The total assessments to. confer enee were for bishop's fund $1,531, of which 31,257.99 has been paid; superannuated, $3,714.07 paid; educational, $2.150, 183.56 paid. These footings show a decrease from last year of $198 in the bishop's fund, *565.56 In the superannuated, and $252 in the educational fund. The deficiency in the funds for the bishop and the superannuated preachers will probably be made ap, by the subscriptions made on Saturday. Mr. Ma- gruder stated that he was proud that for several years the bishops and superannua- ted colléctions have been fully up, and that the deficiency was owing to the stringent times; it had been ahard year financially, and many of the preachers had not been fully paid. He, however, believed if the collections were attended to promptly; «f the subject was kept before the people,the neces- sary amounts could be raised. He made a feeling appeal to the conference in behalf of the superannuated ministers, and he believed that if the people were just in the treatment of their preachers the people would pros} and the Lord would bless them abundantly. THE COMMITTEE ON MEMOIRS submitted their — embracing obituary sketches of Revs. W.S. Baird, whodied on the th of August last; Lorenzo D. Nixon, diet. Janvary 28th, last. Richard 8. Shreve, died Jane 25th last; and Rev. Jas. M. Haynes, ied October, Isv4, on Port Republic eireult: ch were read and adopted. Revs. 8. Kep- Samuel Rodgers and James S. Gardner made appropriate remarks as to Mr. Baird; elson Head and R. R.S. Hough as to xon,. (who, it was stated, was stricken just as he was about to marry a couple, died ina few days thereafter;) Revs. J. . Gilbert, James 8. Gardner, John Land- street and H. ©. Pitzer as to Mr. Shreve, who, with his wife, was killed by lightning on the 25th of June, just as they were about to engage in family prayer;) Revs. S. Keener Cox. J.S. Martin, br. Kenealy, and Rey. J. M. Grandin as to Mr. Haynes. tev. Mr. Carsen, at the suggestion of the bishop, gave some particulars of the death of the Rev. Dr. W. 8. Baird, which took place at the residence of Rev. Mr. Hedrick, near | Winchester, at which he, with the Rev. Mr. Kern, and Mr. Hedrick, were present. M: Carson said that among his words, when in- formed by the physician that he could not live, were the following: “I would like to live to stand Spin the pulpit, and I feel that I could preach better then than I have ever | done belore.” A few days afterwards (a short time before his death) he spoke of the faith- fulness of his wife, and said he felt that he Was asinner saved by grace, and although he felt a desire to continue with his wife and family, that he could give them into the hands of God, feeling assured that he was saved by grace. The verses of the hymn, “ Servant of God, well done,” commencing “Atimidnight came the ery,” “To meet thy God prepare,” and “The Sof death are past,” were sung, and Re G. Brooke followed in prayer. It_was announced that Rev. Dy, Hazgool, of Richmond, would preach in Mount Ver- non church to-night. Rev. W. W. Walker, late of the Virginia conference, and readmitted to this confer- ence, was introduced The Colered Schools. The report of the sub-board of colored sehools of the Board of Public School Trus- tees will be presented to the hoard at its meeting to-night. It transmits the report of the superintendent of the colored schools which shows the colored school population from six to seventeen years of age to be ; number of school-houses, 9; numbes of rooms, #4; number of seats, 4,282. Total value of school property, including sites, 252,210; number of sehoois: High, 1; grammar, 16; ' primary,57; number of teachers, 87; number of pupils enrolled, 5,280; average attendance, 710; total cases of tardiness, 3,202. le calls attention to the fact that in certain districts the accommodations for pupils are not ample, and asserts that, in bis opinion, :vlly two-thirds of the colored school population would accept the benefit of free education if sufficient provi- sion were made. He says that no subject deserves greater consideration than that of | accommodation, and he urges the necessity | | of more school buildings. The difficulty of | Keeping up the attendance after the annual | examination is noted. The improvement in | attendance is noticed, the percentage of at- tendance for the school year ending iu | Was 90.2; in 72, 96.6; in 73, 4.6; and in ‘74, 95. | In four years there has been a gain of five | | percent. The cases of tardiness for the same | Years stood, respectively, as follows: 23,934, | | 15,080, 5,976, and 3.292. In each year it is seen that there was a very decided reduction. In | } | the year ending in is the cases were more than seven times those in 1874. The improvement of the discipline of the | Schools is noticed. The number of cases of | suspension Was 253, or 34 cases less than those | were of the same pupils. The number dis- | Missed was one less than that of 1872. The bumber of pupiis actually expelled from | | these schools is not large. Under the head | “dismissed” is embraced those pupils who fail to seek restoration to school after sus- pension, within five days, as the rule di- | | fects; and hence the number so classed is to | be attributed largely to tue neglect or indif- | | ference of parents. The cases of corporal | punishment were 36 less than those of the | previous year. Severity of punishment was exceedingly rare; and in the very few in- | stances in which it was shown or charged, a thorough investigation was immediately made. which, when conviction resulted, was | followed by such action as prevented reear- | rence. In conclusion, the superintendent | calls attention to the necessity for the em- ployment of special teachers of penmanship vocal music; and that in such districts | #8 lnek the proper school accommodations, | one or more Of the schools be allowed to enrol 140 pupils. who shall be formed into two di- | visions of €0 each; that the first division shall have @ session in the forenoon and the second in the afternoon; neither session to last more than three hours. —_e—___ | ARREST OF ALLEGED THIEVES AND ReE- | COVERY OF SToL PROPERTY.— Yesterday | ‘ternoon Policeman J. V. Grant, of the sec- | ond precinet, arrested a colored boy named Edward Quinan, on suspicion of being a | sneak thief, and on taking him to the station | house he made certain admissions showing that he knew about some recent robberies. | and on the information he gave Lieutenant Noonan dispatched mt Perry, with Officers Grant and Sullivan, to examine the premises of Ann Penn. in Sampson street where they found a lady’s sacque and shaw}, stolen a few days ago from the house of Mrs. John Burgee, on P street, between 16th and ivth streets. They also examined the premi- ses of Wm. Broadus, on the same street, | where they found a large number of coats, a sewing machine, hats, umbrelias and other articles. Broadus was arrested together wiih two other colored men named George Jones and George T. Chase on suspicion and locked up. This morning they were before Judge Suell, who committed them for a hearing. ——— DEFALCATION AT THE B. AND O.

