Close of the Session of the New York East

 The New York East Conference closed it's annual session yesterday. It was O session marked by an unusual number of State changes.
 To the First M. E. church, New Haven, comes Charles H. Buck, former highly pop ular and eloquent pastor of the St. John street M E. church, late stationed in New Britain
 Of special interest to many was the St. John street church appointment in this city. Rev c. E. Harris, late of the First church, Bridge port, comes to this church. He has had marked and conspicuous success in Bridge port, adding largely to the church. He is very popular as an administrator also. George street M E. church, New Haven, gets Rev. William F. Corbit, an eloquent speaker, who some months ago preached in this city at the St. John street church. To Wesley chapel and the West Chapel street church, New Haven, comes Daniel A. Goodsell, secretary of the New York East Conference.
 Rev. Mr. Adams, late of the First M E. church, goes to Meriden. Rev. MT. Webster, for the past five months | at the George street church. goes either to Cheshire Watertown. His33service here has l been signally successful, sixty conversions | having taken place. and fifty added to the | church during his brief stay here He will be much missed and his departure regretted | from the ranks of our clergy. Rev. Mir Eggleston, late of this city, goes | to Bristol, and Rev. MT. Toles, late of the l City Point and Summerfield churches in this city, goes to MiddIefeld. It is probable that
 Mr. Livingston will come to Summerfeld and
 Mr. Sands to City Point. J. E. Searles, jr., returns to his East Bridgeport charge, and MT. Judd, late of | Thomaston, comes to Bridgeport. | A. H. Mead, formerly of this city, goes to | Summerfield church, West Stratford, and
 John Pilkington to Milford. Harvey E. Burnes, formerly of this city, is 1 appointed to the Birmingham church. It is probable that Mr. Kidder, of Wesleyan \ University, will come to the church in West Haven.
 l Hartford gets back MT. Thompson of the l First church. and c. S. Williams goes to the | South Park church and William H. Simonson 1 to the North church.
 George A. Hubbell is reappointed presiding 1 elder New Haven District ! Rev. George Lansing Taylor goes to Ridge field, Rev Arza Hill to South Norwalk, and l Rev. MT.

Lansing, of l Meriden, goes to Stamford.
 1 S.It will interest many in this city that Rev. Dr. G. w. Woodruff took supernumerary re-
 lations, his health being poor, and he goes to l the medicinal springs at Danville. His late
 charge was the Nostrand avenue church, Brooklyn, one of the finest in the conference. Rev. MT. Webster, of George street, preached
 for him last Sunday evening. There was a
 sharp contest in the cabinet session of the l conference over the desire of this church to get man ont of the conference limits, which 1 was overruled. They then pitched upon Rev. MT. Reed, of Stamford, who was picked out
 for this city, and he was assigned to them.
 Spencer H. Bray withdrew from the con-
 ference, having accepted call to the East Congregational church in this city, and the
 conference passed resolutions endorsing his Christian and ministerial character and in
 recognition of his services in the denomina- tion.
