The third annual convention of the Young Men's Association of the State of Pennsylvania convened in this eity on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 8lh. The first hour was spent iu devotional exercise, af ter which the convention was called to order by II. A. Porter of Pittsburg, Presi dent of the last State convention. - Mr. Porter said that in calling the con vention to order he felt that the keynotes 'of all its meetings had been struck. De- fore assembling here to commence our business, it was exceedingly appropriate that we should first address the MaBter, asking him to help and inspire us. They came there with the weight of a responsibility which no doubt all felt. It was not merely for the purpose of pleas ure that they had assembled, but for a special object, which had refererence to others. Therefore this occasion was a most solemn one, pregnant with great re sults. God has made us instruments in his hands to do his work, and we ought to thank him for what he has done for ns and is still doing. He hoped that all would feel that, "It is not by power, or might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord. The temporary committee were then appointed, after which there was a free discussion on our association work du ring the past year. The committee on permanent organiza sion reported tlie following persons as officers of the convention . President Peter 13. Simons, of Phila delphia; Vice President, Gen. James A. Beaver, of Bellefonte ; Alfred Hand, of Scranton; David E. Small, of York; Secretary, Frank A.Denig, of Pittsburg; Assistant Secretaries, Mathews, of Tidi oute ; II ilea . Pardoe, of Carlisle, and Frank J. French, of Eric. In the evening an immense meeting was held in tli o City Hall, which through the kindness aiid good taste of the ladies had been rendered very attractive.' The following mottoes decorated the wall of tke room "If any in nam?, but one in Ctriit. "Give God the Glory." "God and oar fellow, man." "Tbe fellowship of kiudred minds U like to that above " "The Christians of Scranton greet you," The platform was neatly decora ted with evergreen; and above it the ex pressive word "Welcome." A large choir of ladies and gentlemen added much attraction to the evening by the good music they discoursed. Judge Jones presided at the meeting. Highly interesting addresses were delivered by the presiding officers on behalf of the citizens of Scranton. Rev. Mr. Krohn ou behalf of the churches and II. M. Bo ies, President, on behalf cf the Y.M. C A after which the meeting adjourned II. K. Porter of Pittsburg, on behalf of the convention responded in the address Sf welcome. lie dwelt with j articular t emphasis upon the manifestation of synv pathy which were exhibited, and thanked - . i . i . i .i. i i i : . them in the name of the Lord for it. He was foMbwed with brief addresses by Mr. Peter 11 Simons, of Philadelphia, President of the convention, and Gen. James A. Beaver of Bellefonte, Vice President, both of whom were eloquent aud interesting. SECOND DAY There was a large attendance of dele gates as well as citizens, and the meet ings of the whole day were characterized by an earnestness that showed how deep ly interested all the delegates were in the work.

We give a few extracts of the most important points At the time of holding the List conven tion there were in the State 2S ossocia tions ; two of these have disbanded du ring the year. Forty-one associations have been organized during the year, and efforts are making iu a large number of towns witli good prospects of effecting an organization. 1 be reason tor congratu lation is not the number of associations so much as the spiritual improvement iu our wcrk manifested by all our organiza tions. 1 here are now 67 of them 2 on ly having failed to report : CI associations report a membership of 8562 ; 34 reports expended during the year S31SC4, 19 reported 15,442 volumes in libraics - L Other iniormation ot interest was embod ied in the report regarding the work.

During the most of the year it has been very necessary to em ploy an assistant and part of the time two assistants, but most of the work has been done by the coumittee and vol unteer assistance During the year the committee has circulated 1,000,000 pa ges of printed matter, 15,000 printed let ters and circulars, and over 1,500 writ ten letters ; have had 1000 local and editorial notices of our work inserted at our request in the leading papers iu ev ery county in the State. Recommendations was made for actions on the following eubject : Time and place of the next convention ; Finances of the Executive Committee; Subject of Building; Finances of Association ; Lec tures ; Sermons, etc , Observance sec ond Sabbath of November ; Association monthly ; Temperance and observance of the Sabbath The report closes with the exhortation: "Forgetting those things that are behind, following after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, pa tience, meekness," "Fight the good fight," remembering in our work, that Jesus our elder brother has promised "Lo, I am with you always.". The remainder of the morning session was spent in hearing 3 minutes' report from each association iu the State-which showed a very gratifying condition of the , . ' work. 1 he afternoon session was spent ... . in a highly interesting discussion of the question: "How shall the business affairs 1 . ui uur asDuviakiuu uc iiaueu upuu a oy - tematic basis and thus secure the perma- uy ui .mr rgdu.u.u... . opeu.u uj 'P v r . t:... i r n a j. n r : 7 .1 l.

AMONG THE IXDIAXS. A young girl only sixteen years of age. Miss Ellen A. St. Clair, of Maiden, has just arrived at San Francisco, after a journey in her own coach of nearly 3,- 000 miles in the Rocky Mountains and the Indian country. Mies St. Clair left her home in April, and proceeded by rail to St Lake City By the 1st of May she was fairly started for Montana. Her party consisted of of herself father, and driver. After reaching Yellowstone river they drove themselves, and the young lady boasts of achieving what no other lady ever has done, and that is tbe driving of four-in-hand in an Indian country and across the Rocky Mountains. For over two weeks she was constant ly among the Indians, and never met a white man or any habitation except the Indian lodges. The constant riding of from thirty to forty miles per day wore upon her health, and on reaching the Pacific Railroad she took cars at once for San Francisco, where she will remain for a few week. Miss St. Clair returns home to lecture on her journey during the winter. A Maltese cat, in Corry, whose kittens were taken from her, has adopt ed an Italian greyhound puppy, aud lav ishes upon it all her affections. The sun contains eight hundred times as much matter as all the other bodies of tbe solar system. "11 110 DID THAT!"
