The official programme for the reception at Ottawa in honor of the delegates to the Triennial Council has been prepared.

At half-past one o'clock, sharp, a procession will be formed. Invitations to be present and take part in the demonstra- tion were extended to several outside or- ganizations, including one to the Orange- men of Montreal. It is not expected, how- ever, that the latter will be present ina bedy, but merely as individuals. The visitors will be received at the various sta- tions by the district of Ottawa lodges.

MONTREAL. MonrreaL, June 30.
The shocking murder of the unfortunate woman Mrs. Connolly, which took place Friday, p. m., is causing considerable ex- citement. ‘The inquest is proceeding to- day. The theory ot the murder is that the terrible butchery lies between one Flana- gan and the woman Myers. There was probably no motive for the commission of the awful deed except of satisfying the rage of adrunken person or persons. The murder undoubtedly was cone between seven o’clock, a. m., and two p.m. Addi- tienal particulars about the prisoner, Mrs. Myers, proves her to be a notorious charac- ter. She had been convicted just twenty times in the Recorder’s Court since 1855. She once threw her mother over a gallery, breaking her legs, and again put her out of the house on a winter night, and left her te lie in the yard until morning. The mother had finally to be sent to St. Bridget’s Home by the police, to be out of her way. Mrs. Myers, her husband and Flanagan «re under arrest.
ZULULAND.
Lonpon, June 30.
1t seems certain that the last peace over- tures of Cetewayo were bona fide. A des- patch from General Wood’s camp says the messengers of Cetewayo have been recog- nized as important persons by native spies. While these were palavering with Chelms- ford a report arrived that the Zulus were advancing on Wood’s camp. Thé messeng- ers readily agreed to be shot if the report proved'true. When it was ascertained that the report was unfounded the messengers were released. Chelmsford, after stating the terms of peace, declared befere treating further that the’two captured cannons and some hostages must be given up. The messengers asked Chelmsford to halt, pend- ing an answer, but he refused. :
The troopers who were with the Prince Imperial when he was killed declare in con- tradiction to Lieut. Carey’s statement that the survivors galloped two or three miles without stopping. The Times correspondent summarizing the various accounts of the death of the Prince, says the Quartermas- ter General disobeyed {Chelmsford’s orders
ee
by sending the Prince on a dangerous ex- pedition, the escort of which deserted its duty. In the whole affair there was not one redeeming feature.

Methodist Conference.
PUBLIC SERVICES.
Monpay, JUNE 30.
On Saturday a seryice, which partook largely of an experimental character, was held in the Basement, presided over by Dr. Pope, a former pastor ef the church here.
Several of the members of the Conference took part in it, including Drs. Pickard and Stewart, and Messrs. J. Price, 8. James, W. Lawson, and J. Lathern, whese words were profoundly listened to. The recollec- tion of his early departure from our midst seemed to be the most prominent thought in the minds of all. Yesterday morning service was held at 6.03 a.m., when Rey. F. Freeman preached his trial sermon. At nine o’clock a well-attended love feast was held, presided over by Dr. Stewart. It proved a blessed preparation for the day’s services. Service was conducted in the morning by Rev. J. Shaw, President of the Toronto Conference. A large congregation listened with great profit te the preacher while he faithfully discoursed from the passage contained in Galatians 4 chap. and 18 v. Inthe afternoon a Sabbath School service was held, when addresses were.de- livered by Rev. E. Evans and R. 8. Ack- man—the latter of whom has already taken part in two Conference services this session in the same Church. Some imagine that this arises from the scarcity of suitable speakers in the Conference. But the cause is that many of the Ministers appointed manage to get out of this work. In the evening a full church g-eeted Dr, Suther- land, whe appeared to be ready for all the work which is imposed upen. From the suecess which he had already achieved on the platform, since h's coming here, many predicted that platform speaking was es- sentially his forte. However, the service yesterday evening proved that he was equally as strong in the pulpit. He gave a masterly discourse on the nature of the death of Christ. After the service a most impressive Saczamental service was held, which was attended by nearly all the min- isters and by an unusually large number of the members ef both the Metho- dist Churches as well as members from other Churches. Upper Prince Churth was supplied by the Rev. R. Duncan, Chairman of the Fredericton District. He preached a rich expository discourse based upon Matthew the 16ch chap. and 18th
verse. His remarks on the strength of the church—its spiritual power—were very timely. In the afternoon a Sabbath School
service was held. Several suitable pieces were well sung, and well-timed addresses were given by Revs. J. Marshall and B. Chappell, B. A. The evening service was conducted by Rev. Douglas Chapman, Chairman of the Sackville District. He delivered a sermoa of a truly evangelical nature, and very applicable to his audience. Members of the Conference also occupied the pulpits of the Pvesbyterian and Baptist Churches of the city, as well as most of the Methodist pulpics on the Island. This morning Conference sat with closed doors for more than an hour, when the preachers to be ordained this evening, Messrs. W. J. Kirby, M. R. Knight, A. B.; W. Pepper, T, Hicks, S. E. Colwill, G. Steel, W. Wass, J. Goldsmith, add J. R. King were ex- amined, for nearly two hours, on various points of doctrine by Dr. Stewart, Theo- logical Professor, of Sackville, in a very kindly way.
