Dr. Pliny Earle, superintendent of the North ampton state lunatic hospital, and Miss Fannie C. Earle,of this city,arrived at New York, Tues day, on the steamer Colorado, from Loudon, after an absence of six months in Europe. As Mis. William Spencer of Temple street was icturning from rhe funeral of a deceased friend, Tuesday evening, her husband so abused and frightened her that she jumped from a second story window, fracturing her loft leg so the bone cut through the skin. Dr. Hubou was called upon to render surgical aid. Hoppin's cork jnudels ot Westminster and Melrose abbeys and ol Windsor castle, which were on exhibition here a few mouths ago, were destroyed by the recent fire in Chicago. They had been exhibited there, but were at the time boxed up in the express office, subject to orders. There was only a moderate insurance on them, and it will be quite a severe Joss to Mr. Hoppin. It will be recollected that he was ten years in completing the work. Municipal Court.—ln themunicipal court, yesterday, Michael Dumphy, charged with the murder of John Stack, was arraigned and his case continued till ten o’clock this morning.

Musical Convention.—The musical season will be inaugurated on Monday, when the county musical convention will assemble in this city. The committee are wry busy completing their arrangements, which we are assured will be on a much larger scale than ever before. If the great talent engaged is an index of the other appointments of the occasion, everything pertaining to its manage:!.ent will be credita ble to the managers of this annual musical festival. Advices from all parts of the county point to an ingathering of (he lovers of music in larger numbers than ever before convened in Worcester county. Season tickets are s iting well, and we advise all to procure them if pos sible before the opening of the convention.

The Worcester committee who have charge of the contributions fur Chicago, have also been empowered to col lect money and clothing for the sufferers by the awful conflagrations in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Cash contributions should be left at the office ol Rice, Whiting Builo. k, corner of Pearl and Main streets, and clothing at the coal office of Strong Rogers, 41U Main street. The clothing most needed is thick, warm winter goods; blankets and bedding will form useful contributions. Prompt action on the part of the generous people of this section will prevent much suffering and misery. It is apparent, by the reports of those who have visited Chicago, that the very generous aid that has already been tendered, will fall tar short of meeting the nc- cessities of the case in that city alone, to say nothing of the urgent cry for help that comes from the northwestern states, where whole town ships have been destroyed. The work ol charity which has been so faithfully organized, must not be permitted to lag while so much remains to be done for the suffering and destitute in the northwest. Shot Himself Accidentally. Willie Brewer, son of Mr. E. I‘. Brewer, policeman, who lives on Suuthbridge sired, accidentally shot himself while handling a pistol yesterday after noon, at about three o’clock. His father found out that he had the pistol a day or two since, and took it away from him; but yesterday he had an opportunity to dispose of it, and bis father le* him lake it for that put pose. He left the house and stood upon the sidewalk near by, forgetting that it was loaded, and examining it with the muzzle pointed towards him, when it discharged a ball into the upper part of his abdo men, which lodg d somewhere near the spine. He went into the house and told his mother that he had shot himself, and was in great pain until relived by an injection of morphine under the skin. The physicians pronounced his case hope less, and be understood that he could not re cover. He is sixteen years of age, and a boy’ loved by all who know him. Though living at midnight, it was thought that he could nut sur vive many hours. Annual Meeting oe the Worcester Agricultural Society.—The annuul meet ing of this society was held yesterday forenoon, in the Indi of the Natural History association, on Foster street. The president, Mr. C. B. Pratt, was in the chair, and was unanimously elected to the same office for another year. Mr. F. C. Thayer was also re-elected secretary and treas urer. J. A. Fayerweather of Westboro and John Brooks of Princeton were chosen vice pre ddents. 'j he other officers were: Delegate to state board of agriculture, O. B.

