Meeting of the Preachers Of the II. E.
Church.


The weekly meeting of the pastors of the NJ
E. Church Of this city was held yesterday morn.
ing in the parIors Of the oundry church. The
meeting was called to order by Rev. E. ID. Oven
Of Ryland chapel, the president; Rev. G. W
Hobbs, Of Grace church, secretary. Religious
services were conducted by Rev. Samuel Shannon
Of Union chapel
Alter the usual routine business Of the meeting
was through, Rev. J. p. Newman, d. D., called
the attention Of the preachers to the fact that the
annual conference would convene in metropolitan
NJ. E church on the frst of March next, and that
in accordance with the agreement of the preach
ers' meeting several weeks ago, this was the day
for the reports from the pastors of the number Of
homes provided in each charge for the entertain.
mept Of the preachers and lay delegates of the
annual conference. lie estimated that IL would
be necessary to furnish homes for three hundred
persons, and upon the call of the pastors homes
were reported for two hundred and eighty. This
leaves small margin for application for the en-
and those Of our citizens who wish to entertain
these preachers had better report at once to Rev.
DIR. Newman.
1t was reported that a call had been made by
Rev. Messrs. Moody and Sankey, now in PhiIa-
delphis. for convention OF elergymen and others
In that CITY, for consultation upon the subject Of
eyangelization and the promotion Of revival
work, but the meeting deemed 1t ineIpedient for
them to take any action in relation to the mat
ter.
The order of the day was then called up; being
what is generally denominatea by Methodists the
presiding elder question, and was discussed by
Rev. DIR. Ball, Rev. B. Peyton Brown, Rev. j.
p. Newman, Rev. II. A. Cleveland, and then
passed over for another week.
Rev. b. Peyton Brown made an able and ex-
haustive speech upon the origin Of the appoint
ing power ofthe Episcopacy and its claims TO per-
petuity In the hancs Of the bishops Of the Church
He reviewed the organization of Methodism and
quoted largely from the views of Bishops Coke,
Asbary, Emony, Hedding, and the early fathers
Of the Church, upon the appointing power, claim
ing that it eKitted alone In the general confer.
ence by a two thirds vote, and in the annual con-
terepcts by three fourths vote.
This question is assuming great importance in
the Methodist Epifcopal Church, and will bs one
OF the exciting questions before the general con.
IeIcLce; which coIveaes in Baltimore in May

A Goose Story.

Last night about o'clock as young man liy.
ing on Sixth street approached his house from
street on his way home, he observed woTIah
come out OF the gate, closely enveloDed In ehswl
which was drawn over her head, almost concesl-
ing her entire face, but enough was exposed to
show, as she passed beneath the r,as-lamp, that
she was solore5. His suspicio,. were aroused,
and he watched her moveTIents. She walked
slowly down Sixth street. g.auciug back over her
shoulder every few steps. Tue young man, after
watching her until sbe passed into darkness be-
yond the light of the Rss-lamp, then entered his
gate just as the servant came 20 the door, and IS
IL was opened, the light from the gas in the hall
fell upon a mysterious looking bundle lying on
the door. step. He asked the servant II the bell
had rung, and receiving an native answer
told her not to touch the Dundle until he found q
policeman, for evidently the colored woman he
had seen leave the door had deposited the bundle
on the step. Following the woman, who con-
entered City Hall park, the young man turned
into Seventh street, whore he met two policemen,
to whom he related the circumstances. Together
they then went back to the house, where all was
excitement with the members of the family,
whose minds were filled with visions Of o mur-
dered infant, its throat cut from to ear the
rope with which IL had been strangled yet about
before touching the terrible bundle, but ono Of
them lifted it up, while all leaned forward to
catch the tirst glance of the murdered child, and
tearing of the newspaper out rolled-a dead
goose Not dressed goose, but one which had
evidently died and had lain for two or three days.
The only inference that can be drawn from the
singular conduct Of the woman in leaving the
want in house in the neighborhood, had been
DISCHARGED, and took this mode of revenge,

KniRhtly Penmsnship,


Ihere Is on exhibition in the show window OF

modern specimens Of Illuminated writing, and Il
may reasonably be doubted whether the works Of
the old masters, preserved on yeIlum. afford a
inner illustration Of SKILL taste and colorug with
the pen. Mr.. }. W. Stockton, OF the third an.
ditor's ofice, is certainly entitled to rank among
artists for this elegant production. The subject
Is series Of resolutions from the Old DominIon

REQ crosses and gems, are all wonderful, when it
remembered that the execution was with the

is seldom that any similar thing Is executsd In a
