The re-assembling of the Western Union Baptist Association in this ' city, recalls to the minds of many, the sadness and gloom attending itä sitting here seven years ago, caused by the startling and painful intelligence of the death of one of its mot prominent and beloved member? Kev. John II. Bowles. Although he had been indisposed lor some weeks previous to his death, yet his sickness was not considered fatal and the news of his sudden de- "" cease was as startling as a clap of thunder in ä clear sky. Among tne ministerial arrivals

up to this writing, (Thursday A. M.), we j recognize the familiar faces of the venera- , ble and intelligent S. D. Fox, ot Yellow . Springs, the suave Fossett, of Cincinnati, the ready-witted Meek, of Kipley, Bailey, of . Jamestown, whose large and commanding - figure is only typ'cal of the tig heart and genial disposition he possesses, Steele of Xei nia, affable, companionable and true as steel, "" P i- Hunt, of Piqua, our life-long acquainth' anee, and of whose erect and graceful figure "W t is not a ein to be covetous, I Jind chief among them all is the aged and beloved, and only survivirg founder of the association, Kev. "Wallace Shelton, who his lived his more than four-score years, but possesses all the vim, zeal and activity of mind and body as though he were but '-- fifty. Among the rest are Kev. Samuel J. mitb,Cincinnati:J.Chambers,Flatrock;D.B Houston, Sandusky: -W. II. Iloberts, Columbus; W. II. Stewart, Troy, Among the lay t delegates we note the following: Waverly . Byrd and J. Toney, Xenia: Jas. Wilson and 31 rs. Corbin, Springfield; N. Jones, San- - dusky; (larnes, Kenton. Bro. Toney, en passent, is accompanied by his bride, having Ik en married Wednesday morning at seven o'clock, "and embraces the opportunity for a bridal tour. At 0 a. m. Wednesdäy the Ministerial lustitute convened, - -llev. S. D. Vox, President, and Rev. W. U. Steel, Clerk. By a resolution, passed unanimously, the first hour of the session was devoted to earnest prayers by the ' , ministers present for the recovery of President Garfield, and the consequent comfort of his family, a becoming act of Christian j. 'sympathy and patriotism! The re- . mainder of the morning hour was occupied in discussing the following topics: ' First, "When is a Church properly organP ized?" Introduced by Kev. W. II. Stewart. f Second, "How long should a pastor stay in a place?" Rev. P. F. Fossett. The discus4 sions were able and instructive, as the subjects had been carefully considered by the ( .V eakers. The first business of the afterxm was the election of olScers, resulting in I the re-election of Kev. S. D. Fox as President, Rev. J. M. Meek Vice President, and fV Kev. W. II. Steele Clerk. Rev. J. M. Meek, with characteristic ability, introduced the j . topic, ''What relation does one Church susm , tain to another of the same faith and order?' Ihe second topic of the afternoon ' How to 1 reach the masses'' wa3 not assigned to any particular person, but was energetically dis i 1 . cussed by several ministers. In the evening at half past 7 there was preaching by Rev. Samuel J. Smith and Rev. V. II. Steele, and the examination of a candidate for ordina - tion. Thus was the first day of the Associa1 Mfcon most pleasantly and profitably employed Revs. Rockhold and W. II. Alien are doing nobly in receiving and locating ministers and delegates Thursday morning's trains landed numerous ' visitors and delegates. Among the premii iont ones we mention Rev. R. Meredith, - Portsmouth, who has hosts of friends in ' ' Urbana; 'Jarius," Secretary of the Association, who is domiciled with his associate juill-driver, the '-old curmudgeon,'' Sei wob. . The morn'ng session wa opened with ap- - vpriatö devotional exercUes, with the . Lt. ß. Moss, of this city, Moderator, and Chas. D. Swayne, Springfield, Clerk. The first business was the reading of letters " I from the various churches and enrolling

A oouritiful rain has fallen and I the indications for a cool, dustlesa Sabbath J - Tre very flattering, which will add much to the interest of the occasion On Monday evening last the young gentlemen of the P. L. C. feasted their fair companions on watermelons and other delicious . Jruitaof the season. Everybody present

He settled to date for the Leader, and enters his wife's name (Sarah Mayse), on the list, a3 a sub scriber f r one year. Sorry to lose you Brother Mayse. but may our loss be your gain Mrs. Str ul, ol Troy, spent evcral days in thecity visiting relatives and friends. Rev. H M.

