The Church in Park Street, Boston. have
unanimously voted call to Mr.. Edward
Beecher, late of this town, and son Of Rev.
DIR. Beecher. to become their pastor. sEhfs
is highly fattering compliment to the piety
and talents of Mr.. BeecheF, as it calls him to
the spiritual care of one of the most respecta-
bic churches and societies in our country. 1t
is interesting, as it places him in the immedi-
ate vicinity of his reverend father; and pre-
sents to the world the spectacle of father
and son, ably and zealously defending the
truth in a place where Error has for a long
time had her throne. We confidently hope
that Mr.. B. will accept the call, and that the
society for many years will find in him all
they could ask or wish in pastor.

Rochester now stands contained but two or
three ordinary houses,--in 1892 it contained
Goa buildings, many of them of the largest

Want Of good Husbandry.--At the Cattle
Show at Concord, IN. H.) premiums were
awarded for the best Farms. In relation to
one of them the viewing Committee, in their
report, made the following remars:-
",This farm appears to be cultivated with
great care and much good Judgment in agri-
culture but the Committee are of opinion,
that the owner is in fault in one essential par
tieular; and they hope that indirect allusiOn
! to it will be sufficient for him to correct the
error. There is no commodity on a farm SO
useful and SO pleasing to the demonstrating
in this life, ON which he can so safely rest his
hopes of comfort in future years, as COM
