rt;. boIv convened at Clarksvie on the 10th
inst and was opened by Bishop Pierce at
o'clock A. NJ. Bishop Soule was present most
of the session, and took much interest IN the
proceedings. a large number Of the members
WAS nresent, and the business, which has grown
20 he very heavy was transacted in the usual mode,
and with much harmony. A large number ofcandi-
Jates for admission was receivedTon trial. and, as
win be seen from the list of appointments, several
were transferred TO various sister Conferences.
The finances fell below the demands of the Church
but this was owing mainly to the great pressure on
the monetary affairs of the country.
Three brethren had died during the year namely,
Revs r Erwin, D, w Cooley, and Coleman ii
Cross These all died in the faith. An appropriate
and affecting discourse was preached on Tuesday
in memory of these brethren, by DR. Green. The
effect on the congregation, well as on the men,
bers of Conference, was deep all mourned the loss
of their worthy colleagues, but rejoiced in their
triumph over the fear Of death.
Bishop Pierce presided to the universal satistac-
ton of the preachers, and his sermon and addresses
made deep impression on all who heard him. His
visit will be long remembered with pleasure.
The citizens of GAINESVILLE displayed much hos
pltaity in the entertainment of the Conference and
visitors and the various railroads were generous IN
conveying the preachers on liberal terms.
The Conference adjourned on Thursday, the 18th
inst

the Conference, will be published IN due time. BE-
