The conference met agreeable to previous appointment, and was called to order by Elder Crippin. Elder John W. Crippin was appointed President, and George Hales Clerk. The conference was opened by singing and prayer by Elder Abraham Wright. Present-three seventies, two elders, one priest, and two teachers. The President then laid before them the object of the conference. Elder Elijah Able then preferred a charge against Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Evans, and Miss Jane Roberts, for absenting themselves from the meeting of this branch, and speaking disrespectfully of the heads of the church. It was then moved and seconded that they be expelled from the church, which was done by a unanimous vote. The branch numbers thirty-two members, all in good standing. There has been four baptised [baptized] since last conference. It is with pleasure we inform our brethren and friends that there is more union existing in this branch than there has been for the last three years, for which we give God the glory. Motioned and carried, that the minutes of this conference be sent to the editor of the "Times and Seasons" for publication. The conference then adjourned sine die. JOHN W. CRIPPIN, Pres. GEORGE HALES, Clerk.
