A letter was gotten np by the officers and
dispatched to Ilarrisburg. The Superin
tendent received the letter, and after some
study discovered which part of the letter j
was tho top, bnt could not get any further. .
Tbe thought suddenly flashed npon him
that it was a specimen of Greek or He
brew, written by some one in search of
employment as a teacher of tbs languages ;
be forthwith consulted a Greek scholar,
who pronounced it anything but Greek,
and declared bis opinion that it was inten
ded for English. A consultation was then
held by the officers and clerks, and by the
aid of tbe post mark on the envelope it
was ascertained to be an application of
some kind from Lycoming county. The
letter was then sent to the County Super
indent of Lycoming, who, after some study,
guessed at the contents, and wrote to tbe
State Superintendent what it was. Show

Ciscivsati, Nov. 14, 1357.
A epejial Convention of the delegates
from the variuos Annual Conferences of
t'li? "eth.v'is'. Pro'eitmt Cbnrob of the
X rc'u au 1 Vct, ha been in session
hero fir several Havs. So iiop'.rtant aa-
, ,ioD was takl.n unt1 ye4teHay, wl.tn the
, snowing report was ad .pud :
j Whereat, we have received MtUfaororj
information that entire freedom of discus
Bion on tho subject of Slavery, can not be
enjoyed in Lynchburg; and whereas, we
do not feci under obligations to meet our
Southern brethren upon any other grouud
than terms of equality ; therefore,
liwjlcrrt, Tbat it is inexpedient and
unnecessary for tho representatives of tbe
North aud West to atteLd tho General
Conference at Lynchburg, with a view to
secure redress of the grievances which we
suffer.
At the afternoon ?C9.;bn t memorial to
tho General Conference was drawn up,
which says: "It is our earnest desire to
perpetuate the union with tbe Geueral As
sociation, but wa must ia Christian fair
ness state that insuperable impediments
prevent the continuance of the Union ;
that tho t radio in slaves, and the volunta
ry bolding of slaves, conflict with the
rights of humanity, and we regard it as
our bounden duty as ministers aud mem
bers of the Church to oppose tbe above
practice; also, that tbe word "white
be struck from the Constitution.
Thc memorial was adopted. The Con
stitution will probably adjourn to-day.

Tho action of thu large Synod chows
that tho wily politicians who hoped to at
tach the Old School church t j the "let-it-alone"
polity on the Slavery issue, are to
be frustrated. Tbe Synod re affirm the

doctrines of the united church in 1813,
declaring that Slavery is in itself al
ways wrong, and also that it is the duty
of Presbyterians not ox'y to PRAY but to
LABOR for the removal or abolition of all
forms of Slavery. Tbey also refuse even
to receive the proposals for union with tbe
N. S. Presbyterians who left their church
because it denounced Slavery thus, in
effect, strengthening tbe action of lhe New
School on the subject of Slavery. The

There rcre Chirles Wesley's hymns, and
there were thc gcod old Jlethodiit tunes
I tbat ancier.t piety loved, and modern con
I ceit l.tu'hs at. Imagine my chagrin,
when, sfter roaJing the hymn, up rose the
choir from tbe shelf at the other end of
tbe cbur.h, and began to sing.
The pa-
tient congregation stood up meekly to be
Eung to, as men stand under rain when
there is no shelter. Scarcely a lip moved.
No one f'.'ta,:l to b.ar the bymn, or to
enre fjr lie mrisic. How I longed for
