t , Here are _materials for reflection. The
railway interest has become one of the most
important in the Commonwealth,.- not only
in itself, but hi its bearings upon other in
f terests. That railways do their work well is
attested by the remarkable statement that of
.nineteen million, and &quarter of passengers
carried,. shorter' or -longer distances,: last
year, only ten were killed and seventy-six
injured. This is a significant commentary
on the periodic outcries raised against rail
ways as traps on'whicli to' catch - and destroy
people. ' •

REGULATIONS FOR PARDONS
IMMIM
smidiotrsINTFLLIGENCE.
The recent tiession of the -Pittsburgh An-
Con&rence of the.yethodist Episcopal
Church, was one of more thlin ordinary .
interest to the members of that denomina—
tion, and also in Some respects: to the religi
ons public. genemlly. This Conference of.
ministers was organized about thirty years
ario, and occupied a wider's 6 epe of territory"
than now, and few in num r, has grown to,
be one of'' the largest and most influential in
the Connection, numbering at two hun
dred' ministers on its roll. Among the im
portnnt actions of the body as, the increase
of , districts- from nine to eleven, and the
reconstruction of the wor -is this city and
neighborhood. •ForitaerlY the •eity - and
country work extending i one direction. to
Freeport and Butler, arid' n another `along
the Pennsylvasia railroad to Irwin' station,
was but one d ~.i strict. - Ipow -- the city and
country, within ;t circle of fifty'to.one hun
dred miles, is sub-divided into five districts,
centering in this citr. sy thismeans the city
and eountrYy work is equalized, and the min
itterial power : of these chief , miffisters
will be'felt more sensibly in this place, and,
besides, each chargels,insitred - more of the'
presence of thopreSiding-7elder.than former
ly, at the qiiiirieffi4ittiitions: Lay repre
sentation never assumed the importance be
fore it did ou this occasion, and special ac
tion was taken in view of the early meeting'
of the General Conferenceltt Chicago. The
action of the Conference was highly conser
vative. and falls shOrt of the radical views
entertained in some quarters. The .dele
gates'elected are of the same type and their
views in accordance with the . vote of the
Conference on this question. Questionable
amusements, elsewhere noticed, werelplaced
under ban and condemned in decided. lan
guage. The election of
• Rev. Dr. Nesbit to
the General Conference, by a vote of four
fittlis of the number cast, and , the excellent
report op the fiscal condition of . the Pitts:
burgh Christian Advocate, were complimen
tary •in the highest degree. • This Confer
ence, as well as the Western . Virginia Con
ference, two of the three patronising Con
ferences of the paper, have instructed their
delegates to the General ConferenCe, to vote
for hls re-election, as editor of the Advocate.
These delegates having a majority, - his re
turn to ,the editorial chair for the third
Quadrennial term, without a precedent, is
insured beyond peradventure. Numerous
as the , changes have been in the appoint
ments in the city and immediate -neighbor
hood, we observed that Rev.M. 11. LoCke,
A. M., is returned to Liberty street Church
for the second year, and also Rev. L. F.
Morgan, D. IX, •to Christ Church,
and Rev. Dr. H. 3liller to Smith
field street Church: The Rev. Dr.
Pershing, President of ~ the Pittsburgh
Female College, who has been the• Secretary
of the Conference for twelve ;ears, though
quite a young minister compared with
others in the body, has been honored twice
with an election is.s. Delegate to the General
Conference. Although such names talliev.
Dr. R. S. Foster, of New York City 4 who
received a large vote for Bishop .four -ears
ago, and President Bowman, of the In "ana,
Asbury University, are before the C arch
prominently for the high office of the Epis
copate, yet such are the superior executive
abilities and other qualifications of. President
Pershing, that his name has been favorably
spoken of in connection with - that office.
This, to say the least, is highly creditable to
this worthy minister: •- -
From the full ,reportstof the Zadependent
of the great revival at Westerly, R. 1., under
the labors of Rev. 3. D. Potter, the ;well
known evangelist, we learn that nearly two
hundred were, converted in connection with
his labors oeseverta days. '
The eligant new house of Worship just
erected in, Mercer, Penna., by the
,Second
United Presbyterian eongregation, was form
ally opened for divine services on Sunday,
the 15th inst. The structure is eighty-two
feet in length and forty-sevetirt width. The
services of the day were coniNcted by Drs.
Gmcey and Kerr, of Pittsbnigh. The servi
ces of these divines are reported tip being
deeply interesting. '

A Son Kills the Murderer of Ills Fattier.
Sixteen years ago a desperado named
John Pike, living near D,yeusburg, Ky.,
on the Cumberland river, killed, without
provocation, his neighbor named White.
For this he was sent to the penitentiary for
several years. White's son, Samuel, was
~
ten years of age when his father was mur
dered, and ihen vowed that he would kill
Pike whenever he should meet him. _For a
long 'while he did not succeed in doing so.
On Saturday evening, however, Pike took
passage on, the Cumberland steamer Tyrone
tOr Dycusburg, accompanied by his wife and
1 daughter. White was, second engineer of
the boat, and Pike had been warned of the
hitter's threat, but did not heed it. The se—
quel is -thus described by the Nashville
Banner: --
Pike had not been long on the boat . be
fore his presence was discovered by young
White, who determined to at once avenge
the of his parent, and accordingly
watched his opportunity. Before the boat
had started out from the wharf at Paducah,
Pike 'went forward •to the right staircase,
leading to the deck, when he was 'accosted
by White with the words: "You murdered
my father; for that I intend to kill you," at
the same time, drawing and snapping his
pistol. This having .failed, he quickly
• raised a five-eighth inch iron poker, which
he held in one hand, and knocked Pike
` headforemost from the top to the foot of the
steps. Pike had no sooner reached the hot
.tom of the staircase than White, was upon
him, inflicting violent blows with the poker
on bighead, one of which fractured the
skull and exposed the brain. At this junc
ture White was pulled awaj.:by those who
hact been attracted• to the spot, though he
pleaded that he might'be permitted to avenge
the death of his father by killing the mur
derer. So bad was the , character of Pike
that no one seemed disposed to help him up
from where he lay bleeding from five or six
' deeply cut gashes. His wife and
_daughter,
screaming.with grief and terror, went, at
- last, to '.his assistance. The - wounded man
asked his wife to take him up, to the boiler
deck. She replied she could not do so of
herielf, but when she, in an agony of tears,
looked pleadingly around, some gentleman
assisted the miserable man up the steps.
He was laid upon the boiler deck, a pbyst
-1 elan was called, and his wounds dressed.
Pike.was by no means conquered. He
freely confessed to• having killed White's
father, but . swore that it lie lived to get
over his present wounds, that lie would kill
the son also. , White was arreated, taken
into Paducah and fined thirty dollars. Pike
.was put off the boat at his farm; twenty-five
inilles above. The physician stated that
there was no possible chance ter his re
