 Rev. Gurdon ". Moves, pastor of the First Congregational church, rendered his resignation of the pastorate last Sunday. Rev. MT. Wychoff of the North church, was present. and read the communication to the people. MT. Moves has been set tied here ten years and has been very | earnest, conscientious and laborious ser want, in the duties of bis calling. His labors have been of great value to his church and congregation. It will be very | hard to fill his place.

Moves, it tshould use every effort toretain him. NAMELEss.
