The only im|ortant feature of the conference tonlay was the Kinnan case. It was called lip by the Bishop promptly.— Presiding Klder Mahin ojtenen in a speech declaring his right to accept Kinnan's parchments. Kinnan had sought the girl, Carrie Dunning, after his withdrawal at Crawfordsville, and had her under his caro ever since. Thi Rev. O. V. liemon and J. H. V. Miller spoke.— 'flu# llew Dr. Bowman made a powerful plea tV»r Kinnan. The policy, of the church is not to allow a jerson to withdraw under damaging charges that Kinnan was excited and nearly cnuy when he ^withdrew. He offered a substitute for Good's resolution, asking a committee to inquire whether any grounds for the charges against Kin nan exist. Elder

BOSTON,

April 16:—Reports ^confirm the

A gentleman connected with the Vermont Central Railrosil says, that for several days there has_ been an untisual number of strangers carried over tlie road in direction of the border towns, and jt hey are now scattered 111 small "squads aroiind Burlington and St. Albans. The parties are all Irish, and they have been very reticent in conversation with strangers. lie also conlirnis the sforv of some Weeks sfnc^. of tlie arrival of boxes of small arms addressed to wcll-knwfti Fenian sympathizer in different sections of Vermont, but what disposition was made of them is unknown. There is no doubt but the Fenians mean to give the Canadians considerable trouble, even if thev do not make an actual attack to guard against any surprise of danger. The Dominion Government has concentrated a large body of troop at

Montreal, and in afew days there will be a strong guard along the wholefrontier, The Fenians in Boston and vicinity are quiet, and disclaim all knowledge of any •projected attack npon Canada. They admit, however, that there is reason for-the Canadians to be on the alert at all times.

What has become of this money the committee could not precisely ascertain, tAif, they found in the safe and obtained from Mr. Susisky a memoranda of indebtedness consisting of checks, promissory notes and receipts signed fey A. E. Kroeger, who it is alleged, has been connected in heavy stock and gold operations With Susisky amounting to $108,200 also,' be-1 tween forty and fifty notes, receipts, due' bills and checks ranging from $10 lo $4,000, bi.t mostly under $100. What, if anything, can be realized on these i» nbt known.

In giving some of the chrts^ 'df defalcation the committee express tHe? opin?on that Kroeger obtained large stims of money from Susisky, knowing them t6 belong to the eitv that their speculations' amounted to half a million, and that bill for Kroeger Snsisky's deficit worrld have been amply covered by lil's bond.
