error that congressman must reside in

district which has elected him for 30 many
years. Mr.. Finnerty, congressman elect

troops guarding Neal and Craft,
while on their way to the steamer

mob. The soldiers fired, and several

troops got safely on board, when the
mob seized a train and headed of

another attack was made. The

The Free Methodists of Iowa are
bound to raise the religious standard
much higher than it has hitherto
been raised by any other denomina-
ton. AT their late conference in
Burlington they declared that the
manufacture of wines and cider, the
brewing of beer to be used as bev-
erage or traficking in the same, the
raising and selling hops for brewing
purposes, and the growing using or
trafficking in tobacco for commercial
purposes or common use ia sin
against God and our neighbor, and
that persons guilty of any of the
above practices are not worthy of
membership in a Christian church.
As this resolution not only fixes the
standard for their own church but
declares against any lower standard
in any Christian church, it will be
interesting to hear what the other
churches have to say about it. The
other denominations are prone to ac-
cuse the Free Methodists of general
crankiness and will be very likely
to attribute this utterance to the
same cause.

Conference.
DR.. Bays conducted services Sabbath
evening for the young ladies of the
college. His sermon on the Trans
fguratIon" was ''gem of purest ray
serene" At its clsse Lafferty made
ten minutes talk that will never be for
gotten by any who had the pleasure to
listen.
The Female College is doing finely
here. Teachers and pupils are all hard
at work. Ii has matriculated 100 to
date from 10 States, scattered from
Maine to Florida. Tell all its frinds to
have no hesltancy in sending their
daughters to the Asheville Female Col
lege. In ou- bounds we have no better
Institution. The grandeur and beauty
of this section of the cid North State is
not surpassed by even the far famed
of Tell. Please come up
and let us take stroll up the famous
BEAU Catcher" or a drive to "Conly's
View" In the language of Solomon's
visitor you would exclaim the half had
not been told you.

The Court of Appeals of the State
of New York recently reversed a
decision of a New York court
favorable to the Elevated Railway
Company, who had been sueo by a
man for damages for injury done to
his property BY the construction of
the road i'm front of it. The Court
of Appeals decides that wherever it
Is shown that property has been
damaged by the construction of
such railroads the owner can re-
cover damages TO the extent allowed
by a jury; that, Notwithstanding
the right of way to the railroad
granted by the city, the owner of
the property still has such a right
in the street as entities him TO have
il left open as q public way. This
limits the title of the city 10 the
public streets to the use which they
have been dedicated. The decision
is certainly a just and reasonable
one for prOperty-Owners on business
streets which have been injured by
the railroads.