The report announces >6585.45 as re ceived during the year, and $8092.68 ns expend ed, leaving in the hands of the treasurer a bal ance of 52842.77. A communication from the slate board of ag riculture was read and adopted, h orders each society receiving the bounty of the state to pub lish a catalogue of its members, with their vari ous occupations, in connection with the trans actions of the present year, forbids the bestow ing of future premiums or gratuities for grade or “native” bulls, and requests the organisation of an annual meeting by each society, for lec tures and discussions; these meetings to he de nominated The Farmer’s Institutes ol Massa chusetts.” State Guard.—The vacancy in tire com mandership of the State Guard, created by the recent resignation ol Major Jameson, was filled by the election held last evening. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, both companies being well represented by their most active mem bers. Major Drennan, of the Tenth regiment, presided. Major John R. Green was elected commander by a unanimous vote, and the re sult was received with great applause. Major Green staled that, while thanking the battalion for the honor they [conferred, he had come to the armory with no expectation of being a candidate, and, consequently, could ®lovccstcv w Jailg VOL. 26, NO. 248. not, at once, accept the unlooked-for position; he would neither decline nor ac cept, but would give his answer at the next meeting. The night for holding the battalion meetings was changed from Monday to Wednes day, as the armory has been rented to the city government on Monday and Tuesday evenings, for the use of the City Guards and Light In fantry. After the adjournment of the battalion meeting, Company B was ordered into line, and a communication was read from the committee having in charge the arrangements for the exhi bition drill, at Music hall, of the Montgomery Guard, of Boston, inviting Company B toQdo escort duty for the visitors. It is probable that the invitation will be accepted.

Wisconsin and Minnesota have reached u.s, by which it appears that towns and settlements have been destroyed, and their inhabitants reduced to destitution; and, Whereas, many of the’subscribers to the Chicago aid fund, and others who propose to contribute, have signified their desire that said fund be regard ed as a general fund, from which appropriations may be made for the relief of any of these stricken places at the northwest,— Resolved, that the committee o» forty-five be au thorized ami requested to regard the fund collected under their sup rvision as a general fund, for the re lief of sufferers by any of these great conflagrations; and that they be fully empowered to apportion and disburse the same in’ such manner as in their judg ment will best carry out the intentions and present wishes of the donors. Several of the large subscribers signified their desire to have their own subscriptions devoted in accordance with the abo/e resolutions. The executive committee give notice that clothing for the sufferers by the western fires, including those in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, would be thankfully received. Do nations should be sent to the office of Strong Rogers, coal dealers, 416 Main street. The Cherry Valley Murder—Verdict of the Jury—Michael Duuvry Charged with the Crime. The whole of yesterday was spent by Coroner J. M. Rice in examining witnesses in the inves tigation of the murder of John Stack, whose body was found beside the road between Cherry Valley and the reservoir, Tuesday morning. A dozen or more witnesses were questioned, and those testifying agreed on the main points, with the exception of a small portion of the evidence which came from the man to whom the circum stances pointed as guilty, ami that given by James Marden, who was evidently so drunk during the first three days of the week that be couldn't clearly distinguish Monday from lues day in trying to account sos himself. The ex amination was bekl at the police office. The witnesses from whom the convincing evi dence comes were ignorant fellow-laborers of the suspected, and testified so nearly alike all through that a reproduction of the evidence would be more tedious than comprehensive. The story of the whole affair, as gathered from a dozen or more witnesses examined, may be reduced to the following account, which seems to be the only probable explanation: It seems that the workmen on the reservoir were paid off on Monday, and on the evening ol that day five of them who boarded at the board ing house near the works, viz: Michael Dunvey, James Marden, John Whalan, Timothy Mat tin and Daniel Singleton, went on a spree togeth er to the village of Cherry Valley, and, as they all agree, went to the house of Michael