 The Financial Work and Calls Upon the Treasury.
 The annual meeting of the New Haven archdeaconry, the missionary organization of the Episcopal Church of New Haven county, was held yesterday at the parish building of Trinity church, Rev. Dr. Olmstead of Bran ford presiding, Rev. E. s. Lines of this city secretary, and with thirty clerical and lay delegates present. Balance on hand at be- ginning of year $141.79. Received during year $2, 4s3.29, making total receipts $2.- 625.OS. There was paid out $2, 175.79, leav- ing balance now of $449.29. Rev. E. s. Lines was reelected secretary unanimously.
 The standing committee of two clergymen and two laymen was elected as follows Rev. Dr. Harwood of New Haven, Rev. Dr. De- shon of Meriden, George D. Gower of New Haven, John C.. Booth of Waterbury. The secretary read communication which showed that the New Haven archdeaconry was asked to give to the general treasury of the Diocesan Missionary Society $2,3OO this year and was allowed to spend $1, ,OOO; mak- ing an additional sum demanded over pre- vious years of $2OO. The sentiment of the meeting was that New Haven was doing the best now of any similar organization. It ap- peared that New Haven was asked to give the additional $20O because this archdeaconry had 8 surplus. Mir. John B. Robertson, however, threw the weight of his opinion in favor of paying it, and after some further object1ng, as it was thought rather steep demand, crisis came with vote first to de- l cline to pay the usual $1, 100 and also to de- fer paying the $2OO for the present. This sturdy resistance brought up several mem- bers, who counselled peace and after a live ly and interesting debate, motion of Judge Hollister, the vote reconsidered and the matter was referred to the standing committee
 Next came up the matter of appropriating money to the feeble parishes in the county or archdeaconry. It was voted to give Grace church of Hamden $2OO, St. Lukes of New Haven $15O, Zion of North Branford $75, St. Johns of North Guilford $75, Rev. Mr. Pot ter at Madison $50, and St. Johns of Yales- vile $25O. These appropriations were re- commended at a meeting of the standing committee last week. In addition Christ church of East Haven, St. Andrews of North  ford, St. James of Westville, Christ church of Quaker's Farms, and others, were heard from after the meeting of the standing com mittee, asking mission help. Their petitions were referred to the committee with power to act. It was stated that if aid is given St. Andrews church of Northford, Rev. Clayton Eddy, who has been preaching there the past few Sundays, will come down from Hartford and settle there.
 The sum of $2 600 was voted as the appor- tionment of the several parishes in the arch deaconry, as against $2, ,547 last year. Of the New Haven churches Trinity is apportioned $500, St. Pauls $25O, St. Thomas $2OO, Christ $6O, St. Johns $50, the Ascension $40, Grace $2O and St. Luke's $5. The sums are about the same as last year, except that St. Paul's is increased $50:
 Dr. Olmstead was nominated for arch-de con. The bishop appoints the archdeacon for four years in accordance with the nomi- nation of the archdeaconry.
 This morning at 1O:3O the Rev. Mir. Pot ter's church at Clinton will be consecrated, the church being free from debt. The audi ence were invited to attend.
