Rev. DR.. Edward Halves, for 10 years
pastor ofthe First Congregationalchurch
at Burlington. rendered his resignation
of the pastorate Thursday, to take effect
not later than the end OF, October.
Fifteen years ago the coming Christmas
DR.. Halves preached his first sermon IN
the church over which since April, 1888,
he has presided as pastor. b,
DR.. Halves, who is the acknowledged
intellectual giant of his denomination in
the state, and who has only friends
wherever he has been, closes his letter
thus: ~ dare not with particularly en-
ter upon a review Of the years spent here,
lest the tide of memories Of scenes joyful
and sad should bear mt away. 1t IS
enough to say that the time is reached
when the indications are that my ork
among you should end. | therefore now
resign the pastorate of this church. You
will believe that existing ties cannot be
sundered without the deepening OF de-
sires that have never been wanting, that
you may be guided to know and helped
to do the divine will, and that He whom
we love and whom we serve may yet
bring great things to pass for the honor
of his name and the good OF men, by
means of your unity of spirit, your faith
and Christian zeal"

Foreign Notes of Real Interest,

The Japanese steamship line is the first
one to make Manila one of its ports.
The hippo Yusen Kaisha has been consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of having its
steamers on the Australian line call regu.
larry at Manila, and has had the matter
investigated by the staff of the Hong
kong branch, who reported favorably on
the proposal. 1t has, therefore, been de-
cided to carry the scheme into practical
effect from August next, and application
has been made for the approval of the
government.
The British Pacific cable, which is now
soon to be begun, will be 1886 miles long,
extending from Vancouver by way oil

land, and thence by branches to New
Zealand and Australia. The cost is
placed at 1900, 900 and is to be borne
by Canada, Australia and the British
Government, but chiefly by Australia,
The object is to unite the scattered frag
ments Of the Empire more closely, and
also to reduce cable rates. At present
the rate is $1.1S between Great Britain
and Australia by the Eastern route
This will be materially reduced at once
and as the enterprise is to be a govern
ment undertaking, rates will be continu
ously reduced as fast as increase OF bust
ness j%usti6es it. Existing private cabl,

OFFICIAL
Dewey Reception will be n Hnndsom,
Souvenir Well Worth Preserving.

The preparation of the New York State
official programme Of the Dewey recep-
ton is now in progress, and orders are
received from all over the country and
abroad for this great popular souvenir
OF this national event, which indicates
the interest manifested by the general
public in the great reception to be ex-
tended to Admiral Dewey on his arrival
in New York, September %. The state
legislative committee, Of which Senator
John Raines is chairman, has perfected
all arrangements for the Dewey recep-
ton.
Mr.. George T. Parker has returned
from Washington, where he had been in
consultation with the navy and other
officials. The indications now are that
from an artistic standpoint the State
programme will be equal, il not superior,
to any souvenir programme of like nature
ever published. The official design
adopted by the committee is an illumi-
mated cover illustrating the life of Ad-
miral Dewey from his entrance to the
Naval Academy to the battle Of Manila
Bay, which is life-like and realistic. The
vivid picture of the Man Behind the
Guns" is but a fitting tribute to the gal
liant men who fought with Dewey OF

extra papers sent from the st. Johns.

creditors of his defunct bobbin fac
tory, some of whom claim that he
gave his personal promise that they

MANY HORSES FALL DOWN.
The Block Pavement About the City
Hall Open to Serious Objection.

Twenty-four horses slipped and fell
upon the new pavement laid in front Of
the City Hall yesterday. One horse, be
longing to Mr.. A. IL. May, had its thigh
broken.
Members Of the Committee on Streets
see in this circumstance a tremendously
strong argument against the Belgian
block pavement. and in favor of the
granite spalls. The coating of ice on the
new pavement which is peculiarly
smooth, has made the blocks round the
city Hall almost impossible. Asphalt. it
is claimed would be open TO the same OBJ
lection as the Belgian blocks, and for
that reason the Streets Committee will
probably adhere TO the old style of paw
ing, using the granite spalls, which,
though more noisy has been proved to be
better adapted TO the hills of Richmond
and far safer.
