The Vermont Methodist Conference,
Tba thirty-ninth annual session of the
Vermont conference of the M. E. church,
Bishop Harris presiding, was opened lit
bl. Albans last Wednesday, April 25tb
and olosed Monday, April 30th, after an
interesting but at times somewhat stormy
session.
The cause of the trouble seems to be
that the general conference of the M. E
church of the United States, at its last
session in 1880, changed the boundary of
the Vermont conference so as to include
tho whole of the state, with the exception
of the Poultney charge. This change took
from the Troy, N. Y., conference tho Bur.
lington district, which Is made up from
charges in Chittenden, Addison and Rut
land counties, and was made in accordance
with the laws governing the Methodist
church.
Nearly all tho prcachors on the Burling
ton district immediately rebelled at the
change, and meeting) were called at which
speeches weremade and resolutions passed
which bad anything but in ideally broth
erly sound, until at the first sossion of the
Vermont conference at Bradford, In 1881,
the Burlington district preachers who had
previously endeavored to pay tribute at
the Troy coaferonco and learned that it
could not be accepted, sent a committee
with a request that the Vermont proaoliers
did not sea lit to grant, whereupon they
shook off the dust" of the Vermont con
ference in tho shortest possible time in
other words they "got up and dusted."
Things went along in as smooth a man
ner as could be expected after this. No
one was hung or even tried for treason;
ilits Burlington district folks were left in
lull possession of tho church interests;
were not unnoyed by any documents

to set the boundaries back where thev
were, affecting to believe that as they
were able to keep the fires of discontent
uurningon Burlington district the flames
could not be subdued. The commission
was granted, minus the instructions
At times during the discussion of th

company holds the bonds of the city lo
the amount of $1,000,000 and has given
notice that unless its claim is liquidated
by May lath, the claim will bo enforced
by legal means. The total valuation of
tho city is less than 915,000,000, and the

A Terrible Mistake A shocking
railegy oecured on Iho B'eaner Bristol,
Monday morning, whereby A. Parley
Fickett of Boston wis shot ami insianu'y
killed by his partner in business, Albert
21. Beal. Jr. The parties carry on ilio tea
and coffee business at 18 Ilioad street,
Boston The version of tho nfftlr as given
by Mr Beal is, that when ho nnd his part
ner were about no retire, Mr. Fiekett
wished the window lowered a trifle to let
in fresh air. Mr. Bmtl felt rather timid
and feared they might bo robbed, but Ihey
retired wiih the window down and blinds
closed. During tho night ho awoko nnd
saw a light streaming through the blinds
and the figure of a man Ho spoke and
said "Perley, Perley," and the latter mado
some reply. Mr. ileal tlioucht tho voice
sounded as though his partner was in bed,
anu leany illuming tnat some one had
broken in drew a revolver and shot. He
immediately arose, lighted the gas, and to
ids horror asci-r ained that he had shot his
partner through the temple. He raised nn

It is evident Mr. ickett was standing m

James Jackson Jarves in a recent letter
from Florenco, Italy, lo the New York
Trtftune says : "All the world is familiar
with the fame of the late Mr. Marsh, Uni
ted States minister at Rome for so many
years, as a man of science and diplomat
But few persons know how much ho did
as a man and Christian to raise the stand
ard of the American namo abroad, in a
quiet benevolence that did not let his riohi
hand knew what his left was doing, and of
wmeu me worm even now knows nothing.
While he was accredited to the court at
Turin he renewed the beds and linen ot a
Catboic lbospital near his country resi
ilence, and won such an enviable fame
among his poor neighbors for his large
hearted charity lhat the hospital now is
called "Ospedale Marsh," and tho street
where he lived, as well as tho oastello he
inhabited, are called by his n: me. My
informant, a Piedmontese and a neighbor
who was accustomed to dine with him
every Sunday, tells mo almost with tears in
his eyes how he was beloved by every one,
adding in his enihusiasm :' He is worship
ped now even like a god." i his is a more
grateful record of an offical countryman
abroad 10 an American ear than that of
"high jinks', generally and intern nemmo
which so oftuu aro the only souvenirs of
too many Americans who have held dis
liuguished positions in foreign lands."
