Dr. BURKEHEAD, the popular pastor of the Methodist church in this city, is having the parsonage thoroughly repaired and repainted.  A new dining room, pantry, kitchen, bedroom and an office have been added; the “old bonnet” has been removed from the front and handsome porch erected in its stead, and everything around has an appearance of neatness and tidiness.  We always admired the zeal which the Methodist display in anything they undertake.  So far as we have learned Dr. BURKEHEAD is quite popular with his congregation, and is capable of doing a great deal in New Berne.
