"-'r,- The Spring term ' of Wilmington Presbytery, which has been in session with the First church, of this city, since Tuesday evening, completed its work and adjourned sine die at 1:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The vari ous reports submitted during the ses sion showed a. -very : healthy condition Off affair aa&lericl and ,lay- dele gates, ; who were present m rather larger numbers than usual, -return to their homes much encouraged. for the future. . The morning session yesterday, was devoted largely to consideration of Christian Education." Reports from the academies under the care of Pres bytery were very gratifying and show ed a splendid work accomplished du ring the past fiscal year. The gifts of Presbytery to all bene volent causes during the year showed a marked increase in all items save fn the instance of one cause to which the contributions the year before were un usually heavy. Under the discussion of Home Missions some very interest ing reports were made.' Plans are fn prospect for some' .new churches and vhe successful grouping of others now under care of t Presbytery. " All the churches ; within the. bounds of Pres bytery are now supplied with pastors and the congregations are alive to the responsibilities of organization. -.,t Rev. R..M. -Mann, of Clinton, with Rev. J. M. Wells.

Presbytery will meet In Fall session October 11th, at Goshen Grove church; at Calypso, N. C. Last night-; Presbytery ; heard with great interest an encouraging address from Rev. A. S- Caldwell, field agentJ for Barium Springs Orphanage, at Ba rium Springs, N. C. Rev. Mr. Caldwell spoke with great enthusiasm , of the work "at the orphanage and the out look ' for increasing;: .usefulness In the f uture.TA'generous friend al the cause has ' recentlyoff ered to build - another $5,000 cottage to care for 50 children at the orphanage, provided Presbyter ians will arrange for the support of the children and he is now engaged in visiting different parts of the State se curing the pledges ot persons to care for one or more of the children thus provided for in the proposed new build ing. Rev. Mr. Caldwell said that he had met with much encouragement in the effort and hoped very soon to re port.hat the conditions as to the gift -of the building have been complied wtth" rj:";; - '; An interesting coincidence in connec tion with the attendance upon the ses sion of Presbytery- was remarked upon yesterday. Four enthusiastic Presby terians on the "floor of Presbytery yes: terday f morning, three of thenv dele gates, were all Confederate veterans and commissioned officers in the same command during the war betwen the States and "fought all the way through that conflict They were Capt J. C, Mc Millan, Lieut. J. O. Carr, of Rock Fish; Lieut 8. B. Newton, of ML Zion, and W. J. Boney, of Wallace. , Those gen tlemen were all officers of the -30th Reeiment North Carolina troops, C. B. A and fought g? Ua n ly forjthei' tojn- try. -Their command -was in the seven days fighting around Richmond-, and immediately r thereafter went ; under command of Jackson, fightings through the war. They were of Cox's Brigade which made a -charge even after the surrender of Lee. It was a singular coincidence that 40 years ; after those times which "tried men's souls," four officers of the same command, all Pres byterians and actively engaged, shovfld meet again. l.
