THE PROCEEDINGS. The delegates met yesterday morning at 9 o'clock in Front Street M. E. Church.

Bishop Holland Nimmon McTyeire, who presides at the present session of the North Carolina Conference, was, as we learn from the Raleigh Christian Advocate, born in the year 1824. He joined the Church in 1837, was educated at Randolph Macon College, where he was licensed to preach in 1844. In 1845, he joined the Virginia Conference, and in 1846 was transferred to Mobile, Ala bama, and took charge of the church of which Dr. T. O. Summers had been pastor, the latter having been elected editor of the Nashville Advocate. In 1848 he was trans ferred to the Louisiana Conference and was in Charge of a church in New Orleans until 1854, when he was made editor of the New Orleans Advocate. He afterwards returned to the Alabama Conference and was sta tioned in Montgomery, when he was elected Bishop, which was at the General Confer ence held in New Orleans in 1866. He re sides in Nashville, Tennessee, is distin guished for his thorough knowledge of the history, laws and usages of the Church, and is an able and effective preacher.' He is the author of the work entitled "The Man ual of the Discipline of the M. E. Church, South, (a book, by the way, which should be in ihe hands of every Methodist espe cially every Methodist minister). It is said that it was through Bishop McTyeire's influ ence that Mr. Vanderbilt was induced to make his munificent donation to the Central (now called the Vanderbilt) University, a donation which has given life and prosperity to that institution. A Furious Oualaught. Tuesday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, a white man by the name of -Thompson, hailing from the rural districts, and who had imbibed a superabundant quantity of stimulants, went to the house of James A. Lowrey, colored, on Campbell street, near Boney Bridge, and attempted to make a forcible entrance thereto, tearing down a portion of the fence and indulging in other demonstrations of a decidedly hostile and threatening character. The wife of the proprietor of the .house was fearfully frightened and gave vent to her feelings in a series of screams, and in the meantime some one was dispatched for her husband, who, with officer McMillan, of the police force, who happened in that vicinity, were ; promptly on the spot and the offender against the peace and dignity of the neigh borhoodwas arrested and taken to the Guard House. The only explanation we can arrive at to account for this furious onslaught is that our country friend may have taken Lowrey (who is really an inoffensive coachmaker and prominent man of his race) to be the notorious Henry Berry, and imagined that his dwelling was the castle of the Lowreys the once celebrated band of desperadoes whose deeds of violence and bloodshed in the now quiet and peaceful precincts of Robeson county created so much terror and gave them such an unenviable reputa tion throughout the country. Taking this charitable, though possibly mistaken view of the case, we suggest that our rural friend be dealt with, gently for this once. Industrial Fair Association Addi tional Premiums.

Joseph W. Shackford, formerly of Virginia, but more recently. pastor of the church in War renton, N. C, and Miss Cora Kingsbury of Oxford, eldest daughter of T. B. Kings bury, Esq.
