Conference Boundaries.

The following from the pen of the Rev,
DIR. Wentworth recently appeared il. west
ern Methodist publication: In 1859 the
Troy Conference was formed from the north
ern limb of the New York conference, and
one half of the State of Vermont was in
cluded in it, while the eastern side remained
with the New Hampshire conference ill
1874, when it was set off and constituted a
little conference of three districts between
the Connecticut river and the Green Noun
tain range The boundary committees OF
1860 and 1880 would have shown more
sense if, instead of Remembering the Troy
conference to make a small conference II
trifle larger, they had rehitched the Yer
mont conference to the New Hampshire
conference One of the great points in
the present dispute is the arbitrary dis
tribution of conference boundaries by gener
al conferences without regard TO the wishes
of the people residing in the territory. The
partition of the Troy conference in 1850 was
followed by remonstrance and secession I'M
I'll the general conference of 1868 made par
tial restitution by the restoration of the
