The Rutland Herald of Thursday says:
The Rev. S. Nc Laughlin has returned
from Troy Conference, and begun to
pack up his household goods, and ex-
poets to move by the first of next week
to his new parish in Bennington.
The Rev Mr.. Nc Laughlin, in speak
ing in regard to the appointment, said
yesterday, that DIR. Graham is the most
scholarly man in the Conference, and
that his appointment to this church was
not known or spoken of before it was
made by the cabinet and announced by
the Bishop. The Conference report
shows that DR.. Graham has been pastor
of the largest parishes in the conference.
He was pastor of the Burlington church
in 1872 and 1878.
