The gale of wind last Tuesday done a
fine thing for John Mcclellan, or his pork
ers. He had two sows, with litter OF
pigs each; and during the gale all took
shelter behind an old root that had been
torn up by some former wind. After they
had got snugly ensconsed, an extra gust
tipped the root back, trapping the lot, save
one, which got out nearly dead. They
never more shall root.

\ council of pastors and delegates OF
neighboring churches convened with the
Congregational church at Lowell on Tues

him, if approved, in the Pastorate of the
same church. The council was organized
by the election Of Rev. VIM. a. Robinson
Moderator, and Rev. Geo. H. Bailey Scribe
1t appearing that the ill health of Mr.
Smith, which it is hoped temporary rest
from speaking and from the labors of a
pastorate will soon restore was the only
reason for terminating his very harmOni-
Gus and successful pastorate, the council
could only acquiesce in the decision which
his love for his church and people had al
ready made. They accordingly advised
his dismission, embodying in their result
Of council a full testimonial to the manly
and christian character Of the retiring pas
tor, and warm recommendation of hin
to the churches as an able and successful
minister of Christ.
After a thorough and well sustained ex
animation Of Mr.. Phelps, the council pro
ceeded to ordaln and install him. The
following is the order of services: anthem
by the choir; invocation by Rev. d. Good
hue; reading Scriptures by Rev. F. w
Dickinson prayer by Rev. Mr.. Hovey

ship by Rev. A. W. Wild; hymn; address
to people by Rev. +. Wheelock of Cam
bridge; closing prayer by Rev. j. P. DE
merritt; anthem; benediction by pastor
The gale of Tuesday interfered not
little with the numbers in attendance upol
the sessions of the council, and upon tn
ordination services, but deep and solemn
interest was manifest throughout the day
and the mingled sadness and joy of the Oc
casion will no doubt long be remembers
by those present.
