Several prominent citizens OF the

held. There will be another meeting
next Tuesday night at Bradley's Hall,
on Head street below Eleventh, which
should DO attended by the manufac-
turers and property owners of the
ward. For the purpose of saving ex-
penses 1t is proposed TO organize I'M

Bishop Coleman returned to his home
In this city on Tuesday evening aftel
passing three weeks in Virginia, dur.
ing which time he walked 375 miles
averaging nearly twenty miles eacll
day. In his journey he had some
rather amusing experiences. In one
ease he was taken to be an advance
agent fora circus company; in another,
a book agent; again he was looked
on as man engaged in the sale of
patent medicines, and one party
thought he was spy and offered to
give him some points in regard to the
moonshiners. In some places he found
IL difficult to procure Accommodations
for the night, MS the country folks re
garded him with a degree of suspicion.
In one village the landiHdy asked
him why he did not travel on the train,
thinking it singular that any one who
could afford to pay for aecommodit-
lions should be travelling about the
country on foot. On another occasion
he found 1t expedient to sleep on the
lloor OF an unoccupied house in the out
skirts of a village. In this way the
Bishop gained some experience in the
ways of the world and picked up a
good deal Of information which he
could not acquire in any other way.
His health has been repaired and his
constitution strengthened by his Pc
destrian tour. SO that he will be
enabled to more fully discharge the
manifold duties devolving upon him,
and add many additional years to his
usefulness In the affairs of his State,
as well as oil his church.
