FRIDAY, SECOND DAY.

Each n4orning from to 8, conferen &c
prayer meeting is held, attended by a
large number of the members, and which
is daily a season of great interest. This
morning at 9 o'clock, the committee on
examination of the classes of the third
and fourth years course, reported and
the character of the merabers passed
j, II. Bond, H. Graham. S. NJ Will
lianls, w. c. Butcher and W. =. Osgood
were elected to elders orders.
J. E. Bowen reported the condition
and prospects of the work ON the Troy
Districts
c. F. Burdick, of the Albany District,
also reported. These reports are among
the most important of the objects and
work of an annual conference The
Bishop first calls the name of the presid-
ing elder of a given district and asks -
Anything against Brother A. B. p and
this brings bis character, both moral and
administrative, rbefore the Conference.
II his character is not called in question,
then usually sever al of the members of
his district voluntarily respond - Moth
ing against Brother A. b." Then in
turn, he answers TO the call of each
name of his men, Nothing against !"
or, Il hold charges against !" or, 81
move that TIE case of Brother E. be re-
ferred to a special committee.
This cW eful and personal examination
of moral opI ministerial character af
each member of Conference, is safe
guard against long imposition of UNI
worthy and unfit men. Any one in the
church or out of it, who knows aught
against member of the Conference,
whether it be immortality, imprudent or
anbecoming conduct, maladministratio
OF dj sciTline, or material neglect of du-
ty, and will tell what he knows of such
wro lg character or conduct, and Will
testify to such facts, will always find an
annual Conference ready to thoroughly
investigate the case, and to deal with the
accused member according to the mer-
it's of the facts, as they are found. No
body of associated men love one anoth-
er more than do the members of an an
nual Conference, but woeto the ministe-
rial wight who brings reproaeh upon the
reputation of the ministry or shame TO
the Masters cause.
We may be called 'heresy hunters,
but false teachings from the pulpit find
no support or sympathy among us, and
the hereto must repent and reform or
be excluded from the ministry.

GLoyERsvILLE, n. V, April %.
The Conference meets this year at
I Gloversville, N. Y The place is aces
sihle by railway, being the western ter
minus of the Fonda, Johnstown and
, Gloversville railroad. The village is
pleasant, compact and thriving, contain
ing about 5000 inhabitants, and is grow
ing fast, over 70 families having come
into the place this spring
The great source of living and of
wealth is the manufacturing of mittens
and gloves, from which the place takes
its name. ''Mittens and Gloves, or
''Gloves and Mittens, is the sign stuck
out from every corner, on almost every
shop and store, and even over the doors of
many dwellings; Men, women and chill
dren-young men and maidens, are en-
gagged in the manufacture of gloves and
mittens for the market
The members of the Conference are
each expecting pair OF gloves as
present, as the present pastor made such
promise, provided the Conference would
vote to come here this year The men,
Der from Rutland will doubtless choose
pair of gauntlets, as they will be best
for the mud. The pastor, d. w. Day
ton-so well known to your Rutland
rcaders-meets his many guests with a
smile, grip and greeting, giving all
such warm welcome as to make them
feel they are wanted both by himself and
his people. The Conference, numbering
over 250-morc than 200 being present
is most cordially entertained by the
people, some, perhaps, entertaining
angels unawares.
Other denominations, PRESBYTERIAN,
Baptist and Congregationalist, are vieing
with the Methodists in this generous
hospitality, The church edifice is COM
modious, its seating capacity being equal
to over 1,000-its packing having con

Coming here-leaying the New York
Central at Fonda, bearing to. the north
west-we found snow storms and snow
banks, and such arctic winds that we
suggested to dignifed dominic that we
might find relics of the John Franklin
expedition in this northern latitude, but
this dignifiei divine looked at us with
such solemn seriousness that we felt
like Artemus Wards s'inan of SIM" and

