
Nothing except my gun went off, answered
Nuby.
''Did it do any damage?"
"Guess not-made a hole through that pal
let pointing to the bed upon the foor); that's
ALL"
A look of horror came into the mothers face.
II guess you've killed my boy!
Both ran to the pallet. The covers were
thrown back, and the suspicion was realized as
only too true. The ball had entered the thigh,
and, passing upwards lodged in the breast or
chest, causing death almost instantly.
The feelings of the parents, of course, are in-
describable. On Sunday last Rev. Mr.. McFar-
land of Hematite, preached the funeral sermon
of the child, who is said to have been unusually
bright and intelligent. Mr.. Mcfarland says the
crowd in attendance was the largest he had seen
for ten years.

FROM THE WEST.
EniIway Excursion,

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.-The first passenger train
that ever crossed the Mississippi river below st.
Louis was transferred last evening from Bel
mont, Mo-, to Columbus. The train was spe-
cial and elegant one, containing Thomas Allen,
President of the Iron Mountain Railroad Com
pany, and some forty prominent citizens of st.
Louis invited TO accompany him to the State
Fair at Atlanta, Ca, and the Cotton State Fair
at Augusta, Ga. At the latter place track will
be laid to the fair grounds, and this train will be
exhibited at the fair.
The passage of the Mississippi river by this
train will inaugurate regular passenger traffic
between st. Louis and all points South without
veXatious delays and the Inconvenience of
changing cars at Belmont and Columbus. The
excursionists were enthusiastically received at
Columbus, and on their return more formal
reception will be given them.
The annual meeting of the Association of Con-
gregational Churches of this State is now in
session here and is well attended.

Through Two Rounds Before Their Fun Is
Spoiled
Jim Murray muscular heathen from the golden
shores of California and Jerry Donovan, another Of
that ilk who belongs nearer home, each claimed to
be the better man OF the two. So little "mill" was
arranged for between their friends to put the point
at issue at rest. Pennsylvania soil and 5000 a side
were the terms. Both OF the bruiseTs We're used to
the business Murray aying at times indulged in the
manly art on the Pacific Coast. while onovan has
frequently stood up in the ring here in the East.
This morning was the time fixed for the melee,
and at early hour the two combatants started for
the scene of conflict on board barge which was in
tow Of the steam tug MolyneauX. The departure
WAS from Pine street wharf, and about one hundred
admirers OF the manly art made up the party-an
ugly crowd ready for any Villainy and prepared, by
a choice assortment OF backjacks and "pops"-as
Alderman McMullln would designate them-to have
high old time. The MolyneauX steamed down the
Delaware to the mouth Of the Sehuylkil and up the
latter stream to the neghborhood OF Penrose Ferry
bridge, where the night was to take place.
Meanwhile, the police authorities at Fifth and
Chesnut streets had got wind OF the scheme, and
Sergeant Tappan and squad or police were
despatched In pursuit, on the steamtug Douglass.
The hireliDgs OF law ana order unfortunately made
such good time that they reached Penrose Ferry
Bridge in time to prevent even an attempt at fight
ing. WhereupOn the MolyneauX steamed down the
Delaware to Red Bank, where the square heads
effected landing on the sacred soil of New Jersey,
and prepared for their sport
A ring was formed and Jim and Jerry came to the
scratch. The first round resulted in the discOm-
hture of Donovan likewise the second. Twice in
succession the Californian sent his antagonist TO
those two rounds, and Murray was still without
scratch OF bruise. At tnis iuncture the adherents
OF Donovan, bent upon their champion being VictO-
rous by farp play or foul, made grand assault upon

one cause OF the want OF prosperity in many OF
our institutions s tnat the course OF study has not
been adapted to the wants Of the people, and the
people will not send their children. III man wants
his child to be lawyer a doctor he nnds course
adopted for the profession but n he does not and
wants his son to follow q business or less liberal
profession, he finds no studies adapted to the end.
The courses in many OF the leading colleges of the
land have been or are now being altered for the bet
ter, and we must follow their lead. We must have
more practical studies. Our course OF
must have more of it, When we have this then the
students and money will come freely. This move
will meet with opposition in some quarters but it
cannot be helped. In Oxford, England, they have
introduced more modern courses OF study to meet
the requirements Of the day. aud the effect at first
was almost riot. But the trouble has been gotten
over, and the courses are now WORKING smoothly.
SO it will be here.
Rev. DR.. Kynett, of the Church Extension Society,
said that he would only engage the attention OF the
convention for a few moments. There ia one point
which he thought escaped their notice. and that
the almost total want OF ns itutons adapted for the
masses in and around Philadelphia. There is not a
single Methodist school within one hundred miles of
Philadelphia, In the West it Is difTerent there We
have colleges, though meagrey provided, yet are
doing great good and furnishing the kind of learn
ing needed by the people.
DR.. Peck was OF the opinion that the Methodist
educational institutions are doing as much for the
masses in the way OF teaching as any other schools
He said that If the statistics OF the Wyoming Semi
nary are consulted they VIII be found fraught with
the most glorious results. In all departments of in
dusty even in the highest that seminary has placed
its graduates, and he was convinced that similar in
sttutions are precisely adapted to the end in view
The resolutions on the subject OF more enlarged
education were reported from the Committee on
Resolutions, and after inserting the words sand
young women after the words 'yOung men in
the ninth resolution, they were unanimously
adopted.
