Memorial Service.

The weekly prayer meeting at the
North church last Wednesday night was
a memorial service to the late pastor.
The meeting was in charge of Dea.
EImore T. Ide and an enlarged portrait
of DR.. Heath was placed on the platform
with palms and azaleas in front. The
first business done was the passage Of
these resolutions introduced by Judge
w. p. Smith:
Whereas, our beloved church has been sor.
| rowfully stricken in the unexpected death of
| it's beloved and devoted pastor, Rev. Albert
| Hayford Heath now be 1t
Resolved, That we recognize in this sudden
| bereavement the loss OF one to whom the
ministry OF this church was always labor
| of consecrated love and earnest devotion,
and from whom each member. W thout re-
gard to age or station. was sure of a warm
| grasp of the hand, a loving word and a
| loyal in crest
| Resolved, That we here express our ap-
| probation of the excellent intellectual en-
| dowments of our deceased pastor: of those
| benign and endearing qualities of the heart
| which were his In so large measure: OF a
| spirit, the warmth and sympathy of which.
| went beyond the ties of church and family :
| and of his tender ministrations to the unfor-
tunate and the bereaved throughout the
community, which exemplifed his abiding
faith in the brotherhood of man"
Resolved, That we cherish the memory Of
our departed pastor for his sterling qualities
as a citizen. Every good cause, every effort
to ennoble and elevate society, every means
to progress, found in him ready and able
advocate. His daily walk among tus bore
indubitable proof Of his firm belief that the
world Is to be won to higher life, by con-
tact with 1t and not by seclusion from 1t.
Resolved, That the highest honor we can
pay to his memory is to make his life, in its
devotion. humility and faithfulness to the
Master, an inspiration for ours.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
upon the records of the church and copy
sympathy to the family of the deceased.
NORTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Resolved, That the thanks of this church
be extended to the North Congregational
church of New Bedford and the Plymouth
church at s. Paul the former pastorates of
our departed pastor, for their kind express
sions of sympathy sent to this church in its
sad bereavement.
The rest of the hour was well taken up
by tender tributes from various embers
of the church, including a message of
sympathy from the South church, pre-
sented by Harvlin Paddock. A beautiful
letter to the church from Mrs. Heath
was also read.
The church voted at this meeting to
appropriate SIS from the treasury to
furnish a room at Brightlook Hospital
to be known as the "Dr. Heath memorial

Wool.

BOSTON. July &.-The Boston Commercial
Bulletin will say tomorrow of the wool market:
The wool market is less active than during the
last three weeks and II anything. much stronger
than before. The business done IL larger than
the average. covering every grade OF wool. Wool
dealers are already under contract FOR all the
staple wool they sort out for some time TO
come. The sales would be much larger were &c
not that most dealers are 80 busy on deliveries
that they will not sell more wool except at an
advance The weakest point OF the market 10
strictly medium WOOL This Is due 20 the fact
that English woods are at the lowest point
known. English and Irish wool has been selling
at and IA pence. and during the last few weeks
heavy purchases have been made OF Irish and
Shropshire woods for the American market at q
secured cost laid down Of &c cents for the Irish
and 43 cents for Shropshire. These woods COM
pete with native quarter and three-eighths blood
combings. All woods OF finer grade are fully sus-
tanned by European markets. where the tendency
is towards even higher prices. The sales OF the
week are $4,000 pounds domestic and $1,000
pounds foreign: total OF ss7 600 pounds. against
10 ls5, 900 pounds last week. and 2,s25.0oo pounds
for the same week last year. The sales TO date
show an increase Of ~ 5A 100 pounds domestic and
a. 1872 400 pounds foreign from the sales to tha
same date in 1855. The receipts to date show an
increase OF 2oos43 bales domestic and 43.s4s bales
foreign.
