The First Congregational church of Streat-
or, thinks more of its pastor, Rev. j. H, Shay,
than ii does of its connection with the state
association. Therefore, when the rcsigna.
ton of the pastor was rendered them a com
mittee was appointed who reported a new
" declaration of independence ~ which was
adopted and the church announced its sever
ance from the main body. Mr. Shay there
upon consented to remain as their pastor His
resignation and the position taken up by his
church will come before the Central Congrc-
gational Association at its next meeting. Mr..
Shay declares that his action is final Col.
Plumb has granted the free use of the opera
house to the congregation for ten years, and
the churchs success financially and socially
seems completely assured.

\ fire alarm was turned in just before noon
on Wednesday, which brought the depart
ment out in their usual good time. The loca-
ton was given at the Clifton House, and the
steamer was consequently attached TO the fire
plug at the northeast corner of the Court
House, and when everything was in readiness
for service, the announcement was made that
it was done on a false alarm, there being sew
cral insurance men here for the purpose Of
establishing new rates for the city. II was
fortunate the alarm was false For some
reason no water could be obtained at the by
drant, the connection between that and the
reservoir being imperfect. The insurance
agents commended the department for the
quick time made in getting ready for service
but emphasized their disapprobation Of the
water supply, or rather the inadequate means
the city has for applying the abundance Of
water we have everywhere around us OF
course no excuse that could be made would
satisfy them that the present difficulty would
meyer occur again in the city They advised
more frequent trials Of the various hydrants
and plugs, and an occasional exercise Of the
department, which, by the way, they thought
one Of the best volunteer departments in the
west.
