A Con Colored Sunday School Picnic.
From the Sun.
Another one of those colored Sun
day school processions swept like a
mighty wave through town last Thurs
day. There's stacks of work to do on
the farm just now, or this picnic nev
er would have happened. This time
it was the Zion Union Sunday school
which, by the way, seems to be com
posed chiefly or teachers, judging from
the number who were festooned with
blossoms and banners and paste
board batons to punch up the "schol
ars.'
First there was the brass band a
fragmentary concern, formed in a hoi-
low square around two drums. These
drums had good strong heads in them
and the noise sounded like a contin
uous roar of thunder- very near at
hand. When the bass drummer stop
ped to spit on his hands, the band
managed to edge in a note or two, but
when he settled down to business
again it looked like the players were
working",the. valves just ior the fun of
the thing.
Immediately behind the band were
the little negroes. There was con
siderable "scrouging" among the schol
ars to get as near the band as possible.
If it hadn't been for the hollow square
around the drummers, large numbers
of these scholars would doubtless
have been slain, as the drum -sticks
weighed some six or seyen pounds
apiece.
Just behind, and hovering . around
the' scholars, were Sunday, school
teachers, male and female, until you
positively couldn't rest, and every
third teacher was a marshal and each
marshal had one sash, the more for
tunate ones wearing two.
Well this was on the sidewalk. Out
in the street were the superintendents,
about forty in all. on horseback, Some
of the horses looked like they might
stand the trip, but the majority were
prepared to meet death calmly Be
hind the superintendents were several
four horse loads of colored people who
were too sick to walk.
-Last of all was a wagon full of "wit
ties" with a very hungry looking driv
er in front and a man behind. to waxen
the driver and two men on horseback
to watch the man behind. The proces.
Bioh was bent on a four mile walk lfibe

EPISCOPAL CONTENTION.
Sixty-Second Annual Convention of the Protestant
' Episcopal Church in lorth Carolina.
Condensed from Wilmington Star, 11th.
' - raiED" day's' PBocEEDnras. !
The convention was called to order,
after morning pray er, by the assistant
bishop. .
ReirBS Bronson, rector of St Peter's
Church, Charlotte, and Rev L Holmes,
of Charlotte, appeared and took their
seats in the convention. 1
The recommendation of the commit
tee on Canons relative to a change in
the time for making up the parochial
reports, which had beenL. made the
special order for consideration im
mediately after the reading of the min
utes, was discussed and adopted.
ColTWm L DeRosset, oh behalf of
the citizens of this city, .presented an
invitation to the . convention to par
ticipate in an excursion down the
river on the steamer J S Underbill to
day. "
On motion of Kev W S Bynum, the
invitation was gratefully accepted.
Mr J B McRae offered the following,
which was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the thanks of the
convention are due and are hereby
tendered to the reotor, church wardens,
yestry and congregation of St James'
parish, and the rectors of St John's,
tit Paul's, and St Mark's parishes and
their congregations, and the citizens of
Wilmington generally for the uniform
kindness and courtesy extended to the
members of the convention during
their sittings in this city.
Bev Dr Buell read the report of the
committee on the State of the Church,
embodying some interesting statistics
which have heretofore been given.
Bev Dr Buxton, from the committee
on Canons, reported adversely on the
amendment of Bev W S Bynum to
make the sessions every three years in
stead of every year, as at present.
Rev W S Bynum moved to amend
his original resolution by making the
proposed change to biennial sessions
instead of triennial, as therein propos
ed. After some little discusion, on motion
of Hon Wm H Battle, the whole mat
ter was laid on the table.
On motion of Col W L DeRosset, it
was
Resolved, That the secretary be in
structed to omit the publication of the
parochial reports in full in the journal,
as has been customary, and that he
will instead cause these reports to be
tabulated under the proper heads.
tev Dr button, chairman of the
committee to whom was referred that
part of the addresses of the bishops re
ferring to the Wilberforce Dioeesan
School for boys, at Morganton, report
ed, and recommended the following,
which were adopted :
1st. That this convention renews its
previous expressions of deep interest
in this important work.
2d. That Col Walton, the agent .of
the board of trustees of Wilberforce
School, or some other person or per
sons whom the bishops may appoint,
be directed to proceed at the earliest
practicable moment to collect the
funds.
3d. That the agent is heartily com
mended to the members of the church,
and that their prayers and alms are
urgently solicited in this great work of
Christian education.
On motion of Col Wm L DeRosset
the secretary was instructed to have
the proceedings of the adjourned meet
ing of the sixty-first convention, held at
Raleigh, September 12, 1877, and the
proceedings of this convention printed
in one volume, in number of copies
corresponding to the number of cop
ies of the treasurer's report now on
hand.
Rev Dr Buxton moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed to prepare
and publish a new edition of the con
stitution and canons of this diocese,
consisting of 1,200 copies. Carried.
Rev Drs Watson and Huske and the
Rev J Worrall Lamour were appointed
as the committee.
Hon W H Battle moved that after
the reading of the journal and the usu
al religious exercises the convention
should adjourn.
The minutes of the day were read
and approved.
After the singing of the "Gloria in
Excelsis' Bishop Atkinson pronounc
ed the benediction, and the sixty
second annual convention adjourned
sine die.
