When we first read the account of the doings of the mob, we thought it might be somewhat exaggerated, but recent information leaves no doubt as to its truth, if in reality, a fair account of the proceedings can be conveyed in a written statement. Art ex change in referring to the affair says that the Conference was composed, as is uni formly the case, of the regularly ordained itinerant ministers laboring within a given region, theft only object being to preach the Gospel. But these ministers belonged not to the M. E. Church, South but to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the slave holders of Fannin county resolved that their presence should not be tolerated.— They therefore appointed a vigilance com mittee of fifty to wait upon them and warn them not to prosecute further the business, of their Conference, and to order their departure from the county on pain of having lynch law applied to them. The foUowing appears to be a fair statement of the way in which these gentlemen per formed their mission: On the Shbbath, the great day of the Conference, Bishop Janes was in the pulpit, and the intro ductory services were in progress, when, from the windows of the obnroh, far away on the level plain, might he seen some horsemen approaching. The house was about two-thirds full, when they knelt in prayer; on arising, the horsemen had ar rived, tied their horses, and crowded into every open place in n tlie house. As the Bishop arose to anhouce his text, the leader of the mob, about three feet;from the Bishop before him, exclaimed, “Ihave spme business, shy rather unpleasant to me, and more so, to yon ; we have resolved fn public meeting that yon shall not preach or hold meetings in these regions.” The Bishop replied that it was not his place to decline to preach; it was for the society living there and owning the house to de cide whether it could be occupied that morning according to appointment, and unless the trustees or proper authorities forbade him, he moist preach. The leader of the mob replied threateningly, declaring that in all that region Methodist societies should no longer be tolerated. The' firm? ness of Bishojp Janes enabled him to finish his sermon. The Conference, we understand resolved to disperse rather than provoke such a breach of the peace. We regret that the New Orleans Christian Advocate approves of this gross outrage upon a body of Christian ministers, and of its own denomination to! Whom the Gods wish todestroy they first make mad ! Slavery is working its own cure! \ Feabpul Mortality.— -In a boarding school for boys located in the village of Orange, Haven, county, Connecticut, aoine fear weeks.since, a malignant disease made itci appearance, which Has since pas sed like a, simoon over the whole town, Jifce *hc plague of Egypt, carrying off whole families, and almost depopulating the. village.

The scene on the wharf-; during the - fire is said to have heen'dis- , agreeably animated. 1 Death of Mr. Church.— We regreat to learn that Joseph M. Church, Esq., member of the late Legislature from Philadelphia,, died in New York city a . few days since, of congestion of the lungs. Mr. Church was highly esteemed and the announcement of his sudden death will cause universal regret. The Inquirer says that for many years he was connec ted with the press as a writer of no ordi nary industry. In 1838-he was connec ted with several of the weekly journals and subsequently came to that city, after laving taken some part in the “ Dorr war,” in Rhode Island. Mr. Church is the third gentleman elected to the late Legis- 1 lature who has died. The first was his colleague, Mr. Wood, of Philadelphia, and the second Mr. Balliettof Carbon. Fining a Juror. —The Pottstown Ledger says that a Mr. Samuel R. Ellis, of that place, was summoned as a Juror in the U. S. Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and was fined 850 by Judge Cadwalader for having ex pressed an opinion after having been em panneled as a' juror. The case in trial was that of Jndge Vondersmith, of Lan caster county, for committing pension frauds. Mr. Ellis asked to be excused from serving as a juror on the case, as he had expressed an opinion. The Judge asked how long since he had expressed the opinion, when he replied about a week ago, and since he had been put on the present panel of jurors. The-Judge di rected the clerk to mark the juror excu sed, and also to mark him fined 850 for expressing his opinion publicly about a case which he was empanneled to try. Contracts Falling Due on Sunday. —The Superior Court of New York has given a decision of importance upon this subject. The particular case was that of a policy of life insurance expiring on Sun day, the premium upon the renewal of which was not tendered till the following Monday. The Court decided that when, from accident, or mutual error, the day of fulfilling an agreement falls on Sunday, there is enough of principle and authority to justify the party in deferring his per formance to the Monday ensuing, without impairing a right or incurring a forfeiture. The Wheat Crop in Ohio.— -The prospects of the wheat crop throughput Central and Eastern Ohio, were never, it is said, more promising than they are. at thiis time.

On a Visit.—The Tyrone Star says the wribme arrived at that place on Friday morning last, in' the train from Philadelphia. ' Seeing ■fP® editors pre always so busy that they can not go visiting, we suppose bur papers thought they would run down and see how sur friends in the P ttaker City were getting along, and let them know we are still about. Handling Notes.'—Peterson's Detector wmns parsons who are compelled to handle bank notes, not'to wet their thumbs while coun ting bank notes.

