The LATE SEssIoN.-During the closing
hours of the late legislature large amount
of mischievous legislation was summarily
killed. Among other matters was an act to
transfer the oyster grounds of the State into
the hands of the Riparian Commission.
The proposed act gave the said commission
power to assess any amount they saw fit,
upon the occupants of the oyster grounds
in any of the waters of the State. The eff
feet of such an act would have been the
ruination of the oyster trade in Maurice
River Cove and Delaware Bay. The Oys-
termen of Cumberland County have all they
can do to live with things as they now
stand, but with the large assessments for
rental of grounds, which the Riparian Com
missioners would be sure to put upon them,
they would be unable to make a living.
The bill for this object passed the Senate,
and came over to the House late on Thurs
day. Immediately upon it's being read,
Assemblyman Nichols made canvass of the
members, and secured sufficient number
of votes to defeat it, and Notwithstanding
the efforts of the 'lobby' it was laid away
among a number of other bad measures.
Had it not been for the watchfulness of the
member of Assembly from the First Dis
trict, it would, however, have become a
law

The building of the Steuben County Poor
house, N. Y which was burned on Satur-
day night, was made of brick, 80 by 40 feet,
and two stories high. Nearly all the win
dows were grated, and there was only one
mode of egress from each story. No night
watchman was employed about the building,
and there was no fire apparatus. The coun-
ty house is two miles from Bath, and the

An insane epietic from Hornsrsville named
Ford, who was locked in cell on the first
floor, set fire to his bed with match, prob
ably obtained from fellow pauper. All
the partitions were of pitch pine and burned
fiercely. The cries of Ford reused the other
inmates only after the building was filled
with binding smoke. An inmate, who had
Ford in charge, opened Folds door and the
flames burst out and ran along the parti-
tions and up tile stove pipe hole into the
second story. Ford could not be seen on
account of the flames. He had forced his
head between the bars of his window, and
unable to pull it back, was crying for help.
The flames poured out of the window around
his head and he perished. The upper story
was occupied by twenty-five women and
children, and the lower story by eighteen
men. The majority were idiotic, crippled,
or very aged. Five on the first floor and
ten on the second were destroyed.

THE MOTT CASE.

Just previous to the adjournment of the
Legislature, the report of the Mott lnvesti-
eating Committee was read in both Houses,
and adopted. The report shows that Gen
eral Mott as State Prison Keeper has used
the "stretcher," the ''boot-heel gag and
other instruments of punishment, but that
he did so in moderation. 1t further says
that Gen. Mott has proved to be an excel
lent disciplinarian and keeper, and deserving
of commendation for the manner in which
he has managed the prison. When the re-
port came up in the House there was a long
discussion over it, and several members de-
nounced it in very emphatic language The
general opinion among the members was
that Gen. Mott had gone beyond the laws,
and been somewhat cruel in his punishment
The report was adopted in the Assembly by

Messrs. Editors:-I must say something
in praise of the people of Gouldtown. II
came here about the first of May, 1877, as
pastor of the Gouldtown Trinity A. M. E.
Church, stranger in a strange place, and
it may be supposed that was greatly cast
down; but when l came to bring my family,
the people gave me such pleasant recep-
ton, that | felt quite at home. About the
middle of October, the brethren and friends
made me grand surprise in the way of
donation, and gave me about $40 in vegeta-
bles, groceries, flour and money. At Christ
mas, l received some very handsome pres
presented by the members and friends, for
which they have my hearty thanks.
Ihave endeavored to serve the Church to
the best of my ability, and have succeeded
in getting along peaceably and quietly
Now this Conference year is about at an
end, and if l should be changed, all ask is
to fall in the hands of as good people as I
did this year. l have had the pleasure of
marrying but few, but those | did marry,
hope may live long and happily. l have re-
ceived nearly all my salary, and done very
well in my various collections. Last even
ing, Mr.. Bentley W. Rogers very kindly had
an exhibition for my benefit, or rather, to
make up my Conference collections, from
which we realized about $19, very good con-
sidering the weather. Everything passed

An adopted son of the late Mark Hopkins,
the Californian millionaire, has history
quite as romantic as his foster-father' S.
His parents started across the plains about
the year 1862, the family consisting of the
father and mother and three or four chill
dren. The father died on the way, and af-
children reached Sacramento in destitute
condition. Their pitiable plight came to
the knowledge of Mr.. Hopkins, who assisted
the family and maintained them for time.
The widow finally married farmer in the
vicinity of Sacramento, but the son pre-
ferred to remain with his first benefactor.
He is now one of the principal heirs to an
estate of $4,000, 900.
