The Methodist Episcopal Church. Jacksonville Ct., Texas Con.—Thomas Wilson. Presiding elder Molloy made his quarterly round, held a nine days’ meeting which was attended with good results. The Church was quickened, nine hopefully con verted. Ten united with our Church, making our present membership thirty-eight. We are still waiting upon the Lord for fresh displays of saving power. The Southern Methodists in these parts are friendly toward us, frequently attending our meetings. Yazoo Dist., Mississippi Con— J.W. Dunn. —We are at work on the Yazoo district and the Lord is blessing us both spiritually and finan cially. In Yazoo City we have had over one hundred accessions and a goodly number at other points. We have two churches on the way that I hope in a short time to give you a more definite account of, and we have also a parsonage on foot at Greenwood, adding one to the seven reported on our work, and hope that this will not be the only one erected this year for we are needing them badly. Brkckenridge St. , Louisville, Lexington Con.— M. W. Taylor. Quarterly meeting just closed; we had a heavenly time—elder W. S. Muir, presided. Eighty-six communed; many were forward to be prayed for; several united with us. The Lord was in the midst, and with a full measure of the Spirit we felt fully able to possess the land. We protraeted the meeting at Jeffersonville, Ind., with good success. Recently the brethren and sisters went to the parsonage in my absence and placed therein a handsome bedstead and mat tress, half a dozen chairs, wash-stand, center table, cooking stove and utensils, besides plas tering, whitewashing, papering and setting things in order generally. Above this they gave a benevolent contribution of lifteen dol lars on Sabbath. We have a flourishing Sun day-school, and all on the advance. Tazewell Circuit, Houston Con.—Emma Rama —The second quarterly meeting for this work was held at Rock Castle. Brother Elbert Clark was present and made a good report He has received seventy on probation, forty in full connection, baptized fourteen adults and seven infants this last quarter; he is at his post all the time, and in tine spirits, doing a good work,and we hope to give a good report of our selves at the end of this Conference year, both spiritually and financially. Brother Patty our beloved presiding elder was at the meeting and preached with his usual power. After the sermon the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was ad ministered ; many communed and felt that the Lord was present. I hope the good people on Tazewell circuit will not forget brother Clark and his family; he is working hard, and must be supported by those with whom he is laboring. West Tenn. Dist., Tenn. Con.—H. W.Key. —We are growingevery way—spiritually, tem porally and financially, in influence and in mem bership. We have built two new churches since Conference, and bought one, and bought a lot to build another one. The most hopeful feature for success is the interest that our mem bers take in the children and in education gen erally. We are keeping our old schools that we organized a year ago going and have es tablished new schools. We have had during this year eleven day schools and six hundred scholars; an increase over last year of four hundred and fifty. I wrote some time since that I brought three young ladies down here with me when I took charge of this district; they have made a mark for good both for our people and for our church. They have a great influence for good among both white and col ored ; and our enemies as well as our friends are beginning to say that the Methodist Episco pal Church has a mission here in the South to fulfill, and helping to educate the colored peo ple is a part of her mission. I am very sorry that these young ladies are so poorly supported. They have taught months since they have been in this district, and got barely enough to pay their board. They are good and faithful Sun day-school workers and have all done a good work in our Sunday-schools and for the mission ary cause. lam afraid they will be compelled to abandon their schools on account of being so poorly supported; this would be a great loss to our work. Our third Ministerial Meeting was held at Mason’s, in our new church that we have bought recently. It cost $850; we have made the first payment of $283.85. Dr. Kynett sent me a draft for $100; God bless that good man. We will be able by Conference to report a large Increase in churches and about seventy five per cent, financially over last year. Some person or persons have burned another church of ours on the Malone circuit, in Desota county, Mississippi. ftfititip of jSteiw. The South. The Louisiana Democratic Convention post poned its nominations till after the Cincinnati Convention. General Ransom, from North Carolina, has been admitted to the United States Senate. The sixth State Fair of Louisiana commenced on the 24th ult., and continued six days. Tuesday, the 26th ult., was observed as Confederate Memorial Day. Seventy-three crates of green peas were shipped to New York from Charleston a few days ago. _ General. The new charter of the city of New York turns out every one of the present city officials. At the World’s Jubilee, soon to be held in Boston, three-fourths of the pieces to be per formed by the choirs are strictly sacred music. An English railway engineer and fireman have been sentenced to three months’ hard la bor for being dead drunk at their posts. The Supreme Court of the United States, in a case from Georgia, decided a note given for slaves is valid. The Senate French Arms Committee has fin ished taking testimony, and adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. The New York Legislature has passed the New York City charter very nearly as pre pared by the Committee of Seventy. The Russian Government, after hearing Cat acazy’s defense, lias condemned him and he has left St. Petersburg in disgrace. The iilegality of the trials of the Mormon chiefs, which took place in Utah a few months since, consists in the fact that Judge McKean ruled that Territorial District Courts are United States Courts. A late decision of the Supreme Court reverses this decision. This relieves Brigham Young and about a hundred and forty others convicted of murder and other crimes. SAVANNAH DISTRICT, GA. CON.

