from which long and successful pastor
ate he has just resigned, with the con-
gregation'S hearty and practical ex-
preston OF regret and affection A
sketch in the New York Observer, for
December 18th, says "the congregation
have with enthusiasm and unanimity,
formally testified their esteem for Dr.
Mallery and their appreciation of his
pastoral labors, by arranging that he
sustain the relation OF pastor emeritus.
They have also appropriated to his in
dividual use one Of the large and hand
some parlors OF the church. And still
further to evidence their affection for
him they have voted to grant DR.. NAL
lery a salary or annuity for life. All
this speaks we'll for his congregation
and appropriately crowns the close of
happy and successful pastorate, which
is the longest in the history of this an
cient church"

may be regarded as Christmas day
miracle, for the two trains came to-

three sections indicates the heavy

The train was running at a high clip to
try to make up some OF the time lost

away at no mean speed. The express
