a resident of Hoboken on January 2,
1879. At that time there was a popula-

The growth Of Trinity Church, under DR..
Houghton's charge, has been remarkable
and today the parish stand among the
leading churches in the State. The ex-
cellent vested choir is the finest in this
diocese.
In addressing the vestrymen DR..
H%oughton was greatly affected He
stated that he had been rendered a call
to the Church of the TRANSPORTATION
some time ago, but had refrained from
accepting it, owing to his close relations
with his present charge. He intimated
tina in the fullness of time he would
probably succeed his uncle to the rector
ship.
The v~estrymen accepted the resignation
and appointed a committee to draw up
resolutions of regret to be adopted at their
next meeting on October Is. They also
appointed Warden Albert Stevens and
Vestrymen Edward A. s. Lewis and Prof.
Henry Morton to make arrangements to
fill the vacancy. So far, no one has been
proposed to take DIR. Houghton's place.
DIR. H%oughton announced shat he would
not preach any farewell sermon, as he
did not feel in a condition to do it.
A musical celebration will be held in the
church in his honor next Monday evening.
For thirteen years DR.. Houghton was
County Superintendent of Public Schools,
which position he filed with efficiency.
