THE WELSH NIINIsTERIAL AssOCIA-


The annual meeting of the State IS
ISOLATION OIL Welsh Churches opened at
the Welsh Presbyterian church on Fri
day evening. Rev. David Saunders,
visitor from Wales, occupied the pulpit
and delivered very pleasant and in
structive discourse from the words, BE
diligent, that ye may be found of Him
in peace" IL Peter, PA
Saturday the conference met and
discussed the business of the churches.
Ministers present: Rev Henry Rees,
prasldcnt; Rev T. G. Jenes, secretary of

Thomas, ArEonIsi w. Lewis, Dry
Creek; j. ID. Thomas. lately from
Wales, and Rev. Thomas Job and Rev
DaYid Saunders, visitors to the associa-
ton.
1t would seem that the condition of
the Welsh churches throughout the state
is very satisfactory one, and if the en-
thusiasm of these ministers is at all an
index to the work, the Welsh churches
are certainly doing grand work.
In the afternoon, splendid time was
had in five-minute speeches by the pas
tors and delegates, on the subjects of
1.-THE cultivation. of unity among the
churches and "The characteristics of u
successful church" Among the inter-
esting speakers were L. w. Lewis, Da-

Wilson's bosom and drive him TO des.
perate resolves, and yesterday afternoon
he began carrying on at great rate,
making q rope of some Of the bed cloth

with it. Some of his companions raised
the alarm and Jailor Beers answered the
summons, aud found Wilson in halt
crazed state from rage. He is a very
powerful man, and Mr.. Beers sent out
for a policeman To assist in claiming
him down. Policeman Romano ar
