We are glad to say that they

1t was not, even when compared
with that of the excursion of the

fore the school yesterday morning
showed that after paying expenses
there was a handsome balance OF

cake was not given and could not be
out of the receipts. We understand
that such treat will be given soon.
The children and teachers of the Fri
day excursion were treated to ten
gallons of the best ice cream and the
finest cake in abundance. As the
weather on that day was very threat
ening, and prevented number of the
children from going, another trial
was given Of similar kind at the
Sabbath School room this afternoon.
The children bad q good time. The
large number (2O6) who went to Fair
Haven had q grand time. The wealth

Flush them Out

Would it not be a good idea to
arrange matters SO that the cutters
in the alleys and streets running from
the higher points of the city could be
regularly flushed out from the by
drants? Indeed would it not be well
to see that all cutters that may be
reached are so washed out and that
often. The stencil that arises from
some of them is simply nauseating.
They engender scarlet and other
fevers. Cholera infantum fuds q
congenial home along their borders
This matter should be regularly look
ed alter. 1t should be efficiently done.
1t would make the drinking water in
the houses supplied from the pipes
much clearer and purer thus to turn
on the street hydrants at least 3 times
a week during bot weather and the
fall, aside from the sanitary effect on
the general health of the people. 1t
would amply pay for the City Faith
ers to put in additional hydrants to
reach all such cutters as may be
reached but which are now reeking
with sediment. This matter ought
to have immediate and careful consid-

Mn. EDIToR Permit me to say a
few words to The republican party OF
this county.
The time to prepare for the fall
campaign is at hand. The democrats
are moving. They are trying to patch
up their quarrels over the spoils and
uuite the party at the congressional
election so as to re-elect Mr.. Comp
ton. Whether they succeed in bury :
ing the hatchets or not, is matter OF
little importance 10 the republican
party. is our duty to act in har-
mony; to lay aside all petty jealous
les and personal spites-the political
arena is not the place to settle person
al quarrels. Some of the very best
men in the State are Anne Arundel
county republicans but these are held
back by few who seek to rule or
ruin. They will not allow their names
to be used as candidates for local of
fees, because they do not know who
of their own party may light them
behind the bush,"
But the election this fall is not a
local matter. 1t is national in its
character and we of Anne Arundel
are only part of the whole. We
should do nothing therefore that will
affect that whole. We owe it to the
other counties composing the district
to be oDour good behavior and be able
to say to them, "Help US tonomlnate a
standard bearer, and we will do our
very best to elect him." That is your
duty as party men and as voters. If
you fail TO get your favorite nominal
ed, don't sulk Don't say, / don't
like the man, and don't care if be is
beaten. That would not be acting

you would be "bad egg"
like TO see a man stick to bis

that gives him no cause to oppose

Vermont Methodist Conference.

The forty-second session of the Vermont
annual conference will be held at Chelsea
commencing April %, which will be the
third Methodist conference session in that
tOwn-the first having occurred in July,
1Si0 when the New Hampshire and YER
mont conference held its eleventh annual
session there, and the second being the
twenty-eighth of the Vermont conference, in
1S72-says correspondent of the Boston
journal. The present membership of the
conference is one hundred twenty-four, of
which lightweight are pastors of churches,
four are presiding elders, one is the presi-
dent of the Conference Seminary at Mont
pelier, fourteen are on the supernumerary
list and seventeen are superannuated. One
member has died during the year Nineteen
local preachers, not members OF the confer
ence, are also employed in pastoral work
within its bounds, who with the eighty
eight above mentioned and the four presid-
ing elders, make total of one hundred
eleven men who will be subject to the action
of the presiding bishop and his appointing
power. OF this number, all the presiding
elders and twenty-eight of the pastors will
have reached the full term of service in their
respective positions and must, therefore, be
changed, while there are thirty-tive who
have served two years and forty-four who
are closing their first year of service in their
present appointment. The changes which
must occur are very likely to be supple
mented in number by other changes which
will seem expedient, as well as by some
which will result from complications attend
ing the entire change in the board of presid-
ing elders. The conference will also take
action upon proposition submitted at the
last session TO reduce the number of presid-
ing elder districts to three, involving, of
course, a corresponding decrease in the num-
Der of presiding elders. No other confer
ence in New England except the New En-
gland conference has more than three pre-
siding elders, and as that maintains two
hundred twenty-four pastoral appointments,
while the Vermont conference has one hun
dred twenty, it is argued that the proper
ton in Vermont is excessive. The time
seems opportune for whatever change in
this respect may be advisable, in view of the
entire reorganization of the cabinet, which
must occur in any event. The Vermont con-
ference has accepted, without any DISPOSE
ton to rebel, the decision of the general
conference to retrocede the Burlington dis
trict to the Troy conference, although the
| feeling is unanimous that a gross injustice
has been done by this action. The confer
ence is loyal however, to the spirit of Meth
odism, and will continue to bear the nius-
! tice without any recourse to complaints or
threatenings of rebellion or secession. The
year now closing has been one of general
encouragement to the Methodist churches in
| Vermont, and marked revival spirit has
prevailed during the winter, with some in
stances of remarkable development in this
regard.
