pointed to be held at Paterson In the month Of October

The Rev. Mr.. Buckley Of Paterson was elected .
member of the Association.
The case of the Eastern Congregational Church in
New-YoIk came up for consideration, and was made
| the subject Of quite lengthy conversation. paid
advertisement bad been published in The irdependene,
certifying that the Rev Mr. Aldrich bad been pastor
of that church. and had been the OF doing great
good among its members.
The Reys. DIR. j. p THOMPSON, DIR. Burlington,
Mr. Joceyn, Tompkins, Bartlett, had been appointed
delegates to Council which was convened for the
purpose of examining Mr.. Aldrich with view To
installations but for reasons not reported 10 the Asso-
citation they-the members of the Council-unanimous-
ly declined to proceed to installation.

citation that the public should be apprsed of the fact
that Mr. Aldich never mad been installed pastor OF
the Eastern Congregational Church. at least in its Ca
pacity az related to that Association but that the
church continued to hire him as their stated supply,
notwithstanding the Councils objections to installing
him.
The Eastern Congregational Church had been tho
frequent recipient of ard from the other churches. In
this way but short time slnee they received 4OOO,
s. 600 of which the trustees of that church had en-
hausted in very short time in alterations ar9 repairs

on the eve of dissolution.

| recognition of him woald be avoided, except as Incl
dental 10 the case.

pastor of the Eastern Congregational Church, to pre-
pare and publish such statement relative 10 their