Cs contracts" (nith the fair lady.j.. Thursday, at 11 o'clock a. ni., the Rev. P. F. Fossett delivered the annual sermon to a large and attentive audience text, firt Timothy G:12. In the afternoon- the time was occupied in naming the letters and reports from the several churches which constituted a very interesting f ature of the day's proceedings. After the reading of the letter from Zion church, Cincinnati, the pa-tor, Rev. W. R Bone. made aaia'.ement of t e tinaraial condition of the church announcing that the white BiptUts ol the eity had offered to raise $3,000 toward paying off the d-'bt of the church, provided, the church rebut it wiih $2000. lie made an eloquent (and we trust effective) appeal to tbe association for help. Rev's. L. B. Moss, J. M. Meek and S. I). Fox endorsed heartily, the appeal and all seemed to comprehend the disgrace which would attach to tile Baptists of the State from the loss of such a valuable temple. The entire indebtedness is about $s,000. The letter from Lima reported tte serious illness of Rev. I) B'ish, with a request for prayer in his behalf, which was immediately engaged in, led by Kev. S. L. Fox Mt. Calvary church, Cincinnati, reported the death of a brother at the advanced age of 1UU years and the Cumminsville church, that of a sister 121 years of age. She was brn in Africa. Elder W. Shelton urged pastors to communicate such intelligence to the press that all may see that Christians live, nowadays, as long as Moses did. Next, after reading correspondence, occurred the election of officers resulting in the re-election of the present incumbents, to wit: Moderator, Kev. L. B. Moss, Crbana; Clerk, Chas. D. Swayne, Springfield; Treasurer, N. Jones, Sandusky; then the appointment of committees on business, devotion, finance, digest, education, temperance, state of country, obituary and resolutions. At night Rev. R. Meredith preached in City Hall. While at the church candidates for ordination to Elder's orders were exirnined. Kev. Jas. K. Brown, of Middletown, and Kev. D. B. Hueston, of Sandusky, were success ful. Bros. C J. Evans, of Kenton, and W. Grime.'', of Middle Creek, were referred back to their studies for one year. The Friday morning session was devoted to receiving and adopting (attended with considerable debate) the reports of the various con. .nittees. We note the report on education: REPORT OX EDCCATICN. The age in which we live is one of civili zation and progress an age which, for educational advantages, is far m advance o any that has preceded it. Hence people of every class, Barbarian, Scythian, bond or free, all are required in these days of enlightenment, to receive at bast a 'common school'' education. This beinir a requirement of men generally, we are per suaded that much more in this age is ex pected ol a minister of the Ljrd Jesus. He is a leader ot the poople, a guide, and as such, he should be their superior. He should make full proof of his ministry. He should study to show himself "approved unto (Jod, a workman that-neeieth not to be ashamed. rightly dividing the word of truth." We are glad to see that this command of Paul to Timothy is being obeyed by the clergy. Io-day we have men in the pulpit who are indeed a power in the Christian Church, but they are lew. We need more, and thank God we are receiving them every year from the institutions and seminaiies of nearly every State in the Union. It is a fact universally admitted that "knowledge is power," and it is our sincere belief that knowledge is one of the great levers that must be used to elevate our race. No pec pie on this earth have been enslav ed mentally as well as physically, like the colored race of America, and no people deserve more to reap the benefit of the various schools of learning which now adorn our land V e, your committee, would therefore urge upon this Ass ociation and the Churches therein represented, the importance and neon of supporting Denison University, and ail similar institutions that are now doing so much toward diffusing light and truth among the colored race of America. S. D. Fox, W. R. Boone, J. M. Meek, J. W. Johnson, R. Meriditb, J. O. Bonner. The committee on resolutions among others reported the following resolution: That Baptists strictly patronize Baptist publications, institutions and literature gen erally, also one endorsing the work of the American Baptist Publication Society. ( lhe sum of ten dollars was subsequently voted to this society.) A resolution ieclaring the time at hand when religious bodies should be self-supporting, by individual churches defraying expenses of dt legates to and from places of meeting and while there, was tabled. The resolution denouncing Baptist camp-meetings whj subjected to considerable remark. After a spirited dUcusäion of the matter, the resolution presented by the committee was tabled and the following pub;ti tute offered by Rev. P. F. Fossett was adopted: Camp-meeting resolution by P. F. Fossett: ,4In view of the fact that this lAesoeiation has three times expressed the opinion that camp-meetings, as now carried on by Baptists, are not only an innovation upon the time honored practice of our denomination, but injurious to the causo of Christ, Resolved, That we advise the churches comprising this associat ion to discountenance all ministersthat engage in or carries them en." A resolution of vast importance to the churches was one creating a fund fcr superannuated preachers, and requesting the churches to liberally contribute thereto. As previously announced the Sunday-school Convention met on Saturday at 9 a. m. The annual address was delivered by Kev. 3. D. Fox. It was a masterly effort, full of point and zeal. The afternoon was devoted mainly t) cons'd ration of business, reading letters receiving and adopting reports of Committoes, etection of officers, etc. The officers for the ensuing year are: Pres. Rev. Win. N. Allen, Urbana; Vice Pre. W. F. Trent. Lebanoti; Superintendents, First District, G. W. Havj, Second District, C. D. Swayne, Third District, N. L. I3ray, rourth District, N. James; Recordiag Sec, J. II. Wilson, Springfield; Corresponding Sec., Miss Cora L. Watson, Cincinnati; Treasurer, J. T. Smith, Dayton. The report of Committee on Constitution aad By-