COBLEIGH. f» iPkmunj of tint fast. Holden W. Nichols was born in Anson county, North Carolina, August 3, 1807. He came to Tennessee, with his parents, at the age of six years. Professed religion when quite young, at McKendree Camp-Ground, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church the same year. Brother Nichols was a class-leader in the Methodist Episcopal Church for twenty years. He departed this life March 14,1872, in Huston comity, Tenn., aged sixty-four years, seven months, and nine days. I preached his funeral sermon in the Arlington Court-house, Huston county, the 23d of March. Subject: “ These bones are the whole house of Israel.” An immense number were in attendance to hear what might be said in memory of the good and great. Thus a good man has passed away in the triumph of a living faith. Lexington , Tenn. E. N. Williams. Os hemorrhage of tiie lungs, on Friday, April 12, 1872, Rev. H. Frank Miller. Brother Miller was a local preacher, attached to Janes Chapel quarterly Conference at Aus tin, and had resided in this city about fifteen months. Formerly he had charge of a Church or Churches in Colorado, but his health failing sought a more congenial clime. He was em ployed as book-keeper and treasurer of our State Lunatic Asylum, and gave universal sat isfaction to all. To say that brother Miller was a good man would be language too weak to express bis worth. 011 the morning of his death lie rode into the city for the purpose of purchasing a horse for the Asylum. While lie was trying the animal he was taken with bleed ing, dismounted and in seven minutes breathed his last. He “walked with God and was not for God took him.” The Church has lost a most excellent member, and his surviving ab sent friends mourn his departure. Brother Miller was aged twenty-seven years,and though a comparative stranger here, the day following his interment his friends raised $l5O toward a monument for him in token of their affection. G. W. Honey. Sister Ansie Ann Stewart, daughter of Rev. Francis and Drucilla Winn, and wife of brother P. G. Stewart, all of Douglass county, Georgia, was born January 23,1823,and crossed over the river on Sabbath, February 18, 1872. Sister Ann joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in her 15th year, at a cauip-ground eight miles south-west of Powder Springs, (A. Dorman, preacher in charge) and lived for thirty-six years a faithful and consistent mem* ber, not only in name, but in deed and in truth. All who knew her love to tell how good she was. She was afflicted for many years, and for four of her last months on earth was mostly confined to her room, but she bore it all with astonishing faith and fortitude, often shouting the praises of God till strength would fail, ex horting all who came to see her, to meet her in heaven. She told the husband (who feels that she was the instrument under God in bring ing him to Christ, and lived to-see him preach ing the Gospel) to be faithful in pointing sin ners to the Lamb of God, and Drucilla, their only daughter, to join the Church, live a Chris tian, and they would meet again; that she would be permitted to be near them and see them, till they met around the Father’s throne in Heaven. Brother A. Dorman will preach her funeral sermon on the third Sabbath in June, at Wesley Chapel. N. Trimble. SPECIAL NOTICES. A.

The novelty of modern Medical, Chemical and Phar maceutical Science. No use of any longer taking the large, repulsive and nauseous piils, composed of cheap, crude, and bulky ingredients, when we can by a careful application of chemical science, extract all the cathartic and other medicinal properties from tlio most valuable roots aud herbs, and coneentrato them ■ into a minute Granule, scarcely larger tlian a mustard seed, that can be readily swallowed by those of the most sensitive stomachs and lastidious tastes. Eachlittle Purgative Pellet represents, in a most concentrated form, as much eat hai l ic power as is embodied in auyof the largo pills found lor sale in the drug shops. From their wonderful cathartic power, in proportion to their size, people who have not tried them aro apt to suppose that they are harsh or drastic in effect, but such is not at all tlie case, the different active medicinal principles of which they are composed being so harmonized and modified, one by the others, as to produce a most scare h 1 tin and thorough) yet gently and kindly opera* ting cathartic.

