Conference Notes.


Rev. ]. NJ Carr, Presiding Elder Of the
GAINESVILLE District, and Chairman OF
the recent District Conference, is, WE
should judge, about forty years old, and
is therefore just in his prime. 1t is said
by those who know him that his ability
for business is of a high order; that he
is careful and accurate in all his admin
istrative acts, and as consequence is
well qualified for the important office he
now holds. Many of his ministerial
brethren think that he should be sent to
the next General Conference.
W. Darby, another member of the
Conference, has been one of the most
useful ministers of the NJ. E. Church; he
has been preaching about twenty-five
years.
John Wright is another of the older
members of the Conference, and is well
known throughout the East Ohio Con-
ference.
OF the younger members who give
promise of increasing usefulness in the
future, We may mention RevS. NJ. j.
SlutZ, II. B. Stewart, w. II. Rider, and
C. B. Henthorn.
Rev. Geo. B. Smith, of West Bridge
port, New Philadelphia District, who
was visitor to the late Conference held
in this place, is one of the heartiest of
men, is good preacher, and gives prom
ise of great usefulness to the Church.
Some of the good brethren of the
Barnesville District Conference are good
a nd tN bai
gifts in that direction whenever they get
a chance. Too much debate is some
times worse than too much silence.
ALL persons owning tents at the Dis
trict Camp Meeting grounds, and who do
not intend using them the present sea-
son, are requested to inform A. Gregg,
Bethesda, o.. Immediately. -

One of the rolls at the Rolling Mill
broke last Thursday afternoon, throwing
a large nInber of the employees out of
work until yesterday, when the repair

A terrible accident happened Monday
night about II 80 P. H., just in the CEN

watchman, John Carle, who ever since
the bridge was completed has acted as a

and the numerous trains passing over
the same, by some accident, went to
sleep, and unfortunately threw his legs
over the track, and at II 80 the engine
going over after the midnight train, run

severing both limbs almost entire, re-
quiring but slight cuts by his surgeons
to complete the temporary amputation.
