Cumberland aud Reunited PresbyIerianS
Likely 10 COaIesce.

The joint committee of the Presbyterian
Church of the United States of America, and
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, closed
their sessions last night, after having been in
close consultation during the last two days.
The committee on part Of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church submitted o proposition
that both confessions of faith be retained, and
that candidates for the ministry and ministers.
be allowed the privilege of selecting according
to their own desires, both confessions of faith
TO be on equal footing, and have the equal au-
thority in the united Church, and the literature
that was common to the two bodies should be
recognized by both; and that the name of the
Church in case it should be united was TO be
the Presbyterian Church of the United States
of America; the members Of the church not to
be required to subscribe to the confessions of
faith, but only the officers and minister.
The other committee presented paper in
which they expressed themselves as regarding
q union of the two church as as a very desirable
event, an earnest hope that an organic union of
the two Churches would take place. They re-
commend that the next General Assemblies
should appoint committees. to continue tho
conferences, with a view of arriving at some
definite terms of agreonnant
The Two committees Will submit reports to
their respective General Assemblies next May,
but as the work for which the committees were
appointed is not yet completed, they can only
report progress, which will be done. Several
members of the committee from distant States,
left for their homes last night, and the others
are likely to depart to-day.-BaHner, 9th.

AFLOAT ON MILES OF ICE.
wonderful Escape Of Hundreds from an
Ice FIoe,

BAY CITY, MIcH., Feb. 24.-The ice
which drifted away yesterday morning
separated into several sections, and drifted
in different directions. That which bore
the greater number of persons swung to
the east shore, and all on it, estimated at
two hundred, reached shore about =. NJ.
Arthur Stevenson has arrived from the
scene. He was on the middle field, which
drifted northeast until it struck the main
body of the ice some distance from the
east shore. This morning Stevenson and
party of seven started for the land. They
unhitched their horses, and compelled
them TO jump from one cake to another,
the men drawing the sleighs after them.
After travelling five or six miles, their
hazardous journey was completed. 1t was
supposed on shore that this party had
persisted. AS far as Stevenson knew, all
the men on the ice were Off in safety,
but a report from the west shore of the
bay says few men and huts can be
seen on the ice, which is badly broken
up between them and the shore. IT Is
useless to attempt their rescue. Two
men, Smith and Porrier, reported drowned
yesterday, are safe. 1t was at one time
supposed they and many others were
drowned, but with the exception of those
on the western shore all have escaped.

AN IMPORTANT DEcIsIoH,-A very importan.
decision was rendered in the Supreme Court
yesterday. Some time $50 the Comptroller,
through the Attorney General, had a motion
made in the Circuit Court against Caldwell,
State and County Revenue Collector for falling
as Tax Collector of 1871, to make his settlement
Upon :the trial of the cause before special
Judge McHenry, the Collector claimed, as a
credit, over $1,000 for land condemned in
March, 1879 and sold in July, 1873. The Cours
held that the Collector was not entitled 10 this
a settlement in 1872, and that he should have
had his lands Condemned and sold in the year
for which the tax was levied. The Court there
fore confirmed the judgment of the Court
below.

The Recent Corner In Lard and
Bacon H'Ll E.F"W

The Recent Corner In Lard and
.t Bacon s'L .E.f"N
The New York World says that the
gradual rise in "hog products" !" principally
lard and bacon, has resulted pleasantly
to certain dealers and commission men,
who in November went short for de.
cline. Their reasons for the short sales
and the explanation Of the result are quite
simple. In the month Of November, when
the short sales were made, 2, 500, 600 hoss
were slaughtered, against I 200 600 for the
same month Of 1872, and II looked very
much as II the market was TO be overfull.
Money at that time was tight, with the
chances about even that Il would stay
tight, and, altogether, prices 1t seemed
would have q downward tendency. But
corn had been rising for q year. In Iowa
II rose from II cents in 1879 to 45 cents in
1873. Since November, 1873, It has risen
from 65 cents to So cents. II was
noticed during the immense offerings Of
hogs in November that the weight was
less than the average. The corn crop
for 1873 was poor, being only 1858, 900, 900
bushels, against 100000 900 10. 1879,
With the high prices offered, 1t was
cheaper for the farmers to sell their corn
than to fatten their hogs with it. They
sold their half iattened hogs as well. This
accounts for the lessened average weight,
and for the tremendous supply Of hogs
brought into the market In November and
early in December. II also explains the
false impression that so large an initial
supply was token of an overstocked
market and low prices through the winter.
For when the half fed hogs were sold all
In q heap to save the expense OF feeding
them longer than necessary with corn ct
So cents or thereabouts, there was nothing
lett to keep up the supply with, and no
earthly reasons why prices should not
rise. Il is not generally believed that
any manipulation among Western buyers
is responsible for the steady rise since
November. It is only the healthful mar.
ket that has cornered the shorts. The
demand, as far as can be judged from
present Indications, is going 10 be an
active one, even when 0,000, 900 pounds
Of hog products above last years supply
have Been offered up to December 81 last.
Money Is easier than was expected, and
the foreign exports have increased nearly
5000, 600 pounds over the total exports
up to December 80, 1879. The New
York brokers and packers who have
suffered have been compelled TO
pay enormously to keep up their

terday at $40 so for February, the price
being about $l6 70. Nothing seriously
affecting the trade is likely to result, or
will indeed be permitted to result from
the difficulty which several commission
houses and some packing houses have
found In furnishing margin. A general
settlement will probably be arranged Be-

Contripe,aI Machine Works.

On our rounds through the upper part
OF the city yesterday, we dropped in TO
sec how onr friends Of the Centripetal
Machine Works are progressing. We
found them expecting to be ready to com.
mence active operations in the course Of
two weeks. They appear to be making
preparations for carrying on the business
on an extensive scale. They have made
very thorough renovation Of the old
Phillips Machine Shops, having laid
down . good floorinithe basement story.
The machinery Is being all overhauled
and reseated. The old foundry has also
been repaired, and will be used at
present for blacksmith work, but the
Company design doing. s their own
foundry work at an early day, We also
notice that they are putting up q machine
for grinding the faces Of pulleys instead
Of turning them. This grindstone and
emery turning is process which enables
eastern shops to outriVal our western es.
tabllshments In the manufacture Of several
Glasses Of machinery, by greatly reducing
the cost and labor Of facing pulleyS and
other bright surfaces. We live to learn,
and II there Is anything of value in the
process, our machinists will not be,slow to
adopt It wherever suitable. l-- n
