| The Synod Of North Carolina.-This important ec.
clesiastical court convened in Fayetteville on We'd
nesday night the 18th inst, and continued its SEES.
sions until late in the night of Saturday.
| 1t was numerousy attended by both ministers
and ruling elders. The questions discussed we're
of real Importance, and the issues reached are of
interest to the Church at large. The preaching
was very acceptable to the large congregations
which constantly attended. Altogether it was
profitable meeting. The pleasantness of it was im-
measurably enhanced by the generous inequalities
extended to all the members, by the people of the
noble little city which witnessed its sessions.-N.

Brunswick Church and its Pastor yellow fe-
| YER has almost disappeared from Brunswick, Ga.
During its prevalence we were unable to learn any
particulars respecting our congregation there, and
its pastor, the Rev. r. A. Mickle. We have now
learned that ocr brother remained faithfully at his
post, visiting the sick and burying the dead, until
he was seized with unmistakabe symptoms of the
Fever and he was peremptorily ordered away by
his physician. He managed to reach Macon, and
was there carefully nursed at the Rev. Mr.. Clisby's
home until he was able to join his family at Griffin.
He is now gradually recovering his strength.
The members of the congregation for the most
part left Brunswick soon after the fever broke out
only four entire families remaining. Two gen.
tlemen belonging to the congregation died SO far
as is known, no others were attacked.
A friend IN writing to US says: I" The distress in
Brunswick from the time the fever commenced,
cannot be adequately described in words it cannot
even be imagined. The reality could be appre-
ciated only by the poor sufferers themselves.
Let us thank God that the scourpe ia no longer
desolatiHg Brunswick And may it please Him
soon to cause it to cease its ravages in Savannah
Southern Presbyterian
Ministers anted.-We find the following in the
Southern Presbyterian:
Mr.. W. d. Hollaman, an elder in our church
at Quincy, Florida, writes us that that church is
without pastor, and that the Session is DESTROYS
of opening correspondence with minister who
may be willing to labor there. He intimates that
minister without family would be preferred, as
the church has no parsonage.
Mr.. q. NJ. Suggs, of Green Hill, Titus county
Texas, writes us: Screen Hill Presbyterian church
has been without preaching for over two years.
We are a very weak church and too far from any
other church to unite with it in the support OF
minister. We therefore wish to have minister
who will also teach small school-say about fit.
teen scholars-at salary of $500 This is small
salary but is all we can offer. There might be
some others brought into the school if so, the tu-
ition whatever it might be, would be added to the
salary We have good church building, and are
clear of debt. Can you put Us in correspondence
with suitable minister?"
Rev. R. K smoot, D. D., for sixteen years pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Bowling Green, KY,
has accepted second call to the church at Austin,
Texas. The Euening Netos pays him the following
we'll deserved compliment: "Dr. Smoot is yet q
young man, and has achieved reputation as one
of the most abeand eloquent ministers of the Pres
byterian church in the South. He is widely known
aud greatly esteemed in Kentucky, where he was
educated in theology having many warm friends
aud admirers in this city, A broad field of useful.
ness in his own denomination is presented to him
in Texas and the people Of Austin, irrespective
of religious Creed are to be congratulated upon
having him as an accession to their community
