TIIE SALISBURY CHURCH.
The' town' of Salisbury' 'i-s between the
settlements of the Scotch Irish and the
'Pennsylvania Dutch" or Germans. To the
east and south lav the great lodv of the
German settlers, and to the north and west
the Scotch Irish predominated.! The pop
ulation or the -town was a mixture of rhese
fivo races, interspersed with Englishmen,
Frenchmen. pure-Irish and Scotch. (Among

than O. Freeman produced testimonials of
his dismission from theprcsbyterj of Orange,
and was received as member of Presby
tery. He had come to Salisbury some time
before, for he closed a session of his school
in Salisbury early in the year, 1821, as pub
lished m the Western 'Uaboi.txiax. Dr.
Freeman remained in Salisbury till the fall
of 1826, when be renioyed to Kaleigh.
After this he labored in the bounds of
Orange Presbytery and in Virginia, for a
number of years. lie was an excellent teacher
of the classics, and a number of bur promi
nent men, as lion. Burton Craige and Dr.
JosepliW. Hall,, were prepared for College
by him. lie died in Washington, N. C, in
183o, in the 63d year of his age.
Dr. Freeman's son, Edmund B. Freeman",
was clerk of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, from 1830 to 1808, 32 ycafsT
The Uev. Jesse Rankin, a native of Guil
ford county, was invited to Salisbury as
principal of the Aeademy and supply to the
church. He came in Jauuary, 1827, and re
mained till about the close of 1830, four
years. During tie period pf his ministry
here there were twenty-seven additions to
the Church, an average of nearly seven each
year. For the first fifty years of its existence
there was an addition of 400 persons to its
commuinion, an average of eight each year.
From 1831 to 1830, the Revj Thomas Espy,
and the Rev. P. J. Sparrow, served the Salis
bury and Thyatira churches; each one year.
MrEfepy died; April 16, 1833, and his re
mains were deposited in the Lutheran grave
yard in Salisbury, where a marble slab com
memorates his lite and labors. " Mr. Sparrow
was-Called from the Salisbury church to the
Professorship of Lauguages, in Davidson
College, whither he went in 1837. He af
terwards became President of Hampden
Sidney College, nc died a few years since
near Pensacola, Florida. Irj the year, 1832,
a remarkable revival of religion occurred in
this church, junder the' preaching of the
Rev. A. I). Montgomery, by which many
were added to the church. Frni 1830 till
1843, the Rev. Stephen Frontis was pastor
of this church, and 44 were added to the
church during his ministry Mr. Frontis
died a few years ago, and sleeps in the grave
yard of Prospect church. On .the 1st of
February, 1840, the Rev. Archibald Baker,
a native of Robesen county became pastor
ot the church and continued till loou, a
period of thirteen years, and 150 communi
cants were added under his ministry. Mr.
Baker was a devout, earnesti and amiable
servant of the Lord, and his memory is still
cherished by the older members of the
church. He was stricken down while speak
ing in Centre church in his native county.
and died in the harness.
On the 3rd Sabbath of November, 1801.
the Rev. Jethro Rumple began his work as
pastor of the Snlisburv church, and contin
ucs till the present time. During the twen
ty years of his ministry there have been 240
additions to, the church.
In closing this sketch there arc two or
three facts that mav interest the reader.
The tiist is, th t fit m the beginn'ng tl is
church maintained a well conducted babath
school, in which many of the most devoted
members of the congregation were teachers.
The principal superintendents of the Sab
bath school have been, Tho3. L. Cowan, J.
J. Black wood, CoL "Samuel Lemly D. A.
Dav!s. Philip I, Sink,. Win. Murdoch, J. J.
Bruner, Samuel II. Wiley and D. McNeely.
Most of those who are now members of the
church, were once pupils in the Sabbath
school, and received their early religious
impressions in that nursery ot the church.
Another clement of success in the church
has been its earnest and faithful office-bearers,
embracing ninny f the most highly es
teemed and influential citizens of the town.
Th;? Ruling Elders have been, as fwjlows :
- Al!ert Torrence, Thomas L. Cowan, Dr.
Alex. Long, Michael Brown, Sam'l Lemly,
Philip L Sink, D. A. Davis. J. J. Bruner,
Win. Murdoch, Thos. McNctly, Dr. J. J.

