West VIRGINIA N. Z. Conference.
Reported for THE REpUBLIcAN.l

West Virginia NJ. Z. Conference.
Reported for THE REPUBLICAN,
The members of the above Confer
ence held their Annual Session in
Grafton, w. Va, March 21-27, Bish-
op Ames, ID. D., of Baltimore, presi-
ding.
The administration of the Bishop
was firm, courteous and dignified;
so well becoming one of his extern
sive ability and venerable appear
ance.
The utmost harmony prevailed
throughout the entire week, and the
brethren gave each other a right
hearty welcome. Never did we see
stronger spirit of Christian frater-
nifty than was manifested at Grafton
by our sister denominations. All
the churches and homes of Protest,
ant Christianity were thrown wide
open and the people invited to enter
in. Rev. Mr.. Flanagan, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church, asked for
four of our ministers as his guests,
but we could only give him three.
In the Luthern Church on Sunday
morning the excellent young pastor
prayed fervently for our Bishop and
all the Conference.
These are not isolated instances,
but two out Of very large number,
going to indicate the'reception Of the
Conference at Grafton.
The attendance was large. About
one hundred and fifty ministers were
present, besides large number of
Local Preachers, visitors, etc.
On Sunday all the churches had
large congregations and interesting
services. On Monday evening a mass
temperance meeting was held, when
about $50 signed the pledge.
All the vital topics of Christianity
in general and Methodism in partic-
ulrr, received careful attention and
proper culture. Thirteen Deacons
were ordained, eight candidates for
the ministry We're closely examined
and admitted as probationers, two
members were expelled and three
were recorded Withdrawn. Bro. d.
TaSker was granted a location at his
own request.
The Conference, by resolution,
changed the time of the Annual SEES
sion from March to September, 50
that hereafter they shall meet in the
Fall and not in the Spring. This
makes the pr sent Conference year
only six months.
A resolution to establish a Confer
ence Seminary at Buchanan was dis
cussed and adopted. The citizens of
that place made very liberal over
lures to have the Academy located
in their town.
Charleston was selected as the seat
Of the next Conference.
Two of our ministers died during
the year, viz: Bros. Moses Titchinell
and w. l.. Hindman. They were
good men and able preachers. Verify
they have their reward.
Henry E. Friend was elected and
ordained to Local Deacon's orders.
w. E. George was appointed to
supply the Deer Park mission.
Resolutions confirming the Cape
May settlement were heartily and
unanimously adopted by a rising
vote.
Changes in the second and third
resti ictive rules were negatived with.
out controversy.
The appointments for the several
districts of the conference were an
nounced by the Bishop on Tuesday
at ten O'Clock A. M.
We give below those for the Nor
gantoWn district, and one or two
additional stations of some interest
to the readers of this paper.

American Cotton Goods in Sweden

The report of the United States
Minister to Sweden and Norway, Mr..
Andrews, for the year 1875, contains
so many matters of interest to the
commerce of Create Britain that it
has been reprinted in London. Am
ong many other things which is in
terest to British as we'll as TO Ame..
rican manufacture is the statement
of Minister Andrews respecting an
experiment made by a Stockholm
house in the importation of cotton
manufacture from the United States.
During the season of 1875, the re-
port says cotton cloths and prints of
excellent quaIlit1 were imported
from Boston. The experiment has
shower that some styles of Americon
calicoes can DO imported at aprofit of
10 per cent, notwith- standing the
Swedish duty on such COOS is ID
cents pound in weight iu coin.
The house in question was so well
pleased with its experiment that it
took steps to make additional impor-
tations of cotton manufactures from
the United States. The Minister
further states that cotton twine for
fsh nets was imported during the
year from Boston both into Sweden
and Norway.

A Favorite Story OF Dlckens's.

The following story may have gone the
round of the newspapers but it is good enough
for re-telling since Dickens said of it: "You
must know that / have appropriated that
story and acquired immense reputation by it'
1t occurs in paper of "reminiscences in Serb.
ner for October, entitled "a Yankee Tar and
his Friends"
On one of Captain Morgan's voy-
ages from America to England, he
had under his care q very attractive
young lady, who speedily distin.
guished herself by reducing five
young gentlemen to the verge of dis
traction. She was quite ready to
marry one but what could she dc
with FIVE !? In the embarrassment
of her riches she sought the captain,
who, after few moments thought,
said sits q fine calm day ; suppose
by accident, you shouldsfall over
board; I'll have boat lowered ready
to pick you up, and you can take the
man who loves you well enough to
Jump after you" This novel propo-
sition met with the young lady's
views, and the programme was &C
cordingly carried out, with the trif'
ling exception that four of the young
men took the plunge, and, being pick
ed up by the boat, presented them
selves dripping quartette upon the
ships deck. The object of their IN
| dampened ardor, no less wet than
themselves, fed to her stateroom
and sent for her adviser, the captain.
s.Now, Captain, "cried she in despair,
"what am | to do ?" Sab, my dear, '
replied the captain. "if you want q
sensible husband, take the dry one"--
which she did.

A CALIFORNIA paper decribes +" the
latest thing out" as new horseshoe
made of three thicknesses of raw hide
compressed together by heavy
pressure. 1t is said to last longer,
weighs only one-fourth as much Of
the common shoes, never splits the
hoof, and has no bad influence on
the foot. 1t is so elastic that the
horses step is never uncertain
This will remind farmers who drove
cattle and horses across the plains
in early days, of the fact now almost
forgotten, that this is no new inven.

were often shod with shoes made out
of buffalo hide, cut from the neck
where the skin is almost an inch
thick. Christian Union.

