RELATIONS DISSOLVED.
Results of the Differences In the
Monmouth Church.
Especial to the Press.l

MONMOUTH, June 3.-The differences
which have existed in the Congregational
church at Monmouth during the past
few months, were happily settled by
advice of an Ecclesiastical Council, con-
vened at their house of worship on Tues
day, the End inst. Rev. l.. Fl, Hallock was
chosen moderator and FL. L. Tappan, Esq,
scribe. The investigation was patient.
thorough and impartial, and is embodied in
the succeeding declaration:
The council which convened to consider
the relation between Rev. j. A. Anderson
and the church ana society in Monmouth,
having made careful examination of all the
facts in the case, unanimously reached the
following result, viz:
We discover the existence of certain un-
fortunate misapprehension which have led
to unwi5e utterances on both sides, and to a
temporary observation Of the affectionate
Christian fellowship previously existing be-
tween the pastor and some members of the
church. But we also find deep and sincere
desire for harmony and good will, which has
this day found expression in mutual con-
cession and words of Christian esteem.
While constrained, therefore, as a council,
to recommend the dissolution of the pastoral
relation between Rev. j. A. Anderson and
the church in Monmouth, we do most cor
daily commend our dear Brother Anderson
S se ABE snd snT eryce Sf the
worthy and entitled to all Christian esteem
and honor. We also extend to his afflicted
family our sympathy and prayer for speedy
and complete restoration TO health.
We hereby express our sympathy with the
church in their loss of a faithful pastor, and
our appreciation of the Christian spirit with
which they have met the issue this day. We
pray God to speedily send them another
shepherd with whom they may heartily CO.
operate for the extension of Christ's king
dom among this people.
And may God bless all with abundant
peace and fruitfulness.
Signed: l.. Fl. HALLoCK, Moderator.

RAILROADS AT WAR
The Boston & Maine Has a Contest
ant for a Station site.

MANCHESTER, M. H., June 3.-The Bos-
ton &c Maine and Concord g. Motreal rail-
roads are engaged in a great race to see
which can erect a new depot first in this city.
The Boston & Maine, some two weeks ago,
filed location in the Secretary of States
Office, and the railroad commissioners have
appointed hearing. Meanwhile the Con-
cord & Montreal has purchased and secured
the deeds of part of the land included in the
Boston & Names location, and today broke
ground for the erection of new station
there. The work will hasten along as rap
idly as possible. The Boston & Maine claims
that, as its location was filed prior to the Sc
curing of the deeds by the Concord & Mon
treal, the land may be condemned by the
railroad commissioners, even If the Concord
has a new depot half completed thereon.
Interesting legal complications are likely to
result before the two depots are completed.
