q. lngles Chaplin, who for the past year has
been one of the assistant ministers at st.
Luke's Church, has dissolved that connection
and is about to leave Portland. Mr.. G. has
been a very Industrious and efficient aid to
Bishop Nicely, and is much beloved by the peo-
pie OF the parish, who part from him with deep
regret. The wardens and vestry have united
in very handsome testimonial to Mr. Chaplin
expressive of their appreciation of his labors
among them. We understand that Mr. Chap
in has received several Invitations to assume
pastoral relations at different places, but he
has not yet accepted any of them. Whatever
parish secures his services will get an able and
faithful pastor

ern states and Sacramento.
1t is completed. fully equipped, and in successful
operation, and Its earnings in October the first full
month, amounted to $3.50 900 in coin. The net
earnings will, by moderate estimate, amount to
$500 900 per annum, in coin, while the interest on

The value of the property andi franchises is not
less than Va SIS

The near approach of the time when the United
States can probably fund the greater portion OF Its
Six per cent. debit is naturally causing inquiry for
other forms of investment, which will afford salts
actory security with the same rate Of interest.

vantage over all other securities based upon merely
