congregation of st. Johns Church, although
nothing could be ascertained as to the

and made arrangements and announced
some time ago an acceptance on his part

Church.
Whichever may have been the dissension

in confirmation of this the annual election
OF the vestry, which was held last evening,
is referred to. There were twenty-three

er congregation, pays a larger salary to
the pastor than is paid by st. Johns.