A singular occurrence, says the Knick erbocker, of the 271 h, was discoveradin a vault attached to one' of outburial grounds on Sunday hut. It wms that of » female, wbo was deposi ted therein for dead some two months since, being found, on opening the coffin, to be lying op her side with one hand under her head.— From tide it was evident that the woman was •live when placed there, and awaking from the trance into which she had fallen, endeavored to extricate herself from her entombment. This, of course was an impossibility; the cover was not only screwed down tightly, but the space : was toA contracted to allow of even ah.efforL— It was evident, however, that the unfortunate woman became convinced of this fact, and con cluded to die. She therefore took the easy posture in which she was found, and breathed her last. The thought that they had buried her while yet alive set her friends almost crazed. The body was that of a woman who formerly resided in the Bowery. The father and mother of the deceased had just arrived from the old country last week, and were brought to the vault to see their child. The scene is related as heart-rending. This is another instance of too hasty burial. Law is' North Cabohsa. — A man named Elias Newville has been convicted, in Halifax county, N. C., of the murder of a man named Phillip's, and sentenced to be hung. A corres pondent of the Petersburg Express says : That the conviction of Newville was the result of the cruel hardship of the law, as our Supreme Court has laid it down, all admit. That he ought to be pardoned, if a new trial is not granted him, all concede. He is a poor man with a large family. He killed one because he had made a base proposal to hie wife, and when she rejec ted it, seized her with great violence, (she far gone in pregnancy,) threw her down, and endeavored by force to accomplish his object!— For killing such a brutal and New ville is guilty of murder. Sickles killed Key for adulterous intercourse with his wife—that wife being willing and consenting to the act, yet he is guilty of no crime, and the verdict of his ac quittal is received with shouts of applause, and a burst of enthusiastic apptov&l. But what of all that ? The one is a poor, humble man—the other, a member of Congress! A Cube fob Sueep-Killinq Doqs. —An agri cultural writer gives the following recipe to cure vicious dogs from killing sheep, which may be pf some importance to our wool-growing readers. The writer says: Select the stoutest and most vicious old nun in your .flock, and shear'him close; then get a small Manilla rope thirty five feet long, tie one end around the ram’s neck and the other end around the dog’s neck, and turn them into a ten-acre field well cleared of stumps, and let them remain two hours; and if that old ram don’t knock all the sheep-killing propensities out of that dog, why then, as Samuel Stonestreet would say, “ I hope I may never see chinkapin time again.” That dog will never have the courage to look a sheep in the face again. This may be an excellent way of effecting the object, but for our part we think it might be accomplished with far greater safety and expedition through the agency of three cents worth of striefanine administered to the canine in his food. Eissi.no. —The editor of the Memphis Enqui rer says that a man should never attempt to kiss a lady’k*hand without knowing whether it would be agreeable to her. Upon this Prentice remarks: But pray how is he to ascertain whether it would be agreeable or not ? Mast he, as a preliminary, or rather as a feeler, squeeze her hand a little to see how she likes that ? or should he make a direct and formal proposition to her ; my dear creature, please let me kiss yonr hand? or should he gaze steadfastly into her eyes until he sees, written distinctly upon the retina, “ please kiss me, sir ? or until she presents him with the little flower "jump up and kiss me ?” G heat Walking Match—The Pedestrian Beaten.— On Monday last, on the Union Course, Long Island!, the walking ma tch by Mr. Addams against time for $2OO, the pedestrian to walk four miles in thirty minntes. a fair heel and toe walk, took place. The day was fine, and the at tendance was large. From the start Addams walked his best, making the first mile in 7 min utes and 28 seconds; the first two miles in 16 gninntes and 35 seconds, and the four miles in ol minutes and 44 seconds, losing the match by 1 minute and 44 seconds. Previous to starting, betting was lively, Addams having tne call at $lOO to $BO. Killed bt a Wolf.— The Tuscola (C. W.) Pioneer relates that a man a few days since, while chopping in the woods some miles west of Lexington, Lenilac county, nedr his own bouse was attacked by a wolf, which at the first sig nal grasped his victim by the throat. The wife standing at the door of the house, sow the posi tion of her husband, and running up, seized his axe, and with one blow on the back of the wolf so disabled him as to make him release his hold. A few more blows finished him entirely, but not until the wolf hod succeeded in cutting the throat of her husband so that he died almost immediately. * French Flour. —Several samples of French wheat and flour were lately exhibited in Balti more. There were three grades of flour made at Paris,: and Abbeville, which were ex amined by miller, and pronounced superior ,to best city flour The samples-of wheat were red from Layon and Nantz, and white Belgium from Antwerp. The flour, it ia said, will pay a duty of fifteen per cent., and can then be sold for a less price than that made by the mills of Balti more. To import flonr is a novelty, when the United States for years furnished bread for a largo part of western Europe. The Suicide “ Dodge.”—A man, calling him self Lamartine, is -wandering through the West and raising funds, by pretending to commit sui cide. He takes laudanum and sends 'for a doc tor and clergyman. They come to him and find a letter in his room in the most pathetic style of suicide literature. He states that his pover ty is the cause of the rash act. He is restored •with difficulty, and sympathetic people raise A purse for him, and he departs. He raised $26 in this way last week at Dayton and $4O at Sandusky, and departed with a “free pass’* on -the railroad, to commit suicide at some other place. In Paris a large number of girls, selec ted for their beauty of form and face, ore hired by the dry goods dealers to show off goods.

Dahoxsoux Pkxachxx.— Dr. Cross, in a letter to the Richmond Advocmte, dagnrreotypes a southern preached in part, thus: “He encom passes himself with rainbows, and meteors, and earthquakes, and cataracts, and hurricanes, and water-spouts, and showers of gems, and torrents of fire, and boondiesa conflagrations, and mar shaled philosophies, and trooping seraphim, and the stupendous wheels of Providence, and the silver ehlming of the spheres, and the weltering chaos of demolished worlds.” Youthful TiuAuta —A shocking case of de pravity is that of two young men named Ariel French and .Hoary* W. Moran, who are in jail at Syracuse, Hew Ybrk. They had put obstruc tions on a railroad track and hid behind a tree near by, with a rib* of plunder, which the dis aster would give them a chance for. Luckily a hand oak came along, and the danger was re moved. Hanging ;is too good for the scamps, by half. Loko Pastorat*. —The Prttbyterian Magazine says: “In the Presbyterian Church we kno wof ho pastorate of longer duration than that of Dr. Spring, which is nearly half a century.” We know of one which is probably still nearer to the half century. { Rev.

He still serves the same congregation: and with great acceptance. JK&“ We have received a copy of the Milton Democrat, a new paper published by A B. Hall, formerly of Mileshurg, Centre county, Pa.