Laws preceded the election of officers and it was adopted. The Committee on program for next year's meeting reported the following program of exercues: 1. Annual Sermon by Rev. J. M. Meek. 2. The relation of the Sunday school to the Church, bv Rev. W. R. Boone. 3. The relation of the pastor to the Sunday school, by S. S. Adams. 4. What is gained or lost from holding union mee.ings with Sunday schools of other denominations? by Rev. P. F. Fossett. 5. Shall we sustain Mission Schools in our churches to the exclusion of our Cnurch Schools? by Rev. S. D. Fox. The evening session was one of deep interest. Prominent am ng others were the papers read by Rev. J. M. Meek an l Mr?,

(, orbin, of Springfield. Prof. J. H. Chavt-r presided at the organ. Next ear the Association will meet in X"iiia in conjunction with the Eastern Division Sunday, instead of repairing to the Fair ( rounds, the services were held in the city aj: follows: Firat Baptist Church 11 a. m., Rev. W. R. Boone; Second Baptist Church 11 a. m . Revs. J. M Sleek and A. Hunt; 3j. m., Revs. S. I) Fox and T. S. Evans; 7 p. m , Revs W. Shelton and D. B. Hueston; St Paul A. M. E.

Hueston at the Second Btptist Church, at 3 p. m., was a very interesting and impressive affair. The Church was rilled to overflowing; hundreds were turned away, unable to gain admittance. The throng at this Church at night was equally lars;e, all eager to participate in, or witness the general farewel hand shaking incident to the closing. And thus ended a most encouraging and profitable session of the Western Union Anti-Slavery Baptist Association. ASSOCIATION XOIKS AM) rKRSo.NAI.si.

