The Ecclesiastical Council which met
Tuesday in this city at the call OF the First
Church and its Pastor, to advise IN regard
TO the dissolution of the pastoral relation,
consisted of representatives from the church
es of Hinesburgh, WIlliston, Charlotte,
Winooski, the College Street Church OF tins
city, and the Rev. james Buckham. The
Rev. c. E. FERN was chosen Moderator, and
Rev. George B. Stafford, Scribe.
After listening to the letter OF resignation
and the records OF the action taken IN the
PREMISES by the Church and Society and the
further statements of the pastor and the re-
spectiye committees, the Council, after de-
liberation, unanimously adopted tie follow
ing resolutions which were reported to the
Church in the afternoon
Resolrei, That this Council deem the dissolu-
ton of the pastoral relation between the Rev. T.
Mix and the First Church in Burlington expedi-
ent, and by virtue Of authority given IN the
letters con, ening the Council declare that reia-
ton dissolved upon the first Sabbath IN Sept.
next.
That we lament the necessity for terminating
q pastoSate which for five years has been pro
ductive Of great good, which has been character
lied by a rare degree Of confidence and affection
between pastor and people. and which yet never
seemed SO full of promise as a. the present time;
and that we regard the removal of our brother
from his present field of labor as severe allie
ton to the other churches Of this region, as well
as TO that which has claimed the chief part Of
his service
That while We acquiesoe in this remoya
as q necessity only in view Of the pastor
conviction that it viii conduce to frmer bodily
health. and so to more prolonged and successful
labor, we are glad to believe that service which
We car IL spare may be well bestowed upon an
other field, and that thus 10 loss Will occur to
the cause of our common Lord.
That We commend the spirit in which
the church and society consent TO sa-
crifce which their expressions Of attachment to
the pastor show to he very great, and hope that
they may be speedily rewarded in the gift Of
smother pastor who, by bis fidelity, shall merit
and wln their confidence snd love
That through our personal aequaint-
snce with the Rev. Eldndge Mix, and our
knowledge Of his work while among US, We
Judge him to be man whom God has counted
faithful. putting him into the ministry and do
therefore cordially commend him TO the churches
Of Christ, as one worthy to be received in the
name of the Lord.

The storm Of last week was exceedingly
severe along the Atlantic Coast as far south
as Savannah. aud extended some distance IN
land. At Washington there has been no
such storm for six or seven years many
streets were flooded, and tenants OF base
nents drowned out to be rescued in boats.
At Philadelphia the rain lasted 20 hours
and the damage by food is estimated at
500, 600. Much damage was caused and
DELAY of railroad trains by the washing out
of culyerts and flooding Of tracks, in many
places in New jersey, Maryland, New York
New Hampshire, and Virginia.
At Hartford, Connecticut, 50 much water
fell during the same time but once before in
three years. At Springfield, Mass, the
amount registered was 800 inches, almost as
much as the usual amount for the whole
month nearly twice the average amount Tor
August has fallen this year up TO the 10th
inst. At AlblnY on Thursday morning after
an exceedingly severe shower there were
found on the ground masses of selatlnous
matter containing minute granules. Such
manifestations are not untrcquent, ard
microscopic Investigations have revealed
them to be either portions Of various miner
ais or shells of infusOria, or parts OF plants
and insects carried into the atmosphere by
the winds. But We think 1t is unusual to
witness such " rain so far away from the
tropics.
The average yearly amount Of rain in the
Northeastern States is forty inches, in The
Southeastern more than fifty, and in some of
the Southeastern not a tenth part OF this
amount. But occasionally this average
quantity is disturbed, and one part OF the
country receives portion of the share Of
another, for reasons we are not always able
