The annual "Pumpkin Plain" pic
mic occurred on Wednesday Of this
week, when about IS of the good
people of that locality met in the
grove at the foot of Fairlee Pond
By 10 o'clock the party was nearly
ali upon the grounds. Croqut, fish
ing, boating, swinging, etc., anus,
ed the younger, as we'll as some of
the older, portion of the party till
about noon, when the party was
summoned by the sounding OF
gongs and vigorous shouting of some
strong-lunged giant to partake Of
the good things which had been
conveyed in sundry baskets, boxes,
pals, ETC., to the grove, and tempt
ingly spread out on long table on
the grounds. The prompt response
to the call, and the rapid manner in
which the contents of the table dis
appeared demonstrated the good
health and spirits of the company.
The afternoon passed rapidly away,
the company being entertained by
pencil pictures rapidly executed by
a lady artist present, feats of walk
ing blindfolded, which was illustrat
ed to the party by one of our state
legislators, resting for the moment
from the cares of state and business,
gymnastics by some of the older
and stouter members of the party.

A CHURCH CHANGING ITS DENoMINA=
T4oN.-The Grace Presbyterian church
at Lewis avenue and Monroe street,
Brooklyn, which for some time has been
the scene of much internal trouble, has
voted to sever its connection with the
Brooklyn Presbytery, and to adopt the
Congregational form of government
Its first trouble was caused by the oppo-
sition of the trustees to the wealthy and
aged minister who preached there free
Of charge, and who was favored by the
congregation. This was settled by the
resignation of the minister. The Rev.
James L. Hall, Methodist minister,
who was unwilling to accept the APP
pointment made by his bishop, was then
called to the pulpit, but the Presbytery
refused to admit him until the sentence
of suspension from his clerical Office i'm
posed because of his disobedience to the
bishop was removed. The church mem
bers became displeased at this, and yo-
ted to io;;H the congregational denomi-
nations A council is to be called to re-
ceiye and install the new pastor. " Y.
