The Church of 1872 was very different from tue Church of 1766 or 1809, and the changes that have been effected in the government and polity of Methodism have kept pace with the will and judgmeat of the | people.

One German Accuses Another of Swindling Him Out of $100—Some Strange Facts for the Court of General Sessions, A peculiar case of alleged swindling by means of the ‘confidence game” was brought to lignt at the Yorkville Police Court yesterday afternoon, The complatoant is a German named Phillp Brown, who owns @ lager beer saloon in West Filtieth street, where he also carries on the weiss beer brewing businesi. He has been fiiteen years in this country, is # man of ordinary intelii- gence, and it is rather surprising how he could have been fora moment even so stupid and confiding as to allow himself to be victimized in the manner in whicn he describes, as follows:—About the middie of January last (he is not certain as to date) the prisoner, Phillp Miller, who had, some three or four times previously, been into his place, called upon him, and they had a talk about the best Pian for the transmitting of money to Germany. Miller latormed Brown that he was a golusmisn, and that ti he (Brown) wanted to send money home the mos, advantageous way would be to purchase the gold Wall street and then get adraftfor the amount he wished to have transmitted, By this operation, Muller @x- plained, the commissiog, the bank Where the dratt Was obtained woulda otherwise be entitled to, could be saved to Brown, The latter thougat the plan a good one, and after consuiting the wishes of bis Wile in reference to the matter {t wus decided to act on Milier’s advice, Mrs. Brown then proceeded at once to the Bowery Bank and drew $100 in fives tens und twenties, returned home and handed the money to Mr. Brown. It will be seen iromt Unis that ti was Mrs. Brown's money and not Mr. Brown's that Was to ve sent home to the old folks. Brown aud Miller then started for Wall street. Wien they got to the nead of that important thors ougn(are Miller received the $100 and entered an adjuceat banking house, Brown waited paiently, so he says, on tue outside, but at tue end of fiiteen Tutuuces Muller not showing timself, he weot in search Of him, without success, of course. The i yoason why Miller had gone into the bauk was to get the money exchanged for ro he being acquainied there, and would Consequently get it cheaper, and the understanding Was that Lrowa siould wall outside. Miller, who Is | an old, Whire-natred man of seventy-two years, and juoks @aything but what he is charged as being, denied (me avousation in the most positive manner. He can speak but very few words of Bnglsh, and is a wuectwright by trate. There were those present who velleved os denial, and asserted that there was something Wroug at the bottom of tne case, Tie was committed for trial, ta detauit of $1,000 bail, at the General Sessioas. The Gourd of Apportionment yesterday afternoon authorized the Comptroiier to issue, as may be re, quired, and at such races of interest as he may de- termine, not exceeding seven per cent, additional Croton Water stock to meet the requisition of the Department of Pablic Works, dated April 8, 1872, Lor $100,000.