In explana tion of the remedial power of my Purgative Pellets over so great a variety of diseases, I wish to say that their action upon the animal econo my is universal, not a gland or tissuo escaping their sanative impress. Age does not impair them; their sugar-coating at and being enclosed in glass bottles presorve their virtues unim paired for any length of time, in any climate, so that they are always fresh and reliable, which is not the case with the pills found in the drugstores, put up in cheap wood or paste-board boxes.

K N should be made of 16 carat gold, as no writing fluid will corrode gold of this fineness; be sufficiently heavy to be strong and possess good elasticity.

Those who wish to enjoy the advantages of GEN UINE GOLD PBDNSS should only pur chase those that possess the above qualities, and be careful in selecting a pen adapted to the hand, as they necessarily vary in point and spring.

JAH.I4.IBGS j u Lreajag^f iaßi< aTvaU This Saw possesses several great advantages over the an cient V tooth, which has hitherto been relied on, especially in cross-cut saws. The strength, Btlffuess, and durability of these teeth, and their capacity for deep gumming, are so ob vious that we will only name four other points of comparison, namely, speed, ease, simplicity, and perfect clearance. All are aware that an ordinary handsaw cuts only one way ; that is, the front cut is more effective than tho hack or Retreating cut. These teeth, with their opposite cutting faces, if CUTTING IN line, are equivalent to the front cut both ways of a handsaw, in distinction to the two back cuts of the old V saw. Hence, speed is inevitable. Ease of Cutting.— lt is easier to plow a groove in timber than to crush one out. The application of this principle is very perfect, all the teeth being of even length, double pointed, cut with outside vertical aud projecting edgos, aud clear sim ultaneously with the same. Simplicity. —This is obvious, all the points being cutters like huudsaw teeth, namoly, the lame length. No hooks or thick, raking teeth to be shortened; only ono mill file is needed to keep them in ordor, aud they are as easy for tiie unskilled laborer to sharpen as the old-fashioned saw. Perfect Clearance. Continuously cutting and clearing, these opposite “cutting faces” not only cut, hut clear, liy lift ing the fiber above the projecting blades, like a plow, which is the most perfect clearing implement. New Tori, American Institute Fair Building, ) November 4,1871. j E. M. Boynton, 78 Beekman-stroet, New York—Sib: 'I bis certifies that I saw the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw, workod by hand, by two men, November 2d, at this Fair. Said men and saw cut off a souud Bx 9 inch chestnut log in 3% seconds; aud 16 cuts of the same, continuously, in 2 minutes and 18 seconds, or at a rate of a cord of wood in less than 9 minutes. lam satisfied that for all purposes of cross-cutting large and small timber, your cross-cuts aud wood saws have no rival in speed, in ease, aud in simplicity. I believe their universal use would save a vast amount of money and time, and lighten the toil of millions of men. J. W. BLAKE, Superintendent and Engin er American Institute Fair. N. B. These extreme tests are quoted merely to prove what should be obvious—that direct cutting is better than the old V friction process used by all other saws. The cutting of all saws depends much on the proper set, sharpening, and skill of tlie operator. I can not furnish brains, and skill is at tained only by practice. But no saw manufacturer dares to question the superiority of my latest improved saws, or to publicly test the mattor. Siuce the enlargement of dust space one year ago, no com plaint of clogging has been received. The latest improved Lightning Saws will give universal satisfaction, on large or small timber, soft or hard wood; but soft wood requires wider set. Saws are set and sharpened for hard wood. Try them as sent out, but may be made thinner for soft wood. Ilold level in using, and do not rock; Bhove slightly. Do not cou found this 1869 pattern with my old 1867 pattern Clearing- Tooth Saws, now out of market. All clearing-teeth are complicated, as they reqniro to be kept shorter than cutters and frequent re-adjustment. After much experience, I can not recommend them. Each one ot the new Lightning Cross-Cuts has ray $560 challenge, and full directions for set ting and sharpening any saw, engraved on it. Honest haid ware men will procure the genuine for their customers, even if they are overstocked with inferior goods; but where they do not keep them, Agents are wanted.

Millions of Axes are used for cutting wood; a Light ning Cross-Cut Saw, either for one man or for two, will ent five times as fast as au ax. Why not try them ?