Monday was business and busy oay
of hard work. The various committees
were preparing papers and making their
reports. e
In the evening L. n. Beaudry' %
Shelburn preached to a full house prac-
teal sermon from the words: he 'iia'
winneth souls is wise.
Tuesday the Conference assembled lol
the last session. A. Witherspoon, VINO
has been a member of the Conference
since its organization-forty years-tooK
a supernumerary relation. Several trans
fers from other Conferences to the Troy
were read. Mr.. Hulburd has been trans
fered to the New England Conference
and stationed at Springfield, Mass.
At 1920 o'clock the Bishop briefly aa-
dressed the Conference with weighty
and well chosen words, referring to his
former and friendly relation to this BODY
to the fallen workmen who have died
at their post during the past year, to the
hopeful fact that God has furnished new
and vigorous young mento fill the places
of the fathers that have failed in strength
or fallen in death.
DR.. Witherspoon conducted the re-
ligious exercises, always prefacing the
adjournment.
AT II o'clock the Bishop read the APP
pointments for the year. 1t was an houl
of great interest and deep anxiety to
those about to go forth to their fields OF
labor, but all listened Loyalty and cheer
fully resolved to go and do and dare in
the name and strength of the Lord.

call for volunteers, and hurry on to aid
in the work of determination. The fact
that they are so quiet under these sensa-
tional reports, rumors and kilograms, Is
another evidence that the situation is
not so desperate, and that such "ereat
tribulation does not exist. There is
another and stronger fact contained in
the dispatch itself, which goes to show
the absurdity of the whole thing. The
idea that the Government would not
countermand the marching orders of the
four regiments, which are to be detailed
" as an escort for the engineers, to be
employed in continuing the survey of
the route of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, because this must proceed, as
the War Department estimates that
great saving will result to the Govern
ment in the transportation of troops and
supplies" is grotesquely absurd when
given as a reason why the acting Secre-
tary of War is lin great tribulation ;"
over the appeal for reinforcements. The
fact is, probably, true that the compile
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad
will effect the saving mentioned, and
that an escort is necessary for the safety
and protection of the engineers, but the
further fact that the Government would
not employ the troops, designed for such
escort, for the reinforcement of their
fellows already fighting in the field,
and to protect citizens of the United
States from rapine, slaughter and cap
tivity, passes comprehension. No one
believes it.

flow Princes Tell Their Love.

1t seems that, ut one time, 80 mo
stripping Of Prince with ample
means, and who knew that the thing
had got to be done up handsomely to
produce an impression, decided to
send an Easter egg to the damscl of
his love who, in this case, happened
to be Princess Of the royal house Of
SaXony. Sc he oallcl a ski'lrul
jewclcr to his aid, and the order was
given. The result was an Easter egg
such as had never been seen before,
and has certainly never since been
cqualcd, which to-day is preserved in
the Green Vault. Prince and Prin-
cess havo passed away, but tho ingc-
NOUS trinket remains TO tell how tho
scions Of rayalty told their love in
the days Of old. 10 the ordinary
observer it is simply an egg, aad
nothing more. But close cxamina-
tion reveals limo of separation which
oncirclcs it, and further search dis.
close spring Touching this, the
egg-shcll, which proves to bo gold,
cnamelcd to represent shell, opens
ana reveals a chick, tiodgcd with eve.
ry'part countcrleitcd, but all of gold,
cpamcled. Tuning the little fellow
over, and touching y concealed spring,
the body opens, revealing another egg
of smaller dimensions. This, also Of
gold, and also cnamcied, opens like
the first : and now we come to the
kernel of the whole affair, an elegant
solitaire diamond ring, the stone Of
wonderful beauty and clcarncss Of
water and worth u small fortune IN
itself. The writer's memory Of
genealogical facts is not strong, and
as tho earlier editions Of the
Almarach dc Gotha are not at hand,
he cannot FAY whether tic lady ac.
cepted her princcly suitor, but it is
very certain that sho accepted the
egg, for it is still in the strong rooms
OF the house Of Saxony, a curious and
costly trinkct.