pippins, russetts, greenings, and other
specimens which are urfd in Covent-gar-den.
' , Ever since the introduction into
this country of eating apples "grown in
the United States, no aative or European
specimen of the fruit ..bait been able to
compete in popular estimation with the
Newtown Pippins and Baldwins of the
United 'States. A story ; is often told in
the colauins of - Americans journala pub
lished in North Western States - that,
. i i -
some twemy or in inyj years ago, lamous
pomiculturist, who lived in the State of
Michigan, had by
raised an apple so del
he resolved to seud a
as a present to the Q
udtcious graftings
icitMis in flavor that
i -
couple pf barrels
been of England
the only European Soyereigu for whom
all American citizen!
Irish descent, entertain. , unooanded
respect. lhei two barrels arrived at
Windsor Castle, an4 their contents so
commended themselves tb the palates of
their tasters that
photograph ot herself
esty sent a
to the honest Mich
igan farmer, together with , instructions
bidding him to siippl
who are not of
her
y twenty barrels of
i
his apples annually for consumption in
Windsor Castle. The apple in question
is still known in the neighborhood of the
locality where it is raised as "the Royal
favorite, and tliat it is deserving of the
name is provexl by the fact that no State
on the eastern . bide of ' the Mississippi
grows finer apples thau M ichigan.
Hitherto the best apples raised upon the
North American continent were supposed
to come .from the Western counties of
New York State, and especially front the
Geuesso valley, from Micigan and Ohio,
and from the Canadian province of Onta
ria. ; During the last few yea re, however,
two J formidable, rivals in pomiculture
have arisen iu the Pacific States of Call
foruia and Oregou, where apples, prodig
ious in size and uncqualed in flavor, are
produced in such abundance that when
they find their way--as .will, shortly be
the case to European markets the old
brands of American apples will, in
Transatlantic phras?, "have to take a
back seat." Iu the streets adjoining
Covcnt-garden countless barrels of ap
pies, with "carefully selected Baldwins"
branded upon their heads, may be seen
auy morning by interested observers,
audi learn from the JVcfc 1'orA; Tribune
that these "Baldwins"; are grown in
Westchester county, close to the City of
New York; aid (hit vast supplies
of the fruit have been sent this winter
across the Atlantic iii barrels specially
for the English market. But the flavor
of the apples grown upon the Pacific
slope close resembles that of the pine
apple, and there is ho reason why they
should not be shipped lit a profit from
San Francisco to England, seeing that,
wheu carefully packed, they are none
the worse for being at sea for two
months. 1 C. A. S.

the Church has had few and brief periods
of vacancy, and very little serious internal
dissension. Upon the departure of one pas
ter the congregation speedily agreed upon
and secured another,' and the work thus
went on witl o it intermission.
Another characteristic of the church is
that it has always diligently fostered schools
and colleges. Its early ministers were teach
ers, and in later days it has maintained ex
cellent male and female Academies where
every child in the cougregation has free ac
cess for ten months iu the year. As a result
many of the youth have been prepared for
the higher schools and Colleges, where they
have received the benefits of a liberal edu
cation, and have been enabled to enter the
liberal professions, and grace the cultivated
circles ot society.

London, England, Dec. 27th, 1830
The exportation of apples from the
United States to Europe i- of compara
tively recent date and the time is not far
distant when the English markets wil
be flooded with an overwhelming nbun
dance of the golden fruit. The apple
shares with the orange the advantage o
bearing a long sea voyage without sus
taining any damage, and there is no rea
son why both fruits should not be sob
in the streets of European cities at au
equally cheap rate. Horticulturists! say
that the apple is not the natural produc
tion of any soil or climate, bnt that tin
infinite varieties of the fruit, sonje two
thousand innnmber, are all deduced
fromjrif maiun, or wild crab tree, which
by repented propagations and by prn

; The Penitentiary. .
Raleigh JVeir Observer. The health
of the prisoners is now quite good. Du
ring the past year the morality has been
more favorable than in tho two seasons
previous. There were in the peniten
tiary on November 1, last, 202 prisoners,
while the total number of convicts iu the
State was !)93.
In may be interesting to give some
facts in regard to the admission and dis
charge of convicts for the past two yeais.
During the year ending November, 1870,
there were received 478, recaptured 23,
discharged 283 : pardoned 32; died lOS;
killed 11; escaped C6; remanded for
another trial 1.
