The Middletown NJ. Il. Church, at an
official meeting held last week, unani-
mouely requested the return OF Rev. X.
Ii. Adams for another year, making the
fourth, and it is stated that Mr.. Adams
has consented TO do so, provided his de-
cision meets the approval of the bishop
aud the presiding elders.
Tbs decision may make some change
In the purposes OF the congregation of
Asbury NJ. E. Church, this city, IS that
congregation had some two months ago
extended q call to Mr. Adams to become
their pastor, an invitation which he &C
cepted, subject of course to the will OF
the higher authorities. Rev. j. E. Bryan s
thrce-year term as pastor OF Asbury ex-
pires this spring, and the official board,
for no other reason than not wishing to
change old esta blished usages, had asked
Mr.. Adams to become their pastor. Since
then there has been decided change OF
opinlon in Asbury Church, and between
breaking an old rule and keeping an ex-
cellent pastor when they have him, It
looks as II the congregation would prefer
TO break the rule and retain Mr.. Bryan,
which the action of the Middletown
church and Mr.. Adams gives them q
chance to dc without violation of any
former acton. Mr.. Bryan, in his three
years. pastorate at Asbury, has done good
service, and is alike beloved and respected
by others than his own congregation.

To much publicity cannot be given to
the fact that committee from the Leg
islature alter a careful examination OF
books aud a sitting of facts has fully
exonerated Clerk of the Peace Cochran,
OF New Castle county, from all charges
made against him that he could not
when called upon account for all the
license blanks that had been delivered
into his hands. II appears that these
licenses missing had been sent to him
without orders aud bad never been re-
ceiyed by him, but were charged against
him all the same, making 1t appear that
there was shortage In his accounts OF
several thousand dollars. State Auditor
boyce seems to have come across these
missing blanks somewhere, and produc-
Ing them before the committee the mys-
terry was unrayeled and Mr.. Cochran was
exonerated from blame. Mr.. Cochran
for two years has had only the self con-
sciousness of his own integrity to console
him under the charges SO freely made
against him by the press of both parties
In the State, and he is TO be congratu-
lated that even the weakest suspicion
against his honesty and official integrity
has been removed, and Mr.. Cochran can
feel no less kind to his political oppo-
nents that 1t was his own party that
brought the charges against him and
that II was Republican committee IRON
a Republican Legislature that exonersted
him from the charges.

Col. Norton wanted to know If The

the chair responded that he supposed the
city would be willing to pay it's share of
the expense.
Colonel Norton thought that a commit
tee should be appointed To arrange a
programme and TO fud out the cost, to
which 1t was generally agreed, and Mr..
McMenamin thought that the President
should be invitf d to stop over.
Washington Jones gave an interesting
reminiscence OF the past when Presidents
Polk and Pierce, as they passed through,
stopped OIL and were driven to the City
Hall where reception was held.
Col. Norton wanted to see the thing
carried out right, aud that the militia,
the 6. A. r. Posts and uniformed societies
should be invited TO Participate. He
also thought 1t would be better to have
too much money than not enough. Mr..
Bates heartily coincided with the sug-
gestion that had been made and thought
a committee should be appointed to ex-
tend an invitation to the President and
to make the necessary arrangements.
The secretary read letters from Colonel
Peyton advising the committee to appoint
n sub committee to confer with Adjutant-
General w. :. Striker of Tre nton, who i:
commissioner for New Jersey, and j. w.
Woodside of Philadelphia, who is com.

would permit a 200 foot wide Nv, nue. to
be cut through his KentmeTe property to
the property W. P. Bancroft desired to
donate TO the city for park pu poses, net
and went over the proposed route of the
avenue yesterday afternoon.
After coDferring together and carefully
reviewing the ground they called upon
Mr.. Field at his beautiful residence at
Rentmere and stated the object of their
visit, and that in order to accept Mr..
Bancroft's offer, it was Necessary to have
200-io wide avenue through his
(Field's) property. Mr.. Field listened
respectfully to the proposition Of the
com mmitu c, and said e could not possib y
comply with the request, as 1t would
leave many o! lis lots ent rely usfless.
MIR. Field, 1t is undersloo was wi ling
to donate a rOad way $50 feet wide, but
to secure Mr.. 4. Baucroit's offer an
avenue 200 feet vide is required. for
which an expense OF 81 900 would be re
quIed. The committee did not see how
they could consistently saddle that much
more debt upon the city when cthsr i'm
provements were more imperative, aud
so for the present the offer OF Mr.. Ban
croft will have to be declined.