Almost a Jail Delivery.

Our jail birds who have gone to
the penitentiary, were very near
stealing their freedom last Thursday,
the very day after court adjourned.
We will try and explain how. The
cells of the jail are in the center of the
building. Around them, on both
floors. there is a walk. This walk
is bounded on its outside by trellis
work made of flat bar or strap iron.
There is the same kind of walk, SIM
ularly bounded, both below and
above. Outside of this, on the lower
floor there is another walk. A
month or so ago prisoners were per-
mitted in this walk. They had got
possession of clock spring, of which
with the broken blade of pocket
knife. they had made saw. They
climbed up the trellis work and
with this saw sawed off q bar OF
iron an inch thick and about q feet
long. When removed they could
climb and crawl through to the up
per corridor next the brick wall.
This being known the prisoners did
not have the privilege of the outer
walk, but, on the day above men,
toned, Thursday, they were given
the freedom of the inner walks. One
of them managed to reach and get
tho bar of iron which had been saw
ed off. With this they pried out of
it's place one of the trellis bars, max
ing an opening through which they
could pass to the outer walk. They
then elm bed and took themselves
to the corridor. There they had no
difficulty in making large hole in
the brick wall-the west end of the
Jail. They had it so near completed
that in an instant with kick they
could have opened the way and
bounded out. In another hour
darkness would have aided them and
away they would have gone. But
at this stage of progress a prisoner
outside. who has liberty to go and
come as he pleases, learned what
was going on and gave the alarm.
The sheriff was away at Boscobel.
Ora Richards, Jim McGonigal. aud
Will CLARK, surrounded the fellows
and put them in their cells, thus
spelling big sensation for the
whole country and business for
"Detectives."
Thus we have another proof that
it takes something more than q Jail,
however strong, to securely keep q
prisoner.

President Lincoln as an Antl-SIavery
Man.

Mr.. Lincoln was always an anti
slavery man but, as | have said,
was never political Abolitionist.
Events and war necessity compelled
him to adopt the policy of emanci,
patton, for which he has received
and deserved merited honors but
those who applaud his course in that
respect omit to mention that coloni
cation and deportation Of the slaves
when set free was deemed by him
an essential part of his emancipatio n
policy. Whether right or wrong on
that subject it is not necessary to
discuss, out the truth need not be
suppressed. He believed it would
be best for both the whites and
blacks that the latter should leave
the country, or, as he expressed it in
his interview with the colored repre-
sentatives, at is better for US both TO
be separated" Knowing his canvic.
tions and earnest solicitude on this
branch of his policy, | have some
times doubted whether. he would not
have hesitated longer in issuing the
decree of emancipation had he been
aware that colonization would not
be accepted as an accompaniment

In Fennimere, Sept &c, 1877, Elizabeth, wife of R.
G. Jones, aged IS years.
She was the only daughter Of Justin and
Edith Pointer, who now reside in Kansas. In
early life Sister Jones first felt TIE quickening
power of divine grace and identified her inter-
ests with the people ofGod. From that time
her religious life deepened and widened, float
ing on in unceasing fulness. With her relig-
ion was something more than speculation it
was sweet and glorious experience, ever re-
joicing in conscious salvation through the
blood of Christ. Her character though nat
urally amable was greatly benefited and en-
riched by the operation of the holy spirit. She
had a cultivated mind and a warm heart which
always made her a desirable friend. Ever
ready to relieve the suffering and comfort the
sorrowing she has endeared herself to the
hearts of the entire community in which she
lived. Being unconscious for some time be-
fore her death she left no dying testimony. but
her life gives US the assurance that if faithful
we shall meet her on the evergreen shore.

We would like to have our Green,
back friends consider upon the real
situation of matters at this moment.
We refer to such of them as have not
yet yielded entirely to the crazy cross
winds of Greenback infationism.
Only one year ago our currency was
IA per cent. discount. Within six
months from that time gold had
dropped to 1O9-mere than onethird
of the differ ence between coin and
paper having been out grown by the
natural influence of the laws of trade.
In July last gold was down to 1906
decline of one per cent. per month,
and now after a lapse of three more
months the price is only 103 to 1881.
Here we are almost at the point of
equivalence between coin and paper
the great gulf that has existed be.
tween the two for so many years has
been almost filled up and the two
classes of currency separated only by
span.
When gold was at ia year ago
the reckless and half.crazed infa.
tionists never tired of bawling at the
street corners that any considerable
reduction of the gold premium, by
and under the operation of then ex-
listing influences and laws, would
bring sudden and fatal bankruptcy
upon the business of the country,
and wreck the ship of state. Three
fourths of that premium has been cut
away by these natural and undis-
turbing influences, only fraction
over three per cent. of margin remain
ing. and yet the shipwreck of bust
ness has not only not come, but an
actual better condition of things ex-
lists at this hour than the country has
known for the past three years. Will
the more rational of those who think
themselves greenbackers sit down
to half hours reflection upon these
very significant facts AS your pre-
dictions of ruin prove to have been
entirely erroneous, is it not inferable
that your entire theory rests only on
the baseless fabric of dream.--Du-
buque Times.