Bulger, and drank lit er until ten or eleven o’clock, with the exception of Singleton, who left the party and went home at nine o'clock. Af ter leaving Bulger’s, at ten or eleven o’clock, the other four started round the village singing and quart cling, and at about midnight Dunvey went to John Nelan’s house, called him up, and got a bo t tie of whiskey—a quart which was turned into the party and kept them going for a while longer. Marden got so drunk that lie left the party and got to the boarding house somehow —neither himself nor any of the others teemed to know how. His eyes were both blackened, and his general ap pearance indicated that be had been fighting at a recent date; but exactly when, where or with whom is a question the answers to which were of a most distracting and confusing nature; but it was made tolerably clear that he was at home thrashing about before the murder was com mitted. This left Michael Dunvey, John Whalen and Timothy Martin together, and the next that is definitely found of their whereabouts, by the tes timony, they were at the cross-wads by Samuel Hodges’ house, where they were joined by John Stack, who had been loafing around the village several days, drinking, as ment oned yesterday, he having been discharged from the reservoir works several months ago. Stack was about as drunk as the rest of the party, and had a bottle of whiskey with him. They drank again all round and started up the road. Whalen and Martin both say that Dunvcy and Stack stopped and began disputing when they were by the woods before coming to the top ol the hill beyond Ilodges’|house, and they (Wha len and Martin) went on and left them, suppos ing that both were coming along home. This was the last seen of them that night, and the place where they were left disputing was near where the dead body of Stack was found, ami also near the bushes from which Michael Has tings testifies to having seen Dunvcy emerge Tuesday morning at half-past six o’clock, al the time the body was discovered by him (Hastings). Dunvey was drunk then, and went staggering up the hill to the boarding house, with his clothes and hands all bloody and his overalls rolled up and under his arm. He was seen by several of the witness es who were going to their work as he went along up the road, and all noticed the blood on his hands and clothes. Daniel Singleton, with whom Dunvey was in the habit of sleeping, saw him In the brook crossing the road trying to hide his overalls, just as he (Singleton) was get ting up Tuesday morning; and when he passed out of the boarding house to go to his work Dunvey passed in, saying, “I’m here now, but I’ll be in hell next week.” He was soon after wards arrested by Constable Perley Holman, and with all his bloody clothing, brought to this city and locked up. Dunvey’s testimony agrees with that of the others who were with him up to the point where Stack drank with them. He says Stack went off he couldn’t tell in what direction—alter “taking a sup at the bottle,” k and he saw noth ing more; that he went up to the boardinghouse and could not get in, as they were all asleep; so he went back a short distance in the road and lay down by the fence and slept till morning. He accounted for the blood on his clothing by saying that he bled at the nose. This latter part of the testi mony did not agree with what the others said. The constable, who w as immediately notified on the finding ol the body, testified that when he reached it, at ten minutes before seven, Tuesday morning, it was nut rigid, and some parts of it were warm; the hands lay under the back, and the clothing was pulled nearly all off. The wit nesses ail recognized Dunvey. The verdict of the jury, after hearing all the evidence, set forth that John Stack came to his death sometime between the hour of nine Mon day night and seven Tuesday morning, in con sequence of divers injuries received on the head, chest and face, which injuries they believed were inflicted by Michael Dunvey, while both Dunvey and Stack were in an intoxicated condi tion. Michael Dunvey (or Domphey, as the wit nesses pronounced it), the man upon whom the suspicion rests, and who is charged with caus ing the death of Stack, by the verdict of the coroner’s jury, is an Irishman of medium stat ure, with a hard look on his face; gray, wild looking eyes, short bristly moustache, dark com plexion, rough and ignorant. He says he came to this country four years ago, from county Waterford, Ireland, where he has a mother liv ing; that he is about thirty years of age, and never had a family or relatives in this country. He has worked on the reservoir about four months; previously worked in Bristol, R. I. While the examination was going on, lie ap peared to be as nervous ami uneasy as is possi ble for a man of his mental calibre and blunted sensibilities. The ease will be heard in flic municipal court, at which time the ground covered by the above statement w ill all have to be gone over again at length, and quite likely more witnesses will be called than were summoned by the coioncr. The witnesses mentioned are all retained under bonds as accessories. COUNTY NEWS. An Athol clergyman was busy with a young man of that town, the other day, packing and nailing up boxes of goods for Chicago; and the two became so engaged that the young man laid oft’ his hat while he nailed the boxes, and the minister packed it in with the rest. The ex planation came after a long and fruitless search. Firemen’s Muster in Grafton.