Q Presbytery having more than twenty.
four ministers shall be entitled 10 tive
votes, and In the like proportion for every
twenty.four such ministers belonsinS "a
the Piesbytery."
Elder Judge Ollie, Of the committee
prevtouslyappointed to report concerning
the church property at Point Pleasant,
reported that no action Of this body, nor
Of the individual members Of said church,
can dlvest the church OF It's title 10 said
property.
The committee to organize a church at
Arnoldsburgh, Calhoun county, reported
the organization Of q church Of twenty
members, with three Elders and one Dea.
con. Said action was approved, and the
name Of the church placed upon the roll
Of the Presbytery.
NIGIlTsEsSloN.
P~resbyterY was called to order at 7:25
o'clock. Prayer by Rev. ]. B. Reed. Ac.
cording to previous announcement, a con.
ference was held on the subject OF "Rellg.
ion in the Family"
Rev. George N. Fleming and Rev. DR..
Young were announced to speak on the
topic, each ten minutes. Mr.. Fleming
opened the discussion In remarks that
held the large audience assembled with
much interest. The thought OF his al.
dress was that there Is danger Of putting
q premium on q reckless life by putting
too high q comparative estimate on the
reformed. Those who are trained in the
truth from infancy are more reliable in the
common affairs OF lie, as well as In the
church. The sensational are generally
those who have been reformed, They find
abetter way than the old wy, which, after
oil, is the best way.
DR.. Young said there was no more thrill
ing period than that when the young
mother and father embraced for the first
time their hrst.born. A young immortal
has Just been launched. To what mort
bound2 Is the the important question to
the parent, Often Its spiritual training Is
neglected for the less important physical
and mental training. The child Is more
important than the man. One point es-
peCially he desired to call attention to: the
Importance and the decay OF family wor.
ship. Upon Its importance he dwelt for
some minutes, and made a most edifying
address.
Rev. Mr.. Gould told how the Gospel
might be sung; and Rev. Mr.. Flanagan
spoke Of the mothers influence,
Key. j. b. Reed thought there wasa dis
position on the part Of parents TO shirk
the great responsibility Of training their
children. Rev. Mr.. Duncan called atten-
ton to the Importance of bringing the
children to public worship. The interest.
ing discussion was closed by Rev, d. II.
Jordan, Of the NJ. L. Church.
A committee consisting Of Rev. @. G..
Gould and Ruling Elder BENJAMIN Gould,
was appointed to visit Lebanon Church,
and inquire into the expediency Of trans.
the membership to some other
church, and disbanding the organization
at that point, and ordered to the next
meeting Of the Presbytery.
Adjourned with the benediction by the
MODERATOR OWENS.

THE COST OF STRKE.-Those hot headed
young men at Jackson, Port Huron and else
where, who in 1877 stopped the railroad trains,
probably never supposed their ill-advised action
would result in any cost to the state whose
laws they were violating. They never waited
to consider anything probably, bat the tax
payers now have to foot the bills. The bill to
appropriate 1000 to reimburse the military
fund for the expense Of calling out the state
troops is now law. The actual expense in
Cured by the state during the railroad strike,
as shown by the governors message, was S25,
200 Go. At the time there was no money in the
military fund to meet this expense, and the
state treasurer and auditor general anticipated
the amount which would DO credited TO the
military fund on the 1st of January, 1879, and
the bills were paid. So large sum taken from
the military fund would practically leave the
military system bankrupt, and to prevent this
the bill was introduced, aud its passage helps
the fund TO that amount. The financial emer-
gency caused By the railroad strike will be pre-
vented by new lw, which has passed both
houses. II allows money to be drawn upon the
estimates of the qusrtermaster general, when
ever necessary to call out troops to suppress
riots without any further red tape or circum-
locution.

The following ara few sample extracts
from the newspaper, Southern States, of April
9th, published at Oloona, showing the spirit
OF the southern democracy:
We will wipe out the last trace and vestee
OF the Reconstruction Acts the last taiut and
blotch OF Radical legislation aud leave our
proud old States with the same laws aud the
same liberties that they possessed ia 1861. The
Democratic party demands nothing more and
VIII be content with nothing less than the
restoration of the Old Planter Republic or the
Fathers"
But the right OF Secession Will be vindicafed
for the purpose OF history. the maintenance or
liberty and the protection OF posterity."
MEssRs. SoFI-sHELLs: have you read that
speech OF Representative Blackburn vet? He
says, and we say. that the las vestige OF the

+" Yes, il IS Revolution, as the Bloody shirters
bawl,
And before ii shall their idols and their insii-

What do loyal men, both Democratic and

they not clearly revolutionary, and do they not
mean another Rebellion?
