OAI: YEAR'A CHANGES IN

A correspondent, who has yis
tied recently the White Pine min

interesting Information in regard
to the great decline in property,
cost for living and prices for
labor which have taken place dur
ing the past year. From the most
violent excitement and ,cXtraya-
giant hopes everything has droop-
ed down to the extreme Of dali.

Mn. EDITOR The late performance Of our

uErnoDIsr CHURCH GOVERNMENT
Yours,
Portland. June z. Is

The movement for Lay delegation in the
Methodist Episcopal church bids fair to be
success. The question has just been before the
various Conferences in the United States and
has secured the three fourth vote with only
about 20 votes to spare; the number Of preach
ers voting, being about 5000. The question
only waits the action Of the Congress in Ger
many which will probably be similarly aihrma-
tive. The result Of this movement will be that
the General and Annual Conferences instead Of
being entirely composed of clcrgymen as here
toforc will be made up in part Of the represent
atives from among the laity. This isa great
departure from the system as established, by
John Wesley but is considered by many, more
in keeping with this age and with the institu-
tons Of this country. Others, however, think
that the great popularity Of Methodism, name
ly the itinerancy, viii be greatly affected ifno'
oyerthrown.
