SECOND DAY.

SECOND DAY.
The Conference was opened by religious
services conducted by Rev. S. Allen, ID. ID.
Tho unfinished business of yesterday was
taken up, viz the examination of the effective
elders and reports from the charges. Rev. J.
Colby, Presiding Elder of the Readfeld Dis
trict gave an interesting report of the state Of
the work in his district. There have been re-
vivals on nearly every one of the charges
in some cases very extensive. The ma
terial interests of the church have been
promoted and an increase in the amount of
collections for benevolent purposes. The
character of all the ministry was reported as
untarnished. No religious denomination 10
more strict in the examination of the charac-
ter of its ministers or holds them to q stricter
account than do the Methodist The charac-
ter of her organization is such as that it brings
her ministers constantly under rigid super
vision, and at every Quarterly and Annual
Conference tho name of each preacher is
called and the question is ssked,-Is there
anything against him? This is what is tech
nically called by us the examination of the
members.
Tho work in the conference during the past
year has been very successful. The preach
ers are generally in good health and are very
spiritual. After the finishing Of this item Of
business, the conference was addressed by DIR.
Kynett, DR.. Uphaal and others, upon the
special subject of their mission. The consid-
GRAFTON of the question of continuance on trial
and reception into full membership nth the
conference of the candidates for these several
relations, was taken up. The several young
men in these different classes having been
previously examined in subjects assigned to
them, theological and literary, were passed to
these several positions. The question "Who
are the Superanuated Preachers?" was taken
up. The following brethren being fsvorably
represented, were continued in that relation,
viz: Benz. Burnham, p. C. Richmond, s. w.
Pierce, N. ID. Witham, ]. S. Rice, d. Cope

ries?" Several brethren took this relation.

mending President Grant for his noble decision

Suicide OF rromine mt Citizen ofAugu.t.

.
1t is our painful duty to record the death.
by suicide, of Hiram Craig, Esq, Of this city,
q well known and wealthy farmer, living in
the "Craig district, about two miles from the
city. Mr.. Craig has been wandering in his
mind considerably, during the winter talked
Of coming to want; didn't know what was to be-
come of him, was exceedingly rcticient did not
want to see company, and has has not driven
down town this winter. He has several times
spoken Of some one looming to take him" "
But he has never shown any suicidal ten
dency, nor has anything of the kind been de-
tected by an attending physician. His ply
sical health has been good; his appetite has
been excellent, he has slept well, and been
able to attend regularly to the duties about
the household, where he has lived happily with
his wife and son.
He was very industrious all day Friday, and
at the usual hour, a little past six O'Clock,
in the evening, went to the barn to milk. He
set the milking pals on the sill behind the
cows, as was his usual custom, and stepped
into another barn, used for storing hay, car
riages, etc. Here he took a small trace chain.
with ring in the end of it, put it round his
neck, forming moose at the end, fastened
the other end Of the chain to the "girt" beam,
ground NOW, was suspended by the neck. In
this position he was found, about seven
o'clock, by his son, who had been away, and
and who had driven into the yard. The
door of the barn had been left open, revealing
the awful spectacle. His son. n-law, Mr..
John Jones, living near by, was called, and
the body was taken down. Life was entirely
extinct. The body was warm but there was
no pulsation of the heart. Every effort was
made ct resuscita.ion by the family and neigh
bors, but without avail. He apparently died
without struggle.
The deceased was a we'll known and re-
epected citizen. He was in excellent cir
cumstances, and possessed in large measure
all those blessings that make life desirable,
and the tragic act seems strange. lie was
about 10 years of age, and leaves wife and
three children-one son and two married
daughters.

The conference sessions thus far have beer
most peaceful and successful.
SEMI CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
The Maine Conference was set off from the
New England Conference in 1924. The con-
| ference then embraced the whole state OF
Maine and that part Of New Hampshire east
| of the White Mountains north of the waters
of the Ossipee river. The conference was
| then composed of 40 ministers 6, 465 members.
II lS48 at the time the conference made its
first report after the East Maine Conference
was set off from the Maine Conference, which
was the previous year, the membership of the
united conference was in ministers, travelling
and local, 1868, and in membership 21,lS1.
At the last report from the two conferences,
which was last year, 1878, the united men,
bership was over rs, 900. But the aggregates
of the two periods do not give the full results
of the work of our ministry in the state, for
hundreds and thousands that have been
brought to Christ through the influence of the
Methodist ministry, are found in other relig-
ious bodies, and other Thousands have died
and joined the church triumphant in Heaven,
while hundred, if not thousands, have emil
grated to other parts of the country.
The celebration of our semi-centennary

sum Of Ave hundred dollars, to be invested
by the Preachers Aid Society. the interest Of
which shall be appropriated for the benefit of
the needy preachers. Quite sum was raised
and pledged, and the other we think will soon
be raised. The evening was given to the
consideration of the Freedmen's Aid Society.
Able speeches were made by Rev Mr.. Rut-
ledge of Tennessee, and by Bishop Haven of
Georgia. The condition of the freedmen
was fully presented, and their wants repre-
scented. There was a collection of three
hundred dollars taken for this needy people,
to aid in their education. The meeting was
perfect success.
FOURTH DAY.
The religious services from eight to nine
o'clock were deeply interesting and profitable.
At nine o'clock the conference business was
proceeded with. Several persons were elect
ed to Deacons and Elders orders. DR.. Dio

very lucid account of the origin of this move
ment. He gave US some encouragement that
he should spend the next thirty days in this
