Chaplain II. G. @. Vincent of the
House of Representatives, rector of the
Episcopal Church at Clayton, has
receive call from tho congregation of
st. James' Episcopal Church at Pauls-
boro. Nd, thriving settlement on the
line Of the Delaware river railroad,
about 90 miles from Penn's Grove. Mr..
Vincent has not announced his
decision, but ii is confidently expected
that he will accept the offer, as the
new charge will pay much larger
salary than that connected with the
Clayton charge. There are Two churches
in the New Jersey charge, but the
work is said TO be very desirable.
Mr.. Vincent is one of the most popu-
lar clergymen in the State, and host
OF friends will regret to sec him leave
Clayton. lie was originally Presby-
terian, but has been connected with the
Episcopal church IL months.
Harry Grattan Guinness Vincent was
born in New York City February 18th,
1861. Ho graduated from Brown Uni
versity at Providence, II. L., in 1885,,
and from Union Theological Seminary
in Now York City, in 1888. Tho three
succeeding years he was pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Hartland, Kan,
where he was ordained to the ministry
in July, 1888. In 1891 he accepted call
from Pencader Presbyterian Church at
Glasgow, this State. where he served
faithfully until 1859. In September of
that year he was ordained and accepted
call to the Clayton Church, where he
has lsbored arduously ever since.
During Mr.. Vincent's work at Clay
ton he has accomplished great deal of
good, which was recognized throughout
tho diocese.
When the Legislature organized ho
was chosen chaplain of the House of
Representatives, which oiiics ne is now

since the commission of 1889 have
marked their survey ard measurements
with enduring monuments, it could now
be readily accomplished by having its
action ratified by the States and ap-
proved by Congress.
The land of the plaintiff lies north of
the western arc OF tho compound curve,
his residence GOO feet north OF it, and
600 feet south OF the traditional line of
lI0l, as established by the evidence.
His land, therefore. having always
heretofore been considered and treated
as within the State of Delaware and
the proceedings Of the commission of
1883 lacking the assent of the States
and Congress, he is not liable for the
tax assessed and the injunction must be