—The fire department in Grafton, consisting of Rescue engine company No. 1, located in the centre of the town, Benj. F. Gibson, foreman; Emperor No. 2, located in New England village, Henry E. Brooks, foreman, and Blackstone N 0.3, lo cated in Farmersville, Simeon E. Cromb, fore man, each with full ranks of forty men, held their annual parade or muster in the centre of the town on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 14th. The order of exercise was as follows: Rescue com pany No. 1 formed in front of the Town hall at one o’clock, and accompanied by North bridge centre brass band of twenty pieces, Em ory Paine, leader, marched to the foot of the hill towards New England village, where they met Emperor company No. 2, with Shrewsbury brass band of eighteen pieces, H. C. Read, lead er. Returning, both companies marched through the village to Bruce Hollow, where they met Blackstone company No. 3, with Hopkin ton brass band of seventeen pieces, T. O. Lucas, leader. The three companies then marched through the principal streets, and halted near the reservoir on the common. A prize of thirty dollars was offered for the company that would, in the shortest time, run ten rods, run off ami uncouple one hundred feet of lead ing hose, and play a stream of fifty feet, fifteen minutes being allowed to each company for trial, they having the privilege of playing as many times as they chose in the fifteen minutes. An other prize of twenty dollars was offered for the company that would, through 100 feet of hose, throw a stream the greatest distance. Owing to some misunderstanding, No. 3 did not enter the contest for the prizes. No. 2, first trial on time,sl seconds; second trial, 50 seconds; No. 1, first trial on time, 70 seconds; second trial, 67 seconds; No. 2, best distance made, 183 feet; No. 1, best distance, 171 feel 10 inches. Both prizes were therefore taken by No. 2. After the trial the three companies repaired to the town hall, where a collation had been prepared by the engineers, George F. Jourdan, chief, of which all partook, and at about 8 o'clock dispersed, apparently well satisfied with the afternoon's performances. Coiigresatiotaal Coufereuce in SbrewM bury. The annual autumnal session of the Worces ter central conference of Congregational churches, began in Shrewsbury, yesterday, in Rev. E. Porter Dyer’s church. There was a very full attendance. Rev. Henry Cummings of Rut land was chosen moderator, and Rev. A. H. Coolidge of Leicester scribe. After half an hour’s devotional exercises, the remainder of the forenoon was given to addresses by Rev. C. M. La in sun of Worcester, Rev. Henry Dutton of Northboro, and Rev. Andrew Bigelow, D. D., of Boylston, on the subject, “How can the Sab bath school be made a more effective instru mentality for the conversion of the young.” Rev. Mr. Lamson spoke of the mutual relation between the chilren and the church, and of the relative duties of the parents, teachers in the Sabbath schools, and pastors, as to the religious instruction of the young, say ing they should be taught to make the church their home, and to consider it in the light of a family and home. Religious in struction should be imparted as something nat ural and congenial to the minds of little chil dren, accompanied with agreeable associations, and they should be brought up with the idea of cheerfulness and loveliness as connected with all religious duties, and not be taught to look upon them as of a sombre and gloomy aspect. Religion should be imparted to the young as something child-like and natural and congenial to their natures, and not as opposed to true en joyment. The subject of conversion should be spoken of in a familiar, cheerful, and joyful manner, attractive to and comprehensible by little children, of whom Christ said, “of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” In such a way, the work of Christianity should,bc wrought out in the hearts of the young, rather than by allu sion to ideas or doctrines comprehensible only by adults. And instruction in the Sabbath school should be