BLACK SHEEP IN THE FLOCK.

In the African Methodist Episcopal Church in
Jamaica. l.. l., yesterday afternoon. the Rev. Mr..
Mowbray pronounced sentence Of accommodation
against three female and four male members. who
had been tried by the Official board on charges OF
conduct unbecoming Christians and convicted. Not
having appealed to the conference the decision Of the
board became conclusive. II seems that the sisters
went to ball last Thanksgiving Eve and danced with
the Skidmore Guards of Brooklyn. One of the men
offended by buying tickets In the Havana lottery.
Some of the sisters had talked about their pastor,
alleging that he frequently said queer things to
them; but he denied II and the official board declared
him guiltess, but the sisters insist that they werc
not examined ut ALL Yesterday OF them said that
she would prefer charges against the pastor at the
next conference and probably against one Of the
brothers too.

Speaker of the Assembly Is about seventy 1--WE years

sprghtincss, however, might lead one to suppose
that he was at least forty years younger.
There IL not o shadow OF doubt in my mind,

ing the skin for butchering. laid it
aside until he could attend to il on
the morrow. The clock struck ten
before the two men separated Tor
the night, each chuckling oyer the
success of the undertaking.
A week passed, and one morning
HenIy came to Wade's door quite
early to ask if be bad seen anything
of bis heifer. OF course Wade was
mum-sAid he had not been to his
pasture for week or more (which
was true), and of course could give
no light on the subject. Herly IN
quired of all the neighbors, but no
one had seen heifer with q white
spot on her forehead. Then for the
first time it occurred to Henly that
Wade had been playing trick upon
him, perhaps in revenge for the
turkey affair which he had kept so
silent about; so he went home,
walked into the barn where the
hide was hanging, gave it thor
ough examination, and there dis.
covered the chalk marks upon the
star 70 the forehead. AT first his
Indignation knew no bounds; but
on further reflection he concluded
it was best, on the whole, to keep
dark, as he had promised. He had
slaughtered his own heifer and who

ed the trick or not as they both
kept silent on the su iect.
