The Protestant and Reformed Episcopal
G hurChes.
yesterday.

ne FFOteSIant anu REFORMED Episcopal
e Churches.
The organization of league in New
York city, composed Of members OF the
Protestant Episcopal and the Reformed
Episcopal churches, for the purpose OF re-
uniting the two denominations, formerly
one communion, has created great deal
of comment. The separation took place
about twenty-three years ago, and one of
the leading spirits in it was Rev. James A.
Latane who was then rector of church in
Wheeling, W. Va, having resigned the
rectorship of Trinity church Stanton to
accept it. He was a man of great force
and was soon made Bishop in the new
church. His successor at Trinity was Rev.
w. @. Hullihen, who preached sermon
against the separation which attracted
much attention throughout the country
from its ability, and it's arguments were
adopted generally by the opponents Of sep
aration.
In Baltimore last week, Bishop Latane
was interviewed about the probable success
of the new league. He said:
1.-THE separation Of our church from the
Protestant Episcopal church is a hopeless
division because of the extreme difference
between our so called low-church views
and the high-church views of the other
denomination. The clergy Of our church
besides will not accept the idea of apostolic
succession and are totally at odds with
| r. nf tho PRO.
testant Episcopal church. The idea that
the Reformed Episcopal church is DESTROYS
of re- entering the Protestant Episcopal
communion on account Of the weakness of
our denomination, is preposterous and
wholly untrue. Our church at present
numbers 10000 communicates and lOO
clergy. Among it's institutions is a theo-
logical seminary at Philadelphia which
cost $500, O0O."

j, CHURCHvILLE, March 16.-We had no
snow to amount to anything during the
winter. March, however, brought some
along to remind us of tho fact that it could
snow sure enough. The first one last week
was. as near as I could estimate it, from
six to eight inches, and would have been
deeper, but it melted a good deal as it fell.
Yesterday Sunday about half as much
more fell. About dark drizzling rain set
, in, kept it up all night and it is still at it.
Last Friday and Saturday Mr.. John
Lewis Smith moved from his abode to
the property he bought of J. N. Wilson.
He will occupy the old Sterrett house until
he can build. Mr.. Newlin moved to the
Evans farm formerly occupied by Mr.. G..
D. Butcher. Mr.. Butcher bought the Tom
Smith property and expects to remodel and
enlarge it as soon as the weather will adj
nit of it. Mr.. Carroll bought property of
Tom White in our village, into which he
expects to move soon. Mr.. Carroll is at
present occupying the property Of Mrs. Jim
Hanger of Washington.
Mrs. H. II. Hanger returned last week
from Salem, Va, whittier she had gone on
account of her son Harry g illness. He has
80 far recovered as to resume his studies
at college.
Young Ashby is better. so We have
heard. At one time his recovery was
thought to be doubtful, but now it is
thought he will ultimately recover.
Mrs. j. III. Temple was summoned to the
burial of her sister, Mrs. Margaret Erwin
who died on Thursday night last. and was
buried on Saturday at Messy Greek church.
Rev. Mr.. Paul conducting the services.
Mrs. Temple is the only one left of her
fathers family-Bethuel Herring of Long

the river. OF many families it can be said
the majority of them are gone from us.
The meeting closed a week ago last Sun
day night. We had nine weeks OF religious
Some 200 or more professed con-
version during the meetings at this place.
During the same time Rev. G.. M. Howard
was engaged in conducting services at
Union Church, where quite a number pro-
fessed. At West View, six miles South of
this place. another meeting was held at
about the same time. All of the meetings
were well attended and were quite sue
cessful.
The U. B. preacher will leave for con-
ference suppose to-day or tomorrow as
his conference meets on Wednesday. The
M. E. Conference meets just a week later,
and judge the Methodist preacher is also
making his preparations for conferen ce.
So far as know the preachers expect to
be returned to their present work.

An Important decision to Counties.

NO DISTRICT SCHOOL TAX CAN BE COL
LECTED FROM RAILROADS.
In the Supreme Court of Appeal at
Richmond Thursday, Judge Cardwell hand
ed down the opinion in the case Of the
New Y ork, Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail-
road Company against the Board of Super
visors OF Northampton county. The ques-
ton involved was the power of the super
visors to tax the company for district
school purposes. The court decided that
supervisors had no right tol levy on railroad,
telegraph and telephone companies for dis
trict school purposes. and the decree of the
lower court was reversed and the injunc.
tion was perpetuated. Anticipating the
verdict of the court, the Legislature at it's
recent session prepared an act to correct
the defects in the law existing when the
levy in Northampton was made, but it
died in committee. The following letter
from Senator Eugene Withers, shows how
the act failed opass and the consequence
of the failure:
"Mr. E. W. Saunders, of Franklin, be-
coming cognizant of the tendency of this
suit examined the record and was convinced,
that the law was defective, and that the
decision would be in favor of the railroad
company. He Immediately introduced a
bill to remedy the defect in the existing
law SO as to insure the collection of these
taxes. That bill died in committee. I'm
der this decision perfectly just and prop
er one, the present statute being defective,
not dollar can be collected for district
school purposes in any county in the State
from any railroad, telegraph, telephone or
canal company.
Respectfully.
EUGENE WITHERs.
