Death Of James Guessford.

James GuessfOrd. an old and highly
respected farmer, near Downs Chapel
died on Thursday last, aged "a years.
DE had been in poor health all the
winter, and in failing health for sew.
eFal years, but his fatal sickness was
trotn stoke of paralysis three or four
weeks ago. Mr., Guessford was quiet
industrious man, q lover of peace and
ready to do kindly act whenever he
had an opportunity. He accordingly
was held In high regard throughout his
section and his death felt as an addi-
tional loss to the several that the
neighborhOOd has sustained the past
year in two.
Alr. auessfoFd was living q aomeYhat
secluded but industrious and religious
life when the leading Wings in casting
about for candidate for Assessor Of
Duck Greek Hundred (which then EN-.
braced KentOn Hundred) chose him.
He made popular run, as they ex-
pected, and was elected. This was in
1858. His experience on being intro
duced into political life was that of
many OtheFs--nO advantage In morals.
business and that domestic quiet chat

try of Rev. Mr.. Yingling twelve or
thirteen years ago, Mr.. Gueesfprd

The Conference.

The Wilmington Conference meets
in CentreVille tomorrow. The EUery
EUening in referring to it says a rumor
has come from Centreville that the ses-
sion will most likely be the breeziest in
the history of the conference. The
breeze it is said, will be Occasioned bV
the unpleasant feeling existing between
the Rev. Charles A. Hill, pastor of
Centreville NJ. E. Church, and the
Peninsula Methodist. This unpleasant
uess, it is said, dates back more than a
year, and is the result of a controversy
between Mr.. Hill and the paper on the
temperance question. Less than two
weeks ago the feeling, it is said, was
intensified by Mr.. Hill declining to
furnish the paper with list of the
conference homes" and by the meth
cd alleged to have been taken by the
paper to obtain a list. From q most
reliable source, Every Evening has as
certained that the Peninsula Methodist
intends to make it hot" for Mr.. Hill
at Conference, but in what manner the
temperature will be made to rise. those
questioned either do not know or will
not tell. From present indications it
would not be surprising to see an effort
to make the Conference Chronicle the
official organ. The sympathies of the
members of the conference seem to be
drifting to the latter paper because its
editor is ministerial member of this
conference.
Conference Chronicle says "The in
VitatiOns extended by churches to
their pastors to return another wear
are so numerous that we find it diff
cult to keep up with them. This Gus.
tom is a new thing in Methodism,
but it is rapidly growing and is under
stood to have a significance which pas
tors cannot afford to ignore. The time
has arrived when the pastor who is not
invited back, considers himself invited
out"
The Peninsula Methodist people will
prefer against the Revs. Charles A.
Hill, l.. P. Corkran and Ralph T.
Coursey the charge of conduct unhe.
coming a minister and against Presid-
ing Elder Wilson, a more serious
charge.
The EUery Evening of yesterday had
the following in a communication from
the editor of the Peninsula Methodist
"This paper has no controversy with
the conference, but with grateful ap-
probation of past favors and of repeat
ed cOmmendatiOn will gladly serve the
conference to the best of its ability, so
long as that service is acceptable. II
the approaching session is to be the
breeziest in the history of the confere-
renee, it will net be occasioned by the
unpleasant feelings existing between
the Rev. Charles A. Hill, pastor of
Centreville NJ. d. Church and the
Peninsula Methodist, but by matters
which have caused serious difficulties in
the conference for several years past
and are likely to culminate in discip-
linary proceedings at the present ses-
sion.
