The South Church Pastor.

A Vermont contributor to the Congre.
gationalist writes of the recent call OF
Rev. DR.. Barnes to the South church and
among other things says:
His movements Of late have been gov.
eined by the health of his wife, daugh-
ter of DR.. Magoon of Iowa College; and
he came to st. Johnsbury for temporary
service without thought either on his
part or that of the church OF his becom.
ing candidate. He has been with them
long enough to test the effect of the eli
mate, and they have come to realize his
special adaptation for the needs of the
place, as his character has unfolded be-
fore them and his pulpit work, appreciat.
ed from the first, has called out their
growing admiration. They are assured
he will prove worthy successor to Drs.
Fairbanks, Brastow and Weber. A
parsonage has been purch ased, occupancy
will given Sept. 1, after his return from
vacation on the Maine coast, and in
stallation will take place later.

Funeral of T. A. 1ackinnon.

The Montreal Witness gives the par.
ticuars of the funeral service in that city
of T. A. Mackinnon on July IA.
The body came from Boston in a car.
riage which had been fitted up as funer.
al car-delicately and beautifully fitted
up with all the accessories congruous to
the occasion. The engine which drew
the train was an old engine of the South
Eastern, which, in the old days, had the
baptism OF T. A. 1t is now called 90,
under perhaps more urgent and stren-
uous system. The engine was draped in
mourning. The engineer and fireman
were men who had served under Mr..
| Mackinnon, and they looked sad enough
| as they drew into the Windsor station.
First of all there came the flowers
flowers in the designs of hearts, and pill
lows-howers which filled, at least, FIVE
trucks. Then there came the porter of
the car in which the remains had been
placed--an old man who had served Mr..
Mackinnon for many years. He was
crying. It's the last time I'll ever at
tend him. he said, wiping his eyes.
The remains were taken out and con-
veyed to the hearse in waiting, followed
by the son of the deceased, his brother
from Sherbrooke; Mr.. Barr, assistant
general manager of the road, over which
Mr.. Mackinnon had presided; Mr.. Far.
well, general manager OF the Eastern
Townships bank, Sherbrooke; a group of
gentlemen from Boston and Concord, in
which latter place Mr.. Mackinnon was
particularly well known, and many in
fuential citizens.
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of
the c. p R., came specially up from st.
Andrews, N. B., to attend the funeral,
for Sir Thomas had ever the most cor
dial regard for the deceased--a regard
which was fully reciprocated.
The Witness gives long list of rail-
road officials who attended the service
and said the flag was flying at half mast
from the general Offices of the Canadian
Pacific Railway all day.
When the cortege was forming in front
OF the c. p. X. station it was found that
it needed two carriages to contain the
ITO wers. which were more abundant than
had previously been noticed at any tuner
al. AT the grave the Rev. Dyson Hague
conducted a most impressive service, and
not few visibly affected because of the
love they bore him who himself was as
loving spirit as ever sought to assuage
the rigors OF railway life.
The office of the Boston and Maine
Railway on St. James street has been tor
the past two days, out of respect to the
late Mr.. Mackinnon, draped in mourn
ing, while fine portrait of the deceased
is exhibited in the window.
