The Right Reverend Bishop, who, by his kindness and affability everywhere gains not only the reverence of his own people, but also the love and esteem of all, has secured lots in Weldon, Tar- boro, and Goldsboro, on which he in tends to erect churches. Liberal sub scriptions have been received for the purpose, and the Bishop expects to be able to dedicate the churches in the above places before the end of this year.