supplemented by proper family instruction at home. Rev. Mr. Dutton spoke of the impropriety of undertaking to make children comprehend doc trines, saying the great lever of influence with them was in reaching out to them the hand of personal trust. With proper family aud Sab bath school instruction, in this way, inefface able impressions could be made upon the tender minds and hearts of the young, not possible to be made by intellectual apprehension at too early a period. Rev. Dr. Bigelow spoke of the duty of supplementing the lalmrs of Sabbath school teachers by proper instruction at home. The afiernoon was devoted to the exercises of the 47th anniversary of the Auxiliary Foreign Missionary society of Worcester central associa tion. The following officers were chosen for the year casing: President, Rev. Wm. A. Hough ton of Berlin; vice presidents,Philip L. Moen abd Rev. R. B. Stratton of Worcester; secre tary, Rev. A. H. Coolidge of Leicester; treasur er, Dea. E. H. Sanford of Worcester; auditor, Charles Washburn of Worcester. The treasur er’s report showed that the sum of $5,822.86 was contributed by the various churches of the association during the last year to the American board, of which this society is auxiliary. After prayer by Rev. L. D. Mears of Sterling, the chairman, Rev. Mr. Houghton, made his opening address, giving a brief review of the work of the society, with allusion to the vast changes in the history of this country and of the world, as well as in the field of missions, during the last half century, especially. He WORCESTER: THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19, IS7I. closed with a most hopeful view of the prospects of the future, as certain to follow the remarka ble progress of the last ten or twenty years, in the spread of the gospel in foreign lands. Rev. Luther H. Gulick, a native of the Sand wich islands (son of Rev. Peter J. Gulick, a na tive of New Jersey, a Ilie-long missionary in the .Sandwich islands, who has four or live sous, missionaries in various parts of the world), was then introduced, and made a very able address in review of missionary operations since the or ganization of the American board. He made interesting allusion to various reminiscences connected with his own labors within the last twenty years, where his father and himself had been so long stationed. He said there were now in the Sandwich islands over 130 churches, all built by themselves, and all self-supporting, and more than that, they contributed large sums annually for missionary purposes and the sup port of churches iu the islands far out beyond, where the light of the gospel was being sent further and farther every year. He spoke of the astonishing progress of Christian civilization among the heathen in the Micronesian islands, and beyond in Madagascar, Japan, China, &c., saying soon the whole world would be encir cled. To show the remarkable progress of the last twenty years, Mr. Gulick stated that when he first came to this country, in 1851, by the then traveled route, via Cape Horn, five months' time was consumed from Hawaii, and seven months from the Micronesian islands. When he came here next, ten years ago, by wav of Panama, it took two months from the Sand wich islands; his last trip, just made, occupied only ten days. Ami all this remarkable physi cal progress was but typical of the astonishing progress possible, if not already accomplished, in the religious and moral world. The venerable octogenarian, Rev. Geo. Allen, of Worcester, nearly fifty years ago pastor in that church, was next called upon, ami in most feeling terms alluded to the times and circum stances of sixty years ago, when he attended the first anniversary of the American lioard at Worcester, describing the men of marked char acter who composed that body, and contrasting those with the present, to show the astonishing advance of Christian civilization in the world. He also made allusion to the part taken by him self and others in the formation of the auxiliary society, forty-seven years ago, and of rhe influ .ence of that organization upon the progress of missionary enterprise. Mr. Allen’s allusion to various interesting reminiscences and the promi nent men of fifty and sixty ago engaged in this great missionary work, and his estimate of their character and the value cf their labors, were listened to with great interest and attention. Rev. H. T. Cheever of Worcester spoke of the old man at Wailuku, Sandwich islands,a native, who was the first mover in the enterprise of making the churches there self-sustaining, twen ty-seven years ago. The session of the conference will be con tinued to-day, closing with the administration of the sacrament. iLATEST NEWS. BY TELEGRAPH ru THK WORCESTER DAILY Our New York Dispatches.
