residence here more than one year ago and
was severely injured and this probably
hurried his death some little. While VIC
were writing for the Examiner we pub

this old veteran. but we have, in the year
or more that has passed, forgotten most of
it's substance. Up to one year ago Mr..
Young was often seen on the street walk

or crutch, but we have not seen him since
the accident above referred to.

Inthe Churches Yesterday.
Rev. F. W. Staley preached his last SER
mon rs pastor of the f. E. Lutheran
church, last evening, at the meeting place
on North Second street, between Locust
and Walnut streets, to 4 congregation
which was SO large that it could not all be
seated, but which remained in the church
until the services were ended. even though
standing room could hardly be held. The
sermon was generally considered to have
been an excellent one and an aptly chosen
enc for this, the pastor last appearance
in the pulpit he has so faithfully filled dur
ing the past five Or more years, and before
the congregation which by his efforts has
been SO greatly increased in point of
numbers since he has been appointed
to its charge. Rev. Mr.. Staley has receiv-
ed a call to go to Martins Greek, North
ampton county-six miles above Easton,
along the Delaware river-at i remuncra-
tive salary. He will leave here on
next, spend Sunday with his
parents at Barren Hill near Philadelphia,
and OIL Monday 60 to lis new charge where
a tiattcring reception awaits him. We are
informed that a letter received here states
that the congregation 1T Martin Creek
were never SO unanimous on any man -
they were On Mr.. Stalcy. Columbia WAS
the first charge to which Mr.. Staley has
been appointed. He has been here five
years and in that time has added to the
church roster 1875 names-14O of them be-
ing within the last year. His services
have been largely attended, ami as 4 man
he has earned the respect and esteem of all
the really good men with whom he has had
or with whom he has been in
any way associated. His departure from
this place will create void which will not
easily be filled and We have heard many
regrets expressed that he has accepted the
call which separated him from this church.
But as Mr.. Stalcy gains all and loses moth
ing by leaving here we can do nothing but
hope for his continued success.
In beginning the third year of his NJ. E.
pastorate yesterday, Rev. H. Wheeler
preached on this text: ''Bchold, a third
third time will come unto you but 1
will not he burdensome unto you, for l
seek not yours, but YOU"
