MBsIEs. RpfroRs:--Altkough it is siy
weeks before the Philadelphia ANNA
Conference ocnvenes, the secular pres
Of that city las many Of the appaint
ments already fixed" and published
leaving the Bishep and his cabinet hu
little to do but give their quist assent
As the Wilmington Conference viii
meet in FIVE weeks, and the curious
and gessipy in some quarters are snx,
iously looking for something ofthekind,
permit one, who thinks that he knows,
TO make mention of the "probs 5les, :"
as far as it relates to this city and the
Wilmington District.
DR.. Mstlack, being an impartial wise,
juiicious, industrious, popular Pre-
siding Elder, will remain on the dis
trie. until the end of his term two
years hence. DR.. Caldwell of St.
pauPB and b R.Whits OF BrandyHine,
because OF disciplinary limitation, viii
bs removed, the former probably to
Dover and White to FELTON,, each to Gil
second term. There will be 10 other
changes in the city or at Mt, Salem.
V. Smith will probably continue to
serve Mt. Lebanon ana W: B. Gregg, "a
three years man, Bethel G. W.
Wilcox, popular at Mt. Pleasant, will
be returned, and it is hard to tell who
will supply Claymont, probably A. T.
Scott or Henry Sandersou. Although
N. A. Richards would I'll the bill at st,
Psups, he cannot BIZ spared from New
Castle, and strong effort will be made
to keep him there. John Shilling fits
ChristiAns and D. T. Wsddell Red
Lion and Glasgow and they will not
move. J. 0. Sypherd will probably re,
main the third year at st. Georges and
the sammit. W. Y. Talbot will remain
at Delaware City. J. w. Hammersly
will be continued at Chesapeake City
and L. W. Layleld at Bethel, q. 5,
Conawsy is doing effective work at
Elk Neck and will be returned. J. D.
Rigg, although wanted at Smyrna, can
not well be spared from Newport, and
may remain to fill up his second term
there. W. 4 Avsry, unfortunately
being an unmarried man, will h&ve to
leave Blkton to give place to man
with 9 hslpmate, and the Lord only
knows who it will bs, deponsth saith
not. John France, always acceptable,
will return to Newark for the third
year. r. B. Hunter having served
Cherry Hill three years, will have to
90 and will probably be assigned an
important appointment on the Easton
District. c. T. Sheppard will be re.
turned to build church at North
East. A. b. Davis, alFAys three
years man, will most probably remain
70 NJ his tsrtp OIL Iion circuit, and J,
y. Kent at Rising SuR, although want
I'D elsewhere. K. C. Mseniohol prefer
going below which will give some one
there an opportunity OF coming Ia
Charlestown, and last but not least N
NJ. Browne will continue on at Port
Deposit.
AS to the unprovidsd appointments :
81. Pauls, Brsndywine, Cherry Hill
and Charlestown we ars in quandry
We would suggest F. C. McSOrley fol
Brandywine, E II. Nelson for Cherry
Hill, r. J. Prettymau for Charlestown
and leave St. Paul's 10 Fix things" tc
their own liking.
If Bishop Bowman and his counsel
can do bstter than the above they are
welcome to the task. II they fud
themselves 10 tangle in their endeav,
Dr to do so let them call on the writer
and he will help them out.
