PASTORAL CALL AccEpTED.-Rey. Henry
Mcdonald, of Kentucky, has accepted the
call to the pastorate Of the Second Baptist
church of this city. Mr.. Mcdonald is q
native of Ireland; has resided In Kentucky
about twenty years, or from early manhood,
where he has occupied positions OF promi-
nence In his denomination, being at the
present time Professor OF Moral Philosophy
in Georgetown College and pastor Of the
Baptist church in Georgetown. He. was
commended to the Second Baptist church
by leading ministers of that denomination
in the South and West, all OF whom repre-
sented him to be an able preacher, popular
pastor, and accomplished Christian gentle
man. Among others, Rev. John A. Broadus,
D. D., speaks of him as "higbly-attractive
and impressive preacher and Irish orator"
Rev. w. r.. Whitsett, ID, professor in
the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,
says: 81 believe am not acquainted with
any person whom I should recommend in
preference to him. Rev. DR.. Boyce, of
Louisville, says: "He has fine reputation
in Kentucky as preacher, and especially
az pastor" Rev. DR.. Ryland, formerly
OF Richmond, says OF him: "He is one Of
the most popular and useful ministers In
Kentucky" Professor Noah E. Dayis, of
the University OF Virginia, and Rev. j. A.
Chambliss, D. D., forper pastor Of the
Second church, both OF whom have long
known Mr.. Mcdonald, are even more ern-t
phatic in their endorsation OF him. Rev.
Drs. Tupper, Dickinson, Curry, Hatcher,
and others OF the Baptist ministry Of this
city, are warm in their praise OF him as pas
tor and preacher. It is evident that the
church and congregation are to be congrat-
ulated on securing the services of this emf
nent divine and Christian scholar.
Mr.. Mcdonald is expected to enter upon
his new pastoral duties in few weeks. In
the mean time Rev. j. L. N. Curry, D.,
will continue to preach to the large crowds
which attend his ministry in this church.

SUIT AGAINST THE ST. LOUIS LIFE ~
sURANCE COMPANY BY VIRGINIA Policy
HOLDERs.-On Saturday suit was insti-
tuted in the Circuit Court of the city of
Richmond by George W. Jameson and
Others, in behalf of themselves and all other
creditors Of like class who may choose to
make themselves parties to the suit and bear
their ratable proportion Of the costs, against
the St. Louis Life Insurance Company, the
Columbia Life Insurance Company, and R..
M. T. Hunter, State Treasurer. The gene
raj object Of this suit is to recover the pre-
miums heretofore paid to said companies by
Virginia policy-holders, or the equitable
value Of their policies, and to subject to the
payment of their demands the bonds and
securities deposited by said companies with
the Treasurer Of Virginia, on the ground
that said companies are no longer able to
carry out their insurance contracts. The
St. Louis Life Insurance Company became
consolidated or incorporated with the Co.
lumbia Life Insurance Company, and the
latter company is now insolvent, and pro-
ceedings have been recently commenced in
St. Louis for the appointment OF receiver.
The plaintiffs in the suit instituted by the
Virginia poliey-holders are represented by
their counsel, Kent & Neale, OF Washing
ton, and John Hunter, Jr., OF this city.