The news of a terrible accident at Thornton Station, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at 1 o'clock this afttrnoon, reached this city this evening. The accident was the result of tbe Chicago express running into the Cumberland accommodation. The Chicago cxpiess was delayed some time and wasUnaking up time, and in rounding the curve at Thor, ton Station, about 114 miles from this city, ran into the Cumberland accommodation, en route io this city and due here at 5 p. in. The Chicago express was running at a high rate of speed and struck the Cumberland accommodation with terrific force, telescoping the rear passenger car and crushing the ends of the other cars. The tremendous shock detached the boiler from the engine trucks, the escaping steam adding greatly to the terrible effects of the accident. None of the passengers on the Chicago express sustained any injury, except a slight shaking up. Nearly all on tbe accommodation were injured, some shockingly mangled and scalded by the escaping steam, and others more or less cut and bruised. Eye witnesses describe the scene as heartrending in the extreme the groans of the suffering, mingled with the shouts of the excited passengers who were rushing around and endeavoring to do all in their Jower to alleviate the agony of the sufferers, ust before tbe trains struck, John Benes, baggage master on the Chicago express, jumped from his car and broke his left leg. Those who were on the Cumberland accommodation and who were injured are as follows: Nellie White, aged fifteen, daughter of exAttorney General White, of Wheeling, both legs and left arm broken and body badly scalded; inhaled steam, has since died. David S. Moore, of Nashville, Tenn., badly scalded on head and arms. Mrs. Hannah Coombs, of Morgantown, W Va., severely scalded. Annie Monroe, aged twenty, 'ot Kingwood, W. Va., badly scalded and crushed. Miss Alice Rector, of Clarksburg, W. Va., badly burned. Luther Kellj', of Fairview, W. Va., severely cut and bruised. . Harry Zimmerman, a child aged three years, of Kingwood, W. Va., bad cuts. Rev. Loft us, of Rowney, W. Va., right arm broken in four places and badly bruised. . . Mrs. Fike and two children, wife of Professor F. Fike, of West . Virginia,, seriously scalded. William Barker, of Mineral County, West Virginia, burned slightly. Mrs. Church, of Independence, W. Va., serious scalp wound. Others received slight injuries, but the above list comprises all who were seriously hurt.

OHIO DEPARTMENT. EDITORIAL CLUB -OF CINCINNATI: Chas 1). IIokxkr. Tom V. Johnson. A. J. Uiuos. Hknry Fokte. Hack. The Progress of Civilisation. "My native couotry thee, Laud of tbe noble free, Tby name I love." This beautiful, patriotic air had just floated sweetly on the bretze from tbe lipa of your correspondent while wending hia way to the Cincinnati Southern railroad ticket otfice. Being much fatigued from overexertion in my office work, I concluded that I would take a trip over the blue grass region in old "Kaintuck," the land of fast horses and beautiful women. The citizens of Cincinnati paid twenty million dollars to build a railroad from Cincinnati to Chatanooga. Many persons were opposed to our wealthy city taking so heavy a burden upon its shoulders. The majority, however, decided that our wealth would be increased and our resources greatly developed if we would run the iron horse of civilization in the heart of the sunny South. The money was obtained from the city treasury and the road built. It was thought for a long time that the road was nothing more than a "white elephant'' on the citizens' hand. Last week it was advertised to be leased, and many bids were received, all very fair, and some extraordinary ot es. But I am now getting too far from my eubjtct, for I am now aware that tbe reader will wonder what connection this rail riod has with the opening lines of this aniol. Then "revenous a nos montus," I said that we, the citizen? of Cincinnati, built this re ad. It was build for our comfortand pi -nsure. I arriv d at the ticket office, purchased a first-class ticket to a point called "High Briige," on this Southern railroad. Taking my ticket in my hand, I walked complacently to the car, caught hold of the railing to ascend tho stairs when, looking up, saw a burly brakeman from the Emerald Isle, who politely informed mo that "Be gabbers I would hev to take another car. Colored (meaning "nigger") men are required to take the other car." It is needless for me to say that I walked in in tpito of this representative from Erin. Now, this is the state of affairs here in Cincinnati, "the land of the free and the home of the brave.'' A respectable colored lady or gentleman here in Cincinnati, in Ohio, the home of great men and pas;ron of free schools and civili.;iti n, h refused to sit in a first-class car to take a ride on a road that he has paid his mrney to build. This is certainly a bad state of affairs. The distressed white loafer can ride unmolested, but a colored gentleman, respected and known throughout the city, must be insulted by a toreigner, simply because his parent's eyes first saw light in Africa instead of Europe, and the dye has remained in his skin. Truly here is an example of civil rights. Men tell U9 that the Republican party should have been dissolved when the war ended and the slaves freed, but I say the Kepublican party must wipe this stigma of barbarism from the history of Cincinnati; yea, of Kentucky herself before its work can be brought to an end. Then for its past good we might nurture it forever more. It is to be hoped that at some day not tar distant this stain will be removed from our midst, and blest be the man that will do it. Northüide Note. Last Monday morning school began, and the teachers, Miss Cole and Mr. Horner, report a s'ight increase in enrollment over last year. Miss Greenup, who has been spending several weeks in the city with Miss A. Taylor, paid our ward a brief visit last week. Mr. Fielding and Mr. Goings visit our ward very frequently, presumably to get a snifl of fresh air, the supply of which is very meager in the city proper. Our Sabbath - School was represented in the S. S. Convention, which convened last week at Urbana, by Mr. P. O'Bannon, a young man who takes considerable pride in the Sunday School and who made an excellent representative for the Northside sch ol. He returned in time to occupy Iiis seat Monday morning in old time-honored Gaines. E der Johnson, from Allen Temple, occupied the pulpit in the M. E. Church out here last Sabbath evening, and delivered a very interetting discourse. We are very sorry to lose two of our best familie?, who, it is eaid, are going to move to the city. Mr. Southerlins is still very ill. He was seen on the street yesterday, but looks very bad and is very weak. Last Tuesday was set aside by Governor Foster, to offer prayers to God on