A BANKING HoOvSE SET ON FIRE AND ITS OccuUPANT ROBBED AND BUTCHERED.— About 6 o'clock Saturday evening the bank- ing house of Hayes & Wells, at Johnstown, N. Y., was found to be oa fire.

There are no traces of the perpetrator of the deed. All the indi- cations point toa fiendish murder. A post- mortem revealed a severe contusion on the back of the head. A bullet was found just above the right ear, and one had penetrate 1 the brain at the top ofthe head. e impres- sion prevails that the perpetrators of the deel were acquainted with Mr. Yost’s habits. He had with him $500 in money. His watch was valued at $200, and his diamond pin at #200. The pocketbook was found with the money gone. A Boy STAMPED TO DEATH BY _A BULL. Willie Wright, a step-son of E. Ryalls, of this county, met with asad death last Fri- day morning. He went out with Mr. Ryalis to feed some cattle. Mr. R. went to a neigh- bor’s house and left Willie with the cattie. He returned in a short time and found the little fellow in the field in whicha vicious Fie Bom E was confined, on the rt, bly bruised, and his cl his body. He was taken hoe, ana a prscien sent for, but he only survived his in, hours.

After mature deliberation it was agreed that no reduction should be made in prices so long as the miners continue on a strike. Following this agreement the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Tron company, an the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western ‘Railroal com- pany issued their respective prices of coal for the current month on condition that the men now on a strike in the Sehnykill, Wyoming and Lehigh regions resume work during the month. The Coal and Iron com- pany has issued its circular in recard to the prices of coal forthe month. These do not vary materially from the prices of March, isi4. The Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western company announces its prices for Seranton coal and Elizabethport as follows. Lump, $4.40; steamboat, $4.50; grate, $4.60; egg, | $1.73; stove, $530, and chestnut, $4.35. Buyers not having coutracts will be charged by the com y fifteen cents per ton more than above prices. From the printed rates of this company the prices are apparentiy lower than those given for March last; this difference in favor of the buyer, however, is conditional upon the re- sumption of work by the miners now on a strike in the Schuylkill, Wyoming and Le- high regions, ot which there is no probability at present. Under present cireamstances dealers will be compelled to pay at least fifteen cenis per ton more than the published prices, which will bring the rates for some Sorts up to the schedule of last year, while others will show an aivance. The and Hudson Canal company, sylvania Coal company, have also issued eir circular prices, which are similar to those already named, the whoie movement, thus far, showing concerted action in the conduct of the coal trade im 1875. identical with that of 1874. and wages will be fixed monthly, and they will generally advance with the season, thus encourazing early purchases of coal. and thus lengthening the season of produc‘ion and transportation.

Ledger, The the RELIGIOUS INSANITY.—The Scranton Re- publican says: A few days ago Mrs. Tiffany, wife of A. Tiffany,a highly respected farmer of South Harford, Penn., evinced symptoms of mental aberration —s it is thouz}st, from a religionsexcitement. During the | ite revival at South Gibson she was deeply en- gaged in the meetings, attending almost | every night, and constantly urging others forward. Every day she was occupied stud y- ing the Bible, and seemed wrapt ina religious ees! . On the 19th of last month her mind gradually weakened beneath thogreni strain | rought to bear on it, and that uight she claimed to have died twonaturel deaths, and to be no longer composed of ordinary flesh, but rather possessed of a spiritual existence. In this state she contended that she was seat from a higher power to warn the le 0: impending judgment, and that her mission would properly commence on the first sound sound of the ‘trumpet.’ She told this toa number of friends in her room who called to | see her, and just at that moment the shrill! whistle of a ‘passing locomotive was heart. She regarded it as the trumpet of which she had been speaking and forthwith sprang from her bed and ran down the street, despite the deep snow and the earnest entreaties of her friends, who endeavored to dissua:le her of her strange hallucination. She was finally overtaken and carried home to her room, where she was seized with the most painfol paroxysms, in the course of which she lacerated ind wounded herself severely. She is continually singing religious hymns o raving. Her physician, Dr. Pennepaciscr, has hopes ofher ultimate recovery.” DREAMS.—The Solow sng story is told by the Franklin ( Mass.) Register: ‘Two nights be. fore the late disaster of the railway train at Norwood, the engineer of that train dreamed that his train ran off the track at or near that place, and that he escaped injary, but his fireman was badly injured! nother engi- neer, on the day of the accident, warned him to run carefully, as he had dreamed the night before the accident that his train ran off the track at Norwood, but that he, the engineer of the wrecked train, was not injured. but the fireman was hurt.” Here are two dreams, both pointing to the same result, which re- sult was accomplished, and with singular truth to the details of the dreams.” —— THE PROJECTED TUNNEL under the Hud- son river, between Jersey City and New York. may possibly be constructed after all.
