MASSACHUSETTS,.
General EuiscopaI Convention

Boston, Oct. 9.-The Episcopal convention
discussed the question of the constitutional
amendment relative to the division of dioceses.
DR.. Goodwin of Pennsylvania opposed the
amendment and claimed that it could not have
apostolic sanction. Clergymen had as much
power for dispensing the gifts of the Holy
Ghost as had the bishops
At this point message was received from
the House of Bishops announcing that the
house of bishops wished to impress the clergy
with the solemnity of their duty of encouraging
temperance and strictest morality, and that
they preach and plead earnestly against gamb-
ling, visiting improper places and committing
the crime of ante-natal murder; that the house
of bishops remains with the house Of deputies
on account of the expenses of the conve ntion ;
that they have appointed committee OF the
house of deputies; that presiding bishops may
from time to time appoint secretary, to be
paid out of the funds provided on such occas-
ions as his services may be required; that such
missionary bishops shall have jurisdiction over
all clergy in his district, and that he shall pre-
side over the court for the trial of any clerical
offence within his Jurisdiction, and shall sum-
mon as assistants in that court any three
presbyters within his district, and if not so
many there he shall summon three from any
neighboring district sufficiently near; that the
house of bishops gladly received the invitation
from the house of deputies to meet in social ill.,
tercourse and that they appoint Thursday aft
ernoun, when after having lunched together,
pObn houses can ENJOY SOCIAL DrOUuerly luUeT-
course until clock.
These matters were properly referred and
then DR.. Goodwin continued his argument,
saying that the church could not be or go to the
expense of sustaining new bishops.
He was followed by Rev. DR.. Howard of
Connecticut He thought there was as much
power in the preaching OF Presbyter as in
that of a bishop. He did not think that the
church was growing as fast or near as fast as
saDguine gentlemen loved to say. A number
of instances were cited of smallness of growth
of the church in divided dioceses. Change did
not increase the numerical strength of the
church, while the expense was great increase
to the burden the church already BEARS
DR.. Beers of California, opposed the amend
ment. He thought that the policy of the
church always was and always should be to
clothe episcopacy with permanent jurisdiction.
This amendment would change this, and would
leave the possibility of having numerous bsh-
ops in the future thrown back upon the church
without diocese.
Just before adjourning Mr.. McGruder of
Maryland, obtained the floor and began his ad-
dress.

Gallant Deed of Life Ii oats Crew.
During the storm of last Thursday night the
three-msstpd schooner Armstrong of Provi-
dence, r. l., stru, * on bar opposite West
Hampton, Long Island. The sea made COM
plete breach over the vessel, snd the crew, sew
en- in number, took to the rigging. The wreck
was discovered at daylight, and the crew of the
life saving station No. 10, under Capt. Jessup,
went to her assistance. After failing to throw
line to the schooner by the mortar-the dis
lance being too great-a life-boat was launched
and in spite of the heavy surf, reached the
wreck and brought the men safely to the shore.
They would certainly have persisted but for the
gallant conduct of Capt. Jessup and his men.
The schooner, with her cargo of coal is total
loss. She was new, and valued at $50, 600; no
insurance.

A Prehistoric Man.
Colorad o's Latest Wonder vouched for by
a Former Resident of Portland.

On the 18th of September Mr.. W. A. Co.
nant, former resident of Colorado Springs in
the Ceutennialistate, formerly merchant in
New York city, and representative in the
Legislature of New York, went to the town of
Pueblo on business and on the following Sun
day drove out some twenty miles to place
where he had often found petrifed fish, sea-
turtles, serpents and fruit He has fondness
or collecting curious stones and petritications
While be and his son were resting under the
Shade of tree, taking their lunch, Mr. Conant
saw something protruding from the ground
which looked like mans toes and after he
had called his sons attention to it they began
to dig around it, and found petrified man.
Their united strength not being sufficient to re-
move it, they returned to Pueblo and obtained
the teams and necessary assistance and brought
the object to Pueblo, where it was on exhibi-
ton for two days. Such in brief is the story as
furnished by correspondent of the New York
Tribune of a discovery which has created much
excitement in Colorado and aroused considera-
BILE discussion among scientists
This petrfied, or as some say, prehistoric
man, is feet 81 inches in height; its arms are
four feet long and it is II inches from the wrist
bone to the end of the longest finger. One
foot has been broken, the other which is perfect,
is ID inches long. Ths toes are somewhat fiat
tened out. The forehead recedes from the eve.
brows and the back of the head is quite large.
The lower end of the back bone extends be-
yond the body some four inches, giving it the
appearance of a tail. The weight of the speci-
men is 600 pounds.
There has been considerable doubt expressed
as to its genuineness. the Cardiff Giant hum
bug having made the public incredulous re-
garding such alleged discoveries. 1t is strong
point in favor of its genuineDess, however,
that Mr. Holt, son-in-law of e. j. Libby, ESQ.,.
OF this city, a resident of Colorado Springs
who is undoubtedly familiar with the details of
the discovery and the character of the discoy-
er, endorses it in the following extract from a
private letter written by him:
