A cyclone visited portions of Wiscon sin and Illinois on last Friday afternoon doing much damage. Hundreds of houses were blown down, nearly 100 lives were lost and it was estimated that nearly two thousand were wound ed. It win the most severe storm known for many years.

A despatch from Dublin says : Tho excitement caused by tho promul gation of tho views of tho Vntican on tho position of prelates and priests in tho national political agitation intensi fies rather than diminishes. Tho ro cent attempts on tho part of England to ro-estabUsh friendly relutiotis with the Holy Soo were regarded all along with suspicion, and tho close relations of the special envoy, Errington with an Eng lish Cardinal one of the Norfolk family were looked upon as boding no good to Ireland. A memory, too, of tho Minto maiKL'itvros in tho Holy City in the olden days was recalled, and tho commentary was made that never did Britain try to consolato Homo that tho objectivo point was not tho humiliation ui me liisu people inrougn tho Uatliofio priesthood. Frauk Hugh O'Donnell, M. P. for Diinoarvan. in n lpttnrfn 1,. Freeman's Journal is pretty outspoken on tho subject. Referring to tho PopeV circular to tho Irish Bishops, ho says that tho Vatican has been misled by '.ho specious mendacitv which has avail. ed itself of the monstrous ignorance of Irish affairs prevailing at Home. Ho characterizes Errington, who has been the medium of communication between Great Britain and tho Vatican, as a noak and renegade, and says the atten tion of tho Vatican should bo called to the crimo fostered by Englaud'sunforce ment of tho infamous Land Code. In every circle the topic is earnestly dis cussed, and oven tho most loval and devoted to tho Holy Seo in this city, whero tho loyalty and devotion aro re garded as articles of religious faith, aro open and unequivocal in condemnation of a course into which they Bay tho Popo has beon entrapped by specious representation from Eugiish diplomats and certain Irish prelates whom they do not hesitate to name. The press of Ireland is unanimous in opposition to tho sentiments of tho document issued in tho name of tho Pope. Ono news paper says, irreverently, "It is a 'bull,' indeed." Michael Davitt, along with a 10 contribution for tho Purnolluibutc. sends a vigorous letter oxpressintr his indignation at tho action of tho Vatican It will bo an inauspicious dav for tin Catholic Church in Ireland, ho says, when tho people beoomo convinced that tho IIolv Sue. llimurrh imlili.'il itiliimm can bo made tho instrument of English Whig diplomacy, Ho also calls it a trigk, and declares that tlioPurnell fund should bu swelled to 50,000. It is renoitcd that tho Pnnal rescrint has ah. solutely stopped all subscription to tho Parnell testimonial throughout Ros common.

There lived in one houso, ui ine enu oi ino Alien wood, or Union town, bridge, two sisters named Mis, Antes and Mrs. Seifert, aged 79 and 88 yoaiw. They lived very affectionately together,and several times both spoko of their desire to die at the samo time, at they feared that if ono would dio first tho other would bo loft dostituto nnd with no one to care for her. Strnngo to say tho one took sick and died on Friday eveulngabout 7o'clook, and nt eight o'clock tho next morning tho other idso departed her lifo. Thoy were both members of tho Baptist church and devout Christians. On Mon day two hearses, two cofllnsnnd a largo procession of people were seen moving off from their late residence toward the Baptist ceraotery in Grogg township, whero thoy both wero interred In tho same grave. Thoy wero tho last two of a generation. Tlio Condition of Trade. v - 1 nre several olivlous causes for a dull ictall trade this spring, but they do not indicate any positive rovulsion lt business circles. Tho season lias bcon most unpropitlous for spring trade ior l ie Bimpio reason mat we unvo nan no spring. What should have been the spring season and make activity in the large nnd generally diffused spring trade, proved to bo tho lingering of winter and the inovitnblo stagnation oi tho largo trade that only spring can create. We shall now plunge sudden ly into summer, nnd the lost spring trado is1 gone beyond recall. What af fects one important, branch of trade, more or less affects all, and not only tho manufacturer, the wholesaler and tho retailer of spring goods havo felt the effects of the unfavorable season, but every branch of tho retail trade lias been measurably nffected in lika man tier. Anrther cause of stagnation in tho retail trade is overproduction and con sequent revulsion in several of our most important industries. Wo havo largely overproduced iron ; woaro largely over producing coal, and wo are largely overproducing in somo of our fabrics. Overproduction gradually but surely foices reduced prices for products, re duced wages for labor, tho suspension of factories, the enforced idleness of labor, the inability of consumers to pay. nnd revulsion comes quickly in the sen sitive chords of trade. Nor is the ef fects of overproduction limited at pres ent to its substantial results. Thero is a foolish apprehension abroad of gener al financial revulsion and that commands all classes since the yet freshly-remembered bitter experience that 'followed the panic of 18711. Speculative bears are constantly predicting revulsion ns they hopu to profit by it, and small speculators who havo been sheared to nakedness by the great gimblers, ci oak about revulsion and disaster becausa they have gambled themselves into bank ruptcy. Tho true solution of tho present loin porary stagnation in tho retail trade of tho country, is the safe, conservative feeling of the people generally and their determined purpose to keep the country upon tho sound fiiiaueial basis it now enjoys. Thero is no rational ground for business revulsion. The balance of trado is in favor of our people; thecrops of last year were the largest ever known ; tho fields aro green with the promiso of another bountiful harvest ; our agricultural people, the great foun dation of tho nation's prosperity, aro moro freo from debt than at any time since tho inflation of war, and our me chanical and laboring classes aro living within their means 'i'hore have beon failures, but almost wholly in specula tive circles, aud the exceptions have been a few channels whicn are crippled by overproduction ; but the country, taken as a whole, has never been on a sounder basis than now, and if it con sumes less just at this time, it is because it is necessary to enable the people to consume more in tho early future aud pay for it. There is nothing in the present dullness of trado to cause ap prehension ot continued and greater stagnation. Tho causes aro temporary and will speedily correct themselves, and every channel of trado will become healthier and better because the people sensibly take purse even at shadows and wait until their exact latitude can be taken. A country that sells moro than it buys and that has general freedom from debt among its people, has every assurance of substantial and enduring prosperity Times. Dr. T. T.

