ArrEREooN.


The motion TO adopt the report of the ma
Jorlty Of the committee on Home Missions be-
ing the order OF the day, the report was read,
and the question arose on the adoption OF the
report The reading Of the minority report be-
ing also called for, il was read
A long, and animated discussion now arose,
which was Aontinued through the rest of the
day, and was participated in BY the following
members of the Conference !: Messrs Deford,
R. Reese. U. Ward, W. Starr, w. Fl. Collins,
Thomas Campbell, and T. H. Stockton
Rev. I. Fl. Stockton said at this late hour he
would only speak to one subject. He would
only speak Of The reasons why he was opposed
to the majority report. He would congratu-
late the Conference on the progress they had
made to a decision. And first he had been
thrown into false position. He had been
supposed to be personally interested, but he
had never spoke in any Conference or written
IN any paper on the subject.
He was also again in false position. He
was only an honorary member where he should
have been full member. But leaving these
10 abeyance he would say that he was glad or
the concessions made. In the East, the eyes
of those that watched would stare, and the ears
of them that hardened would be astounded
when they heard and saw the concessions
made. He had never heard it admitted before
that missions were anything else than incipi-
ent circuits
Here The Rev. L. X. Reese added, or sta
have, said Mr.. Stockton, repeat, never
heard any such thing before. II is given up
that missions may be established in any unoc.
cupied space, whether in town, country or c-
ty. Hold on to this.
Again, another concession is that 10 to a
certain period missions are not under the re-
stricve rule. This he never heard before. Ii
had been always said that any such thing was
unconstitutional He here read some extracts
from Rev. Mr.. Reese's own writings, substan-
hating the fact that up to this time the same
had never been admitted.
Here the Rev. L. r. Reese explained tha,
ne had stated IN the beginning, that he had had
some things presented 10 him which had sha-
ken his opinion, and in the report he gave the
minority the benefit Of the doubt, but he was
NOT fully decided.
Mr. Stockton. The brother has given up
in the report his old position, and he should
hold him there. And now he would state his
objections 70 the report And first, the report
in stating what they thought to be the meaning
Of the rule had given only the purpose. The
meaning had nos been touched on. Purpose
and meaning might be different. Second,
their statements Of the purpose were mere as
sumptions. They had brought no arguments
"Ii is our judgment" forsooth. Bring forth
your strong vsas0s saith the King Of Jacob"
We want them all We wait conteniedlv.
Again. The purpose was as assumed, an
unworthy one. No word Of the interests Of
souls. Only the formation Of circuits and sta
tions. Oh that Is not the purpose. i 10 high

FORENOON.

rohENOONs
Sundry reports from committees were made
and disposed of; among the rest report from
the committee on Slavery, which states that
eleven Annual Conferences have expressed a
desire to have the word white," as it occurs
in the several parts Of the discipline, stricken
out, &c. The report closes with recommen-
dation that the Conference adopt the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the practice Of buying or
selling men, women, or children, with the in
tention Of enslaving them or holding them in
involuntary slavery. is, in the judgment Of this
General Conference, an offence condemned by
the word of GoD.
The resolution was laid on the table.
The unfinished business oi yesterday, being
the resolution Of The Rev. c. Springer, that
each Circuit and Station should be entitled to
one lay delegate to each minister, who may be
entitled TO a seat in the Annual Conference,
whether that minister be an itinerant, super
annuated, or supernumerary, if he sits as a
minister from that circuit.
After much discussion, the previous gues-
ton was moved and sustained, and the main
question put and lost--ayes 81, noes 29.
Rev. J. G. Whitefeld offered resolution
making such alterations in the Discipline as
should legalize the appointment of alternaies
to serve in the absence Of their principals

CALVES WITH SHEEP.-We have often
recommended the keeping of claves with
sheep, as we have found il an excellent
Plan' and highly approved Ofby others who
have tried it. In this way there is less
trouble, and the calves keep in fine condi.
ton upon the coarse part of the fodder
which the sheep leave. In such cases
calves are never afflicted with vermin. and
if any ara on them before, they will soon
disappear after the calves are among the
sheep. Sheep are usually provided with a
good shelter in winter, and the calves will
seek the warmest part of it in cold wealth.
er. This plan viii not do for those who
keep sheep without water in winter, unless
the calves have extra attention in this res

SWINE RUNNING AT LARGE.

We know elmo practice more to be rep
rehended among farmers, than to let their
hogs run at large and congregato about
their doors when they are fed. Here they
stir. up deep mortar bed Of mud with their
beastly feet and shouts, and add to it the
dropPings Of their odious filth, and the de.
caying heaps Of corn CORDS from which
they have shelled their food, making the ap.
proach to many farm houses dirty and dis.
gushing in the extreme. A pig of a fine
breed, clean, and in good condition, is like
other stock, pleasant sight enough when
kept in his proper place but brought out
inbOld relief near the house, he is extreme.
" disgusting and filthy. BY letting hogs
run at large they are forever in mischief,
and put the farmers to much extra expense
in fencing; they CLEAN little abroad, and
sadly waste their flesh in roaming; and
what is quite as important to many, they
also waste their manure. Keep them up
in pens or clOse.fenced fields, sufficiently
distant from the house to prevent their odor
from reaching it, let the wind blow as it list.
It's best to let swine run in orchards here
they are kept out Oflarm's way, and thrive
well on fruit.
The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-04-29

BoILING PoTAToRS.-Not one house.
keeper out of ten knows how to boil pota-
toes properly. Here is an Irish method,
one Of the best we know. Clean wash
the potatoes and leave the skin on, then
bring the water to boil and throw them
in. As soon as boiled soft enough for a
fork to be easily thrust through them, dash
some cold water into the pot, let the pota.
toes remain two minutes, and then pour off
the water. This done, half remove the pot
lid, and let the potatoes remain over a slow
fire ill the steam is evaporated, then peel
and set them on the table in an open dish.
Potatoes of good kind thus cooked will
always be sweet, dry, and mealy. A COW
cred dish is bad for potatoes, as it keeps
the steam in, and makes them soft and wa.
terry.