... ' .... " any iiuie previous ai mis season the removal of the President to Long Branch. It is understood that all the chuiehcs were thrown open, and from 10 to 12 wa3 occupied in prayer for the stricken Chief. rollt leal Not. Some may wonder because Mr. Samuel Lewis and William Taylor, Esq., of the 18th "Ward, were not elected delegates, but the explanation is easy. A large number ot Democratic voters were run in on them from other wards, and though they polled the entire Republican vote, yet the Democrats, under the leadership of Cox, defeated them. Although defeated, they were at the convention and their success in doing good work can best be judged by the fact that both Staley and Harlan were nominated. Mr. George Comeley, of the 20th Ward, downed a heavy opposition in that ward,and he and a few others have very appropriately been styled, redoubtable young Royalists. George had his delegation fixed, and when tne time came solid votes were cast for Staley and Harlan. A J. Riggs, of the Editorial Club, was at the Convention as delegate from 18th "Ward, and did much good work for Staley und Harlan. . Jacob Robinson and George Taylor, of ijtn w ara delegation, were there, and with Dick Hatch pulled many votes over to Harlan. It was the 6th Ward delegation which nominated and solidly supported Harlan, and Jack Robinson had the 'delegation elected. Jack can give you several pointers in politics. Jack Robinson, Buff" Garrett, the ' Anderson brothers, Tom Garrett, Moses Jackson, Dick Hatch, Charley Henson and many others, were at the Convention working for Harlan and Harlan got it, too. Don't you forget it, either. Will Sullivan was delegate from 2nd Ward, and ca t his vote wih his delegation for Harlan ai-d Staley. As we said last week, Zumstein made a good fight, but Staley was altogether too muchee-muchee for him. Colonel Robert Harlan, Nominee for the Legislature. The colored people of this county have once more gained a splendid victory in the nomination of Col. Robert Harlan as Representative in the next Ohio Legislature. At the Convention of Republicans, which was held Tuesday and Wednesdry of this week, Col. Harlan received on first ballot a vote of 250, being 35 votes in excess of a majority ot all votes cast. This is, indeed, the greatest number of votes cast for a colored man in any of our county or State Conventions, and C 1. Harlan is the first colored man who ever achieved the nomination on first ballot. Col. Harlan was presented by the delegates from the Sixth Ward, and was seconded by two other delegations, and he was tbe only one thus complimented. By the time the roll of the wards had been called as far as the Tenth Ward Col. Harlan was nearly a hundred votes, when the Twentieth was called, and responded with a solid vote of eighteen votes. He had reached and passed two hundred, and the Twenty third Ward responding with a vote of fifteen, and the Township of Springfield giving fourteen, also, the Colonel stepped out a nominee on the first ballot, and with thirty-five votes to spare. Aside from the great popularity of the Colonel, which won him many friends, Mr. Samuel Lewis deserves mention as the manager of the Colonel's campaign. Under Mr. Lewis' care this campaign was managed very successfully, indeed, and Mr. Lewis stands head and shoulders above ail others as a successful political worker.