Sutherland ; Treasurer, Lloyd Slmrpless. Several visiting brethren together with tho pastors of churches In the town wero Invited on motion to take part In tho convention. Tho subject of ministerial courtesy, or what Is due ono pastor to another, was discussed at length. This Is n live question In the Methodist church, and elicited considerable attention. Inasmuch as tho pastors tiro constantly changing, ltcv, W. W. Kvnns thought that ono very Important thing for a pastor to do nftcr ho has been removed from n plnco was to cease to act ns n pastor, As this Is not nlways done It causes trouble. Pas tors visiting members of other churches was considered by Ucv. D. Monroe as a breach of ministerial clltuoltc. Tho rela tion of a pastor to his people, nnd tho peo ple's duty to their pastor, was also thor. oughly ventilated. Tho audience enjoyed the several sallies of wit which this dis cussion called forth. Tho second day's session was devoted to tho further discussion of the pastornl work, nnd tho work of tlio Sunday School. Rev. Buckley spoko upon tho subject of mutual helps nt revivals. He thought the co-operation of Bovcrnl ministers would re suit in an Increased vnrlety of thought, giving greater elllelenoy ns the result. A resolution, tho subject of which wns to make a practical test of the matter, wns presented nnd discussed, by Hov. P. 1J. Kiddle, who thought that Kvangellsts should not ho employed. Hev. W. W. Evans and others made addresses upon tin subject. Itev. Z. Lloyd created n smile by the re- mark that if part of the passengers on board of tho ships ot Zion were thrown overboard, sho would float moro easily.

Monroe inado nd- dresses pro and con, nftcr which tho con vention voted In favor of trying tho matter during the year. The best method of lifting the benevolent col'cctlon3 was discussed by Revs. II. L. Armstrong, W. W. Bvans, It. Wilson nnd others. Tho subject of mission work in unoccu pied fields in the district took up the bal ance ot the morning session. In the after noon tho Pastor's rclntlon to the Sunday School was defined by the Rev. II. C. Par doe. Revs. II. B. Fortncr nnd D. F. Styles spoke upon the quulillcatlons nnd duties of tho Superintendent. Rev. Z. Lloyd nnd others enlarged upon the same sub ject. Rev. D. II. Shields, and J. U. Roto called the attention of tho Convention to the training ot children, as performed In the home, the school and the church. Hev, Lloyd favored the delegates with n hymn, nfter which tlio work of tho teacher was thoroughly discussed for tho remain der of the afternoon's session. A fine es say upon the subject of helps nt the Teach er's disposal was read by L. B. Kllno M. D. WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. An effort was made to take up the topic discussed Tuesday evening, viz: "Tlio Church Lyceum and tho Chautauqua Lit erary nnd Scientific circle, contrasted." After mutual explanations nnd concessions by a number of delegates who participated in the discussion Tuesday evening tho con vention thought it best to take up the reg ular program. Both sessions of Wednes day were occupied In discussing a question peculiar to Methodism since Us beginning that of classes and class meetings. This church, we believe, is tho only one that maintains the necessity of n sub-pastoral relationship. Tho design of the class meeting was the subject of an address by Rev. J. II. Mortimer. Tho two problems for solution in the church of to-day, were : 1st. How to secure attendance. 2nd. How to secure efficient leaders. Rev. W. W. Evans, J. Z. Lloyd, K. D. Lcidy, and others, followed in short nddrcsscs. It was very apparent that the convention was of the opinion that tills peculiar feature of .Methodism was a necessity ns n promoter of spiritual life. Rev. I. II. Torrence, Secretary of the American Bible Society, nnd Rev. M. P. Crosswait were introduced to tlio conven tion. After which tlio duties of tho Lender to his pastor, his members, and to tho church at large, wero defined by Itev..D. Monroe, D. D., 11. C. Purdoc, S. Smith, nnd several others. A special committee of four, with the President as chairman, were selected to arrange for tho next an nual meeting. The afternoon's session wii3 occupied by the delegates in considering the best means to secure the nttenuance ot tho members. Of late years thero has been a neglect on their part, nnd tho church is endeavoring to change tho current. After the question-box had been opened and tho questions answered, the convention ad journed. l'rouiainnie for Memorial Day. Members of Knt Post will meet nt their hall at seven o'clock sharp A. M.
