phenomenon at four clock on the morning of

eastern ranges; yet the morning star rose of a
blood-red color, and with bright white halo,
app arently five or six feet in diameter, sur
rounding it. From the lower part of this halo
extended downward tail apparently eight
feet long and two feet in breadth at the upper
part. This tail was slightly curved, of sabre
shape, bluntly rounded at the lower end, and
botht and the halo appeared to be filled with
thousands of small and exceedingly brilliant
stars. This strange light lasted some fifteen
or twenty minutes, or until the star had risen
so high that the tail of the halo appeared to
be two or three feet above the crest of the dis.
tant range, when it suddenly faded out. The
phenomenon was witnessed by hundreds of per-

ABINGDON, VA, Sept. 80. 1880!
Our pleasant session Is over, and our Wcrk
mapped out for another year. The past year
through the bounds Of the Conference has been
year Of much prosperity. All the reports
in the aggregate-lenote improvement. The
aggregate claims of the preachers, as per flrlan-
cial report, were s's, 424.35; aggregaterecefpts,
S2T.53.63-an increase in the receipts Of
S4,Gf7.S0. Last year the Church In our bounds
paid to Foreign Missions $150.93; this year
1t has paid to the same cause, SJ0S.04. Last
year we had 26.120 white members. and l72
colored; this year we have 9,72l white, aud
2I2 colored. The increase in membership this
year Is 3,5i4 white and 100 colored.
The Conference has never had any thing like
q complete report on Church property before
the present session. The committee on Church
property report $3.50 churches, 81 parsonagcs
and 30 camp-grounds. They estimate the en-
tire Church property at something more than
$500,0O0. Their report states that there are 46
churches in East Tennessee belonging by right
to the NJ. +. Church South, from which the NJ
Il. Church North totally excludes them. The
amount of property thus unrighteously held
they estimate at $4,000. This does not include
any OF the houses where we are allowed to
preach in common with the ministers OF the
NJ. L. Church.
The Conference adopted the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That this Conference appoint II
committee of fve-three clerical and two lay
members-to visit the Holston Conference Of
the NJ. +. Church. soon to convene in Jones'
boro. and present that body in a christian spir-
it, an earnest request from this Conference to
relinquish to us all our Church property which
they now hold, and from which we are now ex-
cluded."
The committee are DR.. f. L. Wiley, Rev. b.

Esq and E. G. Reeves. Esq.

We learn from President Cobleigh that the
prospects of the University are growing more
bright and flattering every day. The session
commenced in September, and the number of
students in attendance has already reached
ninety-tive, and will probably be increased to
hundred and twenty-five by the middle of
the term. At no time within our recollection
has there been such general interest mani
Tested in East Tennessee in regard to educa-
ton. Schools and institutions of learning of
various grades are springing up in every d.
rection, and they all seem to be largely and
literally sustained. These facts argue most
auspiciously for the future of our section.