An Astonished Boston Man 4 , I Boston Transcrlpt.1 To a Bostonian traveling through this Western country some things Jook very queer. A little incident I saw at Qumcy, 111., I thought worth while to write you about. We arrived at the depot hard on to midnight, and made our way to the foot of the depot to a row of omnibuses and entered one. When full, to : our astonishment a rather prepossessing young lady came to the door and asked for our baggage checks, and later for our coach : fare, after collecting which she alighted and I called to the driver, "All right, Charlie." , Inouiry revealed t us the fact that this girl : bad "just bought out the 'bus line and runs the business " Think of a Boston girl doing this! In Maine thev have a law that no medical student shall be allowed to graduate and practiea medicine who has not had regular practice in the dissecting room. Then they tassed a law that no bodies. sav nniv the bodies of executed criminals, should be cut up in dissecting rooms. Then, as a climax to all this, they abolished catital nunishnient. That's the kind of a country Maine is.

Henry Todd, a large, muscular mulatto, six feet two inches in height, was shot in three different places Monday night by Detective McKinney and Officer Pauley, while fleeing from arrest. The circumstances attending the shooting and subsequent arrest, as related by the officers and vouched for by eye witnesses, are about as follows: Saturday last Detective McKinney telegraphed to Shelby ville, Ky., wanting to know from the authorities if Todd was wanted there, tbe ollicer suspecting that he was wanted for horse stealing and the larceny of quite a sum of money stolen a year ago. Yesterday he received atelegiani from W. E. Maddcx in reply, aying that the self tame individual was wanted at Shelbyville, and badly too. Last evening, in company with Office'r Saulcy, he boarded an Illinois street car and started for the corner of Seventh and Meridian streets, where the wife of tbe supiKised fugitive is employed. Just at the corner of Illinois and Ohio streets who should get on the car but the very man the officers were searching for. They immediately placed him under arrest and left the car, intending to take their man to the Central Station. No sooner had they reached terra firma than Todd, who is a very powerful man, informed them that be would not accompany them. They tried to persuade him, but to no purpose, as lie began to show light, tossing the officers about like rubber balloons anchored to a string. They called on citizens to assist them, but no one seemed inclined to listen to their appeals for aid, and Todd escaped, running north on Illinois street. Both the officers began firing at him, three of the five shots discharged taking effect, one in the left leg, another in the right arm, while a glance shot tore the scalp on the back part of his head. In adddition to this he was badiy cut and bruised on the head from the free use of the butt end of a revolver in the hands of McKinney. Todd fell just in front of the Steward Place, where he was loaded into Bird's transfer wagon and conveyed to the Surgical Institute. It was ascertained there that he was not fatally injured, and he was re moved to the Central Station. Dr. Marsee was called in, and dressed his wounds, and he will probably be removed to the Hospital to-day. as thev are pro nounced to be of a very serious nature. He has a wife and two children living in the city, the former being employed with a lamuy near the corner of Seventh and Meridian streets, while he has been boarding with John Ross at 115 North Tennessee street. He is represented by Detective McKinney to be a very desperate character. Officer Saulcy sulfereda badly lacerated thumb in the encounter, beside other bruises, which will disable him for a day or two. Township Trustee's Report.

The cold wave that was said to be on its way has not yet reached this section, and those who were preparing to don their heavy clothing can safely leave it packed away for at least a few weeks yet Thursday's wa.'e was anything but a cold one, although the mercury did not rise as high as on the day previous. It was considerably above 90 in the shade, however, and as warm as anyone could wish. Another heavy rain is a thing that is now in general demand. People seem to have become somewhat accustomed to the heat, and no serions effects have been reported of late. Before Hia Honor. In the" City Court Thur.-day the Mayor fined John. Fitzpatrick $37 for breaking Huegele's window, being the excess he could salt him for malicious trespass. John Sealey was fined $14 on the same charge. Frank Moses was lined for jumping on tbe cars while in motion, as also for drunk. He paid up and was released, although there was a "floater" hanging over him to leave the town and not return. In addition, eight plain drunks and disturbers of the' peace were assessed the usual amount.
