HALLS PARISH.
In addition to the immense congregation,
there arc three mission stations where
preaching services and also Sabbath schools
are maintained. The regular services at
the church are at II o'clock IN the morn
ing and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The
singing is congregational, and IS led by a
precentor, supported by fine organ. Hall
breaches from 40 to so minutes, which
would be tedious, were ii not enlivcned by
the combined power of talent and study.
The house, large as it may be, is well filed,
except in summer. The pews have been
sold and deeds given, after the old fash
ion, the highest price being 81 600, at which
rate large number was disposed of. In
This way the immense cost of the building
was betrayed. Very eligible pews, how
ever, were sold at 500 On all these sales
is levied an annual tax of 10 per cent,
which furnishes salary and meets other ex-
penses. The former is $40 900 in gold, in
addition 10 parsonage, which is one of the
best houses of the kind. Pastor Hall has a
fine family. Mrs. Hall is woman Of dig
nifty, and adds graces of Dublin society to
those of New York Hall may now be con-
sidered the most popular preacher in this
city--at least he draws the largest attend
ance. This is done without any sensational
practice, and, therefore, may be considered
an illustration of the power OF truth, en-
forced by learning and talent. This is his
tenth year in this city. He came unher-
aided and unknown, and has during this
period reached an unusual distinction. 1t
has been Mr.. Halls custom to spend his
vacations in visiting the far west, but the
death of his mother has led him to voy-
age to Ireland, whence he is soon expected
to return.
OUT OF TOWN.
Everybody that has any claims to ''re-
spectability" is now supposed to be out of
town. Those who cannot go, close up
fronts and remain in seclusion. This is
Hamlet's idea of assuming a virtue eff you
have it not" The Astor libr airy is closed,
and so is the Historical society; but the
Mercantile remains open. During the heat
cd term, in which there was 90 much suf-
fering, the Astor library was one of the
most delightful resorts, for its massive
walls and the lofty ceiling abated the ex-
cessve heat. For this reason its closing
was much regretted by its beneficiaries-a
large portion of whom are members of the
press. They are centennially mining in
those ancient volumes for facts, which
come up in fresh shape for new readers.
The Mercantile library has the best news
paper reading room in the city, while the
society library, which once was highly pop
ular, is now in decline and will soon be
extinguished. The August apathy is gen.
orally apparent. Trade languishes; stocks
decline, and 20 do watermelons. Summer
resorts are canvassed eagerly by those who
never eau reach them save in imagination.
How many thousands hear Of Newport and
Saratoga, and even Long Branch, but never
see these abodes of bliss? Thousands, in
deed, never get as fai as Reckaway.
WATERING PLACE NOTES.
Speaking of Newport, our Ex-Governor
| Morgan, having rented his villa at that
place, has been visiting Saratoga Springs.
| The ex-governor son, who bears the same
name, is practicing medicine and cheer
fully attends the poor with gratuitous ser
vice. He has the prettiest office 10 b,
found in the city, that is in the medica
line, and the walls are literally adorned will
beautiful palntings. This shows that he II
a man Of taste. President Orion of Thu
Western Union is also at Saratoga with his
family. Edward Matthews the noted land
lord of Broad street, is at West Point
James Lenox and the BENEFITS ale at New
port, and coach just imported from Eng
land is one of the new fancies of the pro
pr;etor of the Herald. Polo is an attractiv,
novelty at that famous watering place. Re
ports now reach this city that hotels a
summer resorts have concluded to reduce
their prices, and it is advertised that tirs
class entertainment may be had for So {
cay during August, and one-third less il
September. Had this been known two
months ago, 1t would have led many of ou
voluntary prisoners" to an effort to ge
of town in reality. There are many wht
could spaIe 500 for an excursion, VIII
would not expend double thot amount, ant
calculations have been made closer thi
season than in 90 years. AS it il great mum
bers are living in privacy, and only ventur
ing out at sight. You would he surprised
to see how adroitly this piece of Gnesse cal
be managed.
THE CENTENNIAL.
This has no doubt been felt as sever
rival to other resorts. Watering places
may be visited at subsequent seasons, bu
to miss the centenniak-is loss which cal
never be retrieved. ~ ,, read with grea
interest the Times recent editorial CORES
pendence upon this grand theme, which ne
doubt will give fresh impulse TO many who
are hating between economy and taste
To cultivated mind q month spent at The
centennial is in itself an education. Thii
city has not yet demonstrated in this di
rection, but when the cool season sets il
general movement will be seen, and the ex
ample of the Times centennial correspond
ent will then be followed by
