We have had an opportunity of wit

performed by Dr. E. C. Robinson, of
Norfolk, and can readily testify to the a
bility and fidelity with which they were
executed. We have also heard others
speak highly of Dr. Robinson skill, care
and attention, in his operations on the

down our subject within the range of our
prosing capacity. At our entrance into
hp rnnm the instructors, and those who
were to enchant the audience with their
sweet melodies, had taken their positions
upon the stage, which was erected at one
end of the room. Such a display of beau
ty of person and intellect of face arc not
often seen in a country village. The
room was tastefully decorated with
wreathes exquisitely wrought with fairy
hands, and well lighted; for such a room
with such a crowd could never be dark,
or if so, but

to eyes not accustomed to such splcndcd
scenes. The hall was soon filled to over
flowing, and the exercises commenced
with a beautiful duett by two little MUses
This not only sent a thrill of pleasure
through our soul, but it extended down to
our heels, for Clio and Terpsichore are in
timate companions, A succession of du
etts and songs then came on, which kept
the attention of the audience enchained
for two or three hours
Time nor space will not permit that
we should go into a description "en de

shall allude to some of those which struck
our fancy most. The first of these were
"Charming May," and "Touch again

Bro. Gorman: Having scon no recent
account of Edgecombe Division in your
columns, I have thought it would not be
uninteresting to yourself and readers to
team that we arc still progressing in the
good cause, in this land of stills and bran
dy. Our Division was organized on the
13'hof November, 1550, with some is
members. We now number some GO or
more, notwithstanding a number of our
members withdrew to form a new Divis
ion in the county. We have now about
100 Sons of Temperance in Edgecombe
county. The Ladies are to present us
with a splendid Bible, on the ISth of
June, when we expect to have a pleasant

We had the pleasure, Mr. Editor, of at

exercises themselves, to slate for the bene

Episcopal Contention. The Conven
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church
ofN. Carolina, assembled at St. John's
church on Wednesday last. Nothing of
interest occurred until the afternoon ses
sion of Thursday. The committee of in
vestigation appointed some 12 months
since to inquire into the ecclesiastical
course of Bishop Ives, having offered their
report, Mr. C. P. Mallctt introduced a
resolution to re commit the report to an
increased committee. This gave rise to a
very animated and spicy debate upon the
point o( order, in Which Mr. Collins, Mr.
.Ma licit, Mr. 1 laugh ton, Mr. Strange, and
Mr. Badger participated. The resolution
was withdrawn, and Mr. Mallett moved to
dispense wilh the reading of the report,
which motion was very ably debated by
the gentlemen above named, and by Mr.
lines and the Rev. Mr. Smedes. The
moiion was lost by a vote of 20 to 1 of
the clergy, and 9 to 9 of the parishes,
there not being a concurrence of both orders.
The doors Were then closed and lhe
! spectators prohibited from hearing the rc
j port read, by a vote of 32 to 30. At the
latest hoar at Which we heard from the
Convention, the doors had not been re
opened. Dr. Mason of Raleigh was in
the Chair. Fayctieville Carolinian.
0The Fayetteville Obser ver says
The attendance upon the t Convention was
much more full than has ever before, we
believe, been known in the Diocese.
This was caused by the troubles which
have occurred within the last three years
in regard to an alleged Romish tendency
in the teachings and practices of the Bish
op and some of the Clergy, chiefly or
altogether those brought here from other
States! The Bishop has made to this
Contention a full and most emphatic re-
iraction oi all those offensive doctrines
and practices, Which he attributes mainly
io violent diseases, which prostrated his
mental and physical system-
The resolutions in regard to an Assis
tant Bishop have been withdrawn, and a
satisfactory arrangement of all difficulties
has been unanimously agreed to, under
circumstances of impressive solemnity.
