"a SIN md A SHAME

At the Wyoming Annual Conference of
the Methodist Church at Waverly, New
York, the committee on Temperance re-
ported a resolution declaring the habitual
use Of tobacco 10 be sin aud a shame.
Some of the brethren who used the weed
had no objection to It's being called shame,
but protested against its being denounced
as sin, and after warm discussion it was
referred back to the Committee for amend
ment. The committee then reported q
resolution to the effect that ''the habit of
using tobacco by the ministry is wholly and
necessarily intolerable ana inexcusable."
This brought out one of the clergy, who
moved to strike out the word ministry"
as be insisted ''we'ge as good right to use
tobacco as any living men," So finally,
the Conferences resolved that it gladly recog-
nized the fact thst more healthfnl senti-
ment is prevailing with regard to the use
of tobacco, and recommended all to abstain
from the use Of the same, and to discoun-
tenance its use by all proper and Legitimate
means. This leaves the laity at liberty to
chew and smoke, and only recommends The
clergy to taper of.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
A Proposition to RevOIuti0nize Back
wards ~ the Present System.


To the Union and American:
The following is an extract from tie bill
introduced into the Board of Common
Council by DIR. T. A. Atchison at tbs last
meeting, to amend the act regulating the
public schools:
SECTION 8. That the course of study
TO be parsued in the public schools of the
city shall be that prescribed by the laws OF
the State in relation to the public schools
therein.
Sec. 4. That the departments of the pub.
lie schools of the city, devoted TO imparting
instruction in grades higher than those pre-
sented by section Of this act, be and the
same are hereby abolished.
Now let our good friend, the silver
tongued Doctor, put on his specs carefully,
and scan closely the following extract from
tie State law on the subject of education,
and he will perceive how very much in har-
mOny he is with the general sentiment of
the people.
Section 81 of the State law. Be it fur
Their enacted, That none of the provisions
of this act shall be construed SO as TO inter-
fere with schools or school systems already
established in cities and incorporated towns,
or to limit them as to the
power to erterd ~ (Is it, yes it is eTtendi)
the course Of study, it being intended to
encourage the establishment Of public high
schools, when the population justifes it, as
a means of perJecting the grading and ele-
eating the standard of scholarship!
Yes, it is there, Doctor; read it sgain; and
we are sure you will redouble your exer-
tions to eTtend educational privileges, to
encourage bgh order of public education,
and to elevate and perfect the standard of
public duties. Adieu.

lONDON Society.

A correspondent of the Dundee Adcertis-
er says that scandals In the upper circles of
London society are growing to be quite a
caution. There never was such season
of them. The last is marriage which
quite eclipses the wedding between Ger
tain NJ. P. and West End barmaid, two
or three months ago. The third son Of a
Peer of the Udted KiBgdom-a more
STRIPPING, who only left college last summer
has secretly married one of his fathers
house-maids, and in spite of the most rigid
scrutiny by lawyers and others, no ground
can be discovered for annnlling the CONTRACT.
The thing is kept very quiet, and the young
folks are, hear, to be sens of to New Zea-
land to engage in sheep farming. The girl,
though house-maid, is well educated, and
was At one time pupil in one of the Edin-
bnrg Normal Schools.

JUDGES, clergymen, lawyers, professors
and ply sicisns, taken as q sub-clsss of pro-
fessiolal men, live the next longest average
to farmers. The average of all professional
lives is set at about so years; judges aver
age nearly b6a years; farmers about IS
years. Among American clergymen The
Presbyterians are said to live the Longest.
Among 406 ministers of all denominations
whose deaths we're recorded in 1870 and
1871 in this country, 1853, or more than
one-third, were beyond 70 years of age.
Lawyers aud physicians are about on a par.
Neither class, save the Judges, who have a
somewhat different work from the lawyers,
is apt to live to any great age, but each
averages well. Physicians are very apt to
marry, and marriage tends directly to long
evity. Scientific mep, as they are called,
are prone to long life, astronomers in parti-
cuar. Out of s. of these students less
than one quarter died under 60 years of
aga.

clothing. 1t appears tina. the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad reached Fort
Dodge, above the great bend on the Arkan-

Der, 1872. From that date to Dec. 81, the
shipment at that station of buffalo hides
was 43,029; of buffalo meat l ,436 300
pounds. These figures do not include the
many bufialOes shot by sportsmen in warm
weather, nor those slain by frontier resi-
dents; and, although they show slaughter
of over 5000 in a little more than three
months, they are less than they would have

There are certain cows residing in this
CITY, whose immediate conversion into beef
would be hailed with pleasure by scores Of
our citizens. These 'gentle, lowing kline"
are I'D to sll sorts of tricks. They steal
hay, vegetables, bed-clothes, small children
and things out OF the wagons of country
men during the day, and at night they
wander about the city breaking into eDclos-
ures and playing sad havoc with flower and
vegetable gardens, lawns, etc. Enough
stones have been thrown Ut these cows TO
pave street four miles or less, and there
ought to he an ordinance passed declaring
them outlaws, and placing price upon

Burning of q Bridge on the Louisville
aIad Nashville Railroad.

The bridge over Rolling Fork, on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, one mile
this side of Lebanon Junction, was destoy-
ed by fire between II and O'Clock on Mon
day night last. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by sparks falling from pass
ing locomotive. By the destruction of this
bridge, the freight business on this line will
be suspended for nearly week. The pas
senger train left at the usual hour last eve
ming, and save the delay in the transferring
of passengers at the Fork, there will be no
interruption in travel.
