Rev. H. COOPER, ofthe Presbyte-
rian Church, of this place, rendered
his resIgnation as Pastor of said
Church on last Sabbath. Rev. Coop
er has been at the head OF this
Church for q little over one year,
and By his zeal, energy and consis-
tent course has put it in a growing,
fourishing condition ; and all who
desire the advancement of Church
interests IN our midst cannot but
regret that he contemplates going
elsewhere. We are unacquaiutej
with Mr.. Cooper's reasons for desi-
ring TO terminate bis relations here,
and consequently cannot speak of
this matter advisedly ; but we will
say that we hope he will reconsider
the matter and conclude to labor
amongst Us yet awhile. We know
thst the members of the Church
look upon his contemplated going
with great regret, and we hope and
feel that they will use every en-.
deavor 10 prevail upon him to
change his determination.
