Those who have an opportunity of knowing say this is the best jury that ever sat in this county, comprising many of the best known and most intelligent men in the counties mentioned. Bishop Pierce. '.".: The resolution of sympathy with Bishop Pierce in his affliction, passed.: during the closing hours of the conl'er rence, had more significance than many supposed. The distinguished prelate is in very bad health, and was not really in condition to preside over the body at any time during its session, though he was present at each meeting except on the last day, when his place was filled by Dr. Closs. He is now at the resi dence of Mr. John W. Wadsworth, and will probably remain in the city for some time, being unable to travel. For several years he has been afflicted jwith an affection of the throat, which'' ren ders breathing very difficult, and at times painful, and this, added to gene ral debility, superinduced by a life of arduous and incessant mental labor, causes an unusual degree of solicitude among many warm Iriends in the con ference. Bishop Pierce is now in his G8th year, and has long been regarded as one of the leadiiag spirits in his de nomination, as well as one of the most eloquent and impressive speakers in the Southern Church. The sermon de livered by him on the occasion of the withdrawal of the Southern branch of the Church from the Northern Metho dists, gave him a national reputation one which he has not failed to main tain in after years when the occasion demanded the full exercise of his pow ers. . . Tournament, matt!) Ball Shooting: and Coronation Ball. The town of Statesville is going to spread her-wings over a gr ami toiuna ment, to-morrow, and invites the people of aU'tne' surrounding to w'hs And coun try to come up and consider themselves her brood, so to speak. Some of the particulars as to the management and manner of the modem version of an antique institution has just reached us, and is willingly laid before the public. The preparations have been quite ex tensive and the number of knights who will enter, the list is large. The follow ing persons are officially connected with the affair : Marshals A. C. Gunter, chief; Col. W. A. Eliason, Capt. H. C. Cowles, J. F. Van Pelt. . . . Judges-Col. W. S. Miller, Capt. T. A. Price, Capt. W. J. Coite, Cnpt. W. H. II. Gregory. The orator of the occasion is Mr. B. F. Long, a promising young lawyer of Statesville, who addresses' tne assem bled knights at 12:30. The programme further announces that the riding will begin at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and that at 8 p. m: the coronation ball will open at the opera hall, during the pro gress of which refreshments will be served by the proprietor of the Carolina HoteL: ; y Immediately preceding the tourna ment, that is to say, at 11 a. mi., there will be a glassrball shootings the first prize to be a breech-Joading bird gun ; other prizes ; to . be decided upon here after. Entries may be made up to the hour, the shooting commences. Arrangements have been made with the railroads by which persons who wish to go from Charlotte and other points along the road can do so at the rate of one fare for the round trip, or about $2:30. We understand that seve ral of our sportsmen, and perhaps'many oiners, wm uitena, , , The Closing Hour of the Conference, It was 10 o'clock night before last when Rev. Dr. Closs, the father of the conference, invoked the divine blessing upon the ministers before parting, and there had been a rush of business dur ing the last day of the session, as there always is. In consequence of these facts the report of the peculiarly solemn and interesting services just before ad journment was necessarily abridged. The church wras crowded, ancLthe anxi ety which the ministers felt - to know where ana with whom ' tneir. tots were to be castf was imparted in a" measure to the vast assemblage, for it was known that in a few minutes the presiding el ders would announce the .appointments tor the next conierence year, ; it is a singular . ireaK . oi numan nature mat when we are most anxious we are ften-i gayest, but the gayety is usually of sucha nervous anounnaturaiiy exuDerant cnar acter that it is as easily detected as the inexpressive laugh of embarrassment. So the proceedings or tne evening ses sion: immediately before-the announce ments,, were marked by an apparent- playfulness, which the portion, or the congregation lesS sensible to the influen ces, of the , surrounding circumstancs, were somewhat at a loss to understand. Resolutions of. thanks,' one after anoth er, and in some instances several sets of resolutions to each elass, were passed to the citizens, the ladies, the reporters, the ushers, and finally the cooks, until at last a rather - impudent newspaper man had the temerity ;to suggest to a few surrounding delegates the proprie ty of a resolution " declaring that all chickens whieh,,1had suffered death dur ing the week be pronounced martyrs to a good cause; but for some reason the resolution was. not put to the body. There was no lack Of solemnity, how ever, when Rev.' Dr. Closs entered the pulpitandasked Dr. Burkhead to make the closing prayer, and as the minister craved for peace and harmony in the A . " - .
